>Can they make 500 million people not look at cat-videos for 2 months?

We can pretend YouTube is just a twee place to watch cat videos like it was 12 years ago or we can actually realise that the network has evolved over time and people actually go there now to watch personalities not just funny home videos.

I feel YouTube creators might be surprised with just how much power they wield if they did move to another platform en masse.

> remind me what's wrong with working with the Americans again?

Make that American companies and the problem, from an academic perspective, is that they recruit away students and researchers from academia. That works for a few years, but longer term, the argument goes, it depletes academia to the point that new talent can no longer be trained... by academia.

At that point, the companies wishing to keep recruiting will create their own training facilities and/or step up collaboration with academic institutions. That's where the American part comes in: if the existing talent has all gone to the US and those making the decisions have been there all along, they are likely to focus their training efforts on the US.

On top of that, you have the well-publicized problems with data collection by foreign entities and local tax avoidance, which are indeed political.

Apple Watch being tied to specific carriers has more to do with the feature set required by Apple (primarily, sharing the same MSISDN between the iPhone and the Watch) than anything directly related to the eSIM.

I would imagine that they (Apple) simply had no appetite for dealing with the user experience corner cases of your Watch having a completely separate identity.

There is precedent for this being relaxed over time and in future revisions of the Watch. For example, Visual Voicemail used to be a requirement for iPhone carriers. Today, no such requirements exist.
Why would you package it in Electron? AFAIK, webassembly is mainly intended to be run on the web, in the browser. The main goal being you don't need to install anything.

Building a native app to wasm to package it into Electron sounds really weird to me. OK there's a security benefit thanks to sandboxing, but using Electron as a sandbox is really a strange idea.

And when it comes to portability, if you build you native app to webassembly, it can run anywhere. But if you add Electron to the mix, you need to build a different version for each platform, which destroy the portability benefit. If your app can be built on wasm, it can probably be compiled for different platform already. Adding Electron to the mix doesn't change any of that.

Turbo Pascal had more tricks, it could compile to memory (at least in version 5, if memory serves well). Mind you, not a RAM disk, it could compile and run a MSDOS .COM file from memory itself. Following the filenames during compilation was difficult, as they passed so fast (20Mhz 386sx with 2MB).

The compilers and IDEs from that era were truly pieces of art. I also remember TopSpeed Modula-2 that also included its own task scheduler for real time DOS (using clock interrupts, I guess).

It doesn't work this easy way. Many people are unviable outside the womb due to illness, trauma or age-related troubles, and yet they are considered humans, anyway. More to that, many (probably, majority) countries have laws punishing for refusing aid to such humans.

Life as an entrepreneur can be a tough and lonely ride
Hi guys,

Life as an entrepreneur can be a tough and lonely ride. I've experienced it first-hand for almost a decade, now.

As many of you know, your friendships will be critical when you're stuck in the mud or have to kill your startup. For about half of my entrepreneurial career, I haven't had a good friend group, and it really took a toll on my health and happiness.

So I decided never to go through it again, so I built an app that matches you to the most compatible people nearby for the purposes of friendship. For two years, I've been working on the compatibility algorithm and I'm super proud of the result.

Your support would be awesome, but it would make me even happier to know that you met some amazing people on We3.

This seems interesting, but I feel like it would be way more useful if you could drag to rotate however you want, instead of waiting for the animation to get sort of close to the viewpoint you're interested in. It would also be good if the image wasn't covered by a big play button when paused - it's not really possible to pause it to look at things or adjust numbers.

I really like the visual representation of elementary row operations, but the intersection of the three planes is off their edges, so isn't actually shown. Also, "any vector multiplied by the three standard basis vectors in matrix form, i, j, k" uses a really complicated strange way to say "identity matrix" - you're not actually talking about multiplying by the standard basis vectors.

I found a bug (Chrome 65.0.3325.181, Windows): The scroll position is kept when you switch sections, so you have to manually scroll up to the top.
If I had to implement a compiler or a database, I'd definitely pick a language with a powerful and strict type system like Swift. It's fantastic when the compiler can prevent large classes of errors. I mean, even trivial concepts like an Array<Point2D> are frustrating to express in Objective-C (wrapping C structs with NSValue? Ugh).

