> Interestingly, there doesn't appear to be evidence that the CPU includes an integrated graphics processor - something that's listed in detail on the product page of the Coffee Lake-based Core i3-8109U. This could simply be down to the fact that Intel does not wish to reveal details of the onboard graphics of Cannon Lake CPUs at this time, or it's decided to cut the feature out of certain product ranges in favor of using separate graphics cards.

I wonder if they may have cut onboard graphics to increase yield by lowering the bar for a QA pass in the lower product ranges. If they are having process difficulties at 10nm, that would allow them to push some of what would normally be rejected to market.

It is not pointless. This is signalling ahead of the midterms which representatives are pro net netrality to voters. The people voting it down will do so on the record, and in theory that will help challengers make it an issue against incumbents that voted no.

I wonder if this is a bubble that's going to burst eventually. With so many ships sinking and so much optimism being for naught, investors might grow tired of the game and stop investing so aggressively, perhaps shifting things too far to the other side of the spectrum.
I'm 30 now. In my 20s I was all over the place. I studied maths, did my masters, was on the path to acadamia, jacked it all in and went snowboarding for a year. Almost stayed on working as a DJ in the Alps. Then I felt I should go to get a real job, but real job offers scared me because the work seemed to lack any substance (I basically thought the work sounded pointless). I tried a few things and then eventually landed working in mobile tech in Africa and Asia and loved it. Then I moved to Kenya and started a tech startup. I have no idea what will happen next. The key lesson I've learned from all of this is that I could have never predicted what would have happened over this last decade. There have been some ups and downs, but one thing I'm clear on is that I have no regrets about doing what I felt was truly important at the time. If you think it's truly important to go and be a skiing instructor right now then why not just do it. It's hard to be too logical about the these things... try not to leave yourself destitute of course, but it doesn't sound like that's a big risk!
If you have to engineer a solution due to problems caused by the failures of those you depended on to deliver the expected level of service then the entire solution is over-engineered.
The entire economy.... Talk about an extreme click-bait headline.

Their fraudulent premise is extracted from this single setup:

"Over all, 76 percent of the companies that went public last year were unprofitable on a per-share basis in the year leading up to their initial offerings"

There were a whopping 30 tech IPOs in 2017 (tech & biotech IPOs substantially tilt the percentage of unprofitable listings; there has been no change in the number of unprofitable biotech listings, they overwhelmingly tend to be unprofitable across all years). You see, that's the entire economy. By comparison there were 370 tech IPOs in 1999, 12x more.

Meanwhile, back in reality, the S&P 500's profits are at record highs.

Small business profitability is also booming per the National Federation of Independent Business survey (a survey going back to 1973), which is registering sales & profit growth levels rarely seen in the last five decades.

I love the idea of wasm allowing other languages, but it's going to take at least a decade to be usable for anything aside from heavy number crunching with C++.

Most sane people will not hinge their vote on Internet politics. Things like healthcare, their views on whether or not killing babies is okay, if it's totally cool to be racist in 2018 or not, etc. will tend to take precedence.

Another possibility: if you scrape the data from the page directly, amazon would never know.

That's an idealist view on how this is going to play out. My contrarian view is that these large firms will have the staff to understand how to comply with these laws without having to substantively change.

Good luck doing that if you are a startup!
In Mercurial (circa 2016) Tags and branches were stored inside the repo itself, which meant you had to switch to the master branch to create a new branch or create a tag. If you created a tag in a branch the tag was visible only when you were in that branch. It caused numerous headaches trying to figure out why a tag didn't get pushed upstream.

Git correctly treats this as metadata and stores it outside of the source repo itself.

That would require legislation. As it stands, it is still impossible for bodyguards to have 50 state CCW without legal hacks like this one.
You're making a different argument than the GP.

Mobile Safari already has this requirement and it works in a different way.

The problem is that the Chrome team did it in a completely different way that broke everyone's expectations. It also didn't make any sense. Why would you require the dev to unpause the Context themselves? Why not just unpause it automatically once the user has interacted in the right way? And now that Chrome has moved, what if Edge and Firefox create their own 3rd and 4th standards.

I have a library that was broken by this. It was an easy fix, but it was still headscratching that I needed to do anything. Like most libs, I was already complying with the mobile Safari way of doing things.
Or perhaps brilliant people care a lot and just have the ability to pull it off so well that everyone else thinks they don't care. The real answer to how to be happy is not to not care how you affect others, it is to master your ability to affect them how you intend to.

> Is the author not a Python developer? Well, he's a researcher.

I think this is why the situation is bad in Python: we have too many non-programmers in the community, that simply want something to work and get on with theirs life. If they can get by it by installing a bunch of libraries by running some command incantations as root, they're happy enough.

You don't have this problem with Node because the only niche that Node really matters is Web, and WEB DEVELOPERS know that their environment should be reproducible.

