Of course it’s an attack on Google Maps, and that’s a good thing. People should be happy to have Microsoft’s help in fighting Google because Google is much scarier than Microsoft these days.
I wonder what was actually stolen.

I hope this is not the reason why Jawbone is undergoing liquidation and Fitbit IPOed.(I'm sure there are many more reasons, but it'd be shocking these stolen trade secrets were contributing factors).
Microsoft is big in the public sector in Europe, as in, really really big. Open street map is big in the public sector in Europe, as in really really big.

It’s probably not related, but who knows.

How's the GC in D like recently? I tried to use D around 5 years ago, and the key showstopper was its poor GC implementation. Even worse, it was practically impossible to disable GC then.

I literally acknowledged this point:

> Obviously if a company isn't selling product with OSX installed it's different

> Obviously it's legal to sell computers that are compatible with OS X

Never said it wasn't. Only that most companies wouldn't market their product's alternative illegal uses, as that puts them in a gray area. (Almost every product can be used for illegal purposes after all)

Google can't file criminal charges, only federal prosecutors can.
What's the chance that we'll find out, even vaguely, what was allegedly stolen?
There are Republicans who agree with you on healthcare. Let's not forget that Obama's ACA was a rehash of Romneycare. There are Republicans in favor of gay marriage. The attorneys in US v Windsor, which overturned the Defense of Marriage Act signed into law by Bill Clinton, were Republicans.

There are Republicans who support charity, a strong social safety net, and taking care of their friends and neighbors.
Interesting. How would the federal prosecutor have found out about these people? Jawbone must have initiated in some way.
Opensource deadmans switch
I see a few deadman switch services. But didnt find any quick easy open source ones since I dont necessarily trust those sites.
I have just tried it and I can't really tell that it is non native since I don't expect games to be native anyway.

I do see that the buttons don't align with what the OS displays but that's ok for a game.

What I do see however is that it performs VERY poorly on my Pixel 2. Which is pretty surprising considering there is not much going on on the screen.

Not a major hindrance for this kind of game, but still very noticeable.
One of the issues with this semi-official statement has been that everyone in the media is reporting it as SEC's official position. Example [1]

Even though the print on SEC.gov[2] clearly states:

This speech expresses the author’s views and does not necessarily reflect those of the Commission, the Commissioners or other members of the staff.

And hence, the absurdity follows.

On the question of the word - decentralization. Time and again it has been proven that major blockchain's hashing/voting powers are in hands of select few. Example ghash.io has crossed more than 51% hashing on bitcoin network couple of times. So, it is going to be interesting on what exactly is decentralization and how many people does it take before a blockchain is truly decentralized.

Google is scarier than Microsoft was even in its peak. Google controls most of the world's information, can shape thoughts with search algorithms, can destroy businesses (including competitors) with changes in ad policies, bid processes and search algorithms. Microsoft at its peak could threaten suppliers and some competitors...Google can practically destroy any company/person in any vertical if it so chose.

OP can go to conference, in his/her "own time". OP is an adult and does not need an OK from manager to go to the conference in his/her private life.

But, OP cannot expect the manager to give the OK. OP is not "entitled" to an automatic OK. The manager does not owe OP an OK.

According to this data from Statistica, https://i.imgur.com/Sbp9oCX.png (I do not have a paid account so I cannot view the source), Fitbit's market share is ridiculously large compared to jawbone, who have decreased from 19% to next to nothing. This is both due to new players and an increasing number of fitness trackers sold.
What do you mean by perfectly acceptable Unix-like?

As I said, the kernel is Unix-like, but you can’t run ls, cat, grep, vi, and so on.

Also, what do you mean by “Darwin” ? iOS shares a kernel with Darwin, but is it based on it in any other way?

AArch32 is about as compilcated as x86 to decode. About 1200 instructions with dozens of different encodings, and instructions that aren't aligned to instruction width and can straddle a page and cache line boundary.
Plus, splashy articles now get more reads than articles written when the official investigation is complete and everyone is reporting it. And speculation now makes all the readers feel like insiders.

