No, established enterprises (both private and government) are, in the real world, important customers for cloud offerings like Azure, GCP, and AWS.
Isn't this pretty much the case for all corporate media? The narrative is set from the top down, and if anyone strays too far outside the Overton Window, they're punished. Example: Phil Donahue getting fired from MSNBC for speaking against the war in Iraq.

I'm not an economist or an American but from my POV I find the first round of sanctions seems to be very interesting (and may I say) well thought. In this round focusing on agricultural products seems to hit those voters - where I assume - that are mostly Trump voters. I find this very ironic to say the least.

Reminds me of the more strategical thinking of possible EU sanctions targeting products that are important for certain high profile republicans and their states.
Do you mean to imply that religious faith offers a way out of addiction or that (for example) the Book of Job is really really interesting?

Well, I've never seen anyone write a proof for a function so trivial. Instead, most people will simply deem the proof to be sufficiently obvious they don't need to write one out. I've only ever seen someone offer something in terms of a proof for more complex situation where its decidely non-intuitive that array indexes will not go out of bounds.

It was wrong. None of those apps have been replaced. I use them every day and switched to Windows 3 years ago. I was stubborn and should have done it sooner. Maybe MS saw Apple abandoning the pro hardware market and was trying to play along “because Apple”.

Ouch. Maybe more people fall for the ultra-premium than I thought. The total cost of our mom-and-pop mattress store 'big name' mattress was half that difference you cite. I think I'd have a hard time spending way more than we spent and just HOPING I like the way it feels when it arrives.

I can definitely see the value of the ability for customers to actually REVIEW the options, though.
I think you are being unclear here. I took your remark on abstinence to be a reference to abstinence only sex education, as I think most readers did. If you are asking how we can help teens with a nicotine addiction to break it then there are a variety of ways that have been shown to work in helping someone break addiction, so schools, parents, and healthcare providers can support those.

Elizabeth Warren is not an economist and her opinion on the economics of tariffs is fundamentally flawed.

Why do people trust a lawyer's opinions when they so clearly don't understand the underlying principles?

Please get a book on tariffs and their history and read it. Please. Literally any of them.
They wouldn't so much be "at standby" as "in orbit". To enable them to intercept an object, they'd have to burn hard with a lot of fuel, which means we'd have place them in orbit with a lot of fuel.

It would be more efficient to keep a rocket on standby on Earth ready to launch, since any orbital momentum we give them after launch that is not perfectly in line with their target would have to be canceled.

Tip: when X hangs, press Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2 to switch to console mode, then Ctrl-Alt-F7 (or F8 on some distros) to go back to X. While in terminal mode you can investigate which process is reponsible for the X issue (high CPU? memory? disk I/O?) If that does not fix it, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will kill X and every X application and you won't have to reboot.
@werber mentioned it in his comment as well, and I agree that the list is oddly specific, because it's solely based on me (with very little regard to whether something is legal or not). I personally do not want to assist in causing harm to any children, nor any religious terrorist groups.

Also, when you say "exploitation of anyone" or "any terrorists", I think it becomes far too broad, especially terrorism: Osama Bin Laden, a fallen idol, was once an "Anti-Soviet warrior (who) puts his army on the road to peace".[0]

Not that I support any terrorist activity, but I wouldn't like to snitch[1] on people based on whims of statesmen.

Interns don’t do maintenance work in general. They build new stuff, often flashy new stuff that never ships [1], because the intern program is about evaluating potential hires and giving them a great experience so they want to come back. Giving interns tedious unrecognized maintenance work is a great way to convince them to go elsewhere.

[1] The goal is still to build features that ship, but because they get new, shiny stuff, sometimes it’s speculative development and the winds shift before it goes out the door.
Yeah, that makes sense.I think this affect was taken to the extreme with the environment of the Vietnam war vs. civilian life in America.

That's only true if you're trying to do complex analysis on the device. Cell phones in the early 1990s had even less computing power, but it was enough to encode speech down to 13.2 kbit/s[1] (or 5.6 kbit/s[2]). A simple noise gate[3] would reduce recording duty cycle down to maybe 1% while costing a trivial amount of CPU load.

Modern hardware - even tiny embedded devices - can probably do a lot more than simple gat4ed+compressed audio.

Petuum | Software Engineer, Data Scientist | Pittsburgh, PA | ONSITE, VISA | http://www.petuum.com/careers.html

Petuum is building a platform for easily running distributed machine learning.
The company was spun out of a Carnegie Mellon research group about two years ago, and we have raised $108 million through Series A + B funding to support our rapid growth.

The Petuum development platform and gallery of AI building blocks work with any programming language and any type of data, allowing managers and analysts to quickly build AI applications without any coding, while engineers and data scientists can further enhance applications as needed.

What we look for: Competent engineering acumen. Additionally,

* Front-end: Production-level experience with Typescript, Angular or D3 is a plus.

* Back-end: Production-level experience with any of C/C++, Go, Python, CUDA, and Kubernetes is a plus

* Data science: We look for at least an MS in data science or a related-field. Industry experience with building and deploying production-level TensorFlow/Caffe/DyNet/PyTorch models is a plus.

We are hiring for our Pittsburgh and Sunnyvale offices.
I have a nice laptop, with a 3k display. I plug it to a normal screen, with a 1080p display. What happens? Well, it works but it looks like ass. Wanna fix it? Sure, just google around for 2 hours until you find a complicated xrandr command that you have to run every time on startup (but the OS will break every time you unplug the screen). Also, high DPI support is still garbage, which means that half the apps will have their text looking too small anyway.

