slower replication speed, more difficulty infecting the host, requirement of much greater volume of replication to accomplish the same rate of infection.

think of it this way: every cool feature you add to a living thing has an overhead.

you want your little bacteria to have antibiotic resistance? fine.

but it'll need that much more energy to grow relative to the bacteria which don't have the added burden.

this means that unless there's the selective pressure of antibiotics in the environment, your little antibiotic resistant microbe won't stand a chance -- it's a fraction less efficient under normal conditions, so it's effectively out-competed when in the wild.

as far as massive adaptations like airborne spreading, that's not something that can just mutate overnight. HIV is fragile, so you'd need to engineer an entirely new viral envelope, or, more likely, an entirely new carrier particle that the virus can reconstruct on its own without impacting its infectivity. viruses like the flu have these adaptations by default. but once again, if you decide to turn the flu into HIV, it's going to be at a disadvantage in the wild.

not to say that it is impossible to make virions which are able to out-compete their wild-type cousins when infecting hosts in the real world. far from it. it's just not as easy to make it work as a quick look might find.
I don't think I said it was widespread, or anything to indicate that? I've been on Jobseekers and am likely to be again: yes we should guard against creating a hostile environment and assuming everyone is on the make, but pretending there's no fraud at all is surely not the way.

Are few people dishonest, or are most dishonest people caught.

My concern is if the system encourages moral compromise for survival and what this means for our society as a whole.

Productivity Myths
How to Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life Even If You Feel Hopeless
I don’t think I’ve ever had a job I was qualified for, and to me that’s totally ok. My personal view is that if you can land a job in a week of interviewing, and/or you feel very comfortable/qualified to do your job, then you are probably “punching way below your weight class” and need to reach higher. If you’re not faking your way through at least something then you’re not learning or growing.
And so you want to do business with the company that will pretend hardest that it just doesn't want to get in your wallet?
I have almost no knowledge of patent law, but calling this a troll case seems a bit naive. If it comes down to market confusion, than probably this won't stick, because as mrw34 said - nobody buys a truck for it's look, or at least no serious share of the electric semi truck market I think.

But if the major deciding issue in a patent case is whether or not a feature of a patented product infringes on another feautre of a patented product - then this could very well be serious.

Good job there with your checklist. Unfortunately, for every one of you who does the above checklist before pulling the "schedule meeting" trigger, there are 500 other project managers who's first reaction to everything is: "schedule a meeting".
It was a weak joke concerning the usual complaints about SO and because I thought it was an on-premise offer, not integrated in the main SO site. As said below, there's no flagging in SO Teams.

If you need anonymous voting for decision concerning language/framework, I think you have a big problem: it would mean individuals are afraid of voicing their opinions regarding a technical choice and that's not something that can just be solved with a tool.

Looks promising, but the web site keeps promoting this as "Pure HTML and CSS." But it's actually all run on JS. So, not actually pure HTML and CSS.

The video didn't work on my machine. It goes as far as "How does it work?" and then it's just random dots all over the page.

And the last straw was the pop-up asking me if I want more information when I'd only been on the page for five seconds. How do I know if I want more information if I haven't had a chance to look at the page yet?

Usually I lump these into "yet another JS library to throw on the fire." But this one seems a little different. We'll see.
Tcl has an "easy" threading mode where each thread runs its own interpreter, and a "hold my beer" mode where you can spawn threads within a single interpreter.

Tcl also has synthetic channels, so you can stay in easy mode but open a bi-directional read/write channel with the two ends in separate threads, with readable/writable events assigned, so you can do automatic event-driven information sharing between threads.

I don't know any other language that gives you options like that.

the crazy thing is that's not even the main part of the "viral reservoir."

Hmmm, I disagree.

It's not at all hard to think of at least a few countries whose leadership would happily engage them for this.

They'd be the one's paying money for Facebook to do "targeted dating influenced by specific factors". ie genetics.

Depending upon the verification/validation of results they want, it's probably not an 18 year wait. Initial data would be what... school grades entered into centralised system (guessing)? Higher year level grades, aptitude tests, uni/college (etc) would be follow on ones down the track.

Anyway, the point doesn't seem far fetched at all. And Facebook + medical data would be right there. :/

I'm fascinated about casual dismissal of actual problems justified by the fact that other problems exist.

I'm not panicked by this issue, but I think there's something there. I play cards with a bunch of neurosurgeons - every one of them has professional concerns about cellular and bluetooth usage, and 4/6 expressed those concerns to me individually about my AirPods.

So? Encourage regional independence (to have lots of small countries), and discourage "middle of nowhere" places by not paying from gov money the maintenance and construction of its infrastructure.

Mega-infrastructure monstruosities like highways from Canada to Mexico, or roads and trains from Siberia to Europe, or country wide highways in China are a total waste of resources.

With >50% of work becoming "remote friendly", we'd care less about transport costs going up, and local production could also increase even in less competitive areas.

