You can't ignore things like: whether the debt can be afforded and paid back. Because these are public ventures, you practically know they'll never produce a suitable return on investment.

Did you know that the NYC subways were originally built and run by two private companies that competed with each other? Did you know that the city froze their rates for two decades then took them over when they were no longer making desired improvements (wonder why)?
Okay - I think you are just making that up. Are there serious people in historical academia working on some sort of "political project" like that, are are you nutpicking some marginal/fringe off the internet? Can you offer some sort of links describing the name of this academic school, who belonged to it, evidence of their influence, etc? I have a personal interest in history sufficiently deep to doubt you.
I think the plus sign specifically means that it can be more?
There are still quite a lot of people in cities who don't have VDSL yet and are still stuck on maximum 20 Mbps ADSL2. Worse than that is that due to the length and age of the lines they can be getting unstable connections around 1.5Mbit/s.

This is one of those areas where the suburbs and countryside have done significantly better from government funding of BT to roll out Fibre. Wayleaves and Councils and landlords and management agencies across the cities have repeatedly blocked rollout, the situation for many is still much worse than 76 Mbps VDSL, that is a good outcome for someone in a UK city.
Sorry for your misfortune.

But at this point, wouldn't it just make sense for you to just go to a country which is more welcoming?
I do not understand what the study contradicts? It mentions no particular food.
It's not just hashes of the raw bytes of the photos. More likely something like PhotoDNA[1] that's already used for tracking child porn.

Can confirm on Chrome.

There is something interesting though. I tested it after logging out of Facebook (wanted to see what would happen). Basically I wanted to see if you needed to be logged into Facebook or not to use this redirect (would it work from the logged-out Facebook page?), but got something surprising.

I performed these steps (Chrome on Desktop, from Windows):

1. I was logged into Facebook in an incognito window. I decided to log out of it. I then removed my fast login button by clicking the X.

(Note: I didn't close that incognito window. This does mean any cookies could have been retained, I wasn't being so thorough)

2. After logging out I returned to the main Facebook.com page (to sign in) in the same window.

3. On the blank Facebook login screen , I then manually pasted https://www.fullwsj.com/articles/apple-avoids-amazons-beauty... into the URL bar in Chrome.

4. After I pressed Enter Facebook actually put up a page "Confirm leaving Facebook" with the URL. This was under the Facebook.com URL. And then I clicked the URL on that page. I got the full article.

This is what that window looked like (I reloaded it by clicking the back button in that window, while writing this comment):

https://imgur.com/a/X8bIGyX

It doesn't do this when I put in just any other URL into the URL field.

So how did this happen technically? How did Facebook.com get the new URL I put in, and halt my navigating away manually, and instead ask if I really want to go there (but remove the "full" from where 'there' is)? I don't think Chrome gives Facebook access to URL's put into the URL bar by the user...so...?

There's no chance I'm misreporting what happened because there's nowhere else I could have pasted the URL other than the URL bar, since I was logged out of Facebook at the time. I'm puzzled how this happens on a technical level.
$80/h is peanuts only in SV. It's totally viable for "top 3%" of eastern european of "experts in the field".
> I don’t think most people realize outside of tech circles that Amazon will mostly bring people in rather than hiring locally

Why do you say that? Amazon seems to recruit pretty heavily around me, which is far, far from Seattle and SV.
They've taken it to a whole new level in their more recent games, harmonizing the sound effects to the background music:

Plus it's a way for cities to start a bidding war, offering the lowest tax rates and property prices. Effectively Amazon will get their new HQ for free, if not have the cities actively pay for it. Because jobs. Free market, competition, etc, yay.