This bug:
https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/1121

raised over a year ago(!) is really interesting. It seems like many of the downloads may have been malicious - the author of the malicious images was scanning for open docker api ports and then installing their own images to mine cryptocurrency.

So they're essentially using docker as a dropper. Clever, in a way.
>Time and again it has been proven that major blockchain's hashing/voting powers are in hands of select few.

Incorrect, miners produce blocks that follow users' consensus rules. Users do not follow miners' blocks. No amount of bitcoin hashing can get bcash users to run bitcoin and vice versa.

This is just fantastic advice!

Edit to add:
If you're wondering why your supervisor might be reticent to allow you to talk I can think of a couple of potential reasons.
- They're worried you'll unintentionally leak something
- They're worried you'll get hired
- They're threatened by you
- They want you focused

.... But the easiest way to find out is just to ask.
Exactly. The title is pretty bad. All they are doing is displaying the data in one particular editor. It's like displaying google streetmaps in another window when you edited open streetmaps - there is no "contribution" of data at all.
It should be noted that some of the reports talk about the Docker API being publicly accessible over the internet which allowed people to run containers on their machines. This is actually not the worst thing that could have happened -- having access to the Docker API gives you root access on that machine without any authentication!

(One of the ideas of rootless containers is to remove the possibility of any privileged codepath, which helps eliminate this issue.)
There is no "perhaps" about npm, it is absolutely a shit show. It's like the creators went out of their way to build an ecosystem of security nightmares.

>And yet some of them got the surgeries and some didn’t, so it’s unclear if the control was adequate.

It is what it is. The documented evidence suggests that the medical histories of the two groups diverged strongly at the moment of surgery.

It is possible that the decision to have surgery depended primarily upon an arbitrary judgment of the surgeon, in which case the randomization is adequate.

It is also possible that the pre-surgery health of the two groups diverged in a way that was not well-documented in the medical record, in which case the control is inadequate.

However, this latter possibility is still not flattering to the medical community. If the conclusion of the study is even possibly correct, it raises a serious question of why such a flimsy paper trail accompanied such a momentous cost-benefit decision in the lives of these children.
Half up front (at least). Taking a deposit cuts your risk and weeds out people who never intended to pay you anyway. Counterintuitively, raising your rates will yield better clients as well.
You don't need to like them, just continue to hold the stock you bought when Ballmer stepped down. It will probably be obvious when it's time to sell.
Context is very important here. Have you always been denied for every talk? How frequently are you planning these talks and does it impact you work? Is there any trade secret/ IP the manager is concerned about? Is the company paying for everything and if so what are you giving back?
This is a BS attempt by Jawbone's management to screw over a former competitor by going after their employees. As if any of these "trade secrets" are the reason Jawbone is in liquidation. A federal indictment?? Are you kidding me?

I would bet the reason Jawbone went this route is because their lawyers properly informed them that California's right to work laws would have a civil case thrown out in no time. So now we have a bunch of feds involved who need to reach their quarterly quota of prosecutions and these poor employees are going to go broke defending themselves in court.

Everyone at Jawbone can seriously go to hell.
Search for "google pixelbook crossover" where someone from that team has a little blog post example talking about it. Oh wait, I can post links on hacker news :-) https://www.codeweavers.com/about/blogs/duboisj/2018/6/12/cr...
Replies with the most upvotes are at the top. That generally filters out the BS. There is a date posted versus upvote count balance that needs to be reached, but ML is not required.

And this all assumes you're trying to have conversation around someone with many many followers. If you're in a small circle, none of your argument applies.

Further posts by the original poster are at the top too.

Yes, you may have to filter through some posts on your own. If you plan on having a conversation with Obama, good luck. And for good reason.

But I don't want Twitter Inc filtering for me. Essentially upvoting and downvoting comments based on their algorithm. Sorry.

At least give users the choice to use their ML algorithm or not. I'd even pay to have it turned off or to tweak how I see my timeline.

