I have goals to achieve, information to convey, possibly emotions to instill. For product or marketing I as a client would know the target market and positioning. Does the design reflect that? Does it have references that are too close to images/products of a competitor (or failed old products of ours)? I can assess whether the delivered work hits the goals that I have - I may only realise after seeing one iteration that an expressed desire actually detracts from a goal either due to ineffective communication or my not understanding how things would come together.

Is the image very busy? I may know that I'm going to want to use it along with other assets or in presentations - how is it going to affect that? How do the colors and shapes used compare to other assets it will be used beside, how will it work in different mediums? Bright yellow isn't great for projectors or for legibility.

One example - a global accounting firm introduced a new framework. They had a diagram that had core elements, supporting concepts, and overarching concerns. It would work fine at full size on a laptop but was very poor for display on a low res projector to an audience of 100. This design was core to the effort and would be used in very many situations with projectors to large audiences.

I may say that I want to look like James Bond skiing - you design me a yellow ski suit very similar to the intro of The Spy Who Loved Me. I'm horrified because I want a look similar to the all black look of Daniel Craig in Spectre. My inability to communicate about design created a problem but I can judge on whether or not you've achieved my goal.

I think it's an interesting question whether an OEM has a vested interest in a price dumping case.

If you are a multi-channel retailer, like ASUS is, where you're selling through physical and online channels, if a large retailer like Amazon decides to cut the final sale price of your goods, this definitely has a cascading effect on your other business relationships.

In particular, your physical distribution customers are going to wonder how Amazon is able to sell for such a low price, and may pressure you to offer them a better wholesale price.

We may hope that the threat of EU enforcement dissuades an Amazon-type retailer from this type of price dumping/cutting, however by the time the law is actually enforced, you (the manufacturer) may have already suffered irreparable damage to your business relationships with your other customers, and may have suffered a permanent hit to the margins you can make.

In a situation like that, I'm having trouble seeing why it would be unreasonable to stop selling to that price-cutting retailer, particularly if they are a player with entrenched market power.
He said Turing test 2029. That may have better hat eating possibilities.
To be fair, the MTA has largely been NYS's piggy bank for decades. That's why it's gotten this bad; it's being used to subsidize all the services upstate that don't generate any revenue.

You'd expect there to be more and heftier fines levied on EU-based companies since it's the regulator overseeing the eurozone, but they save the record fine for US firms.

Beside most of that is on cartels i.e the ones they don't require convoluted reasoning to prosecute and the large fines are shouldered by several companies.

Exactly. Anyone actually writing in "Drugs" and meaning its for drugs is going to get caught in some other fashion for being stupid. Police know 99.9999% of the Venmo comments are farce.
Not likely. This forum is very anti-price-fixing and anti-competitiveness, especially with regards to headhunting and wages like Apple/Google had.
I don’t understand why did Asus, Philips and others do that? Why do they care about retail prices? They’re not earning retail price, they offer their products to retailers for wholesale prices. They’re manufacturers, can’t they always adjust that wholesale price however they see fit?
You don't know what you are talking about....China is the most protectionist country...not to mention most from the Americas...

The "teachers shouldn't parent; parents stopped parenting" lesson is one I've heard from more than a few.

What if teachers ALWAYS "parented", and as societies grow more tolerant and diverse this obviously doesn't scale (parents disagree with teachers on what should be taught). Thus we decide on this image of teachers giving knowledge and means of learning, while parents give morals and social structures. But has this image every existed in practice? How do we know it is even achievable?

A child is learning from EVERYTHING. Is it truly reasonable to expect that teachers aren't "parenting"? Even if they expressly attempt to focus on intellectual pursuits only, that is just showing a different set of parenting lessons (potentially about lack of accountability, or the division of social mores from everything else). Likewise, if the teachers have turned to this absent form of parenting, are we correct in assuming that other parents aren't doing their "jobs"? (After all, it's never MY kid that isn't getting parenting, it's everyone else's).