But that's not how iOS development works in my experience (YMMV). Most of the logic lives either in the backend or in C/C++ libraries, and Objective-C is just the glue between that and UI frameworks. When this glue layer gets complicated, it's usually because of animations, AutoLayout, UIKit bugs, or workarounds around performance issues. But all of these are issues with the frameworks, not with the programming language.

Objective-C is effectively a domain-specific language for Cocoa. Swift aims to be the next big general-purpose programming language, but it's still only being used for Cocoa. I think this is fundamentally the wrong direction.
It's rare I have to disable ublock, but that helped me.

The CockroachDB documentation says their SQL implementation is layered on top of their K/V interface: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/architecture/overv...

This would make it similar to TiDB/TiKV and FoundationDB.

"Why disclose this at all? Why not hold onto this in order to increase the number of affected Switch consoles?

Unfortunately, this bug affects a significant number of Tegra devices beyond the Switch, and beyond even the X1 included in the Switch. I can tell you, it wasn't fun to find a bug with such a broad impact; it significantly complicated the ethics involved.

In the end, given the potential for a lot of bad to be done by any parties who independently discover these vulnerabilities, I thought it best to disclose this immediately and under terms that ensured that the vulnerability reached the public quickly."

At the end of the day Tegra is used in a lot of places. Even cars.
If there's a risk that someone could conduct a crime through through a firmware hack then that presents an ethical dilemma.

10 years ago there were few portables that you could run your own code on. Now there's things like the GPD Win.

All this homebrew stuff is a bit of fun and games at the end of the day. Calling someone a traitor because they decided to responsibly disclose a vulnerability is just childish.
How did you come to the conclusion that UBI doesn't work? I've yet to see any experiment supporting either view.

I'm curious what you think 'the root cause' is. Because I don't think - whatever the root cause - that forcing people to dig holes and then fill them up again is going to help anyone. Because that's what a job guarantee will be in the long run as we progress towards more and more automation.
Tibet was not part of China for many centuries. It was an independent country before it was Annexed by China in 1951. There has never been any freedom given by China to Tibet. Contrast it with India's liberation of Bangladesh from attrocities of Pakistan. India did not annex Bangladesh when it had all the strength and opportunity to do so.

Chinese influence in India is actually diminishing on the ground. People in India are more aware now than ever before. People here prefer to buy products either made in India or some other country and not from China. Things are changing rapidly on the ground which will take a few years for it to be visible to China. India cannot have the huge trade deficit it has with China right now. To top it, China's persistent support to Pakistan backed terrorism is going down in bad taste with Indian citizens.

Modi is not having an official summit with Xi. This is an unofficial summit over Doklam and other pressing issues. I don't see any positive outcome from this as both parties involved will not be willing to shift from their positions.

Xi wants to consolidate power. Not just within but also by annexing other territories, oceans and islands. This also includes involvement in the power tussle currently underway in Maldives. This is a big gamble because it may end up pushing those countries that weren't allies of China but still had trade to reconsider China as a decent trade partner. Look at the US tariffs imposed on China. Other countries will take the cue once they realise China isn't as powerful as it portrays. It all boils down to if China can be a responsible superpower. Currently, it has everything going for it except that one point. Future will tell if Xi's gamble of alienating trade partners who weren't allies a good move or a bad one.

Yeah but I also believe it's important for beginners to learn by doing, even if it means doing wrong. There is no universal "good way" of doing software anyway and best practices and patterns can be harmful too.

Take java spring or ruby on rails for example, those are opinionated ways of doing SW but they are also big pile of complexity and sometimes you really need just read a file, transform it a little and output the result. I think those awkward examples and hacks are valuable too because you get involved in internals and you know then how the entire thing works under the hood.
I ought to start writing scientific papers. I back-of-envelope calculated much the same conclusion years ago — only for the static case, but it was back-of-envelope work.
Well, it is a fact that it doesn't work. I'm not making this up. The whole industry knows it doesn't work.

This type of advertising has a name of its own: "native advertising". Companies like Buzzfeed, etc. made a lot of money in the beginning by taking advantage of this new format, essentially tricking readers into thinking that these are actual real content.

