I run Arch on my XPS 15, too. Had it up and running after the usual Arch Wiki binge reading and a couple hours of trial and error. But that's what I always do when installing Arch.

A couple weeks ago I did a fresh install with Manjaro. With this the installation process goes down to around 10 minutes and everything (bluetooth, touchpad, function keys, optirun etc.) works out of the box.
The BBC is not government funded, and all television news in the UK, including Murdoch's Sky News is required by law to be unbiased.

If it's a choice between the BBC and the constant, blatant, society distorting lies you see in American "News", I'll take my Orwellian dystopia thanks.
In middle age Europe, designated herolds came to the town centre and recited news and gossip - an equally time consuming contract for both sides.

The invention of the Newspaper eliminated that - wouldn't you say that this change was, while disruptive, for the better?

Can "sprints" be reconciled with volunteering? The joy of open source is that you can work on what you want, when you want. The moment that somebody tells you what to do and when to do it, it begins to look at bit like a job.
Why would you assume that any random PayPal employee (a) was directly involved in the point-of-sale payment system, (b) actively dislikes the PoS system (as opposed to simply seeing no advantage over their existing debit card), (c) has the ability and authority to fix whatever they think is wrong?

This notion that it should be mandatory to love your company and its products is so fucking Orwellian.
San Francisco prepares for the bust after the boom
I live in the neighbourhood, very close to where the "campus" is being built. I understand that Google has a lot of symbolic value in the protests, but I don't think that it actually will have such an impact. Paul-linke-ufer is already full of startups and relatively affluent american hipsters flood the caffes in the hood. That is also ok, I guess, (like UFO361 says hahaha), people in the end can live wherever they want. But what is not ok is the cartel-like tactics that Berliner landlords use to rise rents. In Germany people tend to not own flats, but this means many buildings are owned by big companies with lots of pressure power when they want to do mass rent increases. They do really shady things like playing with the WBS (social housing) rules against the renters, like with these renters in Maybachufer: https://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/1086567.falsches-sp... The rents went up 17% last year in and this rate is increasing every year. This is really worrying and I hope the city becomes serious about it.
You are right about replacing trusted humans (word of mouth) with arbitrary humans (reviews). But, the algorithm part comes because of the volume of arbitrary humans' reviews. Algorithm crunches these reviews/ratings and determines the top products, which is deeply flawed at the core. Today, our buying pattern is driven by the scale (volume of rating) rather than the quality (word of mouth).

It was said in another thread, Apple's financial interests align better with their users -- Google keep insisting on stalking their own users. I'm so happy I don't have a Gmail account.
I think it is pretty good regardless
I've literally been in the room when legal and compliance offices gave the advice on both the construction of the relevant regulations and industry practices on which a payer relied on in deciding to use a process that created paper documents then faxed them for certain purposes, but, no, there's nothing published I can link to as to that being the reason industry players make that decision.

I can, however, point you to the relevant section of HIPAA regulations on which it rests, the definition of “electronic media” at 45 CFR § 160.103, specifically this bit: “Certain transmissions, including of paper, via facsimile, and of voice, via telephone, are not considered to be transmissions via electronic media if the information being exchanged did not exist in electronic form immediately before the transmission.”
Obviously time and money aren’t the problem. Look at windows phone. Microsoft wasn’t being frugal in marketing
This is highly misleading.

What made "Service-orientated-architecture" stand out in the 90's and 2000's was standardized communication protocols. It made integrating across teams, and even across companies easier than it's ever been before.

But there were no best practices around service architecture. Sure, methods were decoupled by responsibility (maybe). But when companies thought about their "Web Service" strategy that meant putting up ONE service exposed to the world, and moving on.

Internally, "SOA" meant 1-5 services for a mid-sized shop.

This worked for a while until it didn't. First, the services became monoliths of conflicting responsibilities, then the mobile revolution and big data led to scalability challenges that the era of SOA never had to consider.

THAT is what microservices promised to solve. By being brutal with decomposing and decoupling your concerns you could scale each intelligently and independently. Containers are just an implementation detail, and weren't around yet when Microservices first made their impact.

Of course, plenty of people don't get this. They think of microservices as just another buzzword. So, it's been ruined like "agile" has, and you hear companies about their "Microservice architecture", when really all they've done is migrated their backend to node.js and moved to the cloud.

Shame. It's a good idea a lot of the time (and sometimes it isn't, as with all good ideas).

And those will have online booking systems already - I don't see how this technology is still relevant nowadays. Maybe it was back in the 90's when the internet (and online booking) was a new thing, but now? I can't see there's a big market for this application.
If the robots can interact with people who can't use a computer, then user accessibility could improve over the current situation. Like most technology, this has potential to improve the human condition for many or few. It depends on how people use it.

"first as tragedy, then as farce" has never been as true as in the age of node.js hello world "microservices" with 136 MB of low quality dependencies in node_modules (I just checked mine). I can run Java servlets with less dependencies, including the JVM.
If it was that straightforward, we’d already have bots that pass the Turing Test.

Paul-Lincke-Ufer was my first flat in Berlin, in 2008. A bedroom then went for €400/mo, and that was considered high then. Now I imagine it is 3-4x that.
I wonder if similar techniques can be applied to PC games. Specially for older ones, considering they use less threads and certain CPU features where not available at the time.
I think Berlins "Poor but happy" times are fast coming to an end. Rents have been rising quickly the last few years and tech companies and startups becoming more prevalent. Heck, Neukölln went from being a cheap alternative to being as trendy and expensive as Kreuzberg.

