Dating service for FB is too obvious of a feature, I am surprised they just start doing it now.

A social network is an obvious place for people to meet new people. I think this is a really good idea for FB.

> No one buys a Jeep to go explore the country anymore, they buy a Jeep to show how manly they are and to go instagram pictures of places they have been and how much money they dumped in their vehicle that could have gone where they are stock from the factory.

Sure they do, you just hear about the latter a lot more because they shout on social media about what they've done, whereas the former just go explore the country.
Surface Mount Device; sort of the opposite of through-hole, they're both soldering and electronics mounting methods.

I agree with much that is in the article. Riding a bike on the roadway is a technical activity. You need to make your intentions clear and protect yourself as best you can from the mistakes of others. Like when riding a motorcycle, you need to take responsibility for your safety by making smart decisions on speed, where you ride in the lane, making yourself visible, etc.

"Idaho cyclists can treat stop signs as yield signs, which isn’t the case in most other places." This sounds like a good idea to me. The cyclists who would abuse the rule, for instance by blowing through a stop sign or red light at high speed, are already abusing it.
Just like plenty of ICO scams aren't criminal - but the people behind them lack basic integrity and should be condemned for their sleazy enterprises.
One company (Sabre) actually had a department (development team that supported HR) holiday lunch/outing. Everyone on the team went, contractors and employees. (Don't get me wrong - I'm glad I had a great manager who would do that ... but honestly the only difference I really ever felt was my paycheck was signed by someone else)
Holy shit, I completely forgot. But yes, I've had this happen to me as well. It's a bit... distressing to get (slightly) shocked by your laptop.
I've been an early adopter of docker. Used Compose when it was still called Fig, used and deployed kubernetes beta up to version 1 for in-house PAAS/heroku like environment.

Must say I do miss those days when K8s was an idea that could fit in your head. The primitives were just enough back then. It was powerful developer tool for teams and we used it aggressively to accelerate our development process.

K8s has now moved beyond this and seems to me to be focussing strongly on its operational patterns. You can see these operational patterns being used together to create a fairly advanced on-prem cloud infrastructure. At times, to me, it looks like over-engineering.

Looking at the borg papers, I don't remember seeing operational primitives this advanced. The develop interface was fairly simple i.e this is my app, give me these resources, go!

I know you don't have to use this new construct but it sure does make the landscape a lot more complicated.
"processors wishing to keep their execution units busy running C code"
What? This is non sense, the processor is not running C code!
The processor can only run machine code, regardless of the language used to write the source code.
Normal bacon is out.

You can get bacon without nitrites/nitrates. Watch out for hidden nitrates/nitrites though, for example "celery juice". Celery picks up lots of nitrites/nitrates from the fertilizer it is given. Depending on what you like about bacon, you might prefer thin salted slices of pork, which might be called "bacon" or not depending on your supplier.

You can cook bacon without burning it. I happen to think it tastes much better baked at low temperature, without browning it. The best choice is probably a pressure cooker, and steaming would be quite good too.
It's odd that they don't survive? It's basically a license to print money. Many factories make good guitars all over the world but Gibson is one of those that can charge a lot just for the brand. (At least as long as the guitars are actually good.)
The headline could also be re-stated as "To solve affordability crisis, Bay Area housing stock must grow 2% per year".

Using a long time period will give you large headline numbers.

> I guess I shouldn't upload pictures on Facebook because it's against my right to want to see one of my old picture disappear later?

If think that you will ever want real control over the pictures, then yes, you should avoid posting them to Facebook. I'd think that that's fairly obvious.
> Merely stating 'we are the product' doesn't make an argument.

I dont think i merely stated "we are the product"

> As for 'microwork', haven't we always done a lot of objectively pointless stuff, norms, social customs because together they make the world we live in a little more pleasant for ourselves? Why yes we have.

