However, what to do when the grant runs out?

Well, you get another. Lots of non-profits run only on grants.

Have you thought about applying for EU grants? Open Access is one of the goals on Horizon 2020, the €80B EU program[1], but even after that there's no shortage of EU cash being dumped on anything even barely related to "innovation".

The maintenance argument is barely noticeable in statistics. If it were a noteworthy factor you'd likely see insurance companies offering discounts for passing some sort of inspection in states without an annual safety inspection.

You really have to start making bold claims about the validity of the data before mechanical failure is a meaningful portion of what causes car crashes.
I would look past the juvenile jubilee and bigotry in celebrating comeuppance to the "gringos", but that's all your comment is.

It does nothing but mirror the radical mindset you choose to focus on within America. One might suggest if you were serious about positive change, or even just having a discussion in this thread, you would provide some insight and knowledge toward solutions.

As a Latin American, it's disheartening to read.
What exactly was the benefit of removing quote characters? It does allow for easier grepping in some instances, but as you already covered, the brackets from array notation generally need to be quoted as well. I think you're better off just assuming the need for single quotes when grepping this output, since the fact the output is valid javascript is very useful, IMO (especially with autovivification in JS), and losing that to make it slight easier to search is regression in my eyes.

But maybe I'm missing the benefit you're seeing, and it's not about searching?
A slightly off-topic related question.....does anyone know of an Android app that does not require root, that can find and kill (preferably configurable so it happens on boot) apps that run in the background?

For example, AirDroid - it is very useful occasionally but I don't use it 99% of the time, but it is still there running and killing my battery life. Perhaps I can better configure it, but that's not the point - I'd love to have a solution that puts me as the device owner back in control, I'd like to see what's running, I'd like to auto-kill things I don't want.
MIT technology review, July 2012 on Obama app implies that it could've collected more than just 'facebook handles', where does that information come from?

"
The app’s avowed task is to give people a quick and easy way to access the volunteering and organizing functions that worked so well for Obama in 2008. But the permission screen that comes with the app makes clear that it has another purpose as well. When I installed the app, I noticed that it said it would grab information about my friends: their birthdates, locations, and “likes.”

Think is 'expected to run for <5 years' since the device has 5 years of software support. I find that to be a bit of a bummer, but it's still better than android's 3
> Our Software Engineers benefit from a working environment that encourages them to produce excellent code with a customisable workstation, multiple monitors and an open plan office.

I'm struggling to understand how an open plan office fits into this. Are the current employees happy with that? Given the choice, I would definitely get a real office with a door and enough silence to reason about code.
>> Is there proof of this?

> Yes, all regulation hurts economic growth.

What about the proof of that? What basis are you making the assertion on?

It seems like some regulation can promote growth. For instance, regulation on product safety increases consumer confidence in the safety of those products and creates a broader market for them.
The artists themselves would have to be on-board with that, and they're not.

Like it or not, many artists believe they need TicketMaster to promote their shows. I think they're wrong, but there needs to be a large culture change for TM to actually get the quick death it deserves.
> Participating in the deployment of propaganda is not a slippery slope, it is a violation of trust. If our journalists are willing to participate, then we have a problem.

I agree, and my intent originally was not to downplay the core problem, but to point out that dismissing them as "gutless cowards" was not the ideal way to approach it.
It's not that lies are getting to me, it's that I've changed my view about the all-convincing nature of facts. I never before understood how easy it is for people to just pick and choose a set of base facts to support whatever reality they want to live in.
As usual the patent gets awarded to the party that doesn't have a product or even a proof of concept while the market has already moved on and has been selling the product for years.

OK but while you're making a cynical critique you're (perhaps inadvertently) creating a false equivalence between reportage (of events like plane crashes, notwithstanding the possibility of editorial selectivity/framing) and straight up opinion/editorial that doesn't inform the viewer of any facts whatsoever. This is not just as bad, but qualitatively worse.

I'm a fan of your Dad by the way, I remember that article when it was originally published.

Actually, it's not always the price. Serious developers or seasoned computer enthusiasts doesn't change rigs every couple of years. If one's system is performing well enough, and the user gets used to it, system upgrade can be deferred until some technology or computing resource becomes necessary. When something breaks, the broken part is replaced and upgraded in most cases.

