I had a huge in-you-face, fixed notification in messenger telling me about new terms, and it asked me about face recognition and I had to answer if they were allowed to look for my face, with no default answer chosen.

I don't think it's so easy to get Thinkpad with stunning screen. X1 models have had more options, but it feels the other lineup is built with corporate bean counter in mind.

There are nice things in some models like 32GB mem, dual swappable battery, built in LTE and warranty with on-site repairs. On the other hand there's no direct replacement for 15" MacBook Pro. No such slim machine with more powerful CPU and 15" great screen.

Pretty much trivial to implement in react.

class Loader extends React.Component {
state = {
Component: null
};

componentWillMount() {
import('./Component').then(Component => {
this.setState({ Component });
});
}

render() {
const { Component } = this.state;
if (!Component) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
} else {
return <Component/>;
};
}
}

Might want to add a few lines of error handling for production use, but that is pretty much all you need.

These article writers miss the mark (IMHO) by comparing Flickr to Facebook and Instagram. Those instant gratification platforms ruin photos by sub-sampling uploads. When I share my photos on Flickr (pro account), they’re available in full resolution.
Yes FB and Insta compete with Flickr for eyeballs, but for real photography sharing, there is no competition there. Flickr wins.
If anything, SmugMug is (was) competing with Flickr.
Absolutely. The only reason why unions typically vote Democrat is because of their support of unions. There is very little overlap across other progressive issues.

"Yes, Amtrak is subsidized. So are all competing forms of transportation. Highways cover only 51 percent of their costs from all user fees, including the gas tax. The rest is paid by subsidies of one form or another, especially from local property taxes. Airlines receive massive subsidies in the form of airports and the air traffic control system. The day after 9/11, the airlines ran to Capitol Hill and were immediately given billions of dollars in additional taxpayer money, no questions asked."

> I tend to view it as a mark of immaturity.

Is it? In my experience people, especially men, get worse when they get older. Especially between 45 and 70 this seems to be strong; they are (always) right and winning the acknowledgement of that being right is more important than anything else. Even if it destroys companies, money, respect for them or people in the process of winning, completely and irrationally ignoring the goal of the discussion/argument.

Still might be immature, but then what is that exactly? I know people from all walks of life who have this issue. Maybe almost no-one grows up?

Isn't this just a restatement of the problem? Or are you saying that those other solutions also exist, they're just in different universes from the one we live in?

> I think it means that RW spacetimes have an implicit choice of gauge in them that we hate to really think about because it is so convenient to foliate them.

Hm. Since the standard foliation is picked out by a symmetry of the solution (the standard foliation is the one in which each spacelike surface is homegeneous and isotropic), I suppose it could be termed an "implicit choice of gauge". But the same gauge choice would be implied by a contracting FRW spacetime, so I don't see how it picks out one direction of time vs. the other.

Paradoxically, emotional growth is held back by one's strengths, not their weaknesses.

Lots of bright students have zero patience and have never learned how to cope with failure. Perhaps typically privileged people, as many men are, don't deal well with things like their growing physical frailty as they age and react to that by refusing to acknowledge any weaknesses in other areas, such as their knowledge base or logic.
> result of the law being found unconstitutional

To explain: this means in many cases the Federal Court of Justice is the last court to which can be appealed. Axel Springer has already declared that they will try to appeal, but this will be difficult. To appeal they have to show that their constitutional rights might have been violated.

Another note: Then there is the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. In exceptional cases this court can be appealed to, for example if a national court's decision has violated a human right. Germany has ratified the European Human Rights and declared that they accept rulings of the European Court of Human Rights. However it is extremely dubious that a company could ever appeal to this court.

(A side note to give an example what this Court decides: A Swiss case has been ruled: A Filipina mother with children in Switzerland divorced from her Swiss father tried to enter Switzerland. The denial was deemed to violate the human right to have a family and Switzerland was ordered to let the woman enter the country.)
Sun Microsystems was started by an IIT grad (Vinod Khosla), and is responsible for the most popular software platform in the world. Without it, we wouldn't have a lot of the software we do today. I mean... I'm really not a fan of Java, but you'd be hard-pressed to deny its impact on computing.

Arguably, Sun Microsystems has had a much larger impact than facebook or google, which are mainly notable for their money making ability rather than their technical prowess. In comparison to Java, Google's attempt at programming languages (Go, for example) are exceptionally pathetic. Coming from someone who thinks Java is awfully engineered, that's really saying something.

Enhance kind of looks like google hype. Essentially it’s a way of dynamic dependency discovery. Rather than explicitly adding imports, you just crawl through a directory convention and discover things to bundle and connect.

I liked the talk, dependency management and code splitting are big problems in large apps, but there was a lot of hand wavy “we at google invented this, so it must be great” reasoning.
"Google Allo was Google's attempt at a WhatsApp clone, and it launched just a year-and-a-half ago with a laundry list of deficiencies."