So I don't follow.
I still see both React and Angular as extremely compelling choices. This website merely turns Vue into another viable choice. However, I sent this link to a PM who I frequent for feedback on pet projects (smart colleague, lots of valuable dissent).

In a nutshell, I'm trying to turn <something> into a bare-bones HTML page. We currently use an XML document interpreter that was written in 2006; with performance woes and maintainability woes abound. Transpiling to JS neatly solves this.

I started off with my own Angular-like template language, for which this PM correctly scolded me: people will need to learn it. He indicated that I should just use Angular - but the problem is that Angular is opinionated and at odds with this legacy system that I'm trying to clean up. I struggled for at least a week and I dropped for good reasons. I had a discussion with him last Friday and suggested Vue (as it is far closer in execution model when compared to what I am trying to solve): "what's Vue? We shouldn't use niche frameworks, people will need to learn that." Now I have an answer to that :).

Lots of good advice here already. Some of what's below repeats what others have said. The main thing is avoid becoming homeless. I can't stress that enough. However, if you really can't do that, then here's some advice:

1.) Don't Panic!

You're about to have an adventure. Make it fun. You're not crazy, you don't have face tattoos(?), you've got skills. You won't be homeless for long, if at all. Keep your attitude in check.

2.) Head West before Winter!

If you're still out and about by then (unlikely) do not mess with that Colorado Winter. Brrr! Come out here to CA, OR, or WA. I didn't used to believe in seasons, not really. Growing up I saw them on TV, of course, but they were something that happened to other people, like tiger attacks. I spent a Winter in CO once. Once. Fuck that.

3.) Go camping.

You can camp for free in National Forests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:National_Forests_of_C... This is a huge country and much of it belongs to you. Take advantage of that.

4.) It's really hard to starve in America.

I mean it's really fucking hard. There are food banks, Churches, and other places that serve meals or give away food. Usually there's a list that you can get from a local homeless aid group or something. We throw away huge amount of food too, I know there are "freegans" in CO.

5.) Ask for help.

You're doing that here, now, but keep it up and ask everywhere and everyone. Being too proud is a stupid way to stay homeless. You've got to have some friends or family, eh? If my friend had no place to go and didn't ask me for help (that I'd be glad to give) I'd be pretty sad when I found out.

6.) Avoid drugs and drug users.

You cannot trust a meth-head. At all. They will steal your stuff and sell it to get drugs. Don't let them in your car, don't let them watch your bag while you pee, etc. No matter how nice or cool they seem, nor how much they seem to have their shit together you cannot trust a meth-head.

One weird idea: Consider starting a blog so we can all follow along and root for you and send help. ;-)

If Twitter ever moves to a fully algorithmic timeline like Instagram (has annoying done), it will shrivel up and die. The linear timeline of Twitter is what makes Twitter....Twitter. I've noticed a lot lately that more and more I see tweets out of order because of the algorithms. I believe you can turn that off, but sometimes those are useful...but more often they are spam in the moment, especially if a big story has broken. I feel like it used to only occur when you first opened up Twitter, you'd see old highlights...now it feels like it's intertwined more...it's very annoying. Twitter is, by far, the most powerful and useful social media platform out there for information...I sure hope they aren't going to strangle it to death.
Better than most, I guess.
of course we live a lot longer than people used to on average. would be interesting to measure how much is from treating problems along the way, vs more healthy hygiene vs childhood survival from sickness.
1. The less judgemental you are the more people you'll allow yourself to talk to.

2. Lots of people want to be talked to but they don't want to take the risk of approaching and getting rejected. Master the art of gracefully accepting rejection and you'll feel confident in approaching people.
The "taste zones" of the tongue misconception makes me the most angry. We were taught this in school. I remember having to color in areas of the tongue.

And yet any of us could've very easily disproven this and it doesn't correspond to our experienced reality and yet we all believed it because we had be taught it in school.
Not sure if this is the same case, but Fitbit’s 10-K from a couple years back mentions an ongoing suit against them and some employees for the same thing.

