>This is the way it is and it's gotta be the way it is because that's the way it is.

Everyone generally agrees about how it is. The discussion is about how it should be.

We're talking about the kind of people who seriously say that the laws of mathematics don't hold weight in their jurisdiction. You can't defend that level of ignorance by just claiming it's not workable to have competent lawmakers.
Machine Learning Shifts More Work to FPGAs, SoCs
I think a big problem with the adventure game segment is it's extremely content heavy. There's not really any replay ability; so as soon as the content wears thin your players leave. Admittedly that's true of most game genres, but then there's other types of games like idk, counterstrike or minecraft, where people can keep continuing with the same content for a loooong time because the novelty comes from the interactions.
Facebook is here to stay. They are not Myspace. They are following the model of many of the tech companies that survive. If they can't copy it they will buy it. They have enough revenues that they can buy any hot startup and nurse it to success. Zuckerberg will likely be CEO for at least the next 10 years and has shown that he can learn from mistakes and continue to succeed. He's one of the few that has learned his way to successful CEO of a large company.
There's very little that can bring them down. Even if the government regulates them the regulations will not be so stringent that they will cause Facebook to fold. The irony is that regulations favor big companies since they make it harder for small start-ups to succeed.

I'm not a fan but I see reality.
I don't know about the definition you're using, but taxonomically speaking there is at least one single-celled organism that's indisputably part of (as in descended from) Animalia: Canis lupus incertae sedis[1][2], a infectious disease that evolved from dogs[3]. (On further wiki-walking, there also appear to be similar diseases evolved from devils, hamsters, and clams[4].)

There are also choanoflagellates[5], which might have reverted to single-celled life after a stint as multicellular, or might not, but are in any case more closely related than the opisthokont[6] common ancestor of animals and fungi. (These are rather more relevant to the context of "were there single-celled animal ancestors?". If opisthokonts already formed differentiated clonal colonies, then there was no point in the main [modern normal animals] lineage that was defensibly already animal but not yet multicellular. Apoikozoa[7] allegedly formed colonies, but it's not clear to what extent they were differentiated and/or obligate.)

That's a ~9 month notice?
No matter how bad you feel about your own career, just read this and be thankful that you don't have to sit in on a monthly meeting between the IRS, IBM, and _Unisys_ (unless you do, in which case, despair).
Cool probably doesn't matter nearly as much as it used to given Facebook's user base size. As long as they have eyeballs, they'll have a revenue stream. Their willingness to pay what appeared to be outrageous sums for competitors users reflects that. But now that they've got the lions share of the social network using world, it's doubtful that they'd need to do that again in a big way unless they see something getting serious traction with people who are not already Facebook users.

You say least stable but let's look at Yahoo as an example: they've been dead for over a decade and lots of people still use them. Massive data breaches, people still use them etc. etc. Imagine how many people will keep using Facebook if all they manage to do is be a less bad version of Yahoo. People are creatures of habit and once they develop a habit, especially one that doesn't cost $$$ upfront, it takes a herculean effort to get most of them to change their behavior. Once people are hooked, many of them seem to be willing to be abused nearly forever.
Yes, there are workarounds.

They have over 2 billion monthly active users. This is a global penetration rate that is the best in the world. They have done something that no other company in the world has done. They are relevant to basically the vast majority of all Internet users in the world. To say they are the least stable or that their power over most humans is waning is, quite frankly, ludicrous.

To put it in perspective, they would need to lose 3/4 of their users to reach Twitter levels. Sure, Hacker News has loads of people that hate Facebook, but don't be fooled by the HN bias here. Also, all the armchair CEOs here would do anything to get even 1% of Zuckerberg's success. I don't think Facebook is going anywhere soon.
Someone should advise these officials that the concerns people have are with doubts in law enforcement maintaining full integrity in appropriate use, and that a criminal third party could use these backdoors to hack into peoples' devices.

Then remind them that they should also be obliged to have these backdoors on their own phones, and if they are concerned about doing so perhaps this is not a thing to push on everyone else...
Perhaps a better title might be "Economic commentator Peter Schiff thinks an economic crash is due."

"Experts," might be misconstrued to imply consensus, when this article doesn't appear to cite a representative sample, but two individuals.
Also should require hunting down juuust the right version of internet explorer, which is not the version it claims compatibility with but rather the version listed in the middle of paragraph three of the emailed instructions.
What like the next social network?