However it doesn't work as well as it used to because people have pretty much figured out what a native ad looks like.

However podcasts are single threaded, meaning if you're listening to a podcast and an ad starts playing, you could skip it but most people just keep it on as long as it's not too long. Basically it's a pushed advertising. But this is completely different when it comes to textual content because visual content is easily ignorable AND blockable.

Plus, even if you don't block or ignore it, you still only glance at the banner ad, which is completely different from the level of advertising done by podcasters.

There are tons more reasons why podcasts and textual media are completely different beasts, but the gist is, content industry is not as simple as it looks. Every ad format has a different value from one another, and also it depends on how focused the audience is, etc.

6 things you must do to build an ideal work environment
As someone living in a European country with several languages and internal political problems related to them, i can say that in my opinion this wont happen for a very long time and im not even sure its needed. Kids in these multi language countries are already growing up with english as a second or third language. They are growing up on the internet and are used to reading stuff in english, so the need to standardize on a language, in my opinion, is not even needed. In a generation or 2 the majority of people will speak it anyway.

You make it sound like a zero sum game. If academics are being hired into industry, that frees up grant money to be spent on other areas where they aren't recruiting so aggressively. It doesn't actually 'deplete' academia except in the short run, unless the supply of students who want to do research becomes fully tapped out.

Also, people who are trained already can always go into academia or return to Europe. These movements aren't permanent by nature.

The context is that Buckley was criticized for shallow comics, so he dropped Loss.jpg as a bomb on his detractors, who turned it into a meme.

From the article:

> The last strip to mention Lilah’s pregnancy prior to “Loss” had been published 10 installments and nearly a month prior, and readers found the sudden attempt at gravity hilarious. So they did what the internet does: turned “Loss” — again, a comic strip about miscarriage — into a running joke
> It’s not prejudice or signaling, it’s objectively deficient in ways that haven’t been acceptable in decades.

I don't want to start a useless debate or anything like that, so don't take this in the wrong way, but I am genuinely curious of what specific problems you see in PHP and what are the specific issues with the language.

I can't think of many things that are so bad with it, except the inconsistency in function naming and parameter orders (stuff like `str_pos`, `substr`) and a relatively unreliable SoapClient implementation; I am genuinely interested in seeing what other people think are deficiencies in PHP.

Again, I have to stress I am not being defensive nor offensive, I am just curious on other perspectives in regards to the shortcomings of PHP.

That's not part of the new design.

You're probably used to seeing a maximized Chrome windows, which don't have that space.

The space is present in free-floating windows to provide space for the mouse to grab and move it around (because grabbing on a tab would split the tab out into a new window).

At least, this is how it works in Windows, and (iirc) quite a few *nix window managers. Can't say for sure; I'm currently on i3 with window decorations disabled and my floating windows don't have it (and I can drag using any part of a floating window with alt+drag). Don't know how OSX behaves.
You don't keep the backup forever. GDPR forces you to reasonable measures for deletion.

You could also keep a record of "to-delete" primary keys in event of a restore along with your backups.

All of this should have been implemented a long time ago, some European countries demanded this already.

I am surprised by the lack of imagination of people if they don't want to implement something (too burdensome, technically impossible,...) who can come up with decent solutions if it fits them.

A little anecdote for this: Recently I wanted to buy some insurance. The insurance company demanded wide leeway in handling personal data which by law (in Germany) has to be opt-in. I returned the paperwork, explicitly stating that I do not consent to use of the data beyond what is strictly necessary for the contract. I was told that contract can be made only with consent and that I could revoke consent later (the latter is mandated by law. What a bull-shit show. I am looking forward to GDPR coming into effect to give these businesses a middle-finger.

Some do, some don't. But if you want to use Alexa or Google Home or Siri to control you do need an internet connection to do the voice translate to command bit.

Personally I've gone with SmartThings (Samsung) to control the home tech and use Amazon as the voice interface. This allows me to be reasonably agnostic of vendor and interfacing standards (ZWave/Zigbee/Wifi), allows me to use a scripting language to control some aspects of automation (using Webcore app) and still use Amazon to issue voice commands to the same devices.
