The acquisition target is 'Time Warner Inc.', primarily a television and film company, whose products and subvisions include HBO and Cinemax, the TV networks CNN, TBS, Turner Classic Movies, TNT, and various joint ventures with US sports leagues, and Warner Bros, which now includes DC Comics/DC Entertainment. Meanwhile, AT&T is largely a telecom and satellite broadcast company, which under its various subsidiaries offers bulk telecom interconnect, and satellite television, and is a wired and wireless ISP.

Therefore, this sounds more like vertical integration of an infrastructure-and-ISP company buying a media company in much the same vein as Comcast acquiring full ownership of NBCUniversal in 2013, or Verizon acquiring AOL -- which in 2001 bought Time Warner, then AOL got spun out in 2009 -- and Yahoo.
Haskell is a proving ground, so it's picked up a number of ideas that never quite panned out.

I think you can identify a core set of features that are pretty reasonable. I think that'd be type classes, constraints, and functional dependencies.

If they made a handful of extensions standard (GADTs, etc.) it would mostly Do What You Want without a lot of prodding.

> And from Java I know that there's a pretty trivial example that showcases how its Generics implementation is unsound when mixed with inheritance.

I'd be curious to see that. There's a well known limitation that mutable containers (and they're all mutable in Java) need to be invariant, but that doesn't make them unsound.

The type system was also already unsound due to covariant arrays and nulls being a member of all classes, but if you don't break those rules or disable checks, Java generics work as far as I can tell. By "work", I mean I've yet to get a ClassCastException in a fair amount of work with some gnarly Java generics.

And, really, 99% of the boilerplate in Java's typing is that you can't declare aliases for types; that seems to be more due to engrained hostility to syntactic sugar than any technical difficulty.

> So, is there any version that just works, and never leads the user down any rabbit holes?

Most of the "gradual typing" projects for languages like Javascript, Python, Ruby all seem to accomplish what you're looking for, by virtue of the fact that you can just ignore it when you don't want it.
I think it would not necessarily be insane to envision a system which hands off non-obvious regulatory cases to the legislature, to amend the law such that this and future cases could be trivially decided.
Exactly. Past performance is not everything but it certainly is a prerequisite for prediction the future.
Agreed, when you are on patch #4 because the previous patches weren't effective, and you can't verify patch #4 because of time constraints, it might be time to step back and reconsider the approach.

Sounds like they should just not be eval()ing user input regardless of how much sanitization they throw at it.
I’m surprised to hear that it’s not that common for your firm. Negotiating severance is common enough that e.g. when I talk to third party recruiting firms for hiring for my team, it’s one of the first questions they ask.

Large firms usually have a very low baseline severance plan calculated something like 1 week of pay for each year of tenure, and they may say in the handbook it is only offered on a discretionary basis at the time of termination.

But I’ve always had no problem negotiating a customized severance package regardless of whether a firm had that sort of policy, especially because severance should fairly reflect compensation for any time or opportunity costs an employee might endure due to a non-compete agreement, etc., which means usually it should be at least several months of salary and possibly continuation of benefits (e.g. not externalizing that cost to the employee through COBRA but actually continuing to pay their premiums for a set amount of months).

Huge companies are harder to convince of this, and in that case I was able to negotiate the severance amount to instead be paid as a sign-on bonus, so that saving the money to cover costs in the event of being terminated was my responsibility, but the company still agreed to pay for it.
You can treat SQL code as any other code and version your schema with git. Migrations can be handled with https://sqitch.org, and you can also reduce some of the work with https://www.apgdiff.com that will generate CREATE OR REPLACE function statements for you.

Also have to mention that when using PostgREST we encourage you to decouple your data schema(where your tables are) from your api schema(only views, stored procedures, computed columns), that way you can version your schemas(having "v1" schema, "v2", etc) and prevent breaking changes.

FWIW, I'm a woman and I'm a big fan of singular they.

It is also possible to avoid pronouns altogether at times. It's more work to both do that and not sound stilted and weird. I have made my peace with occasionally sounding stilted, such as A fund manager can be as risky as a fund manager likes.