I'm much more bearish on antitrust than most people throwing that term around, but even I am against Facebook being able to buy another upstart social network. They cannot be allowed to do that.

Maybe they can do something completely different like Oculus and leverage their infrastructure to make the best product possible. But even then that's a huge gamble, and I don't think Oculus has lived up to anywhere near the hype.
Facebook has the power to know what the next big thing is, maybe better than those building it. Reading up on onavo is terrifying.
You're probably just fine aside from a slight self-deprecating tendency or so.
Not only that, but there are significant parts of US jurisprudence that impact people's lives every single day that are the explicit result of citizens winning against the state in court.
So spelling out IBM as International Business Machines I'm pretty sure is outdated and incorrect. Makes me think that the IRS is some sort of monolithic technology backwater...

Given the journal and the time it was published, are we sure this is research that would replicate? I looked at it and I don't see anything egregiously bad-looking, but I don't know much of anything about experimental design.

I hate living in the world where I have to ask that question -- and it does seem that there has been an improvement, such that modern research is less likely to be based on faulty analysis. 2014 seems like it could be on the borderline, though.

A comment from someone with more knowledge of statistics and experimental methods would be helpful.
The US military provides free care of this sort to members and their dependents. They get paid a salary by the government, but don't charge the patients for care per se.

I know that. I was merely pointing out that if gmail.com was the issue, then having youremail@gmail.com would also be an issue. But since it never has been, the issue in Germany has nothing (based on this simple logic) to do with Google changing the email access from gmail.com to google.com.
There are still places in California where it's possible to rent for <$1800/mo.
That may be, but the original articles that I saw making AJAX the new hotness referred to gmail and Google maps.

Furthermore I remember gmail's keyboard shortcuts being a shock to a lot of people. Me included.
Please see the HN FAQ:

>Wrong.

At an abstraction level below digital circuits, you are correct. But thankfully the layers on top of that do almost always do a very good job of hiding it.

>Doubt it.

Functional programming is already following the same path. Sure there will non-hybrid languages around if you want to use them, but take a look at the functional constructs that have made their way into almost every procedural language in use today.

Most people have never touched Haskell, but almost everyone has seen a map function.

>Purity does not constrain efficiency at all.

Maybe not inherently, but there's a reason we have to break out and use mutable data structures when we really need performance. For the systems we are working on today purity does impact performance/efficiency.
Wasn't aware they'd finally taken the plunge. Thanks for the correction.
It shuts down.

I'm being a little flippant, but also a little serious. Sometimes you get credible warnings. Sometimes it just comes out of the blue, because it's in management's best interest to keep any impending issues very quiet.

It's good to be looking for these things, but in my experience as soon as your spidey sense goes off, you should have an eye on what's next.
You don't think the co-founders of a company, who are leaving for purportedly benign/positive reasons, owe it to their company to have a prepared explanation? Given that the sudden resignation of a founder -- nevermind both co-founders at the same time -- is generally seen as worrying news?

edit: fixed punctuation. By "prepared explanation" I don't mean a formal press release, but a reason (even if vague) that can be publicly disclosed, even before the official announcement, so it doesn't look like the founders are jumping ship for bad/antagonistic reasons.

Standards bodies usually give hobbyists access to documents if asked, but with strings attached, of course. In other words, they need to somehow prove that you will not be using the spec in a commercial setting. This was my experience with the TCG, for example.

As for the IEEE 802 standards, it seems like individuals can get full access to all specification documents that are 6 months and older via the IEEE GET program: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/browse/standards/get-program/pag.... That sounds pretty fair, no?

In general, standards groups provide access in a similar way to software companies that give out free (or low-cost) access to their tools for open source developers and university students.

They may not be able to. See: Snapchat
As has been frequently pointed out, they could choose one account and serve that account a different webpage just once, and harvest their password in order to decrypt all their email in perpetuity. This would be a trivial change that would certainly go unnoticed.
It can be, if layoffs are happening. From what I know, LucasArts employees got a nice bonus when Disney it shut down. Some other companies I worked at also have given it out, though it depends on how dire things are.

Would Apple, Google, Facebook, et al. actually comply with this? Australia is such a small market for them that they could conceivably just refuse and pull their products. Apple in particular has a history of refusing to compromise on encryption.

I'm not discounting this issue. I'm sure it happens but: 1. having a speed limit allows you to know the cop was objectively wrong (barring broken speedometer). 2. Imagine the leeway cops would have if they had the discretion in determining "dangerous driving". The abuse would be even worse.