It's a terrible idea. Writing and running scripts from Scala is incompatible with certain actions. Specifically provisioning and kernel configuration. There are lots of tasks that Scala is a bad tool.
In New York? You have to at least double the initial estimate.
Thanks for insights here. Funny you mention split shipments because that's a current tricky area for me and one I wish my commerce system could handle. I create potentially many shipments from orders right now based on inventory, the types of add-ons chosen, where the buyer is, and current workload. Unfortunately right now, this is all done in a separate system so it's difficult to provide customers with good visibility on shipping times of each product up front.

Keep in mind that Toptal keeps a significant chunk of that so a developer is left with much less. I am on Toptal platform myself and think that it's most suited for those like me that are from countries with a relatively cheap cost of living.

However I agree that is unlikely to curb Revenge Porn...
Probably the point of the article is not simply to relay information in the simplest information possible but to couch it in a narrative to make it seem more memorable, more enjoyable, and more reliable.
The article mentions they don't know the trigger, and neither does Apple, but yes, once its locked, the password is useless, you need the correct answers to your security question or you're screwed.
>Is there really such a thing as "mainstream" anymore?

Yes.

>In music, I have heard "who?" reactions from folks reacting to news about artists as well known as Avicii and One Direction.

That's because music in general is not as important in pop culture anymore (we now have games, apps, social media, netflix, and so on to pass time as well -- before it was either music/radio or some (limited in number) tv channels for everyday entertainment).

In any case, Avicii and One Direction will make it into most people's news (e.g. everybody show some piece about the death of Avicci, even if they don't know who he was), because everybody in the end will see one or all of these 5-10 news sources. And of course everybody knows others, like Kanye, even if they don't follow hip-hop news sources.

But much much fewer would hear news about this or that obscure artist, say Marc Ribot, or Phil Elverum.

The names you mentioned (and others, from Kanye to U2) are all over mainstream media, the others are mentioned only/mostly on specialist or fringe outlets and media.
The contract that BT signed with the government for all the funding granting it a duopoly with Virgin, where Virgin isn't going to increase the cable network at all. That combined with the wayleave issues at a local council level being waved just for them means that the preferred rollout partner in BT gets all the money, all the profits from it and has all the access.

About the only nationwide competition that is even remotely happening is from Hyperoptic and they are being blocked all over the place and they are also really laser focussed only on high-density buildings.
The beer. The sheer local variety, quality, and abundance is officially out-of-control now. Funny, because not that many years ago the beer in US was among the worst in the world.

In order to do business in China you need to partner with a Chinese company, that Chinese company has another partner, it's the Chinese Government. Everything you share with your partner is automatically shared with the Government and the Government shares all of that data with all of their other companies.

So if you want to manufacture a CPU, your partner needs to know all the IP, if you want to make LCD panel, your partner needs to know all your IP, etc.

This is the reason it seems China is supercharged, they are forcing companies to share IP in order to get access to their market, and that IP is shared with every other relevant company in China.
People should try to understand the difference between bandwidth and latency.

I've found an analogy to a car is a simple way to help people understand.

Bandwidth: This is how big your car is. High bandwidth is like driving a huge truck. You can load a whole bunch of things up at once.

Latency: This is how fast your car is, measured in the time it takes to get between two places (so lower time means a faster car)

So you can think about most web usage like picking up groceries from the store.

Driving a huge slow 18 wheeler is a waste: you're only picking up a few groceries, and it will take a long time to get to the store and back.

Driving a tiny fast corvette is silly, because even though you get there real fast, you're going to have to make three trips to fit all the groceries in the car.

What most people want is good all around car - Big enough to haul what you need, fast enough to not feel sluggish doing it.

Some things work better with the fast car (playing games, video chat, streaming songs)

Some things work better with a big truck (downloading games, streaming HD video, moving large files)

But you have to pay attention to both.
US was built on taking the best and brightest from other countries and giving them an environment to thrive, it benefited the individual and the country as well. I would love for you to become a citizen but for some reason Democrats have chosen to punish talented people who follow the law in favor of uneducated criminals.

