The manufacturer of the machine or components thereof who has all the specs and time put in the work that enables windows to support the hardware.

Free software development time is finite and information on some hardware is notably absent.

If you desire better support pool money to pay for improvements to particular hardware. Anything else is hoping people are willing to expend their resources for free so that you don't have to.

In the meantime I'm guessing most people intend to eventually buy a new machine. Upgrade time is a great time to think about trying Linux. Instead of

Linux it will run on whatever terrible machine you got on sale at Walmart with a Vista certified sticker.

Think instead...

Make your next computer a Linux machine.
This is extremely interesting and I'm eager to see the follow-up.

I'm currently planning something very similar at my company and any reference to how other smaller-scale companies handle this when scaling is invaluable. Are there any other blogs from other companies which have talked about similar things?
Actually, here at my uni, I run my desktop PC 24/7. We don't get a dedicated IP, but I use [ngrok](http://ngrok.io/) to run a sort of pseudo server, for free basically. (electricity and net costs included in my hostel bill :D )

Maybe a sort of volume based scalable plan might be good?

Something like a few cents per comment? Or based on the size of the database generated?

Since the biggest problem is that small blogs, like mine don't get anywhere near the generous numbers offered in the hosted blog plan... And optimizing SEO and advertising the blog is way too much effort.
Thanks! We appreciate that!
The problem isn't that Thiel is contrarian, the problem is that many of his beliefs (e.g. women's suffrage being a mistake) make for a hostile work environment.

You're not the first to reframe the issue to Thiel being simply a person who challenges conventional wisdom. As though all contrarians are alike and automatically beyond criticism.
Exxon Thinks It Can Create Biofuel from Algae at Massive Scale
Of course, direct air removal/carbon capture could just be run at a loss by governments as a public utility, but it's not as cut-and-dried as something like public transit, which provides a tangible service.
Clickbaity headline. It's not the "blockchain technology" as a whole, but some specific use of it that can potentially violate the GDPR. You don't need a blockchain to violate the law: you can do it with paper or mysql or usb keys.

Bottom line is: don't put your customers' personal data onto anything that you don't control.

Nothing to see here.

10 Startup Mistakes to Avoid
Limbo Is Now a Side Project
Huh, I'm one-tenth of one percent.

AMA, I guess.

But yeah, this got me into trouble a couple times. I actually have a /openid URL on my site that redirects to Google, but forgot. This, mixed with accidentally having two accounts (back when Careers was it's own thing) meant some poor SO rep had to do a whole bunch of untangling one day.

I'm glad they're consolidating systems into an easier-to-understand thing. If it had just be email/password from day 1, I don't think I'd have had half the troubles I did by trying to be "future-compliant".
Thanks for asking about this. We don't expose our APIs at the moment - because the SDK is how we achieve extremely high performance / reliability. The SDKs do a lot of optimizations for you because a standard API round trip can be pretty slow.

> Say an employee leaves, they should have the right to have records removed.

Not exactly. They have the right to be forgotten which is slightly different, and the company has certain rights to keep those records. Recital 65 is quite broad and allows a company to remember that it hired (or fired) someone because it may need this information to protect against legal claims, or to pay taxes correctly (i.e. another legal obligation). It would seem to permit private blockchains, and (at least in some cases) public blockchains.

Why fungi adapt so well to life in space
The old counterexample to this claim (I got this from David Friedman, but I don't know if it's original to him) is that there are two ways to make cars in the US: build them in Detroit, or grow them in Iowa. The way the second technology works is: you plant wheat seeds, harvest wheat, put the wheat in ships, and sail them into the Pacific, and they return with Toyotas. The fact that there may be Japanese involved in the second process is irrelevant from the perspective of the US economy.

If the exchange price of Toyotas in wheat is "unfairly" good because of government manipulation in Japan, so much the better for the Iowan car farmers. And if the government of Japan intends to reverse its manipulation in the future, there's no reason US markets can't take that into account in their capital allocation decisions, just like they would mines that might run out or climate that affects the wheat crop.
Yup, sorry, typed that on an alphanumeric.