So no, I don't consider it an "edge case" if everyone in the office with a Linux laptop has the same problem

Tesla rebuked by death crash investigators
My general approach is to divide a project into modules which hold their data in global tables (typically a handful of dynamically allocated arrays). The data's lifetime is managed by that module and that module only. Most of the data never needs to be exposed to other modules, and most of the functionality related to that data is encapsulated in the module.

Other modules use integer handles to access data. They might convert the integer handle to a pointer and iterate over the data with the help of the module, but these pointers are not stored. The module's interface has very clear and simple rules which commands from its API invalidate those pointers (because they might trigger reallocation). But of course only few commands do invalidate pointers, and they are typically not interleaved with the other commands. And typically getting pointers is not even needed, because the relevant functionality is implemented in the module that owns the data.

There are generally no pointers inside the data (perhaps a few const char pointers to static or quasi-static data) and most intra-module links are realized using integer indexes, just like it's done in relational databases.

So in a way that is actually "object-oriented", but not in the usual sense of creating a million instances of some class that are linked in a complicated way. Every module is a kind of object. So the number of these objects is typically static. All the linking between these objects is simply done by: the linker :-)

Would you consider not reviewing for Elsevier anymore, given their practices?
Please check into 'reproducible builds' and ways to ensure the software is not modified between the point where you build it and the point where it gets deployed. There will most likely at some point be an attempt to use your reputation to achieve the exact opposite of your stated goals so beware of that.
Thank you for the correction. Unfortunately I can't edit my original comment to highlight that anymore. I've certainly always rented whilst having primary coverage from my normal auto insurance and so the distinction wasn't especially important for me. That said (and again, I was incorrect in my first post), some/many credit cards /do/ offer primary insurance coverage for rentals, and anyone renting a car should definitely take the time to check before getting to the rental counter!
They also allow for websites to look HTTPs-enabled, but the transfer happens in clear text, e.g.:

Client -(HTTPS)> CloudFlare -(HTTP)> Server.

For a company that allegedly is privacy first, this is a huge violation of trust.

I also know about some people that run websites that can't get Stripe because they can't figure out how to configure SSL for their website, they just plug in CloudFlare in front, and now they can communicate with Stripe, and everything is received in cleartext following the diagram i posted.

Cloudflare calls this "Flexible SSL", and it is described here: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170416-W...

I have flagged this for both Cloudflare and Stripe, but none seems to care.

> It's hard to make the pie as large as possible when your second largest trade partner isn't playing fair.

Hey! Stop blaming other countries because your domestic system is so fucked up. That your politicians passed a 1.5 trillion dollar tax cut which will benefit mostly the wealthy, instead of increasing taxes and using them to fund education, healthcare and other social programs. There seems more than enough pie to keep everyone happy, but some Americans seem hell bent on keeping the benefits of a wealthy society away from the neediest of you.

> China has weird rules that restrict foreign companies from doing business there, which is a defacto tariff on all US corporations who want to sell to China. There's a lot of other industry-specific ways in which China is not playing fair. Of course American corporations want to manufacture in China to avoid paying for an American standard of living. And I get that poor countries are going to have lower wages. But these people are working in factories where suicide nets are necessary. We can pressure them to do better. Then of course there's environmental concerns which we're increasingly aware are an international problem, not an localized one.

This is a straw man argument, please don't rationalize these tariffs as something that were meant to do anything but to right an imagined wrong in the mind of an Insane POTUS who thinks the trade deficit is an indication that other countries are "cheating" the US.
Amazon resisted a warrant from a prosecutor seeking all Alexa recordings from a house that was the site of murder. Trial in Arkansas I believe.

I don't think it ever went anywhere precedent setting however because the defendant eventually gave permission to Amazon to turn it over.

If that's true, yes, Windows Server has been irrelevant for some time. It wouldn't explain the remapping of Office, though.

SEEKING WORK -- Jacksonville, FL -- remote/freelance

I am an experienced Python developer, having used the language in all kinds of areas and situations, including web development (Flask, Django, Pylons, Google App Engine, etc), GUI development, database access (using MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres), scripting, backend development, automated testing, web crawling/scraping, data extraction and parsing/ETL, etc.

I am looking for full-time or part-time work, either one is fine. If you are looking to get a small project done, or you have an existing project where some maintenance work needs to be done on a regular basis, then I would love to hear from you.

I am also available for technical writing (I kept a programming blog for many years, mostly about Python).

(For the record: Although Python is my main programming language, I am also interested in, and have worked with, many other programming languages, including C, D, Delphi, Go, C#/Mono, Ruby, OCaml, Prolog, Lisp, Scheme, etc, on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. I am also available to work on projects in these languages.)

I foresee liability problems for them when their fridge notifies customers of having expired goods in their fridge without actually blocking access to those goods. They either have to forego on these notifications altogether and become a common cooler or they have to take steps to block access to expired goods. Once they implement blocking functionality they could have their affiliates in the health insurance industries offer reduced premiums (or non-raised premiums after devices like these have become mandated by law) in return for allowing the insurer to order product-blocks to their customers. This scheme could be expanded even further by selling temporary unblocking licenses for parties or other festive occasions.

I see a bright future ahead of me, a brave new world is coming into being.

> I don't know what benefits reviewers receive

As a reviewer, you get to read relevant new research in your field several months before it gets published. This doesn't work in physics and maths, thought, where the whole field has the habit of pre-publishing manuscripts in arXiv, so everyone gets to read everything before it's published.
