Getting into the late payments trap can be very devastating . i've been in this situation battling with late medical bills on my credit report and late payments record of student loan. i reached out to this hack specialist in 2017 via their email. Q U A D H A C K E D @ G M A I L . C O M . he helped me clear several derogatory comment from my report . this placed my credit score on a whole other level, and it was progressive over time. i'm so happy i got introduced to him, my colleague at work recommended him and it has been awesome since then. if you got low credit score and credit report related issues ranging from deletion and expunge of negative /derogatory remarks, reach out to them today via their email Q U A D H A C K E D @ G M A I L . C O M . you'l be glad you did so.
Not all documentation is equal.

While design documentation tends to be anti-agile (but sometimes useful to avoid wasting more time on miscommunication and mistakes), end user documentation is, for all practical purposes, part of the valuable software product, as it enables end users to do what they want to do.

Unfortunately, being able to neglect end user documentation makes many outfits treat it as a useless luxury, either because they are only judged on software (e.g. passing a test instead of having satisfied users) or because they don't care (e.g. many introverted hacker/artist open source maintainers). It's purely delusional agility, like driving fast by not stopping for fuel.

Actually, they only work in the specific case of SFSafariViewController. This isn't available for any old webview to implement.

not exactly, only about 15 states pay more federal tax than they receive back, and they're not all the ones you would expect. [0]

still, this is a valid point. the net flow of cash is certainly an important thing to consider, but i do think it is worth making the distinction between federal and state taxes. i happen to live in a (very blue) state that receives more federal dollars than we pay in taxes. if i lived in a creditor state, i would certainly not be thrilled with the situation, but i would accept that the tax is raised (at least ostensibly) for the national interest and may not be spent evenly among the states. state taxes, on the other hand, are raised exclusively for the benefit of that state. we can argue about how to allocate federal dollars most fairly, but i really feel that state taxes should not be directly subsidized by citizens of other states.

At one point I was probably spending 10s of hours a week doing B&W darkroom work so I have a certain nostalgia for it. I also spent lots of time playing with developer chemistry, etc.

But, no, I don't really miss it. It was an enjoyable hobby but it was also a pain to the degree that it was a process you had to go through in order to arrive at the final photograph.

In our experience, the founder should close the first 3-10 enterprise deals on their own. When you chose to outsource, you may close some deals, but you lose out on the early customer product feedback.

The relationships with your early customers are key. You need to make your early customers your biggest fans to show how your product changed their business through references and/or mini-case studies.

They may make more products that people do use, but that doesn't mean that people like using them.
And also "uncontrolled and unsustainable" living standards growth.

org mode is much more evolved than this. That does mean that it's less lightweight and requires the use of emacs, but I honestly think that org mode (and magit) by themselves are reasons to use emacs, even if just for those packages.

Features of org mode that I use:

* Full editor support for the language you're writing -- syntax highlighting, structural editing, etc

* On-line evaluation of code blocks, with the results appearing after said code block

* Threading of data through multiple code blocks -- I can perform an SQL query and transparently pass the result to gnuplot for visualization -- emacs takes care of translating the intermediate data between formats

* Full noweb-style tangling of source

and many more.
What lead are you talking about? Canon's sensors were a running joke in the past 5 years comparing to Nikon (that used modified Sony sensors), manufactured in 3 generation-older process than their competition. Seeing e.g. D750 vs 5D MkIII in low-light was an eye opener. The only selling point of Canon remained their unique "pleasant" color mapping (and photographers getting stuck with older Canon-only lenses/strobes etc.).

They are using this to routinely pull wanted criminals out of crowds using facial recognition. Seems valuable especially to somewhere like China that likes to grab particular people.
Nobody subsidizes many blue states, which in fact subsidize many poorer states (as Texas does as well).

I'm not sure how I feel about the concept, but one rationalization is that if a basic need, like road funding, is suitably taken care of at the state level by high state income taxes, then the state needs less federal funding. It's sort of a usage qualifier I guess.

While this article notes that the Chinese government is one of Sensetime's most visible partners, it doesn't really make it clear the extent to which private sector companies like SenseTime are inseparable from the public sector in China. By supporting SenseTime as its client, Beijing has signaled to investors like Alibaba that it has chosen a winner, and that it will never let SenseTime fail. As with most mainland tech companies, SenseTime will heed the diktats of the central government, much as social platforms like Weibo march in step on censorship requests.

