I don't think being a corporate mouthpiece was the reason Hillary lost; I think it had more to do with her lack of charisma and the many years of media that had engendered a deep feeling of mistrust towards her. Obama was almost as corporate as her, in my opinion, except he was much more well spoken and likable. Biden is along the same lines and it looks like he's gearing up for a run for the presidency.

Also as election season approaches, I think that disapproval will rise simply due to all of the marketing/discussion that will bring back into the public consciousness all of the reasons people disliked Trump in the first place.
Blockchain does imply a consensus protocol, though. Thats what the block is for.
Genius move by Apple. This is a marketing move, clear and valuable differentiation from competition. What's perfect about this is that the competition can not claim the same (Google/Samsung/Android and to a degree FB). It's not like increasing RAM and the competition then easily follows. Props to Apple for realizing their strengths.

I don’t think we are talking about the same thing. I don’t recall seeing any porn in her videos but I think I saw some very hot soldering irons. If you’re having a hard time disassociating “females on the Internet” from porn, I’m sorry but I don’t think I can help ya there.
If you read his latter books, Diamond makes it quite clear that he really does believe that the environmental situation of a culture is the most important factor in its successes and failures. (Collapse is especially egregious in this regard).

One of the main problems of Guns, Germs, and Steel is that it ignores a lot of evidence that is challenging to its thesis. To be fair, some of that evidence wasn't available when the book was first written, but Diamond's more recent comments indicate that he still believes in now-discredited theories (such as Clovis-first peopling of the Americas), and some pieces of evidence are fairly obviously wrong even when he wrote it (such as the fact that most latitudes don't actually have climactic continuity, and the ones that do involve civilizations that were "backwards" for most of history, such as the steppe nomads).
Under the previous administration, there was a special policy for Iranian students made so that their visa date interview collide with the beginning of their semester and they would be under-enrolled at the critical date and lose their visa immediately. Some universities had to create special programs with different dates for those students. (now they are outright banned from applying for a visa)
Good tip, thanks.

Quick question. Where do the designers / developers find assets? Or do they create them from scratch? One such 'assets' I've manage to find recently is https://mockuphone.com (no affiliation), but apart from that there isn't much besides the usual. Fontawesome, pexels and the lot.
Yes. Some things (like voting) are rights of citizens, but the 1st and 5th Amendments (for example) guarantee rights to "persons" which includes non citizens who are in the US.

I like this response and agree with you.

Another option is "Because the rest of your candidate pool won't generate the value that I will and it's a business risk to allow a competitor to hire me."

I wouldn't use this answer fresh out of college though. Instead I might go with "Because I'm more capable than my graduating peers for X, Y & Z. I'll give you better bang-for-buck over time than other new grads and mid-level candidates in your pipeline and you don't have to pay anyone a recruiter fee."

Go for the throat. Also nobody gets this level of confidence/honesty/awareness in response to these questions, so at the very least you will stick out.

Make sure it's a check you can cash though.

The last fifteen years I have been lamenting the fact that we happen to be living in that tiny slice of history between the internet being invented and the internet being everywhere, having to deal with things like “long distance” and “no service” and underhanded last mile monopolies.

I could not be more excited about this.
I like the model of the start-up called Clutter which was mentioned in the article.

Because you never visit the physical location of your property - it is picked up and delivered to you - there is scope for virtualization and end-to-end automation of this service. Also they photograph your items, so you can inventory more easily.

Our upgrade process is very gradual. As long as you've fixed all of the dev warnings for the last minor release of a given version, you should be able to upgrade to the next major without any problem.
I wouldn't call myself familiar, but from just looking at how they both work, evolutionary strategies don't appear to have a crossover step.
This is the Ride Share Guy's false assumption:

"It’s important to understand that traffic is rarely an issue when I’m going to and from the airport, as I’m usually doing it in non-peak hours. So the part of the cost having to do with time shouldn’t fluctuate by more than a few dollars."

The time has a very large impact on the price, because morning is when demand is commonly the least elastic (people need to get to work)

Uber is not "ripping off frequent riders", it's charging more for trips where riders will accept higher prices. And now, the Ride Share Guy has ripped off Uber (and it's drivers) by publicizing a flaw in pricing.
Drawing the Line: The Disturbing Secret Behind an Iconic Cartoon
That makes sense. Probably TPC-C died after Oracle basically killed off Sybase and Informix. No more well funded competition to keep up the pace. And no multitude of RISC vendors trying to fend off Linux/X86.

The open source databases didn't play that game, so TPC-C became irrelevant.

Too bad there isn't a good way to directly compare the healthy survivors.
Which part would it violate?
True, but I would correct "some" to "most." Neoliberalism is a blanket term that encompasses multiple axes that some might be split on, so many people aren't either 0 or 100% neoliberal, too. Republican rhetoric may not by and large lean neoliberal, but the way they vote often is. Even if neoliberalism is weakening, it's still the dominant economic ideology in the US government.
>"Here’s a tip: if you don’t want something to be up for all time, don’t even bother posting it. Keep it to your self. There are a lot of damning things and incidents that could end people’s careers and reputations that I’ve never posted about because I do not want the permanent liability."

