That is because of the desire for the kernel to be able to prove authorship (i.e. that it wasn't "stolen" code that got committed).

This is a Google commit, it's not owned by the author. Clearly Google owns the copyright, it was done at Google's direction and for reasons that are relatively obvoiusly in line with Google's interests. There's no meaningful ambiguity here.

Corporations donate code all the time, even to Linux, and the "true" human author doesn't necessarily correlate with the names on the git commit. This is no different.

Fundamentally this is just a joke. Anyone who put their name on that commit would open themselves up to ridicule, so the project management lampshaded the issue with a faceless commit.

So, yes, the same reasoning applies to Android. And this is perfectly fine. There are things to complain about, but IP hygine doesn't qualify.
> On Oct. 1, 2015, Visa and MasterCard put in force new rules that can penalize merchants who do not yet have chip-enabled terminals. Under the new rules, merchants that don’t have the technology to accept chip cards will assume full liability for the cost of fraud from purchases in which the customer presented a chip-enabled card.

> But those rules don’t apply to fuel stations in the United States until October 2017, and a great many stations won’t meet that deadline, said Verifone’s Turner.

I'm not from the US though I visit often. It's the only place I ever use the magnetic stripe on my card. I tend to be able to use the chip when buying groceries, but in most restaurants & coffee shops its mag stripe all the way. Realistically is that going to change any time soon?

I've always heard and read it is a carcinogen. For example there was big deal about a flooring retailer importing wood floors with formaldehyde residue from China. By regulated, is it banned in Australia? Or does it just mean restricted uses? Also is there any mention in Australia that it causes Leukemia?
You don't really need an associates in CS foundations, since all the "CS" part of CS is upper level (except for the most advanced students who start elite Bachelors universities with 1-2 years of university coursework from high school). Just take some basic liberal arts math and intro programming during your AA, then you are ready to apply for CS Backelors program.

Right. And I don’t trust the author has such a poor understanding of this topic as he claims. Trust in the traditional sense is a very expensive operation. If delivered on the level of a local storefront small business, for example, it might be worth asking whether the result of corporate practice justifies it’s own means. In this statement, I might be discounting the innovation allowed by organizations of such power and scale, or maybe not. That’s a separate conversation.

I have worked on numerous advertising campaigns focused on “building consumer trust” in the client. That’s what they called it, anyways. There is no shortage of literature and other media on what this involves. See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s for starters.

Public relations does not build trust. It steals trust.

Our commercial enterprises are in a deep debt of trust to their own society. But, the truly sad part is how much further we can go before we bottom out. Advertising steals trust much like how finance steals capital, but the absence of numbers makes the damage even more difficult to count.
These are extreme exceptions and hardly the point of the article.
I hope Intel strongly executes and puts the current doubts of people firmly behind them. Think the next pick of CEO is going to be crucial - they need someone focussed on execution and someone who stays the course with respect to the long and painful changes Intel will need to make. They have several problems they need to address at once

a. Fix the 10nm process

b. Deal with a new world where a small number of cloud providers are buying a bulk of their CPUs vs the past where they were selling substantial CPUs to businesses. I would imagine that intels pricing power will come into serious attack once the Cloud providers can land a legitimate alternative as a negotiating tactic.

c. Rise of managed environments (Browsers / Languages) where developers are increasingly coding against sandboxes rather than against native code. This means any innovation that Intel does (like AVX512) now has a much longer life cycle before end users can see the benefit since these innovations need to trickle down into features in the managed environments.

d. ARM / AMD will be putting pressure on the low margin part of the business.

e. The new killer workloads are in AI and GPUs / Accelerators seem to be winning on those workloads for now.
Are those accident reports publicly available online? The site you linked seems to have a one line summary of each accident but no link to further details.
That's generally because (some of) the course work is too low-level /remedial. If you aren't ready for university at high school graduation, then you need to take the extra time. If you are ready, you need to challenge yourself at the rate that university students do if you want to keep up (which may need some good advising that is hard to find, point granted).

Mozilla uses Trello quite a bit for project management (and Bugzilla and GitHub for bug tracking), but some teams are experimenting with Airtable. It's like a cross between a Google Sheets and Trello. It's not as approachable as either of them, but it is more robust. You can create spreadsheets with real schemas and foreign keys, comment tracking and notifications like Trello, and multiple data views like Kanban or calendar.

Bug tracking at Mozilla is a challenge. Some projects have their code in Mercurial and bug tracking in Bugzilla. Others have code and bug tracking in GitHub. And some projects have dependencies that bridge both, so there is no good way to see a global view of relevant bugs in Bugzilla and GitHub. Some teams experimented with Jira plus some custom extensions that provided a unified view of Bugzilla and GitHub, but it didn't go far because it was a lot of work to maintain and developers would still be using Bugzilla and GitHub directly.