I will say that Android performance, especially in recent RN releases, has been one of my biggest issues with RN.

Everything about the game is highly optimized and performs beautifully (60fps) on all 2013+ iOS devices, but inexplicably performs very poorly on even some very new Android devices. I think it has to do with problems with the Android driver for Native Animated.

Especially when you work in enterprise, and even more so when you work in public sector enterprise.

We’re using tech that’s outlived more fads than I can count, yet I’m still surprised when younger hires insists on using stuff that’s basically supported by one man.

I’ll admit JAVA almost made it to the list of techs we were going to have a conversation about in the late 00s, but these days it’s as relevant as ever. So is C#.

The front end is nothing but terrible though. I trained a few of my employees to do angular, and then they had to relearn things with angular2. Maybe that’s not an issue for start ups where youngsters slave away in their free time, but it cost me roughly $60.000 in expenses and missed work to retrain our people.
I wonder to what extent "star count on github" reflects real world usage.
> The functional principle of a microwave oven is dielectric heating rather than resonance frequencies of water, and microwave ovens can therefore operate at many frequencies. Water molecules are exposed to intense electromagnetic fields in strong non-resonant microwaves to create heat. The 22 GHz resonant frequency of isolated water molecules has a wavelength too short to penetrate common foodstuffs to useful depths. The typical oven frequency of 2.45 GHz was chosen partly due to its ability to penetrate a food object of reasonable size, and partly to avoid interference with communication frequencies in use when microwave ovens became commercially available.

I was very surprised reading this because my school's textbook claimed that microwaves heat food using the resonant frequencies of water. This fact was drilled into our heads over the course of multiple tests. It's disappointing that millions of students every year still learn this incorrect explanation.
The headline doesn't seem to be about antidepressants.
Not arguing with you, just sincerely asking: how can Jawbone control what the DoJ does? They can claim a crime has been a committed, but that’s a long way off from actual indictments getting handed down.
Presumably things that change weekly like that would be the chief candidates for such a list.
I've been using react-native-navigation from Wix. The documentation is a little sparse but so far I've gotten it to do everything I need it to do.
Any plans to fix the hundreds of build warnings RN causes and the broken configuration settings that make parallel builds impossible? Huge pain points in our hybrid native/RN app.
Thanks for the advice. I've been trying to improve communication on my end but somehow I feel it has not improved. Given the power dynamics in a manager/report relationship, I feel that with certain managers its more difficult to get on the same page.
> React also has more than 4x as many dependent packages in npm, which could be propping up its install count.

I don't think this would do anything. If you have three packages that depend on React, you still only install it once. If anything, the number of packages that depend on React is an indication of its popularity.

> Microwave ovens do not cook food from the inside out. 2.45 Ghz microwaves can only penetrate approximately 1 centimeter (0.39 in) into most foods. The inside portions of thicker foods are mainly heated by heat conducted from the outer portions.

I think the main reason this myth persists is stuffed/filled food items such as pizza rolls, burritos, Pop Tarts, Hot Pockets, etc.. With these, there's typically an outer layer that is thermally insulating and lower-density, while the filling is more thermally conductive and higher-density (water/fat). This means that even if the temperature is uniform, the filling will be perceived as much hotter than the outer layer.

looks to be very similar story to Google/Lewandowski:

http://fortune.com/2017/02/07/jawbone-says-criminal-grand-ju...

"In the California lawsuit, Jawbone has accused Fitbit of hiring away at least five of its former employees, who it says brought with them hundreds of thousands of confidential files when they joined in 2015."

Looks like it was a smart move for Lewandowski when he took the 5th. These Jawbone/Fitbit employees seem to have chosen the other way:

https://www.fool.com/investing/2016/07/15/jawbone-and-fitbit...

"Fitbit says it never accessed any of the files in dispute, or used them for any of its products. The Fitbit employees in question did turn over 18,000 files to the California Superior Court that belonged to Jawbone."
