Here in New Zealand, two of our major mobile carriers use Huawei gear. One uses Huawei for the entire mobile network (from UMTS/LTE base stations to the core network) while another is migrating from Alactel-Lucent (which mostly powers their legacy 3G gear and I suspect their core network still) to Huawei (their entire 4G network as well as 3G at some of the new base station sites). The latter carrier apparently pitted Alactel-Lucent and Huawei 4G gear at a difficult rural test site to decide whether they'd go with AL (whose UMTS/3G gear had been fairly unreliable) or try their luck with Huawei. I presume Huawei must have beat out Alactel-Lucent to win the contract to deploy 4G—a decision that has proved to be successful so far. One major landline telco uses Huawei gear. Many RSPs (ISPs) deploy Huawei DSL/Fibre CPE routers—with some getting good reviews for Gigabit Fibre (which many other branded routers struggle with). Many cheap phones sold by the various mobile carriers (either own-brand or Huawei brand) is Huawei.

While I can understand the distrust for Huawei, I can't deny they have done well when given the opportunity to do so. Alactel-Lucent (an US/EU company) in particular dropped the ball when one of our major telco had a major outage and it turned out they had a maintenance contract (so was AL themselves, not the telco responsible for maintenance of the network). Still took Alactel-Lucent's own experts a full week to restore telco services to a big chuck of our country. Severely dented our telcos' trust in US companies and thus encouraged the telcos to try Huawei instead. So far no major outages attributed to Huawai incompetence which has been a good plus so far.

I'm using Sendy to send ~15k emails every day. It works fine with a few hiccups. It stops sending after every few hundred and I have to keep hitting the 'send' button again. I've scripted this so it automatically happens. I'll admit I'm due for an upgrade which may have fixed that bug, but I made some minor modifications to the Sendy code which I just don't want to try to port to an upgrade.

Know that Sendy does a phone home which is just to check if you actually purchased the code. There is also a obfuscated file that I've unwound if you were curious:

Nice! I see what you did there.

It took me a while though:

I was wondering if this statement is self-contradictory or not. Eventually, I figured it is not necessarily self-contradictory, but that it declares itself to be an evil belief (since it is a statement of universal truth that declares that the belief of any universal truth is evil).

Of course I think it’s just incorrect.

For my sake, I believe in truth and good, and that if someone finds a good thing, they should tell others about it in a respectful and loving way.

Broadness is not a bar to patentability, as long as that breadth doesn't read on other claimed art or is obvious. There might be other reasons to invalidate the patent, but that's not one of them.
Slightly incorrect! The offices there vary in size from one person to up to a dozen. A lot of offices in various sections of the ring accommodate 2 persons.

Yes there is a big glass/sliding door but from what I have seen when closing the door it is quite soundproof (unlike some small conference room). And they provide inside each section different zone with huge whiteboard and sofa/chairs to help facilitate brainstorming/discussion, even each area has its own Apple TV to project on a huge screen through AirPlay.

So overall it is quite good from what I was able to see for the few hours I was there. Folks working there like it.

> you can prevent this by setting CAA DNS records on your own domain

Well this is interesting, I already have a CAA DNS record on my root domain, but of course its also set to 'letsencrypt.org' since that is what I use on my root domain. Although I don't guess it matters since its on the root and not the subdomain

Edit: Actually, looks like a CAA record on the root domain will also limit subdomains. So, although I already had a CAA record setup, looks like this new Github feature will work as expected when it rolls out to my account without any changes since I was already using letsencrypt

One thing that also matters, that people tend to neglect, is ceiling height. In general when you need to do focused concentrated work, it’s best to work in a room with a low ceiling, the lower the better. Ideally it’s a ceiling you could almost touch.

If you need to do more creative thinking, it is better to have a high ceiling, the higher the better (think cathedrals), though there must be a ceiling at some point.

France Is Building a WhatsApp Rival Due to Surveillance Risk
I currently work on an Alienware 15 and it is sweet.

Two requirements I had were: (i) NVIDIA 10-series discrete graphics, and (2) 32MB of RAM. I wasn't excited about the 4K display until I saw it, now I am never going back. Also the build quality is great.

Apple backed the wrong horse in the GPU wars a few years back, I think all of their machines still ship with ATI GPUs if the have a discrete GPU. I think for gaming and creative work ATI is OK but if you do neural networks or other heavy calculations software support is not universal for tools like Tensorflow, Torch, etc. as it is for NVIDIA.

Most of the time I would also tell you that you can get a lot more computer for your $ and not be complaining about drivers for your OS or you don't like the ports by getting a desktop machine.

I recently bought a tower machine built from refurb parts, put in 32MB of RAM and a GTX 1050 graphics card (largest that wouldn't need special considerations for power supply) for a machine that I mainly use as a media server but may also want to run some Tensorflow. What I paid for the 1050 card was crazy because the price has been driven up by bitcoiners.

My only bitch about ML on a laptop is that it is not necessarily the kind of thing you want to do on a machine where you close the lid. For instance on evening I closed the lid when the system was uploading a model to a server and the server never got it...

I did a bit of digging after the show, he said that it would be "an explosive issue" or something- but the way he emphasized "explosive" made me think it was a hint- and so it was.

Turns out portobello mushrooms contain a decently large amount of agaritine, which can be made in to hydrazine, which can in turn be used for explosives or rocket fuel. Agaritine is also fairly cancerous/mutagenic to humans.

