I really don't like the idea that it's good enough now since the headset block us. Technology innovation can come from every area. If others make better 360 cameras or players and exceed the 5K experience, they should not considered as "wasted" just because one kind of display headset doesn't meet the same level. I do like Oculus Go for its nice price and acceptable experience. But there are quite some headsets that perform better, at least capable to display 8K or even above, Vive Focus, Gear VR with S8 and S9, and the upcoming Pimax. So, please don't block others and ourselves on technology innovation! Eventually if we take human eyes as the ideal benchmark, we need to achieve 16K!
But would it be the gateway to heavier, and illegal/dangerous, drugs?
But nobody will. This is a common story in contractor arrangements---the big, unwritten benefit of the process is that all incentives are aligned to sweep small mistakes (1) under the rug. Contracting client doesn't want to jeopardize a good contract, contractee doesn't want to jeopardize their contract, and employee doesn't want to get fired and black-balled. Who cares if it's a little illegal? :(

(1) "Small" in relation to the whole contract deal; what's one employee's salary in a million-dollar agreement between two corporations?
Reminds me of Frank Herbert's ominous (fictional) prophecy:

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
Dick was thrilled with his first glimpse of Blade runner on TV. In October 1981, he wrote to the producers [1]:

I came to the conclusion that this indeed is not science fiction; it is not fantasy; it is exactly what Harrison said: futurism. The impact of BLADE RUNNER is simply going to be overwhelming, both on the public and on creative people -- and, I believe, _on science fiction as a field._ … Nothing that we have done, individually or collectively, matches BLADE RUNNER. This is not escapism; it is super realism, so gritty and detailed and authentic and goddam convincing that, well, after the segment I found my normal present-day "reality" pallid by comparison. What I am saying is that all of you collectively may have created a unique new form of graphic, artistic expression, never before seen. And, I think, BLADE RUNNER is going to revolutionize our conceptions of what science fiction is and, more, _can_ be.

… As for my own role in the BLADE RUNNER project, I can only say that I did not know that a work of mine or a set of ideas of mine could be escalated into such stunning dimensions. My life and creative work are justified and completed by BLADE RUNNER. Thank you...and it is going to be one hell of a commercial success. It will prove invincible.

I think you’re vastly overestimating how much people want to move here.

Furthermore, legal immigration would not lower wages. It’s the fact that we don’t provide a legalization process that allows people to charge under minimum wage.
They're actually trialing this feature.

I also think “will crypto ever be successful?” and “isn’t it just like the dot-com bubble?” are worth answering separately.

I’m pretty sure blockchain applications will emerge eventually and have wide usage.

But I also think crypto is more so where the Internet was in the late 70s than 90s. Except for the hype (the Internet wasn’t as hyped in 70s and 80s.)
There's no need for another build as BOLT runs directly on a compiled binary, and could be integrated into an existing build system. Operating directly on a machine code allows BOLT to boost performance on top of AutoFDO/PGO and LTO. Processing the binary directly requires a profile in a format different from what a compiler expects, as the compiler operates on source code and needs to attribute the profile to high-level constructs.
> WebAssembly lets you bypass Javascript - it should not be viewed as a license to build web apps that ignore user-defined shortcuts, don't work with screenreaders, aren't responsive on mobile, can't be customized with user-defined CSS, and that can't be scraped or automated in the browser.

At the risk of sounding dismissive of web technology, this describes virtually every web application I've seen. Many years ago (early 00s), I dreamed of a web that was exactly as you describe it, but what we have today is far from it.

If applications that don't overload user-defined key events (apparently, this year it's trendy to ignore Page Up and Page Down events because they break custom scrolling...), respond well to being customized with user-defined CSS, are easy to scrape and automate, and don't have entirely foreign and weird UI metaphors were a thing on the web, we certainly wouldn't have people clinging to native applications. But this really isn't the web we have.

What's left as an advantage for this model of running native UI code in a canvas is that at least you get native looks, as opposed to whatever the cheapest UX designer the company managed to hire cranked out on his sixth sleepless night in a row, and get to skip the boring installation, and get some free sandboxing with it.