We keep optimizing for "global productivity" or "global growth" etc. while none of it makes us as individuals happier! Humans are LOCAL in their nature, globalizing stuff beyond a certain point massively decreases quality of life everywhere except a few "hub places".
No. It's a question, right? No.
Without data, your statement is tantamount to discrimination based on marital status which is problematic in the context of a thread regarding employee dismissal.

Off the top of my head, I can think of a number of quite anti-social people (for different values of anti-social) that are married. For example, Joseph James DeAngelo (Golden State Killer) was once married, has adult children, but his anti-social behavior is well documented. [0]

In another example Jennifer Hart and Sarah Hart were married and had many adoptee children. Hardly the stereotype of antisociality. And yet, in their private lives they very likely abused their adoptive children to the point of killing all their children as well as themselves. [1]

Another example is David and Louise Turpin who imprisoned 13 children in their home. [2] In fact, there have been a number of high-profile survivor tales in the last several years of children escaping abusive parents. One news outlet gathers up a number of similar past cases with many of the offenders being married people.

My aim in discussing these cases is neither to provoke nor sustain prurient interest in the antisocial behavior of married people. Nor is my aim to claim that married people are more likely to engage in abusive, antisocial behavior toward children.

My aim is to destabilize your claim that "married men (and women) are universally much less likely to be exhibit anti-social behavior" which claim you make without providing a single shred of proof.

> It doesn't matter if they are a practicing entity or not

Yes it does, the key characteristic of patent "trolling" is that the patent owner is not practicing.

I had heard of Nikola before this, because they have been featured on this site, and in other news outlets catering to EV-enthusiasts.

Many patents seem to me to be dumb, or for completely non-novel, obvious things ("one click ordering", etc), but the patent office granted them, so they are valid.

Agree they probably can't show $2B in damages, and on the fire confusion. But in any lawsuit you start off asking for way more than you'll settle for.
For adding interaction using HTML attributes, I highly suggest intercooler.js: http://intercoolerjs.org/

It's actually more complicated than that- we'd need to know the survival rate for procedures carried out at different discovery times.

If the cancer is basically inoperable, or if there isn't a big difference in outcome based on time of detection, then there wouldn't be an appreciable change in survival rates

>> Free markets are important.

There aren't free markets in a pure sense and it's a good thing:

- Standard oil was broken into exxon, chevron, etc...

- Laws were introduced to prevent railroad barons from owning every industry by forcing fair treatment.

- Electricity producers aren't allowed to sell directly to their customers in many countries. They are forced to sell it to resellers.

>> as long as they don't do anti-competitive things like work together with their competitors to fix prices

That's subjective, What does anti-competitive mean? it could mean making cheaper competing products as a retailer. It could mean refusing to host your product just like it happened to chrome cast. It could be ranking competing products lower.
Their attempt to enter the mobile phone market meeting with pretty spectacular failure is the first example that comes to mind.

Fake it till you make it: the wolves of Instagram
What's with the title "Have we forgotten how to code"? Do you think this library exists to support developers who do not know how to write 'if' statements?

It looks like it provides a genuinely nice abstraction over the `if (cond) throw ...` pattern and gives you consistent, detailed error messages with little effort.
I've actually been thinking about hacking something together for this! I can't stand slack interruptions all day, would love all requests to work with me queued up for certain designated response windows that I control so I can have longer blocks of uninterrupted time.
Old developers. Seasoned developers. Developers who know what they're doing.

Amazon is in an unusual place of both controlling the market and entering the market however. That doesn't really fit with the nice simplistic ideological "Free market" concept. It's hard to see any motivation for them not to game the system if there's no regulation preventing it.

Large companies can troll/abuse their patents against others, too.

I mean just look at the sum they're asking for. $2 billion? Based on what is that value determined? Tesla hasn't even officially launched its trucks yet, nor has Nikola. Due to the ridiculousness of the lawsuit alone I consider this "trolling". Also there is plenty of prior art. That's also one of the main reasons why car companies don't sue each other - it would be very stupid on their part to do so.
Is this really any different than any other store brand? Is there a retailer that doesn't do this?
I created some games for client in this; I liked it quite a bit. Interesting to see if someone picks it up. We encountered only small issues with it which did not really hamper development at the time.
Regardless of whether or not what you say is likely to happen (I think not, but anyways), if humans can even last long enough to see the Sun as a red giant, we'll have larger problems on our hands. In any case, we'll likely have destroyed ourselves or evolved into something else by that time.

Let's not act like using a "probably not in-use IPv4 but we can't really be sure" is a crime against humanity. If you're designing any kind of large scale system over the internet you end up hitting the problem sooner or later (like how some VPN solutions started using 5.x.y.z to be sure not to clash with LAN IPs for instance). The real solution of course would be to switch to IPv6 where any vendor can claim some private address anywhere without any realistic risk of collision but we all know that we're not ready for that yet.

