I honestly still can't wrap my head around how (most) tech companies are actually supposed to be making money. Nobody (including advertisers) seems to be willing to pay for any of this stuff, but it still costs a fortune to make. Some of the big players like Netflix and Amazon seem to be making real money from real customers (but still don't appear to be that profitable?) but Twitter?
Facebook? Even Google? Where the hell is the money actually coming from? Google has massive operating costs - are there really enough online advertisers to subsidize an operation like that? I've often wondered if the investments in tech have been coming from speculative investors who were hoping to get in on the "ground floor" of something that would eventually become profitable.
Good to know. Surprised that I never heard of nest before. Their mattresses look like conventional ones. Would love to know how it compares with T&N, since nest has a few that are priced better ran T&N.
It is a bit more complicated than just data becoming a liability.

There are a bunch of moves that the current president has taken that undo the actions the previous president took to help the United States and the global economy recover from the worst financial recession in history. The undoing of all of those efforts and the efforts of previous generations is seriously a risk the global marks and capitalism.

Potential NAFTA withdraw, TPP withdraw, Paris Climate Accord withdraw, starting trade wars, creating America isolationism, is a serious headwind for the global economy for for American prosperity.

The markets are beginning to price that in and will continue to do so until we get back on the course we were on before this administration took office.

I'm sorry, but apparently the "Right" (as a broad term encompassing a set of different ideologies) is dead. The American "Right" has been replaced by "Republicanism" and dissent is not allowed. If you are not 100% in agreement with Trump, you are Antifa.

I wish I was kidding.
Why is this getting downvoted? Phones have been used as tools by bad actors and criminals too, that's a fact.
> You know, maybe we'll actually see some legislation on personal information and privacy and how it must be handled over time and in acquisitions sooner than later.

Depending on how many influential people they can black mail already, it could be too late. A would be blackmailer isn't going to give up their method of control.
I have a mac, it's a great piece of hardware, and it works great for doing basic stuff, surfing the web, responding to emails, writing documents, but for my work I find Linux so much simpler to use.

Linux just works, sure it's isn't pretty like macOS but it let you get your work done fast, I know perfectly how everything is put toughener, there is a problem surely I can fix it in seconds, just edit some config file and done, it has far more tools for developers, if you need to install software you have the package manager, sure on macOS you have brew but it have some problems, and a lot of developer tools either don't work on macOS, or doesn't work correctly, or are similar but not the same as Linux.

In fact on my mac most of the times or I works with remote servers or with VMs on my computer, because for development work Linux it's far better.
OpenBSD is great if you enjoy rooting around in the innards. I find the code simple and easy to read. Man pages are extraordinarily complete and accurate. OpenBSD devs go out of their way to delete unused and crufty code.
Destination port might be easy to differentiate dns over tls vs dns over https :)
Looking for a Python, Go or Node developer to join our 3 person team.
We are building a push-to-deploy CI system for the Salesforce ecosystem.

Currently, Salesforce developers suffer from: no source control, tedious manual deployments, and no roll back. We've built a hosted service with automatic source control that "just works", and modern tools to review and deploy updates. We are in a growing, opportunity-rich enterprise market: $13B are spent every year on professional services for Salesforce development.

We believe that maintaining high-revenue-per-employee is the best way to ensure that company culture stays strong. We admire companies like Basecamp, Mailchimp and Atlassian. We are funded by customer revenue and Indie.vc.

Our stack is primarily Python and Go (Node.js developers interested in learning Go should also apply). You’ll get to work directly with the CTO on important technology decisions.

Email team@bluecanvas.io if you're interested. No recruiters please.
I'm always surprised that the main reason people smoke is not cited first.

For all you that haven't done it: smoking causes pleasure. A fast, intense and repeatable pleasure.
There seems to be a strong anti-Tesla campaign afoot. I'm not surprised given that the entire auto industry wants them to fail and a significant portion of the auto industry (and unions, etc.) want EVs to fail in general.