Personally, I've just upgraded from 1680x1050 to 1920x1080. My old monitor was 10 years old, and was performing relatively well. I bought a new one, because it started to show its age (mostly backlight age).
No. Linux on the desktop has some specific list of pros/cons. Windows can be better by enough, even if inertia is the only advantage.
Life is short for those that have triggered immortal processes. There are no easy ways to do this however. (the easiest way being starting a family)

Most people probably feel that life is too long and boring and are always looking for something to do.

It's probably somewhat offensive to these people to claim life is too short when their major negative emotion day to day is ennui.

I think the internet has exacerbated this problem for some people. Those who can't bring themselves to do things because they can easily see that it's already been done before but weren't young enough to grow up in this new environment to easily consider doing things like game streaming or YouTube channels.

You're right. I have edited my comment. I apologize.
Windows used to be the biggest market differentiator for Microsoft. What does Azure do that Amazon or Google can't? What would make Microsoft uniquely different if it had no Windows?
Ah, I didn't realize that. I thought they were trying to do something like Mycroft with the Mark 1. Mycroft releases their platform to be installed on other devices, but they also make their own (Mark 1).
My impression was that they made advanced predictions what a gravitational wave observation would look like from a binary black hole merger, and then they measured pretty much exactly that. This is why we believe the machine worked.

The other reason we believe them is that they (together with VIRGO) found a neutron star merger, and that was confirmed by many other observations in many different spectra.
I believe this is one of things that Wayland fixes. (Unless, of course, neither your debugger and application support Wayland natively and they both end up running in XWayland.)

The US existed, and was prosperous, before the Second World War. How the US economy functions in the postwar period really has no relevance to how it got to the position it was in before that. I do hope you’re not suggesting that a single protectionist act having a negative result means that 100 years of protectionism was actually bad for the US.

Protectionism was very effective in developing economies. Once your economy dominates and functions mainly by extracting value from submissive developing nations (who are not allowed to enact the same proteionist rules that allowed the US to become so powerful) free trade becomes beneficial to you (but not the other party)
Er, "mainstream media" includes local news organizations...

When I grew up, local news was (surprise!) somewhat independent. Each television show had their own particular style of reporting or emphasis on what they tended to cover. I never considered local TV news to be terribly great in quality compared to the newspapers, but at least it wasn't monotone in nature.

So, there's nothing really wrong with the spiel per se (everyone has bias and opinions). Except that it was pushed to 100s of television stations via local news channel, to be read exactly out loud as written.

That's a pretty strong argument to torpedo the merger. Forget the political angle... apparently on Sinclair stations, there's a push to make local news and national news no different. This is what really is terrible. Approve the merger and you probably will get the same effect of the massive consolidation of US radio in the 1990s after the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the mergers pretty much killed off programming that focused on local and regional tastes or music, killed off the already dying freeform DJ outside of community radio, which stagnated music variety considerably (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/music/perfect...)...)

In the end, what Sinclair is doing is probably going to is not good for their long term business anyways. This mass-scripted thing has drawn quite a bit of negative publicity, for a start. And using the 1990s radio example, well, terrestrial radio is quickly dying due to irrelevance. The "800 lb gorilla" winner of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, Clear Channel (iHeartMedia), recently went bankrupt after all.
That's not true. Those devices are designed on the same ethical grounds you claimed for the phone case. They're only supposed to listen after you invoke them.
Regardless if this is true or not, a phone is millions of times more dangerous for privacy if it's being used to record you and track you.
> Especially here in Germany, were media (and most car enthusiasts) generally wants to see Tesla going bankruptcy asap.

Why?
I was thinking the same thing (I guess) as I read that comment: If one is going to worry about the limited choice of books for the rest of his lifetime, he should simply just read. Similarly, if one is worrying about limited time with their parents, he should simply do it now or schedule his immediate next visit.

If we take in the finiteness of lifetime as a factor, most of our decisions will simply stop making sense. Life should be spent with no clear boundary other than it is finite.
Ksplice @ Oracle | Devops | Remote | https://ksplice.oracle.com

Ksplice is the leading technology that allows administrators to patch the critical components of a Linux system on the fly with zero downtime and zero disruption, and we are looking for experienced DevOps and Systems professionals to join our team.

As a DevOps engineer, you will be responsible for automating the deployment, monitoring, and day-to-day management of Ksplice's infrastructure for building and serving critical security "hot fix" updates for various flavors of the Linux kernel and for user space applications. Our customers depend on us to keep their systems up-to-date and secure, so we would depend on you to make sure our systems stay running and secure.