I don't have solutions or suggestions, but I want to raise the idea that maybe it's not "who" is or is not parenting, because everyone is, all the time, even if trying NOT to "parent". If so, then simply trying harder to ensuring parenting only happens from parents, and DOES happen from them, is doomed to failure, incompatible with the operating of developing minds?
>The biggest question is not whether or not these facilities are compromised, it's whether or not a bad actor is going to use it for malicious purpose. It's one thing to shut down a website for the lols, it's another thing to overload a nuclear reactor and contaminate an entire chunk of the US.

This. Tons of stuff is compromised And if the Russians and Chinese are in our power plants we're in theirs too. Everyone can attack everyone else better than anyone can defend themselves. That's the nature of a highly asymmetrical form of warfare like that. Offense > defense (in the case of "cyber warfare").

>At this point it is a waiting game. Who is going to be the fellow to push the enter key on their keyboard that then causes a 7 digit number of people to go without power, clean water, or even be exposed to radiation?

Attribution is hard. Do you think the Israelis wouldn't attack us and make it look convincingly enough (for the talking heads and the general public) like Iran if it looked like our relations with Iran were about to thaw substantially in a way that was bad for them?

>It's understandable that countries feud and people just don't like each other, but actually shutting down key infrastructure like these scenarios suggest is an end game move that establishes the point of no return in global conflict.

Wars have started over a lot less. Nobody ever thinks what they're doing will be the final straw that starts the war.

One of the best economic history books. I was convinced 100% on this argument and have never found anyone able to criticize it ,other than "it wont be as good as he claims".

Funny thing: Henry George is complaining about poverty and homelessness in California in 1895.

Funny thing 2: Land Value Tax is recognized as a great tax both by right/left win economists (Kruger, Milton Friedman, etc).
The male friends that I grew away from wasn’t because of distance, it was because our interest and lifestyle changed but I’ve actively kept in touch with a few even while we have lived in different parts of the country since 1997. We see each other maybe once a year since we are both from the same hometown and go back to visit relatives.

What benefit do you get from seeing people in person? When I see my friends in person we talk, play cards, and play video games. We may go out and eat/drink but everything else we can do online. I don’t need to physically see other men to keep a friendship with them.

I did specifically call out my male friends. I purposefully distanced myself from my (platanic) female friends after getting married except for the ones where I was friends with the couple because having friends of the opposite sex as a married man just brings in too many complications.

Asus was colluding with other resellers to inflate their selling price of their stores. Not of laptops in general, but of Asus laptops themselves:

> The Commission found the manufacturers put pressure on ecommerce outlets who offered their products at low prices

So it is literally company A telling/forcing company B to sell at X price.
Explain the inconvenience you're experiencing because you can't get a straw?

It's a step forward, a small one at that, but it's progress. I don't understand those complaining - they usually fall back to people with disabilities, and yet establishments will still have straws on-hand for those folks.
I always enjoy articles like this, but must counterbalance with the vast vast cost saving of working with a stack with which you're familiar.
Ugh. Instead of redefining common usage you could just use a different word or words.

Edit: Is saying "bad design" or "ineffective design" going to lead to some fearful confrontation?
The whole problem is people on probation posting “drugs” as payment comment. I’m not american, but cannot imagine a country where this wouldn’t attract “sir are you an idiot” looks. Feels like those who complain want both healthy society and easy crimes at the same time.
So what would you recommend for potential parents who don't have the years of hands-on experience that your wife had?
What's wrong with any of this?

People who are using and selling drugs are criminals like any other type of criminal.

Civil forfeiture is fucked, sure, but the rest of the consequences sound pretty fair. Break the law, you pay the price. If you rob a small bank instead of Deutsche, should you get a smaller penalty? Just because it's a small quantity of drugs doesn't mean anything, it's still the same crime.