We've always done pointless stuff, but the engagements (microwork) we do on social media may _seem_ pointless to us, but to Facebook it creates the value they sell.
At the University of Arizona, there was a strict expulsion and forfiture of earned credits policy for plagarism amongst undergrads. I'd say having wasted $20k is pretty high stakes, though I suppose not as high as jail time.
Well, iPhone sales have been pretty stagnant. The new iPhones Apple rolls out every year isn't exactly revolutionary. Not sure how long they can keep this up and expect people to buy new phones every cycle or every 2 cycle. The X was disappointing, given the hype, and I'd be interested to see the X sales numbers.

The Macbook Pro line is also suffering some hardware issues - keyboard, batteries, touchpad. The touch bar also has been a real annoyance, and I've been favoring my 2012 rMBP over the newer models.
thanks, i'll make these updates.
I'm claiming that encouraging plagiarism artificially punishes the "I can do the work but I freeze up in a high-pressure/high-stakes do-or-die situation like an interview" crowd - because it means that that's the only tool I can trust to weed out the people who've just coasted on bullshit their whole lives.

The high-ness of the stakes at the college level seems to depend on if you have scholarships or similar - I've seen those be pulled, but haven't seen people I've known personally be actually expelled. So if you're fully dependent on them, it's bad, otherwise, it's no big deal. After college it depends on the type of job - some bigco or government orgs seem perfectly happy to carry a bunch of dead weight around.

Pre-college is mostly a super-low-stakes area for kids these days, but complicated by something 'tcfunk points out in a sibling comment, where authority figures lie about that - claiming everything is dire - but the kids also know their teachers/administrators are full of shit. My friends and I were very good at finding out which rules we could break with impunity - having too many rules, if anything, watered down the seriousness of the important ones.

So where you see problems are e.g. kids who could get away with anything suddenly running afoul of drug laws, or losing their scholarship over rules that didn't have teeth in high school, etc. Of course, the better off you are, the more easily you can weather that stuff - but to me, the root is that we're very opaque with our kids about what you'll get into real trouble over or not, and it changes in a very lumpy manner.
To be blunt, this is a horrible roll-out by Google. It is a perfect example of the right hand not talking to the left hand, or the rest of the body for that matter. Several significant issues:

1) The announcement is made by Google, yet Google is not accepting EAP registrations. Very confusing.

2) The registrars accepting EAP are not as widely known as you would expect for something like this, meaning that I am going to have to pay to registrar now and then a transfer fee to transfer to my primary register down the road.

3) GoDaddy is listed as an EAP registrar, however, they are only accepting pre-registrations at this time. On top of that, they found a way to be even more shady by charging a $173.99 for "Priority Pre-Registration".

Disagree. I argue that a poorly educated person would be more likely to cheat. In a sense, that punishment would be refusing education for the crime of lacking education.
Yeah, I certainly don't claim that the people I interact with are representative of San Francisco as a whole. From some article I found from a few years ago[1], the vast majority of new residents don't have cars, but overall about 30% of total residents don't have cars. Most of my coworkers don't live downtown, and they get to work using BART, Muni, bus, or bike. When they need to get somewhere not on public transit, they use Lyft or Uber. In both of the two places I've lived in SF so far, I roomed with two other people, and none of us wanted the parking space, so we rented it out to someone else.

My point is that in many cases, there exists a reasonable city design and style of living where car ownership feels unnecessary and is better seen as a luxury than a right. Certainly there are many situations where car ownership makes sense, but I worry that people are sometimes too attached to the idea of car ownership and either incorrectly view it as a necessity or assume that everyone else needs a car as well.

Same experience in the UK. I shut down facebook for a while a couple of years ago. Net result? I found myself getting invited to fewer social events. Basically, you make yourself a PITA for all your friends and acquaintances[1]. As much as I dislike facebook, for now, leaving really isn't a viable option.

[1] Granted, this may be age group specific. My friends tend to be 30-40-somethings, or late 20s at the youngest. Not so surprising, given I'm in my early 40s.

