It is a valid analogy, because it confronts reality: there are a huge number of persons with economic incentives to commit immoral or illegal acts, and the state doesn't have the capability to intervene in a majority of cases.

I mean, hell, look at SOX. Look at the various anti-money laundering requirements that banks are subject to. The de jure approach here in the world today is to force the corporation to police its own staff and customers.

As a joke I might make a popup for each URL in our ads.txt files (at work) asking for consent. There are over 300 lines which I've always thought was ridiculous but maybe this will drive the point home to my boss.
Correct. It's Gear VR space - I guess the objective is to have a device that sits between the high end (Rift/Vive) space, and the low end (Gear/Cardboard) space.

That said, I can't see high end users adopting downwards - and for low end users, it's not much of a step upwards (still no positional tracking, which is kinda a watershed point for VR experiences), and is an additional device, when they can accomplish largely the same thing with a cellphone and gear VR setup.

I suppose that leaves new adopters as the market, but with a lower entry point than Rift - but it's going to be a watered down experience and could undermine their high end sales too.

Honestly, I'm not sure I understand what the strategy is here.
> They are under no obligation to give out something for free just because others think they should

In the same vein, they are under no obligation to _not_ give it away from free. Their actions are purely a choice, free from obligation. That said, lack of obligation does not act as a shield from criticism. Quite the opposite.
Someone who recognizes the opportunity to develop tech centers between the coasts is going to cash in big. Zappos and Tesla seem to have had their fingers on that pulse by settling in the Reno/Sparks area.

In this case, it will actually just work. People have been using USB audio DAC's since at least 2002. Unless you're using something aimed at professional musicians with a lot of inputs and outputs, it's just plug and play with class compliant drivers. Linux, MacOS, Windows, Android, and iOS all just work.

Obviously, until Apple switches to USB C, we will have separate USB C and lightning cables. That's inconvenient.

The argument for removal is that it's redundant. The USB or lightning port can transmit audio, so remove the 3.5mm and suddenly you have more space inside the phone to put stuff and it's probably slightly cheaper/easier to water proof.

edit: I feel compelled to mention that 3.5mm has issues as well. Cheap 3.5mm cables are often slightly too large or slightly too small which cause contact issues and wear on the port over time. Dirt/fuzz get pushed down into the port sometimes. Scratches or dirt can make the connection bad and cause noise when moving the plug. For a while we didn't have a standard TRRS configuration but I think we figured that one out now, for the most part. You can actually buy a 3.5mm TS cable which is missing a channel on the normal TRS or TRRS and therefore will not work, while looking almost identical to the correct cable.
Ha.

I love Shopify and Shopify Plus, have worked with their team very closely on many large re-platform projects and I have to say for B2B it is getting there, very slowly, but still miles away from being B2B enterprise-ready without a significant amount of custom build work, hacks, apps and workarounds.

There are so many issues with Shopify Plus for B2B use cases that it's hard to recommend unless the store is very simplistic.

we are at record low growth rates for "peaking" in the development cycle.

The problem is (1) we haven't built that much since 2008 anywhere, so any change seems like its a flood (2) most growth pre 2008 was greenfield SFH development, most growth happening now is in established communities
No comments yet on how this is almost exactly the Google Daydream viewer with a builtin phone?
I agree. I got fairly close to finishing but was disillusioned by a few teachers and students who clearly weren't there for the right reason. I had a graduate professor that specifically forbid us to work in groups on problem sets. When I would only make it half way after days of work, my professor would ask what is wrong with me and why im not completing work. When I mention I saw the rest of the class working together he said if you can't solve it thats what I should have done. So break the rules he set to do better? It just made no sense.

That and people splitting assignments up and then bringing together each persons contribution and copying it. It was done far more often than not, and in the open right down the hall from a teachers office hours. I decided it really wasn't an environment I wanted to be in and just moved on.

Statistics don't enter into it. Whether something is morally wrong or right is intrinsic to the act itself, not based on what other people are doing. If everyone in the world starts stealing from stores, that doesn't mean it is OK for you to start stealing as well.
Would people who avoid facebook because of privacy concerns use any dating sites at all? I guess there must be some who recently #deletedfacebook, but somehow I perceive that more as a fashion statement than as actual privacy concerns.

What will certainly give facebook a hard time in that market is the rule of isolation that people with moderate privacy concerns instinctively apply: you can't avoid creating a data trail if you want to do online dating, you can't avoid creating a data trail if you want to do friend feed social media, but if you can keep those data trails from merging you will gladly do whatever it takes.

It's the same thing that killed google+: if I have a choice between a friend feed site that also has all my web search history and a friend feed site that doesn't, it's absolutely clear which one is the lesser evil. For similar reasons I would not want to use a social network or a search engine operated by my desktop OS supplier (quitting this argument right here, before I convince myself to defect to iphone - guess I'm a bit inconsequential after all)

Very few movies made today, or in the past, are original.

And it's not just remakes of movies. If you look at the last century, probably 90% of the hit films were actually adaptations of books.

But it's not unique to Hollywood. At one time the same could be said of plays. Though these days, a lot of movies are being transformed into plays instead of books.

I do not want that. I agree people should not work just for work. What I want is to see an engaged employee. If they have lets say 40% additional bandwidth, would you be fine with that time being completely free? Or would you want an employee to signal to you the ability to take on a new project of their choosing or let me know they have additional bandwidth?
SEEKING WORK | Spain | Remote only

I am Alvaro and have been full-time working as a programmer for over the last 8 years. I am mostly experienced in the algorithm, data-structure, efficiency side of things. Basically, making sure that the given piece of software works exactly as expected regardless of anything else.

In general, I am quite flexible with most of the technical aspects like programming language or environment. I have mostly participated in desktop- (Windows & Linux) and web-based implementations, and relied on C#/VB.NET, VBA, PHP, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, C/C++.