When I had a corporate job, some training examples advocated finding ways to rewrite the sentence to sanitize it of gender rather than using awkward constructions like he or she. It's more work, but if you do it habitually it gets easier.
Looks and sounds very much like 'yawn'.
The original poster appears to be confusing revenue and profit. Also, the math is imprecise or incorrect - 400,000 cars sold at $100,000 each would be $40 billion.

In lieu of profits, is there any way to use revenue to estimate a company's valuation?

Tesla has $28.6 billion in assets, according to NASDAQ[0], yet their market cap is nearly twice that. Is that a normal ratio?

Similar statements (which I am not historian enough to judge the accuracy of) regarding the Chinese and the Mongols. The Mongols won militarily, and were turned into a culturally Chinese empire, in the east at least. Again, I am not historian enough to say if this is accurate, but it is a common assertion.
Sounds dangerous? Perhaps it's more dangerous to "live in a bubble" and believe only the latest NYT-bestseller fashion diets.

I have two words for you: Mediterranean Diet. Before thinking that this paleo/keto stuff is the best possible, please take it with a grain of salt and try to understand the whole.

I am not an expert (even if I consider myself very well educated on nutrition and diets), and I am not saying you're wrong. What I say is: be careful when telling someone "it's dangerous" when, in fact, it's really hard to have a definitive answer to almost any diet you can encounter.
I am guessing that by "out into the world" you mean primarily into a human-made / urban / artificial built environment with other people in it, as opposed to out into the natural world (i.e. wilderness), which I think many would argue could be the most ideal setting for the types of experiences that you're discussing.
The standard side of things is just that DOM Elements have a JS interface with properties. That there are many ways to set properties on JS objects, with template systems being just one of many.

I'm not sure that HTML itself will get a standard way to set properties, even with the Template Instantiation proposal. Encoding the intent to set a property is hard given that all valid attribute names are already valid attribute names, and could have current semantics. Adding new support for currently invalid attribute names sounds like a very difficult thing to do.

This can stay at the level of opinionated libraries. You learn how to use that library and it's method for setting properties, and you don't have to worry about other components choices for templating.
If it is "just send a copy" of course it's not that onerous. But you intentionally framed it in the most simple sounding way. I understand the benefit of centralized hubs, I just also understand that governments are rarely good at building them. At the very least it's a concern worth noting instead of pretending everything will be perfect. I'd rather the law just stay with rules and move towards required centralization as needed. For your lab, it sounds like you'd leverage an optional system by choice.

Good! Car rental services pay taxes for each vehicle they sell and an (implied) per-mile tax from gas taxes. They are also banned from sidewalks.

Um... don't hold your breath. I think you're going to be waiting a long time for that one.

Why would I need to re-implement what is already there?
I only recently started looking at upgrading from angularjs to angular and web components were one of the things that made me question the emporer's clothes..

Zone js implements zones and by that they apparently mean exactly 1 zone.. making a supposed abstraction where you can't safely add 2 implementations of web components (or apps?) to 1 page without planning for that with 1 global setup for them..

My initial impression of shadow DOM is that I would get the same scope separation as iframes with a nicer method of passing data and describing the layout.. Then I assumed web components were this missing piece finally implemented.. now I'm wondering if I completely misjudged and everyone else really wanted a complicated footgun where seeming builtins are colliding with your namespace?

But similar achievements are routinely made in other industries.

You're applying generalizations to specifics. It is true that other industries have seen order-of-magnitude cost reductions. The companies that bring those innovations are frequently (and correctly) celebrated (see Henry Ford, et al.). SpaceX is that company in this industry, which has otherwise been stagnant for generations. Add to this the fact that space exploration has been aspirational and charismatic as a industry, and you have your justification.

I'm not pushing for a world without governments and law enforcement.
You may not need it, but I am thankful that it now exists.

You may be happy with centralized services such as banks and credit cards. But those institutions are vulnerable to intimidation and so proved unsuitable for pot growers in Colorado and for Wikileaks.

In the cases of Wikileaks and Colorado pot farmers, they angered a government, even if many other governments (and the state of Colorado) supported them. So it's not about being some bad-ass who fights all forms of government. It's about pushing the boundaries enough that somebody powerful may choose to intimidate your financial provider. Given the number of powerful entities in the world with conflicting world-views, if you're doing anything interesting, you may run afoul of one of them.