One interesting question this raises is: How can non-Chinese compete against such national champions, this intense cooperation between public and private sectors? In the US, those relationships are much more problematic, as the recent uproar at Google about Project Maven illustrates. Not only that, but the US government is neither as aggressive nor as forward-looking about such partnerships, preferring to let market forces have their way. China is tilting the playing field in its favor, while the world's sole superpower is hobbled by clowns and criminals in the executive branch, and corrupt prime contractors pretend to supply the government with tech that they neither understand nor make themselves.

I agree with your comment but as it stands the business market is MUCH larger than the education market. Most schools don’t use either or don’t pay much. Schools are seen as essentially a small vertical in the extremely large market. Just think of all the companies who pay for 20,000 microsoft licenses. A lot of the market you describe is free.

Or website operators could stop embedding objects hosted by Google. GDPR protects users to some extent, but sites should protect themselves, too. The information available to hosts of embedded assets is quite valuable, especially when those assets are in the form of scripts, and sites should seriously consider monetizing that information themselves rather than just giving it away.
have they considered introducing new types for wrapping integers, checked integers and saturating integers. i understand why they might not want to make a change that could have a large effect on existing programs. but if you introduce new types then the new types will only effect new programs that choose to use them and this seems to be something that could be a library change than a language change.
==We can reduce traffic fatalities to zero by lowering speed limits to 25 and building cars like tanks, but we don't. Why not? It's not a reasonable expense to achieve the goal.==

Except we have lowered speed limits and mandated security measures on cars, just not to the arbitrary level you stated. We followed scientific studies that showed positive results of lower speed limits in certain areas and implemented car safety requirements for manufacturers.

> the argument "Google Font is ok because Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield frameworks" holds some water imho.

While I wish that were the case, the Privacy Shield framework only legitimizes the cross-border transfer of the data. It doesn't have any bearing at all on the need for notice to users, contractual relationship with them as a processor/sub-processor, or the compliance of Google's use of that personal data once the cross-border transfer has occurred.
Don't worry, the marketers will get to you soon enough.

Google has already wedged themselves in as the "gold standard" dns provider. My gut says eventually Apple/Google/Amazon will start forcing blessed devices to use their own name services. For the good of the user, of course. Ahem.

> More than likely in my experience, the people who think lowering taxes is good think so because they view the government as an inefficient [...] spender

The government is made up of people. In my experience, it isn't the funding amount that correlates with inefficiencies, it's the distance from accountability that does.

So one can reduce the taxes all one likes, a 30% wasteful department is still going to waste 30%. I'd rather target the inefficiencies themselves.

Good bye dumb old fad, hello new dumb fad.

Can someone tell me if this is because designers like to copy whatever look is in season? Or is it mostly the clients / managers who are afraid to have their brand identity be too different?

I knew a designer who couldn't tell you what made text legible, or how a grid system worked. But they were good at copying certain styles that were popular. They would read those articles like "20 stunning sites with flat design," pick a few to copy, and then give the client a look-a-like site, regardless if the design made sense for their business. Always thought they were a hack, but they were employed, so good for them.

Edit: Just wanted to point out that the return of serifs is probably a good thing - good designers seeing that minimalist logos are overdone and wanting to stand out. My comments are more directed at what is inevitably to come - hordes of smaller companies copying the most superficial aspects of this trend.

sales != revenue.

with the 30% commission, it would be at most $6B. From http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/01/technology/google-earnings/i...:

> Alphabet posted nearly $15 billion in sales for the year from Google's "other revenues," which include cloud services and hardware products, like the Pixel phones and Google Home smart speakers.
I think it just means CA has managed to outsource more labour than the UK. Think of all the workers in China making Apple phones, or all the Uber drivers in the world forking over a chunk of their business to people in CA. It would be interesting to see the results if we could compute a per capita GDP that was actually divided among all the workers that support a given region's economy, regardless of whether they live in that region.
In a GUI environment that's irrelevant. People can double click any file and the graphical shell will execute the file by its absolute path.

I am moving towards the much more radical solution of blocking advertising supported sites entirely.

I am not against advertising in general. It doesn't bug me that there are ads for car dealerships on TV, but the flood of personal injury lawyer ads damages the perceived legitimacy of the government and social system. (As well as the many other ads that are not aimed at getting people to spend their own money but instead to get benefits such as the "Medicare Advantage" scam.)