I am mainly interested in finding objective people concerned about quality and, ideally, looking for long-term commitments. Working on projects of any size with small, highly technical companies/teams seems the ideal scenario. No problem in dealing with non-technical people for as long as fairness and clear/honest communication are present. Flexible/reasonable/adaptable conditions are much more appealing to me than making lots of money.

Sure. But are any of those businesses really doing well these days? For the longest time facebook told businesses that advertised heavily on their platform that they had no intention of getting deep into verticals, that instead those businesses should build on top of the facebook "infrastructure". And for a while it was relatively true; now all the gloves are off. If you're growing and profitable, and working with consumers, facebook will be coming for you.

One way of thinking about why this won't happen is that most landlords charge the highest rent they think they can get. They don't just think, "I'll set the rent at my costs and a little profit. I'm not interested in making even more money." Some smaller owners might have personal relationships with their renters and not charge market rates, but I think more and more these days those landlords are rare. Maybe landlords will be able to up the rents because the reduction of other taxes will give people who pay rents more money, but that would be a small secondary effect I would guess.
Here’s one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray-1

They didn’t call it a GPU then, but the SIMD architecture is quite similar at a high level.

Larrabee was going to be a GPU-like CPU. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrabee_(microarchitecture)

Here’s a more modern GPU based computer: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/self-driving-cars/drive-platfor...

If you meant something that sits on your desktop and runs Linux, then yeah it’s uncommon but not unheard of to run it on a SIMD system. The trend is absolutely definitely going toward SIMD being used in general purpose computing. Even if you don’t want to count any of my examples, you will see the “normal” PC become more GPU-like in the future than it is today.

Did you read the quote? It is about what other people say to the worker.

I feel like you did not read my comment, because your next sentence is

My whole post addressed that from beginning to end. Sometimes I have no words when I read replies to my comments. It feels... so futile to try to have a reasonable discussion when people completely ignore anything I say (write).

because one thing is definitely true: This is not a law of nature. You can have a society where every Sunday a baby is thrown into a volcano (reference to somewhat similar recent headline from a finding in Peru, only 550 years or so ago, of children with their hearts cut out). The universe could not care less. It is completely up to what you/we want.

> based on the assumption that legitimate users have no practical need to do multiple encoding of the same text.

Things can legitimately be encoded multiple times because encapsulation is a thing and multiple independent stages may each be configured to accept possibly binary input and produce base64 output.

You also don't need to re-encode something an unreasonable number of times to get "Vm0wd", all you have to do is start with "Vm0" and base64 encode it twice. "Vm0" only has 24 bits of entropy which means it will regularly occur at random in legitimate data.

And then nobody can figure out why "Vm0-Edge-West" isn't working.

Sure, but would you be willing to pay $25/year? That's about how much Facebook's ARPU (average revenue per user) is in the US right now.
Passive USB-C to 3.5mm are the problem and should be avoided, in my opinion.

A USB-C to 3.5mm with a DAC inside can be used in any USB C port. A passive adapter will only work in some USB C ports. I don't expect USB C ports on laptops will ever have a DAC behind them.
I regularly use Reedy through PhoneCast (Samsung GearVR) to read epubs, and the RSVP works good as well. Reading goes almost as well as on my e-ink e-reader with the advantage that I don't have to hold the reader. The resolution on the GearVR is slightly higher then on the Rift, and that pays of while reading. The GearVR is quite heavy though, so I don't want to wear it for more then 30 minutes.
The sentence should be rendered as: "Your Facebook won't be as good [for us] while it relearns your preferences."
Yes possible, but is it really "what most people wanted." as OP said? I've never heard this from anyone.
The people who seem to not believe this are the people pushing for grade inflation, no? Grade inflation is all about making everyone who isn't top 10% have a prettier resume.
I like you feigned exasperation at the simplicity of it all and then immediately noticed one of many many complicating factors.
Events & groups were in Facebook since before it went mainstream. They're a core component, not a new vertical.

The marketplace features Facebook added to groups are a light support for how people were using groups anyway.

Dating site like features on Facebook, besides just sending messages, were always apps.
The students lied to their professor, he just sold them the text so I don't see any wrong doing on his part.

Can you justify why it would be bad to ghostwrite ?
He did not say that an alternative would be more profitable.

What he meant is that right now, because targeted ads exist, non-targeted ads sell far worse. Once targeted ads are not an option anymore, non-targeted ads will get more attention again, because the demand for advertising will not go away.

There will be somewhat of a drop in demand, because advertising might be less effective, so it makes more sense for companies to invest into developing their products instead. But you can hardly justify unethical behaviour with some industry making money off of it. Drug dealing, slavery, forced prostitution etc. are also illegal, even though there's a hugely profitable market for those.

You have to draw the line somewhere. Governments are supposed to draw the line there, where the effect of doing something results in a net negative for this society by given values that this society considers important.

But even assuming a society only cares about its overall profit, I would be surprised if there's not some effects going on, due to targeted advertising being sharp enough of a tool to psychologically influence people to buy useless crap they don't need. And people buying useless crap they don't need is not good for the overall profit of a society. They could be buying useful crap that they can use to make more of a profit instead.
You should be using your own servers. Guess the lesson is learned now?
> will some machine learning algorithm really be capable of predicting “functioning chemistry” between people?

Unlikely, but that's not really the point. Current dating sites can't predict "chemistry" either. What people are suggesting Facebook will be able to do better is work out who you are "compatible" with, it's then up to you to decide if there is any chemistry or not.
What is often missing from this discussion is financialization of housing markets. As long as housing units are chips for a game among banks and wealthy patrons it is not clear we will be able to build enough homes to satiate artificially inflated demand.
