maps can be implemented with 1 array and 1 map, with the keys being the hash of the object. the hash function should probably be written in the Json itself for completeness.

Socrates was not leader at that moment, he was killed. The regime at time was authoritarian and its leaders killed a lot of other people too.

None of those other deaths created just society - the violent and corrupted people stayed in power till they were topped by other violence. (Or in case of communism regime remained violent till it died dozens years after for different reasons).

I don't know when deeply thinking political and logical philosiphers were supposed to rule. I also don't think it would necessary imply just or fair society. It might end like cruel but effective society too with strong entrenched power structure.

None of what you said actually justifies this to a developer. Microsoft may claim "developers, developers, developers" but when it came to mobile, they screwed the platform not once but twice.

Trust has two main dimensions in my view, compassion and competence. Microsoft was not competent enough to have a surviving platform in the face of iOS or Android... even though they had roughly a 8 year lead.

That doesn't earn my trust.

Checking the prices on their site, I'm not sure where the article's author got his figures from. The price for a spec-identical set of earrings is nearly 7x what I paid six months ago. If you're ever in the market for diamonds, never ever ever go to a retail outfit. If they advertise, stay away. Ask around - someone will always know a private jeweler that works solely on referrals, and it will save you a ton. They also frequently have more personalized service and coverage for what you buy.
It is somewhat perplexing that such a rule had to be written down. Just, wow. I'm assuming many of the other rules are of comparable quality?

Glad to hear things are at least projected to improve. If you have recommended links for where to track progress, I'd be game. I worry that many rules in basically invisible sectors need regulation for basic adherence. Self adherence typically sounds suspiciously naive. That said, I think trying to shine that light is more promising than just widening the net for where corruption could be with equally naive regulations. That is, I do prefer this over jumping straight to regulations.

I get it, its the way this industry works. Build up a solid product, grow the user base, continue to lose money until you sell the business and cash out.

I'm not against the company or the founders making money. This is America after all. What is disappointing to me and others in the open source community is that we have zero say over something that we helped build.

This sale to Microsoft is just another reason why we need something new, a new system that can be owned by individuals and not corporations. I would love to see something where the developers and users actually have a stake in what happens, and can in turn profit from it as well.

I do not associate it with Gnome3 but I have to ask (as I am not longer a desktop Linux user), do they still rewrite every system utility every couple of releases? Back when Fedora Core was a thing, they rewrote the GUI utilities every couple of releases, without actually improving them from what I could tell. And despite installing a binary distribution, they insisted on writing these in Python with bindings to the in-fashion GUI library (typically GTK). This meant the utilities were dog slow and generally very poor. Why not write a compiled binary? Didn't make sense to me.

Do they still do that?

It is a spectacular proof of concept, but it's not exactly game-changing in any way that will revolutionize cancer care around the world in the near future. This was incredibly labor- and capital-intensive procedure that involved extracting tumor material, sequencing its genes, determining which main mutations appear in the material, finding immune cells that attack that specific mutation, replicating those immune cells, and then injecting them into the patient. Since most cancers carry unique or nearly-unique mutations, this treatment would need to be tailor-made for every single patient, meaning its use would only be limited to those with a lot of resources.

> but you're using an overly-broad brush

No, not really.

If you notice people working - say, construction - in a particular way, and they're trading safety for speed, and if you weren't concerned with worker-safety, you might consider that tradeoff their business. If you also found that it led them to build buildings that overlapped other people's properties, you might note that the tradeoffs they choose might also lead to that problem.

Especially if you notice that other construction firms are making the same sorts of tradeoffs and also having the same problems.

I'm not saying that firms who "move fast and break things" are inevitably also unethical, shitty companies. Everyone sacrifices QA depth for release at some point. But there's nothing wrong with pointing out many high-profile companies who trumpet their pride of it are, in fact, unethical, shitty companies.

My wife and I lived in a small town about 20-30 minutes from the nearest major city. This was enough, for us, to significantly change our eating habits. There was a nearby small-town grocery/post office/liquor store where you could grab small things, but if you needed anything beyond the basics, you had to make a trip into the city. When it's a 1hr round trip, you're not just going to go grab McDonalds, especially when there was shitty weather. It was great, and I'm going to be trying to re-adopt that soon when I start working from home again. (She had to commute to town for work when we were out there, I didn't... which is why she was way more interested in moving into the city than I was :))

That’s fine, at first blush at least, as long as they stay out of my way.

But their MO is to buy up companies people like or love and run them into the ground, then replace them with a Me Too product that is just enough different that getting out is challenging. To the rest of us that’s indistinguishable from destroying the competition and reducing options.

And here they are buying a company people like, having recently killed off others.

I can't tell if it's astroturfing (e.g. WE/Waggener Edstrom - that PR firm actually had to change their name because they were so tightly connected with a negative/abusive kind of PR) or millennials (who were small kids in the 90s).

The PR they get Gates to perform on reddit is incredibly successful there. It's disgusting to look at.
Several key pieces of Edge are open source, such as Chakra Core, which is the JS engine (like Chromium's V8), and more are expected.