Web advertising and other distractions (pop ins, "will you let this site make notifications?", Taboolah, Outbrain, "This web site uses cookies...", 20 email messages a day about IBM Cloud outages that didn't affect me, "GDPR is here and our policy has changed...") are immediately harmful in terms of cognitive load (lowers effective IQ,) stress, mistakes, missed appointments, opportunities, bills not paid on time because you had to delete 200 spam messages and accidentally deleted something important. That and the phone that never stops ringing with somebody who wants to lower my interest rates...

I think long term you are training your brain to not accept the cues that "something is important". After 20 or 30 years of that who knows what that will do you? (Whenever I show my wife something from a porno site she can't see the content in the midst of all the lurid and animated advertising.)

It is like Milo Yiannopoulos; it looks like communication but it is better to think about it as noise, static, or nerve gas.

They are very different companies culturally -- attract different kinds of people. MS is better in business, Google better in tech. In MS you would have to fight for the permission or space to make something better if its already bringing in enterprise money, where 'making better' could mean well known bugs with possibly easy fixes. At Google it used to be ok to make something better to scratch one's itch, or just because it really ought to be better.
Why Hackers Rarely Get Rich Quich
The Rise of Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning in IT Security
The fantastic featured bit on the accenting aside, in the full video he breaks down a possible model for the way Shakespeare played with iambic pentameter. He turns it almost in to sheet music; you know the time signature by way of the meter, and any difference between the expected notes (syllables) and actual notes are almost as on to rests; pauses in the music that the actors may fill with other means of communication. But fascinatingly, instructed pauses, communicated by the writer, rather than the director or the actor. I find this absolutely fascinating; the amount of extra information and nuance and immense complexity that a few simple rules and constraints over a system can generate. If we take this model to be true, suddenly the communication becomes that much clearer, and that much more concise, both between the writer and his players, and the players and their audience, and the by proxy again the writer.

What an excellent presentation.
I mean, it clearly does. The US is in the top 10 in terms of Human Development Index, above the U.K., France, Spain, and Italy. Germany is the only large, economically and geographically diverse European country that beats the U.S.
High yes but 8.95% is the marginal rate for incomes over 413,350/yr. The median income (according to recent census data) is 57k/yr. On a 100k you would pay something like 5% to Vermont.

$413,350+	8.95%

Two points of context:

1. I have a friend with a well performing Udemy course and he's doing about the same price/unit sale as you are. I think it's just a volume thing.

2. Udemy courses are so inexpensive and as a result does it matter if there are a few duds? Again from the stats my friend shared, about 80% of the people buying the course don't even start it.
Is anyone dealing with 3rd party script/image loads at all? I just loaded a bunch of different major websites while watching the network tab in Firefox, and there wasn't a single site that didn't load ads and other assets from 3rd party domains. And that's before the "do you accept cookies?" prompt, assuming they have one at all. On most sites, it seems like it would be easier to list the advertising networks that aren't used than to list the ones that are used.
As long as you don't care about your privacy. Everything going through a third party VPN is yet another app that has access to your data.

With the built in web and web view ad blocking framework on iOS, the ad blocking app doesn't see your browsing history. It installs a JSON file that Safari uses to know what content to block.

It's not a complete system wide solution but it does protect your privacy.
The real question is why you used Google Fonts in the first place. You're telling me downloading another megabyte (or more) of stock fonts — no actual corporate branding — is worth both your and my time? Yeah, no. Stick to core fonts which actually work and render well within the UA, or bring your own custom branded fonts, but don't bother me with half-baked stock fonts.

The same question for using random-js-library from googleapis.com: You're trying to tell me that giving Google (and anyone who somewhere between me and them takes control of that domain) full arbitrary code execution privileges within your origin is worth saving a one-off download of some JS library? I don't think so.
Could this be a Pro vs Home thing?
I think that's unlikely, as there are too many internal services within corporate networks that will never show up in the global DNS. Google would rather people use Chrome at work.
Well, designing a language (even a mathematical one) is an art, and you need to trade off measures of convenience. The mathematical axioms that define division by zero to be equal to zero are consistent and so "correct" (if unconventional), and it turns out to be more convenient to define things in this way in those particular formalisms (rather than having to prove each time that you're not zero). You can define different theories in those systems that leave zero outside the domain of division or define it to be some value that means "undefined", but that's how it's done in the default arithmetical theories in those languages (and, BTW, Isabelle/HOL is not based on dependent types; Coq and Lean are). Other proof systems, like TLA+, do it differently.

For a recent discussion about this on the Isabelle mailing list, see here https://lists.cam.ac.uk/pipermail/cl-isabelle-users/2018-Mar... (search for 1/0)