I've left Kentucky twice and in each case when I moved in or out there was no confusion about partial months. Not sure what happened in your case but I can tell you that is not normal. I've only ever paid taxes for the months I resided in the state.
This is a pretty common method of attack on banks, and this is far from the first time it's been done. I'm guessing the criminals expect a certain level of loss from the mules doing the withdrawals but aren't too bothered as it's not their money :)

It goes back at least to 2009 (Worldpay US) and possibly before that.

The ATM element is important as one of the hardest parts of electronic bank theft is getting the money out of the banking system in an untraceable form.
Not sure what jurisdiction you're in, but I'm in Canada where we generally have good teachers. The problem we're experiencing is a curriculum that we feel is becoming easier over time and shifting away from core fundamentals. Teachers are powerless to oppose or address this, regardless of how they personally feel or want to teach.

Should my 10-yr-old learn coping strategies for anxiety? absolutely, but she should also be learning some Canadian and World geography, be able to multiply numbers beyond 8x8, practice word and logic problems and understand that computers are not just cell phones and ipad applications.
If we relied solely on the public education system it would be questionable if any of these were covered.
Things like Stuxnet show us that regardless of how true this story is or who in fact sponsored it, infrastructure compromise is a global game. I suspect this is part of what Russians are talking about when asking to negotiate on cyberwarfare. If this is indeed them, they may see such compromise operations as necessary for reciprocity for the NSA's known systemic compromise of systems around the world, which surely makes them feel threatened. A reciprocal compromise would allow them to respond tit-for-tat if attacked, and give them negotiating room for diplomatic resolution.

So let's hope it's correctly attributed and not some criminals with nothing to lose.

And nearly every other beach in the world. The amount of trash on shorelines, floating around, embedded in reef, etc is staggering.

The next time you're on vacation in the Caribbean, SE Asia, or South Pacific, wake up extra early and head out to the shoreline before any clean-up crews arrive to rake up the garbage (and seaweed). Or just visit an unmaintained beach away from resorts where tides work in favor of the garbage coming ashore and where the trash is never picked up. The oceans (and rivers which flow into them) are treated like a giant garbage dump in most of the world, and it shows.
"Fantastically reasonable" is an interesting way of describing the legal system punishing the greatest number of prisoners in the world.
Any “bailout” you read in the papers is administered directly by member states and/or the ECB through additional mechanisms, outside of the regular EU budget.

"russian" determined how?
It depends very much on the definition of "walk away".

Europeans use America-only firms all the time and can easily make cross border payments. There aren't really robust ways to stop US firms selling to the EU over the internet especially for services, which are excluded from tariffs via GATT.

Whilst I don't think we'll see established firms "walk away" in the sense of closing down their EU offices, I think it's extremely likely that the next generation of startups will simply never choose to open offices in the EU to begin with. Sort of like how many companies ignore the Chinese market today because the problems that come with it offset the appeal of a large (much, much more captive) market.
After rereading my comment, I did kind of garble my point. I wasn't meaning to imply that bail is an argument in support of pleas in general. My point was that you can't change part of a system without thinking of the possible effects. Removing the plea system without a plan how to handle the roughly 10 fold increase in criminal trials or how that increase might affect people awaiting trial is like removing a leg of a table without considering how stable it would be with three legs. When proposing a reform you should either be practical, like reducing maximum sentences, or at least holistic if the reforms are impractical. Arguments for simply removing the plea system without considering how it would affect courts or bail is neither practical nor holistic.

Is it generally reliable asking Amazon support what capacity you need for a particular use case, so you're not buying more than needed? e.g. a service that might be used once per day for a minute, and another day it might get used a dozen times for maybe an hour, and only during fixed business hours. And there are general purpose, compute optimized, storage optimized, etc. But what if the service is more network latency sensitive than either storage or compute sensitive?

Or are there 3rd party estimators that do a better job of telling you what kind of instance to get? Or just pick a general purpose instance, run it for a week, and then tweak it?
ACM combined with the various other services you need, especially Route53 or whatever, plus their byzantine new networking and security rules ... means you need to read a few sections of several different manuals to just do basic things.