But tech-hype has always existed, side by side with those claiming tech has maxed out... It's disappointing to see the media even try TBH.
You're right that it is technically a type of hack, but it isn't Binance that was hacked. It was some Binance users.
The iPhone 5S is still supported by Apple and was released on Sept 10th 2013 [1] .

The last iPhone to be not supported by Apple was the iPhone 5 released on September 21, 2012 and ended support on July 19th 2017 [2]. They supported it for almost five years.

The Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, and Pixel C were released on September 29, 2015. [3] [4]. Their software support ends today on March 7th which is slightly more than two years.

What do you use your 5X for though? I couldn't get more than 2 hours of video streaming on mine in a single charge and it was less than 1 year old.
To prove you wrong, consider how DOM elements are created (remember in Surplus there are no virtual elements). Ignoring all dependency tracking, the code to show some text has to be (eventually) of the form

x = document.createTextNode(v);

Now, consider the dependency v changes. The only option is to run the code above again, in its entirety. And thus, the DOM node corresponding to the text is new.

Of course, a smart library will ensure that the amount of nodes that has to be visited is at a minimum. But that doesn't mean DOM nodes don't get rebuilt from scratch.

Each tree can be traversed independently. Each tree is traversed until a leaf node is reached. Those leaf values are summed for all the trees. The sum of all the leafs plus a base score is then returned. In the case of binary classification that sum is passed through a sigmoid function. For linear regression the sum is returned.
I think a better way to say it is that it helps to prevent turns of current regimes (that already have Internet infrastructure built and used) into oppressive regimes.
Also, colour me dense but I'm a marketer/PM and I can barely understand what's on the landing page. And there's no way that sales needs feature flagging.

I know it's early days but maybe slightly simpler copy where you tell me what feature flagging actually is?

On the flip side, I learned something pretty cool today! :-)
Cryptocurrency markets have absolutely nothing to do with forex markets and the suggestion that they share commonalities or should be compared together is both deceptive, ignorant, and perpetuates a volume of misinformation
This is an interesting idea for understanding how different worldviews form.

Possibly also how sentiments like "facts have a liberal bias" or "liberals live in a fantasy" come about and ring true. The set of facts you use to judge who/what is 'in-frame' are essential to your understanding of the world. Someone else who treats those facts as optional ("Sure they don't believe in global warming, but they understand the issues with immigration") clearly has a poor understanding of "how the world works".
I've seen a lot of people commenting about the artifacts you hear when the samples are stretched. These happen because of phasing issues, where frequencies in each of the grains are interfering with one another.

I'm surprised I don't see it mentioned here, but there's a rather interesting extension to this technique made by Paul Nasca[0], which midigates these artifact by (1)carefully choosing the size and placement of grains and (2)randomly changing the phase of each grain before recombining. You can see the algorithm here[1].

The results are absolutely incredible. You can end up slowing a sample down by 800% or more with no artifacts. For example, here[2] is the Windows 95 startup sound extended to be a little over 6 minutes long. The reverb you hear isn't added, that's just what is sounds like.

Also, if you didn't notice from the page, it's one of the default plug-ins in Audacity.

Oh man, the 5X was such a piece of junk at the end of its useful time as a phone. I never really liked it, while the Pixel 2 I'm using now I can definitely see myself using it for a bit longer.
This site has a pretty good survey of the open-source options in various languages: http://featureflags.io/feature-flags/ (you have to pick a language from the menu to get to the page specific to that language, as the page I linked to is more of an overview of the concept, and there doesn't seem to be one page that lists them all).
I'm very disappointed in this change. Having communication centralized in one place is important to me, and this means I cannot centralize on open, federated protocols.
A New Antidote for Noisy Airports: Slower Planes
As long as we're doing recommendations :-) Before the days of Alton Brown, I lived by The Cake Bible https://www.amazon.com/Cake-Bible-Rose-Levy-Beranbaum/dp/068... I'm amazed that it still costs about the same that I paid back in 1988!