It's definitely not great and it's far from what I hoped we'd have but I'm willing to take it over what we have now.
What does it have to do with easier immigration law? Whatever the law the USA wants to enact thats their right, of course. What they’re doing now are crimes. They need to stop performing these crimes. Microsoft and other USA tech companies need to pull the plug.
For me, it depends on the context. In a B2B transaction, my basic assumption is that the vendor will ensure that the goods are delivered, and will make things right if they fail.

In my personal life on the other hand, I'm regularly prompted at checkout to decide between registered post with insurance, or regular post without. If I opted out of insurance, I wouldn't blame the seller for the package not arriving or any damage (presuming of course that it was packaged appropriately), and I'd fully expect Paypal to resolve in their favour after verifying that the package was actually sent.

It's true that this would ruin the customer relationship which is why some businesses may offer to make things right anyway, but I personally wouldn't expect it.

That said, the consumer protection laws in my country (Australia) are fairly strong so I may well be entitled to redress; this is just my personal attitude.
The legal way to claim asylum is to do so from official points of entry.
I particularly support legalization to full extent of any recreative psychoactive drugs, even ones deemed evil.
Drug users are often more vulnerable to external factors not related to the drug itself, such as bad drug quality (drugs mixed with elements that are way more harmful to health), violence and diseases, which happens just because the illegal status.
Take crack for example, cheap and highly addictive. Users are more likely to die from external causes such as homicide or HIV infection than die from overdose [1].

Legalization would greatly reduce deaths caused by external factors and would free the government to actually take care of the addicts as they actually need.

On the other hand, antibiotics, which should be controlled tightly, gets overlooked.

The feeling of presence is so limited compared to realtime-rendered 3d spaces where you can move your head around from the central camera point even just a bit. Adding some artificial parallax shift to the movie frames might be enough to give it that extra oomph to feel truly immersive.
Implemeting queue-based call-backs with Asterisk and WombatDialer
On Gentoo, for a couple of years, I used an initramfs compiled into the kernel to boot via EFI_STUB with full disk encryption. It's possible. It's been a while. I don't remember it being very easy to wrangle. I don't use that laptop anymore, but I still boot via EFI_STUB on my desktop. It's super simple to set up when you're not using FDE.

I don't remember there being any specific problem that make some crypto setups more difficult than others, with the caveat that implementing FDE at all makes EFI_STUB somewhat more complicated no matter what.

Like I said, it's been a couple of years since I figured all that stuff out, so the passage of time may have softened the terror of configuration and clouded my memories.
Sure, but there are essentially no legitimate claims in the USA because of the requirements for asylum:

1. You are being persecuted for something like religion or ethnicity. Poverty and ordinary gang violence doesn't count.

2. You must declare asylum in the first safe country you reach. Given that both Canada and Mexico are considered safe countries, it is extremely difficult to meet this requirement. You'd pretty much have to sneak onto an airplane without being caught.
“We” still think it’s a good idea to use asbestos in less fortunate countries.

The way Americans may see that is the way Scandinavia sees lead pipes. I mean, flint was so many years ago, why haven’t you improved things?
+ 1 flagging is extremely poorly done.
Have a friend with gaming channel and he showed me how it is easy to get video demonetised, just add "fetish", "cannibal", any religious phrase... The fun and insanely frustrating part is that you can reupload same video with same description, tags and titles second(or maybe more) times and it will be monetised if algorithm will think you are lucky... wtf. And you can't appeal if your video has less than 1k views for the last week. I know it's not much, but appeal process takes 1 week and usually most videos get majority of their views in that 1-st week, so it is easier to just reupload...

It's fine if new videos get flagged, you can reupload them, but youtube bots flag old videos and there is no notification whatsoever. Even their own "Video manager board" not showing them as demonitised, because they still get money from youtube red and considered as claimed, you have to enter "edit video" to see the notification. You just have to manually search them... And for gaming channels with 1-2k videos it's a pain.
Where did home network security take root?
a major misfire in this whole story is that the employee in question was a short-term contractor.