All that is likely to achieve is either very expensive replacements, instead of commodity priced bulbs, as they can be manufacturer specific. Or entirely sealed units making the entire lamp or fitting disposable.

The market and lamp designers have done this already with LED desk lamps and many formerly standard fittings.

This is not progress, and is both environmentally and financially abusive.
Also, from the EU:

* SCOEL/REC/125 Formaldehyde
Recommendation from the
Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/2882e9bc-d52e-4944-ac08-974b4... (It's carcinogenic; recommends 0.3ppm or less)
* Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety SCCS OPINION ON the safety of the use of formaldehyde in nail hardeners https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_s... (Minimal risk if non-occupational, but “in order to reduce inhalation exposure to formaldehyde, the room should be ventilated when applying nail hardeners.“)

And:
* Do IKEA cabinets have formaldehyde? http://www.ikaninstallations.com/2015/09/22/do-ikea-cabinets... (Answer: Not in the paint or lacquer, and each individual product meets California's standard of 0.05ppm - given the 0.3ppm recommendation above, I'd recommend ventilation if you've a ton of IKEA products, but even so the cancer risk seems minimized...)

Also a quote from the parent's link on leukaemia association: "As a naturally occurring metabolite in many living things, formaldehyde is also found at high background levels in many types of food, such as shiitake mushrooms and many types of seafood. There have also been instances of formaldehyde found in fruits, vermicelli noodles, and even beer [Tang et al., 2009]. Thus formaldehyde exposure via food consumption is also a possibility."

I don't understand your argument. You can get an MBA after community college. MBA programs are for people who already have work experience.

College tuition increases astronomically due to bad govt subsidies and poorly--financially-educated teenagers making purchasing decisions.

Community colleges aren't "second-rate" compared to the plethora of for-profit and low-quality private universities.

2-year Community colleges are a stepping stone to 4-year degrees.

Do poor kids deserve better K-12 education so they can succeed in the same 4-year programs that rich kids do? Sure, but colleges can't fix that. It's crazy to also deny college education to kids just because they already got screwed over in K-12.

> I just find peeling oranges a PITA

You know, I've almost forgotten about this problem. Buy clementines; they are a kind of orange which happen to be easy to peel. For more ease, at the store you can feel which ones have looser skin; it's no exaggeration that they are easier to peel than plastic wrappers off of processed food. They don't even make a mess - no dripping, no sticky fingers, etc. I can't recommend them enough - one of the wonders of nature, or of selective breeding.

Ah that's not good to hear.

I was using Podcast Addict prior to AntennaPod and it had the same issues as your first point. I now experience the same behaviour with AntennaPod and had wrote it off as a "podcasting" glitch or at least an issue with the streams I was listening to.

Hopefully they address these issues in the future but they're definitely not deal breaker issuss for me to want to switch to some closed source alternative.
The same link says it's not banned entirely, but limited to the same limit the EU recommends in occupational settings (0.3ppm):

>The current national occupational exposure standard for formaldehyde is 1 ppm 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) and 2 ppm short-term exposure limit (STEL).

>The NICNAS report recommends that the occupational exposure standard be lowered to 0.3 ppm TWA and 0.6 STEL based on irritation of the eyes and nose.
This is not true. In games 32-bit floats are extremely common.
> I don't believe you are able to donate directly as an "instead of" option.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case, at least here, as I've been personally present when a friend did exactly that.

Again, I question that what you're describing is a matter of any explicit prohibition due to policy, rather than your conclusion based on observed behavior (which, itself, can be explained by optimizing for maximum overall revenue, rather than maximum revenue to any particular participant).

To me, the split between the individual girl and the scouting organization (at troop, regional, national, or whatever level) is immaterial, because, at least here [1], the scouting organizations have routinely been in the news for their inclusive policies, even of otherwise politically marginalized girls, including putting their money behind such policies.

[1] Again, the US. Other countries may well be different.

That may be the usual case but that is not all cases. It does happen that people wish for there parents to die. You see it all over this thread. What no one can say here is that some people also wish for them to die so they can take their payout or stop paying for care.
Love the idea! One little nitpick - in the `ls` section, you have a paragraph that reads:

> Go back too much? Use ls to see what’s in the directory you’re in, and then use cd to head back to where you want to go:

In my experience, if I get lost with `cd`, the best way for me to figure out where I am is not to execute an `ls` (because I might be in a folder with no contents, or somewhere with ambiguous content), I would recommend `pwd` ("print working directory").
Back when the potential kratom ban was scaring everyone, I remember seeing a sign advertising clinical trials for those dealing with opioid addiction. The cynic in me wondered whether the trials were for some medication that mimicked kratom or any individual alkaloid
Nah, it's mostly true (I'm one of those young webdevs), but I'd attribute the pain points in front-end development to slightly different problems than the state of browser inconsistencies and spec problems.