Tesla seems to be having some severe growing pains, but I have learned not to count Elon or any of his ventures out. Self-landing reusable rockets were impossible too according to pretty much the entire aerospace industry. If it comes down to it Tesla could still raise quite a bit of money almost overnight, albeit probably with more dilution than they would prefer. I have little doubt that they will eventually scale up. Question is how much blood they will have to spill in the form of liquidity and market cap before they get there.
We should all not forget that if IBM, in the 80s, controlled its hardware and software stack like Apple does now, we would not have the modular desktop PC and we would not have Linux.

I consider the extreme vertical integration of Apple as a bad development (Apple recently is trying to control even rare Earth metals). I like the market to be "modular", with many different vendors, making replaceable parts that fit together like in the desktop PC. And I wish for a future where I still have a choice, instead of being forced to use iDevices for everything from scientific computing to consumer media players.

That's what you think.
You might want to recheck Trump’s approval ratings.

Oh and the “Trump Defends White Nationalists” trope? Here’s the video [1] and here’s the quote;

“You had some very bad people in the group. But you also had people, that were very fine people, on both sides.... So you know what, you’re changing history, you’re changing culture, and you had people, and I’m not talking about the neo-nazis or the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally, but you had many people in that group other than neo-nazis and white nationalists, okay, and the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.”

If you have an issue with DACA maybe talk to your congressman. Trump’s been trying to get a legal fix for DACA for months now.

As far as TPS is concerned, maybe the “T” doesn’t stand for what I think it does, but 2001-2018 seems pretty generous for the Salvadorans. Unless you’re telling me those countries are still too ravaged from natural disasters over a decade ago to return to?

But I’ll stand by the assertion that while we do have borders and we do enforce immigration law, we also provide entry for half a million immigrants a year. It seems like you’re claiming that because you can cite a specific special interest that isn’t being granted special citizenship outside the legal system that has existed for decades, therefore the doors are closed and that’s somehow xenophobic. I personally think that’s inaccurate and perhaps hyperbolic. While you’re entitled to your opinion, I think a large portion of the country will continue to have reasonable and open debate as to what levels of immigration is right for the country, and how we should select for those immigrants, without resorting to calling it xenophobic.

Good on him. When I first saw the title I was hoping they were found in Scotland when they were The Silver Beatles. I thought I might have finally got to see my grandfather (Tommy Moore) in action on the drums.

Doubt I'll ever see that.
Government, for the most part, seems to actively promote giant mega-corps, particularly with all the mergers they've allowed happen over the last 30 years.

Company: "Merging this and that will benefit the customer."
USGov: "Ok, good enough for me!"
I'm envisioning a Mac with multiple Ann chips in it. Why stop at 1 when you could put 8 or 14 Ann chips in it?
That sounds like a good development. I'm especially concerned about stuff worn against the body (earbuds, sports wearables, watches, cellphones). Laptops and tablets are also potentially dangerous but it's not as if every fuck up will immediately lead to injury.
Fair enough. I just know that the main complaint I see against Rocket here is that it requires nightly (and supposedly enough nightly features that it may be a while before it doesn't). As something that requires a developmental build of the compiler, it didn't seem like the best representative sample to me, but if it's about par with other frameworks, then it works well enough.

Thanks for the leg work. :)

Is there a better version of this idea written somewhere I can share? Something with not so much sarcasm and more reason.
The efficient-market hypothesis basically asserts that if a price weren't a function of rigorous analysis, then there would be a sizable incentive to find and correctly analyze this stock, and trade appropriately to take advantage of the inefficiency until it no longer exists.

There could possibly be a more optimistic pricing in the markets if we factored in, just as a random example, that people are more timid to short rather than buy, as a short can easily result in a loss higher than the entire value of the position. An interesting read if you'd like to go down the rabbit-hole of that ideology would be anything on the concept of 'Adaptive Markets' by Andrew Lo. Rather than the common physics/maths-based approach to market behavior, it focuses on a more biological one, and thus includes these 'emotional inefficiencies' that may be present in market pricing.
I've never had to change it in more than one place on my xps 13
It disgusts me how any comment like yours that goes against the status quo here is downvoted,and if you are lucky enough to get a reply, it will inevitably avoid your points and just pivot to the same preferred talking points. Ironically, the people here expect uneducated laborers from middle America to completely understand a complex world when they themselves can't participate in good faith in an intellectually honest discussion.