Do you feel it is reasonable to ask this of adolescents who might disregard or circumvent measures their parents put in place (if they even have them)? They are not yet aware of what consequences this can have or the magnitude and seriousness of them. They are not mature enough to do so in many cases.

The arcade version of Mortal Kombat used the TMS34010.

The Genesis port ran on a 68k of course.
No, but you could do it in a similar way as the "Dynamic Context" example [1] - store the authenticated user/status in component `state` and pass it down via a AuthenticationContext.Provider. Then anything that needs to know about it could use the AuthenticationContext.Consumer.

Also, remote LTE towers could provide cellular connectivity anywhere.
Thanks for that correction. I recall there being a clear reason why I couldn't use their data in my app. But maybe I had it wrong. I remember reading that if my app collected new data about foods and I was using the OFF db, I had to commit to making all my data free and open. I was worried about the possible case that personal food consumption data would be vulnerable to that share-alike constraint.
Regulation can enhance confidence and breed investment interest.
At what point do filtering or targeted omissions become considered anti-competitive practices? It is one thing for a government to issue and companies to uphold gags because governments are not in competition.

As many of us learned from the unauthorized Swarm Technologies satellites the other week, the FCC approve satellite launches. So this is effectively SpaceX getting the final sign-off they need to launch this service - I think that can count as an advance. I think there are a lot of arguments to be made about the world-changing nature of this project but I'm not sure FCC approval is the best one to downplay.
> However, the current volatility will level off significantly once there is wider adoption.

Begging the question.

> Would we feel differently if it was called "Boy Bo$$"?

Good point! If this were geared towards boys and had articles like “How to turn your Minecraft playing into $$$ by streaming” and “Getting started in sales: baseball cards edition” would there even be a discussion? Would the New Yorker be so indignant?
I dont think parent meant that the FCC approval itself is what should be celebrated, but rather that the technology needed FCC approval to move forward, and every step closer is something to celebrate
Is "server side Swift" becoming less niche? I'm not clear on why it isn't competing more with Go and Rust.

I've been thinking about different situations in which Redux could be replaced with the new Context. Id sure appreciate having to write less boilerplate. The biggest concern I always get stuck on is where I'll put all my app's business logic, which I'm so used to putting in async redux-observable or redux-thunk actions. Does anyone have anything ideas on how to make an elegant business-logic-full Provider component?

> From this perspective, the subsequent depopulation was not the intended goal of the conquerors, although they indeed caused it through disease, wars against resisting groups, and disasterous attempts at improving the agriculture system to fit European models.

Depopulation might not have been the goal of the Spanish, but it was a very explicit goal - in fact the foundational goal - of Anglo-American settlers.

For example, in order to become a state, newly settled territories had to meet specific criteria which included a minimum ratio of settlers to native. That created powerful incentives to drive away natives by any means necessary.

The history of Tennessee is a brutal example of this, but there are (literally) dozens of examples to chose from.

That is also why, in the US independence war, most tribes that participated chose to side with the British Empire. They understood very well that between a distant empire focused on resource extraction on the one hand, and a fast-growing nation of settlers focused on land acquisition and ethnic cleansing on the other, it was in their interest to pick the lesser evil.
The original arcade Mortal Kombat (and MK2, MK3 and UMK3) were all written in assembly for the TMS34010 processor. No doubt ports of it to the Sega Genesis did use 68K assembler.

The TMS34010 was something like a CPU and 2D graphics processor combined. It has the ability to change its word size from anywhere between 1 and 32 bits with data addressable on bit boundaries. It's wild.

I'm not familiar with OCaml. Its syntax looks like a high-level language (which is good).

Can we compile code into a single binary and run it on a user's machine without any extra installation? Does it work with Windows?
Realistically, not much.
I'm 9 years your junior and I wouldn't care if pictures of me fully naked were all over the internet, but at the same time I'm a privacy freak. I think the division for me is: my image says nothing about me other than my love of gluttony, but my words and actions are my identity.
That's a pretty bad answer. Might as well just get up and leave if a question like that offends you.

If someone answered that to me it would tell me a lot of things. You don't want to deal with non-techies, you don't want to deal with business requirements or company objectives, you probably don't work well with others, especially if they aren't critical to achieving your tasks.

Ultimately, it is a small-minded approach. If you are working at a startup you probably need to have some business-sense to fill in all the gaps, and if you work at a mid-size to large corp. you are going to be stuck in the basement and someone will need to be the filter to keep you productive at all. Some people work like this and that's all they want to do, but it's self-limiting. Most companies will hire someone more aware of themselves and their role within the company.

But to answer the original question, a good answer would probably be an honest one that is clearly stated. Something like "I feel this is an ideal opportunity for me because the responsibilities of the role are challenging but not overwhelming. I am excited to work with [tech stack] and I'm impressed by [proprietary]. Your team seems knowledgeable and I look forward to learning from them just as much as I can contribute."