My MacBook Air mid 2013 also fries peripherals via USB when idle or rebooting (even when unplugged from dc), happened twice.
I'm pretty sure I get it -

It's an up-scale gift.

All those times you've walked into Best Buy, and you've seen the WALL of crappy VR? Well, this will be the undisputed king of all of them.

I'm seriously considering one for airplanes. I'd definitely want to use my noise-cancelling headphones instead, though. "also includes a 3.5mm headphone jack" So that's good.

It'll be lighter than one phone-based ones, too, I bet. Less fidgeting, trying to get your phone in and out. Don't get distracted when you get an IM from your friend, wrecking your view for a minute. Auto-brightness isn't on, messing with you.

And it's a walled garden. Oculus IS the store. That's good for them. So, they may sell these at a loss, and still come out ahead.

The smart move is to buy one and only use the free apps, or the stuff you really, really know you want.
They have the cash and people generally invest in AAPL for reasons other than having a stake in a bond fund, so it makes some sense. Buybacks vs special dividend are debatable, but impossible to say what is better until you see the future share price. They did hike the dividend substantially too so they're playing both angles.

This happened to me too, back in January. It managed to fry two different U2F devices as well as a cable, which were plugged into different ports. One of the devices got so hot before I noticed it that it actually melted the plastic on the U2F device itself.

Fortunately, it was my work laptop, and my company was able to replace it, but at best it's inconvenient to have to replace a machine, and it's kind of frightening to suddenly smell burning plastic in your home.
It’s funny how the human brain works. I was prepared to be amazed yet the very first thoughts through my mind was literally: “her eyes look wonky, her left eye is bleeding, her ears are really odd”. Only then did I even notice the rest of the picture and think “This is actually really impressive for pure css”.
Interesting: I wasn't aware of the two servers mentioned in the article, looks like it's time to try out a new stack!
You either have a bad supply or a floating earth, that is cuased by a bias between earth and tbe floating earth on the laptop. Put a multimeter between the earth pin on your supply and the body of the laptop and if you put it into ac volts mode you can see it. This is NOT static, its is A/C volts on your device.

They might not have reasonable freedom to move or protest, but people will always have the radical freedom to oppose an oppressive regime. It is just much more costly and requires the knowledge that you live in an oppressive regime and access to information in order to break it.

Surface Mount Device. The name given to components which are soldered directly to the surface of the PCB (printed circuit board). SMD devices are very common now and replace older components which had legs (or leads) which had to pass through holes in the circuit board, also known as "leaded components" or through-hole.
Tokyo is still very expensive relative to Japanese incomes. Is it more expensive than SF on an adjusted basis? Hard to say, but it’s not as clear as you’re asserting.

If anything, magacities like Tokyo and London show us that you can build like crazy, and still end up a very expensive place to live.
I think this is the interesting question about the situation; what is the conservative movement's agenda here? I don't see a clear one. (Let me be clear: I'm not writing this to criticize or support the movement or its agenda in this case; I'm just wondering what the agenda is.)

It's broader than the Competitive Enterprise Institute. For example, the U.S. Justice Department under Sessions instituted a policy banning (or reducing?) settlements with the Justice Department that paid money to 3rd parties. When the Sessions' Justice Department did it, I assumed they wanted to defund 'liberal' institutions (meaning, those not in the conservative ideological movement). As another example, there is also the effort to defund Planned Parenthood and the successful one to defund ACORN.

Note that the Supreme Court case matches a modus operendi of the conservative movement: Change policy and law via the courts rather than through Congress. They develop legal strategies, find good test cases, get Federalist Society judges appointed (especially to the Supreme Court), and incrementally change law and cement policy changes that way. Other groups in other parts of the political spectrum adopt the same approach, of course; it's not just the conservative movement, but they have been particularly strategic.