*: Even in Node this isn't really true, since we have yarn vs npm. Ruby is way more stable thanks to bundler.
I had accumulated about 300 over the years and went through the following process to tidy up.
1. Get all links into a html format
2. Run through a python script to weed out invalid / dead links.
3. Of the remaining active links , run them through a script ( used headless chrome puppeteer ) to gather title , tag info for each link .
4. Check if any of the links were part of a named folder and catalogue. Unfortunately some of the bookmarks were not filed into named folders.
5. Run a script to check for common keywords or terms and group. ( Used R script )
6. Manual check again and group them with appropriate #'s into Bear app which I use for note taking.
While it might seem Heath Robinson'ish way of achieving something , I went about it this way to hone the skills around python , Puppeteer and R.

Now when I bookmark something I catalog why and what I want from that link clearly noted down in Bear app with tags.

This only means that the FED hasn't been increasing its purchases since 2014. It has maintained an over $4 Trillion (trillion with a T) balance sheet, and it continues to roll this money over. Ending QE would mean stopping repurchasing and letting the balance sheet shrink - quite different in substance and effect than tapering.

https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...

This also ignores the fact that QE purchasing has continued to accelerate at an unsustainable rate in many of the world's largest economies, such as Japan.

https://tradingeconomics.com/japan/central-bank-balance-shee...

In addition, central banks are (and have been) purchasing stocks directly to prop up the markets. The Bank of Japan spends over $800 billion yen a month buying stocks and ETFs, resulting in the central bank owning a massive 75% of ETFs in the entire market.

https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Markets/Bank-of-Japan-s-ETF...

If you don't understand the problems with central banks owning three quarters of the market and what that means in the future (near and far) then you don't understand markets. Nobody knows when the "extend and pretend" strategy employed by central banks around the world for the last decade will fall apart, but everyone informed understand that it won't last forever. The longer we keep our heads in the sand the worse the problem will ultimately be.

Interesting in this case that you could maybe apply it to both situations:

Motte 1: Marketing is valuable and helps people spread information.
Bailey 1: Tracking your every move against your will is fine and also profitable.

Motte 2: Tracking my every move is unacceptable and evil.
Bailey 2: All marketing - even writing a blog post or website copy about products or approaches to problem solving - is inherently evil.

I don't know which you were referring to, and I kind of like it this way.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up the way CyberRebate ended up way back when they’d reimburse your purchase 100% on marked items (supposedly they’d take the money reinvest and then make enough to reimburse you completely..., ha!)
A lot of people are dismissing this as political theatre, but it serves a useful function as recording the names of everyone against reinstating net neutrality publically, so that challengers can make it a campaign issue in November. No, it probably isn’t going to pass the house, and smart money is on Trump vetoing it even if that miracle came to pass. However, Democrats are testing the waters for a campaign pledge, and some Republicans might notice. We absolutely want this represented in the midterm campaigns.
That makes a lot of sense. I was confused as to why they'd release a version that's both targeted towards low power (which makes sense for a new node), but doesn't have an iGPU.
Perhaps, though, in this situation, the had 2/3 days to make people aware.

Also, if the call customer service and you validate it, then they are only offline for a couple hours not days. Also, you should have a status page or twitter or something out of band that you tell people about the day they sign up. You can update there.

EVERY production service with customers needs an out of band way to update. And you have to build and announce that before you need it.

> There are other highly divisible numbers. 60 was probably chosen because of its approximate relationship to the length of the solar year.

I had heard & read the reason was more one of counting convenience, more directly related to divisibility. What sources do you have suggesting that the length of the year is the "probable" reason?

Poking around, I see several suggestions that it might be related to the number of months, which has nothing to do with the number of days. I also found this opinion, which seems to contradict the idea that the number system is related to days in the year:

"Several theories have been based on astronomical events. The suggestion that 60 is the product of the number of months in the year (moons per year) with the number of planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) again seems far fetched as a reason for base 60. That the year was thought to have 360 days was suggested as a reason for the number base of 60 by the historian of mathematics Moritz Cantor. Again the idea is not that convincing since the Sumerians certainly knew that the year was longer than 360 days. Another hypothesis concerns the fact that the sun moves through its diameter 720 times during a day and, with 12 Sumerian hours in a day, one can come up with 60. [...] I [EFR] feel that all of these reasons are really not worth considering seriously."

And I'm arguing that the average newcomer (if we need a specific definition of average, how about chosen at random among low-income American sixth graders far removed from big cities like San Fransisco or New York?) would have an easier time understanding Python to the level of being capable of basic file/network I/O than they would with Haskell, because Python will be more immediately familiar to them because they don't need to even know what a thrice-damned monad is.
I have seen this narrative parrotted quite frequently, but it's false. GDPR isn't as crushing as people currently feel it is, but it will force companies to adopt better policies to avoid problems. Startups right now are best positioned to make the transition whereas the behemoths will be forced into significant spends on legal fees or insurance - not to mention scandals such as the Facebook debacle that has so many people up in arms.

Disruption is startup paradise.