AWS has become very complex over the last few years - there was a period where you didn't need admins. Now it seems you do again, just cloud admins, not local machine admins.

Responses were somewhat mixed to the recent Google fine though.
I went to my local techmeetup to volunteer and do some nonprofit work. There were 8 nonprofit companies that presented technical challenges they were facing. They wanted local devs to contribute to their missions as volunteer work. I met him there, said pleasantries and exchanges / what not. Didn't really learn much about him then

The week after I had to attend a strategy meetup to actually do a mini "hackathon" of sorts for projects. Again the 8 companies would do their spiel, I immediately identified which projects were worth taking and which were not. Some were just beyond my skillsets others were too much in infancy, etc. I ended up finding the same guy at the meeting, we were talking silently about all our opinions about these nonprofits. How competent were they, how far along were they, etc

He ended up picking the same 2 projects as I did before I knew about it. We split in groups, I noticed immediately all he did starting off was setting 8 seperate slack channels. He immediately knew communication was vital and capitalized on it. His company also does a lot of webdev / wordpress dev for nonprofits so it makes sense for him to do things this way.

I got to learn and see his leadership and management skills in action. In many ways, they mirrored me own, but were different. While I think tech first and the solution at hand, his focus was more business oriented. I tend to have a blunder of just tossing the solution on a plate without getting all the requirements, and he recognized this instantly and kept things from going off topic.

We started to hit it off and met up a few times on a 1:1 talking about life. He would have all these extremely absurd visions about how he wanted to build a social enterprise and making future impacts, but I couldn't see the motivation.

Later as I got to know him better he told me of his hardships growing up (not going go into detail here), but they closely resembled my own. I have a debilitating hidden disability growing up that I have not really told anyone because I never wanted to be treated differently. He has terminal cancer and probably may or may not have a long lifespan. He hadn't really told anyone but a handful of people including me.

I have never met someone so intelligent in my life in so many fields. He's been homeless at one point, worked in politics and legal / litigation, is a great developer, and is one of the best leaders and managers I have seen. I have pretty low expectations of people and rarely give compliments like this if that means anything.

For the longest time in my life I've always wondered if I would meet a person like me. I didn't think it would happen because (1) I would probably never know enough about the person to know (2) my background experiences and hardships are a really far outlier that I think maybe one in a million people have experienced. The chances of meeting someone like me is almost next to impossible

What's backwards about that? It's a genius way for both state governments to squeeze a little more money out of people, while being able to write it off as a "mistake" if anyone complains too loudly. Real backwardness would be giving citizens a way to pay less money.
The insurance company has a pretty strong financial incentive to try and minimize their loss here, so I'm not surprised they're trying.

That said if too many "hacking insurance" policies fail to pay out, business are going to be less keen to use them.

I've always been amused by police procedurals where they are like "it's 15 to life, but if you cooperate we can take the death penalty off of the table".

I mean, I'm sure at the moment of death risk the ultimate FOMO kicks in, but in the abstract? The rest of my life in prison sounds a lot worse when it's a long life rather than a still-long-to-experience-but-overall-short one. Always felt like a terrible motivation tactic.
Sure, PKI has serious problems. But HTTP without HTTPS has far worse problems. Nothing is perfect. Waiting for the perfect, while failing to help in easy ways that you can do now, is a poor choice.

In any case, HTTPS doesn't protect your site, it protects the users of your site (by protecting the confidentiality and integrity of the data in transit). If you don't care about your users, then those potential users should avoid your site.

MITM attacks have become pervasive. HTTPS was less important years ago, but that time has passed. For example, ISPs, hotels, airlines, and many others have decided that it's okay to attack their customers. Supporting HTTPS is an easy way to help those users. It doesn't need to be perfect to be useful.

Nobody is going to send a SWAT team to someone's house over a $25 Venmo transaction marked as "drugs". Not only is it not even close to nearly enough evidence for a warrant, but a SWAT team isn't going to get sent for drug possession in any case.