Berlin kinda, from what I understand, enjoyed it's special culture much because it wasn't an industrial city and lacked an large international airport, but cheap rent, international vibe and fun hipster values seems like the perfect void for tech to move into now that rents and prices in the usual "big cities" have gone through the roof. I can also imagine cities like Amsterdam and Berlin getting some Brexit escapees.

Mark my words, Berlin will be Europe's Silicon Valley within a few years.

The original Dutch word is "luchtkussenboot" (air pillow boat), but almost exclusively used in Flanders (Belgium) and the southwest of the Netherlands as the English loanword "Hovercraft" is more commonly used.

> Importantly, all phones had sound alerts and vibration turned off, so the participants couldn’t be interrupted by notifications.

I’m in a similar position except I’m currently in London, UK. Wife would love move to Toronto where she grew up and has family but some issues stop us. Even in Toronto, a bigger place than Vancouver things feel relatively barren as you put it, salaries are lower. If you have an online business or work remotely that can solve things but beware high taxes. To take just one example currently Ontario’s highest rate of marginal income tax is 53.4% compared with 45% in the U.K. That said taxes are complex as a whole, not all taxes are higher but overall the burden in Ontario tends to be higher and applies at lower levels. Some of the salaries they pay government workers are very high compared to elsewhere.

My wife’s family loves living in Canada and we may yet move one day but I’d say if you’re from the US, UK or Asia I would not feel bad about it taking much longer to find work in Canada, I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong or looking in the wrong places.

> Berlin will be Europe's Silicon Valley within a few years.

Things that need to happen before this :

1. Salaries need to grow faster. Rent is really high for the new comers specialists.

2. Companies need to increase the salary gap between good and bad workers. Right now you are not able to negotiate more than 10% on top of the "average" salary.

3. Germany needs to fix the privileges of employees having options / shares of the company. With the current legislation / founders attitude is quite boring and useless.

Whether you use a hardware key, or a password manager, in both cases the attacker needs both authentication factors: your password, and the hardware key or password manager.

With a hardware key you gain the advantage of the attackers having to physically gain access to that key.
Sorry for the hipsters, but Berlin is the capital of the biggest economy in Europe and it was once one of the biggest metropolises in the world plus one of the biggest hubs of economy and science.

It was always destined to go towards its past glory once Germany reunited. The only question was: "how long will it take for that to happen?".
Not quite up to date anymore I'm afraid.

In general I agree. There is a major confounder that the best source of fiber are raw vegetables which have other beneficial properties - but most studies of it tended to use something much simpler than actual fiber combinations found in foods.

We do not know nearly enough about how diet impacts gut microbiome, nor how the environment does. It is really hard to study anyway.

Yeah I guess that's what stemming the tide :) Also a lot of German companies seem to require that you speak German. I know awesome programmers/designers living in Berlin but if they work for Berlin companies they seem to earn a pittance of what they'd would in for instance Stockholm. But if more tech companies, like Soundcloud, imports themselves into Berlin and Germany, employees and all, that will change.

Can it be because venture capital hasn't come to Berlin/Germany in a big way yet? Typically German companies seems more aimed at the German market rather than an international one, which maybe doesn't fuel a bubble as quickly.
Maybe Leipzig is the new Berlin :)
Slightly Off Topic:

I thought Germany has some form of protection by law so rent and property market don't get to hike the prices to whatever they want. So while the world 's property market is on fire by QE, Berlin hasn't moved a needle at all.

So why has rent risen so much?

Remote tech is unreliable. Our company spends tons of money on conference software, and we still all sat around for 20 minutes of a wasted meeting today while they couldn't get a weird echo out of the dial-in. There's always something- we can hear you but we can't see you. We can see you but we can't hear you. The slides are showing but the video isn't working. The video is working but the sound has a weird echo. Everything is working, but someone forgot to put themselves on mute and you can hear the driving noise.

Even when everything works perfectly, there is always a lag or a missed connection due to miscommunication or timezones.

In short, it always kinda sucks, is a drag to deal with even with the best tech and we just get more done with our in-house teams.

Remote workers don't build up any social capital and so are always the first to be laid off.

A problem today for Anarchism, is that it has been painted as the neo-west version of Anarchism. One of Black Blocs, and teeming with destructive youths. While the real system of Anarchism is not really about destruction of property, but collective ownership of it. It is about destroying the institutions which control our lives, not physically but ideologically and practically, so that it is the people who are in control. Not unelected elites with masses of unseen power.

It is truly a brilliant political ideology, and really hasn't been properly tested as one. It came close in the Spanish Civil War, but this conflict had too many competing ideologies on one side against the fascists, that it was undermined by the communists when it was just starting to show its worth.

2. No hitting that damages them.
3. Appreciate them like you appreciate an adult.
4. Dont lie, ever, even if it was a joke or making them fooled. (Like saying ill buy you candies if you stop crying, yet you didnt actually buy the candies).
5. Be there, and listen.
6. Never argue with your spouse in front of them, or in front of anybody.
7. Dont lecture them in public.
8. They are smart, dont let them do the mistakes that you once did.
9. What they eat shapes them.
10. Help them fix their mistakes, no need to blame them. (Broke the glass? Help them fix it.
11. If you have multiple children, if you buy a present, buy for all of them.

>The US military has sunk $50 Billion dollars into this problem over the last 30 years and still aren't there.

Bell X22 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arXpHn9DPYo ) was technically pretty successful from the start. The only disadvantage vs. V-22 is the speed - that speed though comes at the cost of lesser stability and safety and higher complexity of V-22. For commercial application the priorities would be different, and thus i think the multirotor, being more easy to develop, would come cheaper and sooner than that while any commercialization of V-22 is doomed from the start.