The (paraphrased) answer provided is "They aren't; Google removing Kodi from autocomplete is similar to sporting goods stores removing guns from sale".

Do any pilots want to chime in about the utility/value of touchscreen UIs vs. tactile controls in planes? As a non-pilot I don't really want to comment, but I know they're controversial and I personally find them obnoxious in cars.
Because men were stereotypically more likely to do risky physical stuff. Especially if it's stupidly funny. But of course, that's less so now in many cultures, as women grow up feeling more freedom to Darwin out.

> Unintentional injuries are the #3 leading cause of death among men, but it is #6 for women. This is probably due to the fact that men are much more prone to saying things like, "Hold my beer, and watch this." Also, men tend to work in more dangerous professions where being killed on the job is a possibility.

Thanks. People just don't get it though, in general. This is the only reason anyone gets hired, period.

If you can simply demonstrate that you understand how to provide the business with value then you're miles ahead of 99% of other candidates.

If anyone doubts this, go ask people who do sales how they answer this question. Great sales people in interviewes will already have a calculated dollar amount in new revenue that they're going to bring to the business.

My whole resume is presented as projects I've done that generated real value for the business. My interview and offer rate is above 50%. It's not rocket science.

From what I remember he implied direct connection from home to satellite.

Latency could beat fiber, but I am sceptical about bandwith in high population areas (and bandwith of the satellite mesh network). It will be a game-changer for low density areas, but most of us will probably still want a fiber connection.
The point isn't to go after everyone who fails to completely or accurately answer, but rather to provide a pretext for the deportation of people the government disfavor but lack a criminal case against; for example, an immigrant opposition leader, protestor, or whistleblower.
Agreed. While not as profound as bringing access to the developing world, this will also be a major win for people looking to live alternative lifestyles, i.e. perpetual traveling, van life etc, where keeping a consistent internet connection is the one thing holding many back.
No it was The Shield... I guess this a common trope?
Yeah I think it's the vulnerability that's important too. Anxiety applies to the senior as well as the junior. Senior programmers feel they need to look competent. But much of software engineering means not knowing things and how to deal with that.
What socket was it? I think all modern sockets are LGA - and even before that, they were ZIF for a long time.

From one of their early FAQ docs:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/7zqm2c/starlink_f...

"What kind of antenna does it use?
It will use a flat Phased Array antenna about the size of a pizza box or laptop computer and expected to cost between $100 and $300.
You will need line of sight to the open sky, mounted on your roof or anywhere outside.
The antenna handles both upload and download and is capable of gigabit speeds."
Looks like you just invented cable :)
The fundamental issue, I see, is the polarizing platform. When it comes to modern day discourse you're not looking at a nuanced debate, you're just seeing pro and anti. I don't even need to cite a source, you just need to look at the division in the world around you and wonder why it looks so fucking simple. Nobody is focusing on big issues because everybody is being told to look for an attack or to make a defense.

It's an old book but I recommend reading Flat Earth News by Nick Davies, it gives an incredible insight into how current affairs are spun into particular forms to suit certain agendas. The key motif of the book is that there are more than two sides to every debate but we treat it as gospel that you're either for or against. It's never so easy as that.

The Collapse of Complex Societies (1988) [pdf]
Having done the process a few times over the last, oh, two decades, I can say that some things have gotten easier while others have gotten a bit worse.

Assembly a PC is pretty easy these days, most of the parts go together pretty easily, and your chances of everything working on the first try are pretty high. This is way different from ye olden days when it might take hours just to get a PC put together correctly unless you were lucky, hardware is a lot less fiddly these days than it used to be.

But buying all the components for a PC is more challenging for novices. This can be hard for techies to understand because we just assume that everyone knows what we know. But your J. Average prospective computer building may not know whether a Core i7 8700 is better than a Core 2 Quad or vice versa. They also may not know what the heck an 8th generation Core i7 is. There are so many generations of components now and so many gradations within each generation that it can become and informational overload. If you try to go at the problem directly by just heading to newegg or amazon and browsing for parts without doing the research you're going to have a bad time.

There are a zillion different socket formats, there are a zillion different motherboard form factors, there are a zillion different GPU lines and each one has a zillion different variations. How do you know which are compatible? How do you know which ones are the best? Or just the best for the price? Are higher numbers better? Worse? Not important? Is LGA 2066 better than LGA 1151? Is a GeForce 9800 better than a GTX 1080? There are a zillion of these little questions. Already knowing most of the answers makes navigating the problem vastly easier, having to find an answer for each and every one of them can be exhausting. You absolutely need some sort of guide or hand holding to get started on this problem from scratch but if you don't have any pre-existing knowledge you don't know where to go. (Personally, my favorite is http://www.logicalincrements.com but there are others.) You need someone to help you narrow the scope of the decision problem to a manageable level, otherwise you'll drown in choices and questions until you run out of will power to continue.