That's my best bet as to why he wouldn't talk about it, though the threat to his life I would think is more for comic effect.
I think it's less about becoming mastery of tools. I don't think that is what's being advocated, and at least not my interpretation.

In your case, assuming that your field is "web development", this means getting deep mastery in web development. You know which language and framework you want to use in the backend for low traffic websites, and you know what you want to use for high concurrency websites. You know very well the relative strengths of PHP / Laravel and (say) Elixir / Phoenix.

If more on the frontend side of things, you feel comfortable enough to switch between various frameworks with a short learning curve, and you understand _why_ new frameworks and new ideas around how to build webapps are appearing. You also know when to use vanilla-js and when to use react. When to use ES6, TypeScript and Clojurescript

My interpretation of what might be counter-productive to mastery, is to get into webdev today, data science two years from now, distributed systems another 2 years, and then after that desktop applications etc whatever, based on the current trend. A careful judgement call needs to be made carefully when switching domains.

Ultimately every domain is both very wide and very deep, and it's hard enough to get mastery in one, let alone jump into a new field that your peers have already been doing since the beginning of their careers.
Or become an ES6 ninja and use both "const" and "let";).
On a more serious note, it's strange how has "let" became an identifier for mutable data in js, while eg. ML uses it for the opposite if I recall properly.

I've got a cheap Huawei ("Honor"), so far it seems no better or worse than other same price phones. Probably slightly better value than most tbh. It does miracast, which is default in Android since 4.4 I think (?), no idea about USB-OTG or connecting to HDMI.

Meanwhile over the ditch in New Zealand we have no such restriction. I'm not sure if our equivalent to the NBN (the Ultra Fast Broadband [UFB] network) has much Huawei gear but I suspect there will be at least some depending on the LFC (Local Fibre Company). At the least many RSP (ISP) supplied CPE gear is Huawei and their gear at POPs is likely to be Huawei as well. Our wireless NBN equivalent (the Rural Broadband Initiative [RBI]) has one major telco using Huawei for 4G base station gear. I would hazard a guess that at least a third (if not more than half) of all traffic in New Zealand passes over at least one Huawei gear.

You used the work Marketing. The moment it is called Autopilot, the general population will believe it is so.

A thousand disclaimers and alerts will not be remembered 10 days later, but the word Autopilot will stick. People hear auto-pilot and they think airplanes flying 100% autonomously (which of course is not the case).

As long as that name stands, people will be doing stupid and dangerous things like watching Harry Potter, or anything-but-looking-at-the-road.

May be to understand it better consider the blockchain (i.e. how ticks are recorded) vs the actual ticks as they happen in "real life".

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: when the SHA puzzle is solved is the exact point at which the block which is the input to the SHA is mined. I sounds almost "duh - what other time could it be?", but upon some reflection, this is quite remarkable, because a point in time is tied to a block of data.

The rest of it, e.g. what block that block points to as a parent, is secondary and not that interesting.

> To put it simply: if a reputable outlet was caught modifying a video of Trump to put words in his mouth it would be a publication-ending scandal.

Caught how? You could show people the original video, but the reputable outlet and its allies would be pushing the narrative that the so-called "original" video is a deep fake produced and pushed by conspiracy theorists. After all, our outlet would never lie, would they?

I suspect the scandal would be less publication-ending than you think.
Putting personal preference (taste, price, etc.) aside, I'm curious what other reasoning is behind your position of being "all for eating meat" (if any)?

Retail Rivals Amazon and Best Buy Team Up to Sell Smart TVs
I'm no physicist, but it seems the intuitive reason countersteering works is because when you turn, e.g. left, your center of mass also moves left because you need to lean left in order to turn. So if you turn left on your own this will move your center of mass left. And if you turn too sharply left your center of mass will be so far out that you will fall over. So turning right very quickly before turning left means that your center of mass suddenly shifts massively right, and therefore you get some extra time turning left while your center of mass is still busy shifting from right to left?
This is not a patent. It is an application for a patent. The claims may be rejected during the application examination process, for example, if the examiner determines that the claims are obvious in light of the prior art.

The patent seems to be based on defining class solely on the dollar value of last years income, whereas the actual measures of class membership take other forms.

There's nothing wrong or useless about advertising based on W-2 income level; but that won't have greater sociological effects on economic class or whatever.

Of course via the magic of widely shared credit reports, everyone already knows actual class breakdowns based on class differences in personal balance sheets and other measures.

Actually - it's not the rant - it's the superiority complex. The fact that someone thought it would be a good idea to drop filth on another language there and nobody protested says a thing or two about the community.

I was hoping this would be DNS with oblivious transfer, but its just a silly proxy.

If you can snoop on an authoritative dns server then you can probably just snoop on the authoritative odns server and break the scheme with no real cost.

For the odns server to scale it would probably be implemented by the same people implementing dns servers, like ISPs and governments, the same people doing the snooping.

It just looks weak in theory and broken in reality.

I have your same requirements, except I'd probably settle for 16GB of RAM.

And yeah, I know I could get more bang for the buck with a tower machine, but since I'd be using this on the go in university I'd prefer to have a decent laptop before starting. I already have what is now a low-spec tower that I'll probably bring along, but when I had to run some TF for my thesis it handled it well enough, so I'm more interested in investing into a more mobile option to carry with me at all times.

Depends on how you ride. An adult in the US, you're on a road bike bent over the bars and going 15-20mph. Hands on the brakes at all times. I do a ride every summer with 20,000 like-minded people and if you see even one bike with coaster brakes all week its unusual.