With the greatest talents working in tandem, I fail to comprehend how they can ever create something that is less than perfect? A great product failing due to market dynamics is one thing, but releasing a half-baked product is something that leaves me bewildered.
I also allowed my Flickr pro-membership to lapse last month, simply because I couldn’t remember the Yahoo login that’d been forced on me a few years ago.
I received a reminder to my normal email address, but when I tried to reset the login, the secondary email was apparently something different and probably another arbitrary Yahoo address that I’d never ever used, so at that point I gave up trying to give them my money.
I’m hoping Flickr will get some serious love now. I echo the calls to make it image-focused and inclusive. I agree with others about getting rid of the stupid, self-appointed ‘awards’ spam, and about speeding-up the site generally. I doubt it needs all of that browser-crashing, CPU-intensive javascript.

Sometimes I wish that severability clauses were not allowed in contracts of adhesion so that lawyers would be forced to only include terms that were actually enforceable or else have the entire contract become invalid. Obviously it wouldn't work very well if even a small mistake made in good faith could invalidate an entire contract, but the problem of companies hoodwinking customers with unenforceable terms has gotten out of hand.
same. I tried connecting with yahoo support a few times and I can even see the public photos of one of my accounts but cannot login or download the originals, and they could not reconcile my yahoo login account with my flickr account.
Mozilla hosts a free location service using Wi-Fi, cell, and Bluetooth network positions collected (opt-in) by Firefox Android users. The cell tower location data is available for download and is also shared with the OpenCellid project. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth location data, unfortunately, is not available for download because it is considered personal data in some jurisdictions.

I helped launch this project back when Mozilla needed an inexpensive location solution for Firefox OS devices. It is still used for testing the Firefox Nightly channel, though the Firefox Release channel uses Google's location service.

So I attempted to find some exam questions. I found the following page: http://cbseacademic.nic.in/SQP_CLASSXII_2017_18_final.html

I took a look at chemistry, english, and CS. I noticed that there were relatively few multiple choice questions compared to American exams. All exams had a written component, and the questions seem thought out. The english test in particular seemed to actually focus on real-life use cases for language (speech writing, ad drafting, and mannerisms), which is arguably more important than what American schools typically spend all their time on (the literary essay or persuasive essay).
Our Plain English development system - unique interface, simple file manager, elegant text editor, hexadecimal dumper, native-code-generating compiler/linker, and wysiwyg page layout facility (for documentation) - 25,000 sentences, is hardly a trivial application. Yet we wrote it, conveniently and efficiently, entirely in Plain English. And the "ambiguity" of the language actually helped.

In Plain English you can, for example, say "Clear the screen" or "Erase the screen" or other similar phrases and still get the same result. So we could type our thoughts the way we happened to be thinking them at the moment, and didn't have to remember (or look up) the exact syntax of the routines we wanted to call.

I am a first-generation American. Growing up, I thought my parents insistence on 'what would your relatives say' was an Indian thing. However, when i married my wife, I realized it's really not. My wife is Canadian / American, and her parents pull the same crap. When we were engaged, we decided to rent an apartment together. We weren't even going to live together, just getting our names on the lease so that when we married, we could live together.

My mother-in-law (who's not even religious, just really into appearance) threw a huge fit, and pulled the same sort of shame stunts that my parents do.

I don't think this is Indian at all, except Indians are more introspective about it.
I wouldn't doubt if Palantir explored this avenue. I'm not saying I support the so-called panopticon, but this is definitely happening at some level. I wouldn't doubt if the disconnect between governments (with tools like Palantir) and people is even larger than that between companies and people.

Ironically, one of the biggest problems Amtrak faces is that it's forced, by Congressional decree, to service unprofitable routes on track time that must be paid to freight carriers.

If Amtrak operated only the Northeast Corridor, and could reinvest in that region instead of having to beg for nickels, the US could have train service in a region that more closely mimics the relative density of Europe. Acela is a step in that direction, but a half-step at best.

You also can't discount the benefits of modal redundancy in transit. Trains don't just carry people around -- they also take drivers off the road. When NJTransit's rail-workers union was agitating for a strike a few years ago, the state DOT advised drivers to expect a few hundred thousand extra trips per day to make up for the service outage.
You're right to be skeptical of any claims in a resume. I've seen an awful lot of resume padding.

>> You must earn respect before you trash the system

True, but in addition to that and I guess more important is to get the mandate to do that from the upper management. Make that mandate a part of your job role. Then whether the team likes it or not, truly respects you or not, an official mandate makes it doable.

The other side is while for very practical reasons teams create all kinds of debt to move forward, we also tend to settle into a working mode using the adage of don't fix if not broken, which can be very expensive if you need to scale or pivot, and this just does not apply to start ups. Most big companies that sink I think is because they have created all sorts of invisible debts and there are people who might have fixed it, but their passion not backed by a mandate never lets it get fixed!