IME 70% of the problems people run into are self-inflicted due to overengineered solutions. I spend a lot of time lurking front-end IRC channels and most of the problems that get posted is stuff that I have never had trouble with, with libraries I'd never even consider using, that I don't have the first clue how to fix without going back to square one and re-engineering the solution from the ground up. The advice given by people that do attempt to help with these problems is often awful and creates more confusion.

For the most part, I don't think people realise that libraries add to the complexity of their software, rather than abstracting it away. Every front-end dev desperately needs to go and read the Law of Leaky Abstractions, because they're getting smoked by it on a daily basis and they don't realise.

The other 30% of problems come down to what GP mentioned, ambiguous specs, browser inconsistencies etc. Stuff like the relationship between x-overflow and y-overflow, little flexbox niggles like different behaviour depending on if flex-direction is set to row or column etc etc. This stuff can often be worked around with simple but unintuitive fixes (usually some fuckery with negative marigns and such), the two difficulties lie in discovering the solution to begin with (there's boatloads of bad and outdated advice everywhere), and running into these solutions when they haven't been properly documented (usually the case if some junior programmer has just ripped the hack off SO without understanding the theory behind it).

The secret to being good at front-end dev is to develop strategies to handle these problems, and to pick your resources very carefully (much as you would in any other ecosystem beset with noobs, like PHP back in the day).

I believe (based on my experience) that it's possible to build very successful software with very horrible engineering. Good and successful aren't necessarily synonymous in the world of big VC money. A great example is this: I need two hands to count the critical failure bugs I've run into with Uber's products in the last year. By critical failures I mean things that have flat out stopped me from being able to use it. I strongly suspect (a subset of) their engineering sucks (sorry to anyone here that works for them!). But hey, I don't own a squillion dollar company so what do I know? ;)

In all fairness, this was a completely normal thing for the socketed chips from that era: dropping the entire thing was easier than opening it up and pushing on all of the chips. And even now, if you are wondering why a particular thing is having problems, and it has any socketed chips, you should push on them.

> You can get an MBA after community college.

I wonder if you can get an MBA that's worth anything. I doubt any top tier program accepts many CC students.

> College tuition increases astronomically due to bad govt subsidies and poorly--financially-educated teenagers making purchasing decisions.

They are due to making tuition more market-priced, and according to research I've read, due to a reduction in public funding. It's also due to colleges raising tuition rather than focusing on their mission of educating people; nobody is forcing them.

> It's crazy to also deny college education to kids just because they already got screwed over in K-12.

Nobody suggested that. I said quality college education availability should be expanded.
Interesting warm-up times from Twitter:

> Unbelievable that these companies take security for their prized assets way less seriously than I do.

A lot of engineering teams unfortunately see strong security as a hurdle to fast development, and/or security is put as a lower priority to feature development or other deadlines. A lot of business units see security as a cost sink and have the "there's only so much we can do to protect ourselves, if they want it they can get it" or "it won't happen to us" mentality.

On the other hand, some companies have security built deeply into their lifecycle, and really care.
Being realistic about what you are up against is not defeatist. Is there anything I mentioned that's not a realistic assessment? Is it me that's negative, or is it the actual situation? And I also mentioned where I think the promising opportunities are coming from.
It should be noted that this is a Contributor article (common on weekends), not an article from the main TechCrunch staff.

It should also be noted that post-acquisition Workflow (where the author worked at and is noted in the author blurb) was the precursor team to Shortcuts.
I use Siri on my phone all the time. Do you have a link to that research? I haven’t heard that before.

Given that iOS will be prompting people with possible Shortcuts based on what they do frequently I can easily see people starting to adopt this.

I don’t think you have to use Siri to trigger these, it’s just an obvious easy/fast way. Users could still use the shortcut app or widget to do it.

As I’ve been watching some of the Apple community on Twitter since this started to go into beta they’ve already produced some fun/surprising stuff. This seems like it’s going to be a BIG deal.
The reason why its being held up is the important part.
Thanks for the suggested reading! That kind of content is what makes HN great.
Really they’ve combined two things. They took an app called workflow, which they bought, would you can use to automate things on iOS. They extended it dramatically, and then added the magic ingredient of making it possible to have Siri call those actions that you define. Plus some AI stuff to suggest shortcuts for things you do frequently.

Alexa is quite popular because it has so many skills the people have created for it. That’s one of the reasons people claim Siri has been “behind“ and Amazon’s Echo devices have been doing so well.

I don’t know if Cortana or Bixby support anything like this.
I think this is iOS only for now, but it seems like a very obvious thing to port to the Mac.
I wouldn't be so quick to judge given the lack of detail. It's entirely possible given the relatively recent adversarial diplomatic back and forth between China and Australia that this could be an APT style attack.