But why this issue? Perhaps someone in the conservative movement decided that these settlements are a valuable revenue stream for "liberal" groups. If someone read through the literature, I'd bet we could find the reasoning and the strategy. Perhaps someone here already has and will share with us?

Disregarding all the recent privacy issues, I think FB is poised to become the best dating site out there. The personal data it's been collecting for all these years--the likes, shares, comments, events, groups, etc.--could be used to create fine-grained matches.
I think it's also clear that Detroit is not a growth model you'd want to emulate. With the benefit of hindsight, it's clear that Detroit ended up with way too much low-productivity infrastructure that the current residents of the area can't afford to maintain.

He could have taken on outsourcing as a side-project, outsourced a major portion of his job successfully, demonstrated it to higher ups transparently, and landed a better role as an outsourcing specialist.

Instead, he secretly outsourced his entire job and pretended to actually do the work himself so he could get paid to do nothing.

The company fired him because he didn't operate in a way that was good for the company, only in a way that benefited him personally.

People like him don't belong in management, they belong in jobs that don't require any trust, because they aren't trustworthy people.

TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | Eindhoven, the Netherlands | ON-SITE or REMOTE (Europe only)

TalkJS is the chat platform for platforms. We help online marketplaces build great user-to-user communication. Our product is a fully powered pluggable chat UI + real-time infrastructure so that our customers can focus on their market instead of on their messaging features.

SENIOR FULL STACK PROGRAMMER:

We're looking for an experienced programmer - the kind that could make it to "software architect" at a boring bigco but prefers to get their hands dirty. Our stack is made of Elixir, ES6, React, PostgreSQL and a little bit of Node. Some key challenges: cross platform SDKs, making excellent forward compatible APIs, combining great UX with high customizability, and scaling up to millions of concurrent requests.

We're particularly looking for true full stack engineers who can work on both the frontend and the backend. Sure, everybody has a sweet spot, but we're not currently looking for "true backenders" or "mobile devs" or something like that. No need to already know all of our stack if you're a fast learner. Bonus points if you're good at keeping things simple!

CONTENT MARKETER / WRITER:

We're looking for someone who a knack for tech who loves writing stories about how people use chat to make their lives and/or their apps better. Bonus points if you're good at happy customers or at SEO.

ABOUT YOU

Our team is small and highly proactive, and we expect the same from you. If you need to be told what to do all the time, don't apply. If you want to be the smartest person in a (chat) room full of interns, don't apply. If you want to move fast with an experienced team, get in touch.

We're a semi-distributed team and we work primarily online (like a fully distributed team). Both on-site and remote are OK, but Europe only: We'd like you to come over to our Eindhoven office frequently and keep timezones relatively close. Unfortunately we can't finance relocation at this moment.

Apply by sending an email to hey@talkjs.com.

I realized I glossed over the fact that this would put other AWS/GAE customers's money at risk too. This complicates matters somewhat, and some (I believe a negligible number of) customers might switch to an unblocked competitor.

Personally this weakens my view a little, but is not enough to change it substantially.
Holy crap, I've been looking for something (from a user's perspective) like this for ages. Not doing web stuff anymore so not applying but can't wait to check this out.
For example, let's say you watch TV news each evening. There's a political scandal going on which is featured prominently every night for a whole week as developments go on.

A lot of what is said will be redundant because each report needs to repeat the basics to be able to stand on its own. For a returning viewer, that's not new information, ergo noise.

The journalists and experts may spend time speculating about what happens next. This information will be outdated the next day as new developments take place, so it's noise for me unless the speculation provides value for me between the broadcast and the next day.

I stopped watching TV news on a regular basis, and switched to reading a weekly newspaper for precisely this reason. With a few days of distance from the original event, everyone can catch their breath and take a step back to put the story into the bigger picture.

Now after 6 years, I've cancelled my newspaper subscription in order to read more books, so I'm deliberately zooming out even more.