Classic Home Desserts (https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Home-Desserts-Treasury-Contem...) seems to be back in print!!! Yay!!! Not as theoretical as The Cake Bible, but it has interesting notes about the origins of various recipes. Try the Jack Daniels Raisin Roll -- one of my favorites.
I think word would get around after a while.
BTW, can you please clarify for me exactly what it was about my comment that crossed the line? Was it the actual content, or just the editorialized phraseology ("real soon now"). Because it is simply a fact that a significant fraction of American society really does believe that there is no need to address any long term problems because the Second Coming is imminent. If I had phrased it like that, would that have been OK?
Personally, I outright disregard a large number of sources - There's so much rubbish online that the 'middle ground' is extremely unlikely to be the truth.

Firstly, I don't think it's likely a cryptocoin is going to destroy any major currency.

I don't agree having a non government issued currency means you don't have a government, for one there seem to be a few countries that use the Dollar or Euro as the de-facto currency.

The James Damore Google manifesto and the Youtube creator demonetization censorship comes to mind right now. Granted that's only one company, Google, but I think there's a general feeling that if you're not on the left leaning political spectrum, you're going to have your opinions shuttered.
This has nothing to do with system 1 vs system 2, it is what you experience vs what you remember from that experience.
Why do I have a feeling... that their next move will be... to sandbox everything. Everything goes through Google's servers. They'll advertise it as a universal firewall that will protect you 24/7. "Having continously updated software means no more outdated software!".

And then using software that has known exploits (so old versions of Android/iOS) will be illegal...

And then they will censor comparisons of Winnie the Pooh with the dear leader...
Understanding Friston's Free Energy Principle
I would totally run that experiment on April 1. Run a multi-armed bandit to pick the best UI and voila! The perfect crowd sourced user interface design.
The smell reliant cooks I know apply it equally to baked goods. They crab at me for opening the oven to check by eye. They can smell that it isn't done yet.

This would include my mother and oldest son. I have many years more experience cooking than my son and I still help him with understanding recipes because I have a better skill base than he has. I cannot cook like him. He is a much better cook than I am.

I am happy to do vegetable prep, a thing he loathes and sucks at, and happy to play consulting chef to fill in his knowledge gaps. Meal quality went up when he took over the cooking and he enjoys it a lot more than I do. I think I don't enjoy it in part because I'm not really that good at it. He only had to run me out of the kitchen a couple of times and then I was very happily all "Fine. Be that way. I will stay out of your kitchen." (said with a winky, basically)
The technology cannot discern the intentions of the nation attempting to regulate it. Tyrannical oppression and reasonable regulation both use the same punishment stick to beat those who step out of line.

Anything that can free people from tyranny must necessarily also be able to free them from the burden of obeying laws. The reasonable standards of conduct have to actually be built into the system in order for it to have a limit on what amount of external control is allowed.

Systems with smart contracts would be able to specify that a government actor could interfere--even retroactively--with any transactions that explicitly opted in to that jurisdiction. So you could sue someone over their Ethereum scam, and a judge could rule in your favor, and then a clerk forwards the order to the technical magicians for the digital circuit court, so that you get as much of your money back as is technically possible to recover.

If you don't opt in, you are in the land of caveat emptor, and the court tosses your case because it can't help you, even if you deserved it. Or people could opt in to private arbitration. But if someone wants their mathmoney to be outside the reach of government enforcement, it is necessarily also out of the reach of government protection. If you won't follow someone else's rules, you can't expect that your untrusted counterparty will follow them, either.

The first state to create a solid opt-in jurisdiction for network-based civil complaints will clean up, just as Delaware has for corporations.
I agree. We're a collection of stories that we tell about ourselves, and if something happens to cause cognitive dissonance with our desired self image we become distraught and often rationalize our way back into a comfort zone.
Netflix has a similar issue, which is presumably why they started making their own content. Maybe Spotify should start it's own label
Nobody is paying me to sell you Linux. I'm honestly more interested in countering what I see as low quality information borne of lack of experience and knowledge.
> I get my news online by scanning CNN, CBS News, Fox News, and BBC. I view ALL news as being biased (online or print) and by looking at several sources I figure that the truth is always somewhere in the middle.