Who will be the first to jump for the report button boys?
Sadly, the article doesn’t say what’s being uploaded to Google.

Just the file metadata of my documents folder? Just the metadata of the files that Chrome thinks might be malware?

In this climate, I’m shocked Google thinks they’re above needing to fully inform their users that their web browser is inspecting user files that have nothing to do with that browser.
Because the blog post is advertising for the service. The goal is to make it look like enough of a pain in the butt that it's worth paying someone else to do it, but not such a big pain in the butt that a cloud service would be expensive or impractical.
I love that the maintenance page has a button labeled "Order Online" (https://delivery.panerabread.com), which is the page/domain broken in the first place!

"Zetsche joined Daimler-Benz in 1976, working in the research department. In 1981, he became Assistant Development Manager at the Vehicles business unit. He became a member of DaimlerChrysler's Board of Management in 1998 and served as the President/CEO of Chrysler Group from mid-2000 to 31 December 2005, where he was credited with a turnaround of DCX's American operations. Since 1 January 2006 he succeeded Jürgen Schrempp as Chairman of DaimlerChrysler (now Daimler AG), being succeeded in the position of Chrysler Group CEO by Thomas W. LaSorda."

and

"Mr. Krüger joined BMW in April 1992 and served as Director of its Production Strategy, Control and Planning Division. He managed BMW Group's engine plant at Hams Hall in the UK and served a number of positions within the Human Resources division. He served as the Chairman and Director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Ltd. from May 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. Mr. Krüger serves as a Director of BMW Manufacturing Co. LLC."

Yep, quite a fair bet that any of those two know far more about auto-making than Musk ever will.
That is why you build robots with size and strength of a child first, to limit amount of damage it can do, and to allow human adult to overpower it if necessary.
ARRIS Group, Inc. TG1682G less than a year old. This is what everyone has in Denver, as far as I'm aware. Most of the devices settings aren't managable by its own web interface, I have to go to xfinity.com/myxfi and login to the account, and then it pushes changes to the cable modem/AP. This includes the login password for the device's web interface. Thoroughly screwy in my opinion.

Anyway, there is a Connection > Local IP Network. But no DNS settings anywhere.
I think you were reading too much into the analogy.
...we would not have the modular desktop PC and we would not have Linux.

There’s probably no way to support that counter-factual. We could easily have ended up with some other open-architecture personal computer and open source operating system.
There are independent benefits to struggling with something for a while by yourself before adopting someone else’s solution. For one thing, you will understand the problem and their solution a whole lot better.
I’ve seen way too many Dell lemons to believe its as simple as “it just works” with Linux.

Also, as someone who used to live next door to the creator of GNOME, saying it isn’t as polished as MacOS is quite an understatement.
The same rationale that applies for allowing cars with Cruise Control? Is it impossible to have a fatal crash when you set the car on cruise control and doze off? Chances are probably exponentially higher than that of a Tesla on an Autopilot.

I guess it depends on the style of usage. Nobody I know sends a "this is an interesting link I don't really expect anyone to read" type message on WA. But everybody on FB and Twitter does it.
Generally it is best to be explicit in your opinions. I liked the article (longform and all) and don't know what bias you are talking about.
It's obviously not legit
From what I've heard, x86 to PPC or ARM emulators are doing dynamic recompiling and instrumentation. It catches the illegal memory accesses and rebuilds the code responsible to add paths with slower code with alignment compensation.

A lot of x86 code is aligned for speed already so it's a pretty safe bet to assume alignment and fix it up if wrong.

It's near impossible to create shortcuts for everything. A modern IDE may contain thousands of possible actions at any given time.

That said, however, modern IDEs:

- have shortcuts for many dozens (possibly in the hundreds) of most commonly used actions

- allow you to map any action to a shortcut of your choosing

- allow you to search for a particular action via a keyboard shortcut with fuzzy matching, which is often faster than trying to remember the shortcut for a rarely used action.
Speaking about the classical C/C++ mainstream, and more from the Linux perspective:

Tooling for C and C++ mostly relies on some external package manager, often the OS-provided one (on most Linuxes, for example). There isn't a standard cpan/npm/pip/cargo for C/C++, although there are plenty of tools that can do kind of the same thing.