The US will continue losing ground if we continue with current immigration policies

The biggest irony is that Silicon Valley companies support this. Imagine Google simply hiring anyone who walked onto Googleplex and removed all hiring standards for engineering positions, it would be suicidal. That's the equivalent to our current immigration strategy.
There is already plenty of porn on the internet, why do they need more?

I would suggest PHP, then Java, then Erlang. These are useful skills that will carry you forward for the next 20 years.

I'm a volunteer for Zeldathon (not going to link it, you can google it), and we have multiple players that still play these games, and some that have gotten world records in them. It's wild that A) they've held up this long and B) how popular they are in our little community. I think we had 3 or 4 CD-i's at the last marathon I attended.

Perhaps you could explain why you think those things are security theater. Then your comment would have some actual substance.
Not to be overly pessimistic but this sentiment seems to be one of the the default themes at the moment. Fear of not getting a cut whether you offer value in that space or not.
We seem to be talking at cross-purposes here. I agree that tests enforce backwards compatibility (or compatibility in general) but they also enforce a particular design. Fundamentally redesigning something generally involves breaking the testa and the API.

To put it another way, if you never break your tests you can only ever fix bugs or add more code -- you can never remove code or redesign.
> We're not sure if ensuring compliance makes business sense

If that is the the case then it is working as intended. Instead of just ignoring regulation and writing off a small risk of some fixed and difficult to enforce fine as cost of business the "4% of global revenue" clause puts the fear of god into companies.
Around the same time there was another experiment, from Commodore instead, that didn't turn up that well either, the CDTV:

I remember seeing that in a store or two back in the days.
On the other hand, government spending is designed to help the public good when private investment may not make financial sense. Parks, for example, would never provide an ROI if private companies had to build them. That’s why so many parks are public owned and built by the government. The ROI there comes from happy citizens who will pay taxes.

Even if a subway wouldn’t be profitable to a private company, it can still be “profitable” to the government if it encourages more population and more businesses paying more in taxes. It doesn’t have to be profitable based solely on ticket prices.

I think if you are going to eat meat and dairy, then do it the right way, as you have.
But, I would not underestimate the move towards more conscious eating such as veganism. Personally if I can reduce any unnecessary suffering through what I eat and still live healthily then I will do so and I am seeing a lot of others move in a similar direction.
New builds in France don't have telephone wires for example, if an alternative is available (real fibre) they just install that instead.
Copper Ethernet RJ45 is the best. No more modem, just plug and play

I mean, you still have some kind of consumer equipment there, which the ISP will likely be supplying for almost all users anyway – so that's quite a specific thing.

Despite the headline figures, G.fast will not achieve anything close to that.

And I have to say that all seems like a little short-term thinking. The fragility of fibre in a permanent installation is hardly a convincing argument.
If you say your buffer can hold 200 characters, it better hold 200 characters
I don't the problem is a lack of clients or interest from consumers; it's that publishers want more control of the content and how it is consumed (for example by forcing you to use their own platform).
Given what facebook is and has done, why wouldn't you be suspicious that there is a hidden reason that is beneficial to facebook.

I can see a new zuck quote now... 'i asked them for nudes and those idiots just gave them to me'
We have had terms for the difference between VDSL, coaxial and actual fibre into the home for a long time, but Ofcom has allowed BT and Virgin to sell their products as "Fibre". Ofcom and the Advertising standards agency are partly to blame, they are have allowed the advertising to suggest these products are something they are not for several decades at this point.
Rust is better suited as universal language than Scala for me as I am writing also music applications, which really hate the garbage collector needed in Java/Scala, things that run on the JVM. I never really needed recursive types, but that's also something limiting on the JVM.
Julian Jaynes, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind
It's fine. You can interpret "talent" as a mass noun, in which case you wouldn't pluralise it ("There's a lot of talent here.")