A 3-year contract is a long-term contractor... Many permanent employees don't stick around that long.
Its a fantastic decision (especially even from the standpoint of making a stand).

The middle east is full of small countries who have engaged in sustained abuses of human rights, and there are a lot of them, all with the same voting power as nations hundreds of times their size.
Not sure why they can't secure their cold storage. That is what makes these hacks so suspicious any why investors need to be really weary of new exchanges.

I work in the entertainment industry for a very large company that also produces games. We've had the money, time, and interest to pursue VR. The truth is you're correct. Storytellers are having a really hard time figuring it out. One of the biggest challenges is headset fatigue, which limits the length of story. In conversations with one of the VR manufacturers, they admitted it's one of their biggest problems behind motion sickness.

About 14 million VR headsets have been sold worldwide. That puts it about on par with the NES in the late 80s. I choose to forgive the VR market for not immediately being as successful as the mature gaming market. A lot of things were being done in the early 90s that showed just how little we really understood digital entertainment. It'll take tech improvement and product experimentation combined to really get VR to come into its own. That'll take continued investment on every front. We won't get there by magic.
Sorry; I didn't mean anything formal by the "short-term" adjective phrase there. I meant "In contrast to a full-time employee, whom one assumes is making a career out of THAT company."

Three years is a long time in contractor-land, but it's a drop in the bucket for career company employee.
I was foolish enough to speak up on a networking related subreddit. Silly me, 20 years of experience, I should have known better than to share.

I got pummeled by a handful of small time networking guys who think their one rack data center is hot shit and there is just no other way to do things than to buy Cisco and parrot what their sales guy says. I kid you not, one of them seriously was calling his Cisco sales guy and asking about some Cisco news, got some spin from his sales guy and, and then posting what his sales guy told him.... (dude even said he was doing that) I was done.

Detroit has a lot of inexpensive land. I wonder if they could match the overall costs of other locations without the tax break.
To clarify, I find it incredulous that a 3 year contract requiring full-time, on-site, business hour presence wouldn't legally require a company to treat that person as a full-time employee with benefits.
Yeah I think we agree on all counts. Except that maybe I'm a bit more surprised than you are that people aren't collectively interested in putting in the commitment to actually solve a problem.

There's always news of China hacking the US... Is China more competent, or do they report on it less (I'm sure the latter is true to some degree.) Is there any data on the volume of hacks on the two sides? I understand that Obama and Xi agreed to show mutual restraint, which would imply some reciprocity from the US, but to what extent?
Depends on where. In a lot of Europe (and afaik also Canada) alcohol purchasing times are heavily regulated to combat binge, especially youth, drinking. For example no alcohol sales past 9pm, no sales before 10am etc.

And you can’t advertise drinking. You can promote brands, but not drinking directly. Which is weird and I don’t know how the line is defined, but it exists in at least some countries I’ve been to.
You are very naive and uninformed. Do some research before just claiming someone who has real metrics is over estimating. There have been objective studies about the abuse of the asylum process and the prevalence of asylum fraud. Do some research and then opine.

By the way, entering the US illegally is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE and when parents with children in tow are arrested the children don’t get a bunk bed in their parents’ cell. The parents know the risk and take it so they are the ones who are creating the problem. The laws are being enforced as they are at borders in every country except ours until recently.

There are legal ways to come to this country as refugees use those procedures instead of paying the cartels and criminal elements to smuggle you here.

If only people cared about the veterans who are sacrificing their lives to fight for our country a fraction of how much they care about illegal aliens. The priorities of far too many have become disgraceful. Protest for veterans and their families to get better benefits. Support groups that support the veterans who protect your right to free speech instead of protesting first to protect illegal aliens who have no right to be hear.

Fleeing gangs in Central America is not asylum—people from the US should seek asylum in other countries if that’s the case because the inner cities are filled with victims of gang violence. Political refugees haven’t come from Central America since the 80s. Sorry people can’t pick a real cause to support.