Even if you personally will never use trustless money, having it exist in the world is making you a little bit more free.

Wait, really? The language designers gave themselves (effective) generics and then kicked down the ladder afterwards so that other container implementers couldn't follow? That's hilarious.
This is often true, but there is a certain power to it when your doctor prescribes it and where you, at least temporarily, treat it as medicine. Often times severely depressed people need help doing small things: taking a shower each day, taking a 5 minute walk. But less depressed people or people trying to prevent relapse may be able to keep up a more rigorous schedule.

I have a NodeJS app running on flex that I always thought was a little pricey, so I'll probably move it to standard.

However, I do have one question.

My app server currently polls another external endpoint periodically and does something based on the results. If I move it to standard will this still work? I assume not since it can scale to zero.
With Java I assume you mean that you can create two arrays that are subtypes of each other if their contents are subtypes? i.e., `int[] < double[]`, or `Subclass[] < Superclass[]`?

If so, this is known wrong in the programming language theory community. Java just gets this wrong; if you remove it, generics in Java work correctly, I think.

How to Run Unity3d on Amazon Cloud or Without Monitor
Thank you, that's a very nice thing to say. Over the years I've come to respect Stallman's way of viewing things more and more.

The open web is worth fighting for. And Google is moving into new territory now, by deciding to force sites to switch to HTTPS. Most of the arguments you hear are about new sites, but people are missing that the web has been used for 25 years as an archiving medium. If you want to save something so it's available for others (and yourself too) in the future, put it on the web. It's been incredibly stable platform, far more so than the ones run by the tech industry, and precisely because it isn't run by the tech industry.

That's about to change.

Read the original post. Today's post is just a continuation of that one.

I'm not a big RSS guy, but when I read an article on that before, what I understand happened is:

1. RSS readers everywhere

2. Google comes out with one

3. Other RSS readers wither on the vine b/c everyone uses #2

4. Google decides to sunset their RSS reader.

5. ???

Is that wrong?
No hard numbers, but here are some estimates:

http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/03/google-reader-data-...

While CNN and Engadget had 24M and 7M RSS subscribers (which include Google Reader), the numbers drop quickly, with the 3rd one having 1.7M (NYT).

Also, apparently the Google Reader Android app had <5M downloads at time of shutdown.

Given that distribution and how fast it drops, I'd expect Reader to have had a couple million daily active users at time of shutdown, a tiny drop in the Internet & Google ocean.

And you can go around and ask people who don't work in tech: nobody will have heard of Google Reader.

If you are looking for a dependable, scalable, closed-source option, check out http://www.comet.ml (the thing I work on).

The focus with Comet.ml is more on experiment tracking and hyperparameter optimization rather than model deployment. We make it very easy to compare your experiments results, code, and hashed datasets for better reproducibility.

We have a one-line integration with your existing machine learning code and make it stupid simple to start tracking your experiments.

All you do is:

> import comet_ml
> experiment = Experiment(api_key="MY_API_KEY")

_boom_

Comet.ml supports many libraries (keras, tensorflow, scikit-learn, custom-built code spaghetti, and everything else that makes you a ML wizard/unicorn/armored flaming hippopotamus).

I'm curious what types of workouts you're doing. If they're that terrible (hot, humiliating and uncomfortable) you would likely benefit from scaling or changing entirely the movements you're doing. I say that knowing full well that the concept of designing a workout can be overwhelming and intimidating.

I recommend to friends that are starting a workout routine to first focus on finding something active that they enjoy doing and can keep at it. Rock climbing, running, lifting etc. Don't make it terrible and don't set expectations, just have fun with it.

My 2 cents is I love Crossfit. The coach-run sessions are about as close as you can get to a trainer without having to pay for a trainer. Plus the constant variation solved my challenges with "workout design". Anyway, that's what works for me but I believe there's something out there for everybody. Just keep it chill in the beginning and focus more on building a routine than results. 3 days of exercise a week is a win!

Seems to me like an approach that would take even longer to implement than Hurd did.
Yes!

Funnily enough, the fact that equity grants are "options" to purchase stock at a strike price less than the real share price is much less valuable than the optionality you describe of continuing working to earn the rest of a stock grant after more information is known.
