Your job is at Microsoft. At least you're doing a great marketing job here.
Sure, Microsoft is no longer the monopolistic behemoth it was back in the 90s. Nobody here has claimed otherwise.

There is a wide spectrum between "absolute domination" (your strawman) and "desperately trying to stay relevant" (your argument).

> Microsoft is another IBM now

Only someone with very little actual experience of the business software market would make such a claim.
Why not?

Why in this case is it acceptable to make decisions on non-statistically significant data? You would exercise more rigour than that in a throwaway A/B test.
Using the above numbers as an example... from this sample size, we can be fairly confident that the current Uber fatality rate is greater than the sober human fatality rate (assuming that the Uber rate is 1 fatality every 3m miles and the human rate is 1 every 100m miles). Here, T is in "millions of miles".

I am willing to put up with the latency because I really do want to do anything with Google. And I only recently learned about OnlyOffice which seems a more viable solution going forward.
That's a challenge. Some networks (exactly the ones you mentioned) are in alpha or pre-aplha stage. It's more of the potential than the real thing we're talking about. Still good to list them all, in case passing by hackers get interested and join the development teams. But it's a good idea to enumerate some unique features where possible, yes. Added to todos.

Same reason clinical trials stop early if someone dies. It might just be bad luck. Unfortunately we'll never know and that drug might never be tested again. It might have been an amazing drug.

In this case, based on how it played out, I personally wouldn't want Uber's self-driving cars near me.
But isn't luck is being in the right place at the right time? If so, a sensible approach is to find the right place and just hang around...

(Unless the right time was last week, in which case you're out of luck.)
Likely, but the inverse may be not true.

Which makes me think of it would be prudent for the government or military to invest in this tech as well. Companies like Northrop Grumman while being bureaucratic nightmares, take safety pretty seriously.

It got a lot better unit testing UI recently especially being able to snapshot test different scenarios. In the end if you have stateless React components testing with jest and enzyme is easy. Again supplying state hooks for the various different interactions a more complex component might have is perfectly possible.

Additionally separate your components logic from rendering and test that; e.g. a calendar widget I just created has a load of tested functionality for creating lists of dates with various attributes (isCurrentMonth, isToday, isSelectable, isSelected, etc). This can be unit tested just fine.

Finally I’d strongly recommend cypress for doing e2e testing.
It's been posted in related threads, bit many, many more human miles are driven per fatality. The problem is that the number of self driving car incidents is too low to reliably extrapolate out.
Seems like kind of a pointless action to make it look like they're responding. Uber already suspended their testing in Arizona.

"You're derailing the conversation!" said the man who had just finished enumerating the practical issues of flying cars and cleaning robots.
>Sure, as long as we apply this principle evenly.

It is applied fairly evenly, despite how many people try to frame it. Online piracy is often referred to as "illegal downloading/filesharing". People selling fentanyl aren't referred to as "unauthorized pharmacists" but "illegal drug dealers." And speeding isn't "illegal driving." When you're speeding, it's not the act of driving itself that's illegal. It's the speed violation, which is often referred to as illegally speeding or illegally exceeding the speed limit. Illegally driving would involve either driving without a license or driving a stolen vehicle. Illegal immigration involves actively violating the law in order to gain access or maintain access to another country. The argument over what term is appropriate is bikeshedding.
Cisco had money burning a hole in their pocket and bought a some consumer stuff and then had no idea what to do with it ... so they sold most of it off, or simply discontinued it (like flip video).
Yes, Google has all this information. No, it hasn't been as careless with it as Facebook. If that counts for nothing in your threat model then your model is useless and you're just spreading FUD.
You would be even right if you go as far as saying these alternatives do not provide privacy, quite often. It's still all in "the cloud". Yet there's one thing. The content. You'll never get that kind of content in mainstream networks (or maybe you will, some foss groups?) but not in such concentration. Once you become a regular user of "alternatives" there's no turning back (I hope it doesn't sound trite). So the effect on the mind and on society is the answer to your question, imho.

Does it test as unique on subsequent visits?
No. 3 million miles of observation. You can get a pretty exact and conservative estimate with a bayesian poisson process model. I don't have the time to run the numbers right now, but my guess is the posterior estimate that Uber's fatal accident rate is higher than a human's is >90%, even if taking the human accident rate as a starting prior.
I hope the memory enhancements show considerable improvements. I've seen people with >32 GB memory complaining that AS eating enough RAM to affect productivity.

Tip: If you have dual GPU system try launching AS, android emulator, Idea, WS, Pycharm, with the discrete GPU i.e (Linux/ATI in my case).

'DRI_PRIME=1 ../studio.sh'

bash -c "LD_PRELOAD='/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6' DRI_PRIME=1 ../android-sdk/emulator/emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_27 -gpu host"

I have seen considerable improvements in productivity for the same codebase with 3rd gen corei5 with ATI 7400M series GPU vs 7th gen corei5 with intel integrated gpu both having same memory. The OS setup is same.

Obviously, java by itself isn't using the VRAM; I assume the visual rendering of IDE's & emulators use it and leaves enough RAM for the AS to gulp.

So men or women in the Congo, let's say someplace like Goma...

forced by warlords, let's say someone like Nkunda, to go into the mines... or die...

is less exploitative than a landlord asking a tenant for sex in your eyes?