> if you are outside the EU, you need to hire someone inside the EU as a representative / contact point for GDPR issues.

And enforce this how? You get arrested upon setting foot in the EU when failing to do so? This would only work in Germany and maybe France. The EU doesn't have its own police, they rely on states cooperating. This is why Puigdemont is free to move in the EU (except Spain and Germany where he was arrested), despite of an arrest warrant issued in Spain.

Gladly.

With the data interface you can reuse or generate part or all of a component definition.

A class declaration can only contain methods. The data object contains much more information.

You could say both are descriptions that will be used to build an object, but the Vue API data object will be interpreted arbitrarily by Vue's runtime while the class declaration will be interpreted by the JS runtime and will only expose methods.

You could use decorators or put properties on the class's constructor, but that has to happen outside of the scope of the class declaration and negates any cleanliness advantage.

You can also put those properties in the constructor but then they are only available after instantiation.

Here's a discussion on class syntax in Vue: https://github.com/vuejs/vue/issues/2371

I think that there's a temptation for class-oriented programmers to want to write everything as classes, but there's nothing inherently superior about using classes in your api and depending on the use case classes may actually be limiting.
> I think you’re vastly overestimating how much people want to move here.

I am not. The US is still the top destination for migrants.

> legal immigration would not lower wages

I agree. We're talking about illegal immigration though. If everybody followed the legal process, great!
It's also incorrect even for LTS supported kernels: LTS releases incorporate new kernel versions along the way as part of the hardware enablement work, though they are not used by default.

For example, here's 4.13 in the previous LTS (16.04), up from the default 4.4:

There is a such a thing as an Ethernet tap (basically, you tap one pair to Rx on a NIC, and if you want both ways you need another NIC)... but it's tricky to avoid impedance mismatch etc, and not feasible at all for Gigabit Ethernet. The simple/easy option is configure port mirroring on your switch[1] as mentioned by other commenters.

I expect you would sell for 2x to 4x annual profit.

If it's growing or even flat I'd think about keeping it. Even if you stay flat for 5 years and then tail off you would come out ahead vs selling it now.

If it's something you think could disappear or lose revenue in 12 to 24 months if you don't put more time in to it selling it is probably a good idea.

Good luck with the sale (I'd keep it though)
It’s not about whether using cannabis is a good idea. It’s about whether having it be a severe criminal offense is a good way to discourage use. That approach quite obviously hasn’t worked, and has resulted in various serious externalities such as criminal enterprises.

How do you think you will enforce that contract? Hire a lawyer? You might as well go to the ATM grab as much cash as you possible. Then put it all in a garbage can and light a match. It will be far less costly and more productive then attempting pursue that contract.

We already have this mediator in the fiat world, though. It's called PayPal, or the bank that issued my VISA, or whomever else sits in between the merchant and myself. It also takes a ~2-3% cut for this service, and returns ~1% to me in cashback.

Why will this be any cheaper, or safer, or fairer with Bitcoin? All the incentives in this business align with the buyer. 90% of the time, I have a choice between many equivalent merchants, all of whom want my business. I will go with the one that supports my cash-back credit card - whose issuer will almost always side with me in a dispute.

Once these escrow services become popular in the crypto world, you're back to square one. The reasons for why PayPal sucks for some of its users have nothing to do with fiat money, and everything to do with the nature of the escrow business. It would be just as shitty for said users if it transacted in Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or silver bullion.
Availability of cheap labor reduces wages within any industry - this is almost an axiom. But just read an economics book or a study like this one:

http://www.migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings...

> in the unskilled and semi-skilled service sector, a 1% rise in the share of migrants reduced average wages in that occupation by nearly 0.5%

It may seems small but those numbers are variables and for people on the lowest rung of the ladder, every percent counts.
I share your opinion about THC, but not about legalization.

People who say pot is harmless (or even beneficial!) on average to most people are kidding themselves. But a substance doesn’t need to be harmless to be good to legalize it - as long as legalization is a net boon for society’s health, wealth and safety, it’s a good idea. Pot legalization checks all of those boxes.