The argument IE6 was that the web grew too stagnant with a single dominant web renderer. If we all agree that the Web is a better place with multiple competing web renderers, why wish the death of the Edge renderer when it and Firefox are all that are standing in the way (and barely by latest metrics) of forks from the KHTML/WebKit/Blink family dominating?
Funny I hadn't heard of this before, but I grew up with BLS Pascal (which is small but very capable). Wirth's most recent iteration on the theme is Oberon [1] and the compiler is quite small and digestible (one file for each the lexer, parser, and codegen respectably). With a less verbose syntax, this could be a nice language :)

How to Keep Cyberbullies Out of Your Life
While I'm not familiar with UK law, in US law that would be open and shut if the reason he refused them the room was specifically because they were gay. It would be similar to if this baker refused to sell the couple anything because of their sexuality, which is not the case. He immediately offered to sell them anything already in the shop or to even create custom goodies for showers/birthdays/etc. But he would not create a product to endorse a view he found offensive.

And that's the major issue. Under freedom of speech you cannot be compelled by the state to endorse things you find distasteful, and cake creation is reasonably qualified as an expression of speech. By contrast, I do not think one could argue that giving somebody the keys to a room is any sort of expression.
IoT Penetesting && IoT Security 101 – Extensive List of Resources
It’s understandable that a lot of people are mad at microsoft. It used to be the big bad wolf vs open source. Where the open source side would go on and on about how much more value it provided and how in then end Microsoft would fail horribly and GNU/Linux would rule. And at some point along the way Microsoft just jumped on the wagon, suddenly chanting the same pro open source slogans, fighting the sameness cause. But no blood was spilled, Linux didn’t destroy Windows and Microsoft never seemed to tank. It left a void in many people who are just not ready to accept that Microsoft judges only on their actions today is a huge supporter of open source software. The zeolots wanted to beat them, not convince them.

Let's be optimistic, but cancer is a very broad and difficult problem. Many treatments are overhyped by the press office of the hospital/university.

The article has a few good cautious warning, in particular:

> But experts caution that the treatment has only proved itself in one woman and that the clinical trials are needed to see how effective the therapy could be in other cancer patients.

Glass is a terrible diamond simulant. Even very specialised lead crystal glass has far lower refraction and dispersion than diamond, giving a dull gemstone with little fire. It's also far softer than diamond and quickly becomes dull and scratched with wear.

Synthetic moissanite (silicon carbide) is optically superior to diamond at drastically lower cost. Even to an untrained eye, moissanite has visibly superior brightness and fire. Cubic zirconia is optically comparable to diamond and ludicrously cheap. Moissanite is only marginally softer than diamond and cubic zirconia is comparable in hardness to topaz, emerald and spinel.
If larger companies (eg. Stripe) would put more effort into improving Crystal instead of improving Ruby, Crystal would absolutely blow Ruby out of the water. Instead we get improvements to Ruby because larger companies have larger codebases and don't want to refactor everything all at once. They'd rather slowly add type annotations to their Ruby codebase until eventually it's all done. I get it, it's better from a business perspective short term. In the long term, Crystal would be able to run at least hundreds of times faster than Ruby.

Wall Street, Hedge Funds Add Social Media to Research Menu
This appears to be an API to integrate Facebook chrome and functionality into a mobile OS UI;

> “An Apple spokesman said the company relied on private access to Facebook data for features that enabled users to post photos to the social network without opening the Facebook app, among other things. Apple said its phones no longer had such access to Facebook as of last September.

...

> Usher Lieberman, a BlackBerry spokesman, said in a statement that the company used Facebook data only to give its own customers access to their Facebook networks and messages. Mr. Lieberman said that the company “did not collect or mine the Facebook data of our customers,” adding that “BlackBerry has always been in the business of protecting, not monetizing, customer data.”

> Microsoft entered a partnership with Facebook in 2008 that allowed Microsoft-powered devices to do things like add contacts and friends and receive notifications, according to a spokesman. He added that the data was stored locally on the phone and was not synced to Microsoft’s servers.”

The story recounts how the BlackBerry Facebook view could... not surprisingly in any way... render your Facebook friends’ information which you are supposed to be able to access.

But the NYT apparently thinks this is nefarious in some way.

> “The Hub also requested — and received — data that Facebook’s policy appears to prohibit. Since 2015, Facebook has said that apps can request only the names of friends using the same app. But the BlackBerry app had access to all of the reporter’s Facebook friends and, for most of them, returned information such as user ID, birthday, work and education history and whether they were currently online.

> The BlackBerry device was also able to retrieve identifying information for nearly 295,000 Facebook users. Most of them were second-degree Facebook friends of the reporter, or friends of friends.”

...How the hell else do you suppose the UI was rendering your Facebook Feed?! Maybe they thought BlackBerry used magic unicorns to render the Facebook UI components on their Hub view.

If only there was a term to describe when media sites write a non-story to stir up fake controversy by smearing a popular target...

No. That's not what counterfeiting is. Counterfeiting is creating imitation money to be passed off as the genuine article.

Hackers proclaiming "but it wasn't technically a breach" or "the API worked as intended" is 2018's edition of Great Recession bankers' "the counterparty should have known it was our business to screw them" or "it isn't our job to diligence the mortgages".