Frankly, these are all sources which don't disagree with each other very much, fundamentally.
Now we need a decentralized SEC, or some sort of crypto/ICO-centric auditors.
Oh, it's not the battery that'll shorten the lifespan of the 5X and the 6P. It's the CPU. I've already had to replace my 5X under warranty twice. The second time was because of the bootloop problem, which will happen to every single device equipped with the Snapdragon 808 eventually.

My phone is basically living on borrowed time. And honestly, the next time it dies, I'm done with high-end devices. Having had to replace my phone twice in under two years has convinced me that I should treat my phones as if they were disposable, and so I'm going to buy my next phone at "disposable" prices. My next phone will probably be a Moto E4 or something in a similar price range (and I'd be willing to buy a $50 Chinese shitphone if only I could find one with AOSP and not some shitty custom UI).
Thiel has had plenty of interesting opinions and nobody faulted him for talking about them. When he helped elect a senile crazy person to be president though, that was just awful. Not something that challenges anyone's world view. Nobody has been enlightened by that process or by Trump.
Well for one any sort of auction/market like ebay, flee market, high end auctioneers, the like. They are trading precious metals/jewelry, other objects in which the buyer hopes to profit at some later point in the future. No one is out there buying XYZ widget in the hopes of burning their savings.

No one is buying an ultra rare watch for $10 million in hopes that one day it will be worth less.
I was a long-time Nexus 5 user and upgraded to the Essential PH-1 last year and can't say I regret the decision. The 5 is still my favorite all-time phone given context, but the PH-1 is a pretty significant step up and has one of the prettiest form factors I've experienced. Some owners have experienced teething issues with the device, but it's been super smooth for me and I've been impressed with the speed of the updates (as you'd expect being an Andy Rubin company).
It isn't completely irredeemable in a different context. Such as if the network supported expedited operations for things. Imagine if Ethereum had a built-in or special smart contract that was a wallet contract. It has an owner that is just some address (another contract or desktop wallet). If Ethereum expedited changing ownership (where ownership changes are signed messages of the current owner so there is no trust involved), then the idea works.

Edit: wait, no, that shouldn't be much faster, if at all. Still need to get it in a block and, IIRC, Ethereum is account based so this is basically how transfers already work, just using arithmetic...
Enough to convince people to drive as opposed to working some other job or leisure time? Evidently.
In India, language and food, both change every 200km. When you tell this to people who haven't been to India, they usually think you are exaggerating but it's surreal how diverse India actually is.
In some jurisdictions, it probably soon will be[0].

Bundling is a form of risk management in which a publisher bets that the collective value of a bundle will be of greater interest to a large population than any disaggregated set. There are problems when certain portions of that bundle dominate the product, and are not what you care for (sport being a disinterest you and I share). Worse if sport intrudes other sections of the production -- I'm familiar with a print source in which it may be found on the front page, multiple times within the front section, periodically on the Op Ed pages (though those are otherwise almost wholly lacking in interest or information already), business, real estate, entertainment, ....

I'd be happy if it were simply restricted to one section which I could then discard with no regrets.

Your criticism of the Times's culture coverage is one I share. I've strongly suggested that at the least a regional substitute be offered such that local offerings elsewhere within the US -- say, Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle -- be offered print subscribers in those areas.

The Times is close to being a reasonable alternative to any local publication, though this also poses concerns....
While you may be right about Vinay Prasad being an alarmist (I have no idea), the second article is actually based on a bill written by 7 senators with (seemingly) no relation to Vinay's work.

>As for pricing, my local paper charges more for a digital subscription that to deliver a paper to my house. Subscription models are messed up.

It's because print advertising is still more effective than digital. We've been hearing for more than a decade that this will change any day now, but it hasn't happened yet. And the more people use ad blockers, the longer it will remain true.
Yes, lots of people brag about their jobs, life, see Facebook.
It's notable that Thiel had right-leaning views for a long time, and it wasn't until he acted on them and helped elect Trump into office that anyone pushed back.

What a lot of traders do is use 50% of the Kelly limit to cover this risk. At worst by staying under the Kelly limit you reduce your return, while if you exceed it you will blow up at some point.