Ksplice has a rich infrastructure that utilizes virtualization heavily, and we are looking for somebody who can help us take that infrastructure and modernize it. While some day-to-day system administration will be required, this is primarily a development role. As such, strong programming skills and an understanding of how to automate system tasks are required. Ksplice primarily uses Python, so experience with that is preferred, but experience with any similar language to perform system administration automation is acceptable.

The Oracle Ksplice team is a remote team, so you must be comfortable interacting remotely and working autonomously. We are a small team that expects its members to be comfortable with self-directed work. We
won't micro-manage you, but, in return, we expect you to learn your job well enough that you know what is important to work on.

More information about Ksplice is available at https://ksplice.oracle.com/. You can find more information about the position at https://oracle.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=1.... Feel free to contact me directly by email at travis.jensen@oracle.com if you have any further questions. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.
The Economist’s Special Reports are amazing and worth the read!
In what ways is it more correct?
As an employee at an open access publisher, I can't agree that funding the peer review process is the biggest problem. Our surveys of our own reviewers have shown that only a small (<20%) minority of reviewers wish to be paid a fee for their reviews. The majority of referees prefer the current model of crediting volunteer reviewers in a regularly published "acknowledgements" article. I assume the incentive may be that reviewers show these to their tenure committee.

In fact the most common complaint from peer reviewers is about the length of the review period. Because open-access journals have authors as our customers, the market pressure is to provide excellent customer service, and authors prefer publishers who will process their papers quickly. This pressure is passed on to reviewers who must complete reviews much faster than the old norms under Springer.
Upvote for Hollister - wow. Perhaps a bullish hedge on autonomous vehicles making such exurban locations more accessible. Cool.
Rooted phone, no google services, and netflix downloads are just fine.
I think the Phil Donahue case fits just fine with what I said. They didn't have any way to control what he was gonna say other than canceling his show.
Note: if you don't have questions and just want to apply for one of the above roles, please use the provided links rather than emailing me. They will mark you as referred by me, which will give you a small boost.

We also have roles in sales, HR, finance, IT, security, as well as other engineering roles that aren't listed above. If you're interested in one of these other roles, let me know and I can submit your info and get you the same boost.
One must try to find points of view from all "sides", and then apply critical thinking to everything that one reads/hears. Every source is very biased and full of a lot of (mostly, really) shit, but the facts can be discerned if personal biases give way to objective analysis.
Should add that for many tech people the immoetal process often chosen is founding a company. Without a source of meaning like children they often don't have the motivation to grind out the rest of their days as a cog
That's a blanket statement without any evidence.

Its like saying static checking always hurts productivity because you need to be compliant with the compiler. What if complying with regulations reduces costs? Why does it have to necessarily increase them?
The choice of what facts to include and which to omit can result in bias.

This simple ad by The Guardian on perspective shows how news can easily show biases [1].

> Now Steve wants to warn the public about the dangers of LiPo batteries if left on charge for a substantial amount of time.

I've also occasionally heard recommendations from people to not leave devices charging because it may potentially wear out the battery prematurely. This may be a myth. But I always wonder -- why would the charging circuit not moderate the charging and mitigate such risks? Why should I as a user be responsible for providing just the right amount of charging?
Title change required.

Look at the linked page, it says: "United States Patent Application".

The linked doc is an "application". It is not yet a patent. It very likely has not even been looked at from a patent-ability standpoint.
Every time we've said "when video card prices start to drop", we've seen about 3 months of drop, and then the companies come out with some new thing that increases the prices yet again.
How I would build Uber
Intel encourages employees to file all sorts of crappy patents, but I don't see it as a bad or evil practice, but rather as a defensive strategy.
Meaning that they don't really enforce patent usage on others, instead they need to have a trove of own patents as defense against patent trolls.
Germany or Canada.
Or they recognize that for a human and generations of their descendants, 30,000 or 300 years doesn’t change anything for them. Either way it’s longer than the US has been a country for one metric. Both cases require similar solutions, long-term containment, and so both run into the same political inertia fielded by NIMBYism.

To claim otherwise is, as you would have it, lying.

More importantly, both are solved issues from a purely technical standpoint, it’s just that everyone wants someone else to deal with it. As a bonus, we can actually use fission to produce energy, right now. There’s no issue of, “it will be great when...” grid storage is solved along with intermittency for renewables. There’s no, “it will be great when...” fusion is producing energy rather than heavily parasitizing from the grid. There’s no waiting until we’re completely screwed by climate change effects.