Alternatively, you could use it in another sense ("He is a great talent," and "Our employees are all great talents.") Interpreting the title in this sense is slightly awkward but certainly grammatical.
The Newest Breed of Federal Acquisition Professional: The Digital Specialist
I think it's pretty normal for remote employees (not contractors) to not be expected to work 8 solid hours per day at home.

Have specifically asked so in quite a few job interviews worldwide. Most common reply is literally "we don't care as you do what you have to do"

Most folks who have participated in remote workflows for long enough know that a lot of 'waste' is elliminated by working interruption- and meeting-free, so 8h/d becomes an exhausting workload.
Well, imagine how much revenge porn is being shared on Facebook and their other social networks because that's where the victim is.

You don't need global buy-in for it to be useful. Raising the barrier can be useful.

Of course. That's no excuse to snarf your coffee instead of putting nose to the grindstone and doing the work. Agitate, educate, organize!
"I like to work in interesting domains on interesting problems. From the outside, it looks like this describes your company so I'd like the opportunity to talk to you and learn more about your company."
as a simple example, not necessarily realistic, consider the circuit boards of the iphone.

yes, they've got to ship the gerber files to china so the boardhouses can fab the boards. but those are just images of the copper and mask layers. apple doesn't have to ship the electrical schematics, with tolerances and notes and explanations of why things are done the way they're done, outside of their office building in california.

same with their ASICs; the masks and such have got to go to the fabs, but not the HDL describing the logic.

so, certainly some of their IP ends up over there, but not necessarily the juiciest bits.
The Goal by Eliyaho Goldratt
We don't have Virgin on this premises here in London and the mobile phone signal is so bad it's barely usable at all.

But I have to say that BT has been a very reliable ISP and the speeds are OK (in spite of being copper) with the exception of Sunday evenings.
London Underground, where Byford worked, does not control the surface stations at King's Cross and St. Pancras, so immigration and customs control wouldn't be part of his job. Still, King's Cross St. Pancras London Underground station alone is one of the most complex in the London Underground system, with six lines, three ticket halls, and 95 million entries and exits per year.
That totally sucks. Someone should really force a lawsuit on the issue.
I can only speak from my experience, but as an Amazonian working in a non-Seattle office, we hired essentially completely locally. We have a few transfers, but it's much more of a pain in the ass to get people moved than it is to find talent in the area. Hiring in LA, by the way.
> how much they have strained the infrastructure in Seattle

You could rephrase this as "How much Seattle's entrenched interests have crippled the city's growth". How many towns and cities would love to have the problem of too many jobs?
I agree with this. While most people blame Republicans, it's Democrats who have been the biggest enemies of High Skilled Immigrants.

There were many situations in the past 8 years, where laws could be passed to benefit High skilled immigrants. However Democrats always said that either you have Comprehensive Immigration Reform or nothing.

I worked with someone senior from FWD.us. Apparently it was created to make sure that there is unlimited H1 but no Green Cards (especially for Indians who are most impacted by this and are a decent part of workforce at FB, Google, MS etc). Apparently Democrats promised that they if they move their cause to support illegal immigration, Democrats would never let the Green Card situation get fixed for high skilled immigration. Due to this FWD.us completely shifted focus from high skilled immigration to illegals.
Not many of you looked what exactly that Hinadan game is. It is all about Japanese rituals and conservative tradition and history.
What is fascinating, is that Wakamiya-san exhibits the great value of accumulated experience, by making Hinadan game. This value is almost completely neglected in the modern Western society with its cults of the "new shiny thing" and "the next big thing".

This is a great idea. I've thought a lot about starting a similar business, but wouldn't have the sales chops to do that aspect of it/hire a team skilled in it.

I have absolutely no issues with supporting quality media; the duplication of content and the cost of individual subscriptions makes that difficult. This is a great solution.
This has been like this for at least 2 years over there now. This is facebook/whatsapp best's and only strategy to stop living off consumer data and start living off an actual service industry. Very poor management decision from my perspective, perhaps they had trouble gathering political support.