By their own admission CF receives a ridiculous amount of garbage traffic at this IP, it was not absurd for AT&T engineers in the past to thing "well, we need an IP that we can be reasonably sure nobody is going to use and is never going to conflict with anything on any network, 1.1.1.1 seems reasonable". Seeing everybody in this thread jumping into conspiracy theories instead of the much more likely configuration issue is a bit disappointing for a community that's supposed to understand technology.
Wow this is amazing, how have I never heard of this before? Thank you for sharing this.
How on earth is Amazon getting too big for its britches? The company does absolutely nothing but help customers by destroying margins. This idea that Amazon should be avoided is very, very strange.
I wonder about the social impact of the whaling century. We see now see all sorts of antisocial behavior in elephants raised without their pack's 'teaching'- they are more violent, they rape rhinoceroses, etc.

I imagine whales and elephants have similar intelligence, and would have as many 'cultural' forces shaping their behavior.
These arguments aren't convincing me. I still like devit's idea.

> Can't possibly work. Everyone is going to have their own notebook for passwords, protected by rubber band. Yay.

I don't consider this a bad thing per se. A notebook of secure passwords is a lot better than dictionary passwords. (Dictionary in the sense of a leaked password dictionary.)

> Chances are your "reset password" feature will be DDoS-ed into oblivion by your legitimate users.

I had a co-worker who, on most sites, set passwords by mashing the keyboard and then always logged in using the reset password functionality. I also don't see the problem with this.
Altair: Declarative Visualization in Python
So with all that prior art, why were the patents granted? Whose responsibility is it to demonstrate novelty? Does the patent office do research for prior art? Or are producers of similar products supposed to constantly review and monitor patent applications and challenge them?
He means the V in MVC and while they pushed that concept for React at the beginning to help people get what it’s for... it’s not really the same at all.
Off the top of my head:

1) Mobile phones with the Fire phone - don't think this one requires any explanation.

2) Handmade goods with Amazon Handmade - Etsy's doing better than ever.

3) Travel with Destinations - don't think they've even tried to re-enter this market.

I'm sure I could find more, but we tend not to remember a company's failures (unless they're spectacular) as much as successes.

If you follow C++14 core guidelines, the defect described would not have occurred. The bug at its core is usage of unsanitized input data. You don't need to "mandate that every value be a valid instance of its type wherever it is theoretically accessible", however that may differ from simple sane C++14 paradigms.

OPINION ALERT: Honestly guys get over rust, it does not offer a single advantage in real-life programming scenarios.
With water stacking, its not unreasonable to have high interconnect density for two different (highly optimized eg DRAM and FinFET) processes with high yield. I expect it to happen sooner than later. Latency to extremely large caches could be significantly improved. I expect it to happen.

If their balance is showing negative and they try to withdraw money and fail, I think it's fair to say their money is gone in every meaningful sense. Likely they'll get it back sooner or later, but at the moment it's gone.
Going further, I'd expect the number of unidentified/misidentified cases to decrease as information flows more freely alongside the internet's growth since 1995. Today, a doctor can investigate a brain tumor from their phone in ways that were impossible using a top research library in 1995. In particular, the internet is really good at surfacing long tail information, and a rare cancer is by definition out in the long tail. Today, I can go from about zero knowledge about the subject to a remarkable level of awareness the within seconds deciding to add an example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glioma The world today is such that I get that awareness increase while I am typing this comment.

The hammer makes me aware of nails.
Nocoiners seem to pingpong between an attitude of sour grapes and one of schadenfreude, depending on valuations. Perhaps it's a natural reaction to being too risk-averse to invest in something that's been profitable for people one considers intellectual inferiors.

It seems far more reasonable to assess technology this nascent by the quality of teams working on it than anything else. Unfortunately, that's difficult to do in a rigorous fashion.
doesn't it? does this kind of thing depend on exactly whether whatever characteristic was copied/stolen is actually responsible for any of the revenue/purchasing?
The way it is getting along with other frameworks is that makes as little asumptions as possible. So layerJS will only deal with divs that have the attribute "lj-type". The it will only show, animate or hide them. There are a few exceptions to this but that's basically it. So if another framework like vue modifies other elements on the page its free to do so. layerJS actually has a few mutation observers lurking around to see if the dimensions of frames or stages change to adapt the view accordingly. So that means that other frameworks can modify the DOM the way they want and layerJS will adapt. If there may be some hickups in special cases, please let us know so we can fix it.
I wish I had more to comment on, as I'm still reading through the docs, but just a quick note to the website dev.

These are design patents. They can't be bogus if they are sufficiently original. The Tesla design looks pretty damn similar to the Nikola.
Yeah, it's cool! A couple extra tips:

- You can put "PKCS11Provider /usr/lib...." in your .ssh/config file (even tied to a specific Host block) to make it load the module automatically instead of having to use an argument every time you run ssh/sftp/scp/etc.

- For windows, putty-cac works well with the built-in smartcard/crypto API (CAPI), even on machines where you don't have administrative access (like my work machine). It even has its own version of pageant, so it'll work with tools like WinSCP as well.