Question was rhetorical. You obviously have a problem with the sexual dimension of the exploitation, and the people of eastern Congo don't face the choice of going into the mines or dying.

It's Nkunda... he offed them anyway, but they got to live a little longer if they went into the mines.
They used to be known for that, but the quality of support slipped and there are so many competing options they are not even on the top ten list

I would say Google is the new Microsoft of the 2000s now. From what I hear from friends, it’s very slow moving and filled with empire building leaders like Microsoft had. Amazon is really commendable in this aspect. Culture really does make a big difference no matter how smart your engineers are. I mean just look at how many chat/messenger products they have now.

Gsuite may be lightweight now but it’s only a few years away from feature creep with PMs pushing their shit and making it a bloated mess.
Every Belkin product I owned was garbage... but just like you I ran across a couple power strips that are surprisingly good.

Isn't this already known for years? I might be wrong but feel like the whole thing with Cambridge Analytica was more about accurately influencing public opinion than it was about data being leaked.

This is kind of dumbing down the issue, but: anyone not well-versed in implications of privacy violations would feel way stronger when claiming "Mark Zuckerburg is partly responsible for Donald Trump becaming president" versus "Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft have data which will make you more susceptible to spending slightly more money [...on something you don't actually need]"

EU law considers a citizen's data their personal property (akin to a bank holding a citizen's money), and Google is holding a lot of it. Google could get into significant additional legal trouble depending on the method they chose to withdraw their services.
Other websites are different. facebook is performing one big MITM attack between friends and family, and shameless siphoning and selling all information to nefarious bidders.
> To be honest, about this issue of privacy and security, most of the world really doesn't care. The people who do care are not a majority and not even a significant statistic. Providing an apology is enough for most people, since they don't understand the depth and scope of the problem at hand.

This is what worries me most of the time. Another commenter under this thread pointed to some kind of poll about Facebook. But polls don't matter much. People may have negative sentiments about Facebook, but what really matters is if this sentiment is reflected in almost the same proportion by an exodus of users from the platform or a significant drop in usage of the platform, while showing an increasing trend (even if it is for a short time). I believe most people will be angry, but will keep expressing that anger only on Facebook while their "friends" like and react and comment, creating exactly the fuel that Facebook needs — engagement and attention-minutes on its platform!

> Shareholders know this. Mark will receive a slap on the wrist, and business will continue as usual as this fades out over the next 1-2 months.

I believe the same too. Based on all the goofs from Facebook over the years, this one is just a bit more serious but would not be the reason why millions of people would boycott it. That requires a "disaster" on a larger scale, which I'm sure will come in the future because of Facebook being Facebook.
Mssql is significantly more expensive to run than postgres, Mongo, dynmodb, or mysql when you need a real sql server. This is true for both self hosted and cloud solutions.

Dynmodb in AWS offers 25gb free. That's twelve times the storage without charging you a dime.

Stallman loves the internet. He very openly hates the modern commercialized internet which disrespects, spys on, disimpowers and manipulates users chasing financial gain and 'engagement'.
Out of the 95 billion or so[0] people that have ever breathed air before the year 1900, all are dead dead.[1] Every year on average, 500 people die of carbon monoxide poisoning[2]. If that rate was steady for the amount of time humans have been alive, that's a total of 25,950,000 deaths ever from carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Carbon monoxide exposure kills 1 person every 18 hours (500/8766h).

Oxygen has killed 1944 people every 18 hours (108x18)[3].

Yes, I would absolutely replace a gas that kills 155,000 (108x60x24) people/day[3] in favor of a gas that kills 1 person/day."

This is lying with statistics. It's not the right way to use data.

Sure, but you wouldn't expect FedEx to replace their entire fleet this year. A somewhat more meaningful number is how many new FedEx freight trucks will be built by Tesla over the next year.

And UPS has placed an order for 125 of them (https://electrek.co/2018/03/26/tesla-semi-electric-truck-ord...) as well.

You're right that this isn't going to radically transform the country's freight fleet overnight, but I think it's a signal that these companies are willing to switch to EV technology if it works. The next hurdle now seems to be Tesla's ability to execute.

If websites follow local laws these communities, whatever value they have, will disappear. In fact anything that reminds society of the existence of anything that they feel is shameful (e.g. sex workers in Saudi Arabia [1]). Right along with any discussion anything else that either the state itself or society considers shames them.

The net result: "Saudi Arabia is one of the largest consumers of domestic workers. Around 30% of Saudi's population of 27.3 million are immigrants from other countries. The Law requires that all of the expatriates in Saudi Arabia should have a employment contract while they are in the country. [6] But with some unfair work practices such as sexual harassment, extreme working conditions, and other human rights violations, many try to escape their employers. Runaways are often kidnapped and forced into prostitution [7] Prostitutes tend to be mostly from Nigeria, Ethiopia,[8] Yemen, Morocco, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Tajikistan .[9] As of right now, there are no strict laws in force pertaining to human trafficking. In 2013, the government did not report any prosecutions or convictions of alleged human traffickers.[7] Foreign prostitutes who are arrested by the Saudi vice police face deportation.[8]"