Facebook is dead. They have lost all momentum. The older people that have not moved on to snapchat or Instagram are exactly those that will be flummoxed by the changes.
Tidelift wants open-source developers to get paid
It doesn't work that way. Governments are interested in preserving order. The purpose of dragnet surveillance isn't to catch every single criminal and create some kind of crime-free utopia, it's to create a chilling effect on moderate dissent. It's a little nudge to remind everyone to stay in line.

It also has the added benefit of moving the Overton window towards authoritarianism. This puts anyone who uses sophisticated encryption to hide their communications squarely in the radical camp, making them easier to marginalize.
Don't get discouraged, if you were feeling that way. It was important you substantiated the envelope of what kind of improvements are theoretically possible. And although the wealthier residents, who really ought to have the property to absorb inconvenience, may have been self-serving, they might reasonably have a point that sudden upheaval can cause problems for others that cannot attend meetings.

Maybe some will remember this if money for student transportation comes up to ballot.
OK, I think I see your point. Maybe we can train the professionals to act out of reasons other than empathy? Or be more attuned to the current state and not the history. (Don't know if that is possible, or what specifically needs to be done).
This is theoretically possible. Researchers have also considered creating gene drives that automatically end after a certain number of generations.

It is a bit scary, but it is probably prudent to support such research, not only for interventions like this but as a possible countermeasure against biowarfare and bioterrorism using gene drives.

I am not sure about your comment about not caring for the bird's well being. We have a very small parrot in a very large cage. As long as he gets out of his cage to play, gets lots of head scratching, and my wife or I am in the same room as our parrot, he really seems happy. Also, it is easy to know when a parrot is happy, bored, or unhappy. Lots of signals.

There are also little things that mean a lot, at least to our parrot: at meals, if our food is not healthy for a parrot, one of us will put something good for him on our plates, and we always make a show of 'sharing' something on our plates with him. This communal eating seems to be important to him.

Another thing that seems to make him happy is to sit on my shoulder while I am working at my computer. He is not really a distraction and he seems to enjoy it. I try to cook with him on my shoulder but he wants to rummage through food ingredients laying about.

Yet another thing to do is understanding the bird's natural desire is to forage for food. What to do? Hide food and let him find it.

EDIT: I should also say that whenever someone likes our bird and talks about getting one, I try to talk them out of it. It takes a lot of effort to have a parrot and if that effort, over several decades, is not a lot of fun for you then getting a parrot is a bad idea.

Jeff Atwood isn't an authority on the skills of fresh computer science grads. He was a blogger with some anecdotes who came up with a meme.

I really don't understand the point you're trying to make.

It became a popular meme because it reinforced the idea that we needed to import more H1-Bs to fill these roles that are going unfilled. Please don't be so naive.
Couple of things about Zoho that I don't understand.

- Why use the same domain for the free service, which is usually more prone to abuse?

- Zohocorp.com is hosted on GoDaddy. Why not move all your domains to a single company so that they value your business more and give you a better level of customer service?

I hope once this is all over, Zoho just shares their feedback and some advices that will help small businesses.

And yet as a employee of Google the question that you should be concerned with is how this impacts you. Given that GDPR was explicitly intended to punish big American companies for violating the privacy of Europeans, you should read the GDPR carefully from the point of view of, "Would the people who wrote this intend for my employer to get hit by my behavior?"

For a cautionary note, consider carefully how Microsoft got away with losing antitrust lawsuit after antitrust lawsuit and laughing about the consequences...until the EU decided to raise the stakes on them. And then read https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/27/the-largest-fines-dished-out... to remind yourself how the EU thinks of Google.

Now I personally am opposed to the EU approach. (The upcoming copyright laws are particularly worrisome to me.) But at some point Google is going to need to leave the EU, or else to follow EU law. I don't believe that Google is willing to exit the EU. In which case you should really be worried about parts of Google that are putting the whole company at risk by violating EU law. No matter what you, personally, think of said EU laws.

Snapchat and Instagram serve a completely different purpose to facebook though.
But the point of a cheaper project that has more likelihood of failure is that you could try again. You can even learn from the previous failure to reduce the likelihood of failure on the second attempt. Plus, since you've done a lot of the development for the first mission, you probably can save a lot of time and money. But that's armchair space exploration engineering. I could be completely wrong in my assumptions.

That being said, what is non compressible, though, is the time to get to where we need to go (Mars, Ryugu, or whatever else in space), and having to retry is a set back that can be counted in large number of years.