There's also not much support for virtual environments (there are tools out there, but not ubiquitous tools). It's pretty easy to point the compiler to a different set of header files and libraries, even on a per-file basis, to get a similar effect.

And from the Apple side (which I have a vague understanding of, having dipped my toes in a few times): Most of the documentation assumes that you're using XCode, and I'm pretty sure that the version of the compiler is just tied to whichever version of XCode you're using (which has a somewhat looser tie to the version of MacOS you're running). So in that case, you'd be using the XCode-provided toolchain rather than the OS-provided one.
"I’d prefer crippling fines"

Probably won't happen until some Senator gets personally burned. Equifax hasn't suffered much, for example, and they released almost all of their info for every adult in the US that ever used a credit card or had a mortgage.

I'm almost wishing some activist hacker would buy the data for the House and Senate reps and go to town...just to get their attention. Purchase pornhub accounts , shady drug site stuff, escorts, etc, and start sharing it publicly.
Spokane is not rural. Newport is rural, Yakima is kind of rural, but Spokane has 500,000 people and a grimy downtown. Spokane’s current decline, vs. when I was a kid in the 80s, is due to a decline in...manufacturing. Also, Kaiser as a major aluminum processing center there , fed by cheap hydro power from columbia river dams, so the steel/aluminum should be of some benefit (though that feeds a Boeing operation that could be hurt by retaliation tariffs). (note: I don’t support the tariffs, just pointing out the facts).
The OP is saying 'there are icebergs ahead', and you are saying 'lol, nothing to worry about, we are moving at record speed!'.

The recent market volatility has more to do with the debt markets than near term quarterly earnings. No one really knows how the messy combination of tax cut fueled growth, trade wars, inflation (or lack of), fed rate schedule, record US deficits, and unwinding QE will impact markets, but the general consensus is that interest rates are going to rise. The question of the day is 'how fast?'. Too fast, and it will hit the brakes on the economy. Too slow, and we may overheat (if we haven't already).
Super fast provided that you're in California ... network latency dominates any other implementation detail.
A really excellent summary of the distinctions.

One thing I'd note is that before that Internet era, the scholarship needed to discover who had done X previously took a really significant amount of time. The Internet has changed that a lot, at the same that it has tempted people into tinkering and overall wingnuttery. I remember in 80s, having professor who functioned as little more than a search-engine, tell him an idea and, after a couple of puffs of his pipe, he'd give you a list of people who'd worked on it. He was marvelous despite apparently never having done much more than providing this kind of information.

Another thing to note that scholarship implies a "community of researchers". If you are working problem X and people have looked this problem before, you should think doubly or triply before you claim your step-forward is necessary because people as smart as you already tried to think of everything. The article kind of says this but also consider that the people who have worked on this stuff exist, they have publications, conferences, meetups, etc and you can go to these or look at these and find-out whether or not your idea was considered and rejected, think about what's different between your idea and the idea the "field" rejected and so-forth.
We also use transfer learning a lot. Using transfer learning is but tricky because sometimes you might upset generalised weights of pretrained network with bad hyperparameters. We had written a blog before for using transfer learning as well

My general philosophy about nutrition is simply to listen to my own body. As in: how does this meal that I just ate or drink that I just drank make me feel? I've noticed with certain foods, I have strange feelings after eating them, so I'll tend to stay away from eating them regularly or even at all.

I'm not sure if there's any merit to this way of considering my diet, but it feels like the most sensible approach towards deciding what I should or shouldn't eat.
So Redis that you don't have to setup?
I can’t decide whether to flag this or upvote it. I guess I’ll settle for replying.
Then read the user manual and use only accordingly.
I'll trade you an anecdote, for whatever it's worth: One of my earlier memories was learning in school that your daily intake should be mostly grain. But recently, after cutting grain out of my diet completely, I went from 240lbs to 210 with zero exercise.

It's weird to realize that pretty much no one knows what's up with nutrition. It's the opposite of data-driven.
