True, but your linked article states that the down payment must be between 35 and 50 percent. That provides a huge buffer for the bank should they need to foreclose.

Of course, that says nothing about where the money came from in the first place.
What sort of preferred shares are they? the one I know of effectively a form of debt with no voting rights.
Only on the very surface. Sleep apnea is relatively easy to test for. ME/CFS sufferers experience a kind of fatigue that is distinctly different from that caused by sleep deprivation. Look up PEM / PENE:

That doesn't help when geometry is a target for shading.
I think NetApp is in Raleigh, Dell too.
False dichotomy. There are more options than those. SystemD won because it had been adopted already and was supported by a major company in FOSS
I've seen RedHat (via JBoss) knowingly patent work they read in a research paper without referencing or funding them. I was positive it was for a reward, as there was no additionally novel ideas in their descriptions and similar work was already open sourced. I knew it wouldn't hold up so it didn't bother me as impacting my projects, but I was disappointed over the ethics of them doing that. I do wonder how many patent rewards are given for someone else's work by farming from the research community.
Also, gaussians are great approximations for large n, too, since the convolution of any distribution with itself n times (for n "large enough") is close to gaussian (by the CLT. More generally, there are very nice error estimates for many distributions).

I suspect this analysis can be carried out and yield quite good results in the gaussian case (a careful analysis might even yield error bounds on the result).
HN is, at least in name, about stuff that gratifies "intellectual curiosity", not pruient or morbid curiosity.
> Red Hat shareholders just sold out. Goddamnit.

RedHat is a public company, in what fantasy land do you exist where this isn't expected?

Furthermore, the deal is still subject to shareholder approval:

> The acquisition has been approved by the boards of directors of both IBM and Red Hat. It is subject to Red Hat shareholder approval. It also is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. It is expected to close in the latter half of 2019.

So you really should be complaining that RedHat's board of directors just sold out, and that's their fiduciary duty.
Try vanilla Debian. I really don't get the fascination with Ubuntu - modern Debian does all the same things, and in many cases it does it better (saner defaults, less opinionated).

And if one really needs a "one click out of the box" desktop distro, then Mint.
LMAO, I like yours better.
Police states exist. It's a genuine possibility that your "nothing to fear" argument ignores.
What's the legality of making your own pdf of Goodfellow's book from the html?
as a former lyft driver my advice is:

why don't you three star and leave a message to the driver ("hey, your TPMS is on")
They must claim different averages on different pages, https://oxfordcycling.uk/about-us/ says 12-13mph.

Yes, of course downhill is faster. On a mountain bike I've only knowingly once managed to break 30mph, but that was going for it and definitely not erring on being safe. My average road speed at the time was about 15mph.

The top speed for powered cycles should be around the normal average as then there's not a large differential between powered and unpowered bikes making it safer when they share road space.
In this context, the only thing that matters is whether Oracle's strategy is more successful at generating profits than RedHat's. Is it?

Bicycles aren't legal on UK pavements either. If you're forced onto the road there isn't any benefit to an e-scooter vs an e-bike.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18144169
That simply isn’t true. A lot of states or cities have laws saying bicycles must operate like a vehicle, because it moves closer to vehicle speeds instead of pedestrians. Which isn’t why bicycles aren’t often illegal on sidewalks.

Scooters, electric ones, moved closer to bicycle speed and yet many cities treat scooters closer to pedestrians.
Good point. In the particular case of slack, I think there are other ways to retain the benefits of the "hammer" without smashing your thumb every day, as it were.
Europe has software patents but (this was the advice given to me) the bar to obtain one is very high.

Otherwise you may apply for patents in any country that has them. And indeed you need to file in each country where you want protection.
Is there a hell for corporations?

To add some substance to my comment. I’ve interacted with IBM in different scenarios. I’ve had to manage a team of IBM consultants at work, very frustrating experience. I still shed tears every time I think the hourly rate paid vs the value they provided. When Watson was being hipped the company I was working for was approached to use the tech and come up with some PoCs, the dissonance between the biz dev pitch and the actual “solution” was abismal. Currently I’m at a different company and we have IBM as one of our customers, the image that comes to mind is a headless chicken running around.
That is to say, not a very impressive impression. I’ve to say that I’ve seen some interesting stuff as well. But I’m still very sad about the buyout
He's talking about IBM global services. If you had an exceptional experience with an IT department outsourced to IGS you'd be the first.
It's not entirely true that in Europe that software patents don't exist.

From: https://fsfe.org/campaigns/swpat/swpat.en.html
"The European Patent Convention states that software is not patentable. But laws are always interpreted by courts, and in this case interpretations of the law differ. So the European Patents Office (EPO) grants software patents by declaring them as "computer implemented inventions". "

There's 20,000 hits for a Google patent search for patents assigned to SAP (https://patents.google.com/?assignee=SAP+SE+)
Has Richard Stallman responded yet? I'd be interested to see if any of the legends of Linux have commented and what they have to say.
I wonder if the Fedora community could immediately fork off their own and essentially "leave" IBM/RH hanging? Not even sure if that is legally possible now, as the terms of the sale could have potentially included looming/upcoming license changes that might prevent that. I'd say they'd have to act quick and with their general feeling on whether they'd want to go that route (the Fedora community), and I'm sure their would still be legal challenges from IBM in any case if they attempted something like that.
I think you would both be well served by targeting WASM or Lua as your next compilation target.
I don't get it, you had a colouring by numbers book with your own picture in? Sorry, I'm missing something, ELI5?
Good luck IT-blessing kernel changes at BigCo-s. And what would be the purpose of a BigCo buying RHEL if one has to mock around with kernel afterwards? Anyway though, the RH not being a cloud player that has been making it obsolete too.
> House prices have fallen in the Bay Area, I've been keeping an eye on it.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SFXRSA is bit lagged (most recent data is july) but doesn't seem down?

Is rent control common in the south bay? AFAICT, there's only Mountain View which passed by ballot initiative in 2016.
Just 'Big Red Hat'
It also seems like a cultural issue to me. Americans seem so opposed to the idea of labour unions and workplace councils, because it somehow "hurts companies"?

it is probably for historical reasons of the cold war, but fascinating nonetheless.
how do you then regulate the drivers so that the drivers don't all go hang out some place where it's inconvenient to take rides and nobody gets rides and the drivers suck up a free salary?

NB: I did this to great effect when uber offered me a signing bonus.
It's very unlikely, having been through a ton of m/as on a lot of sides.
Agreed about DB2, although I don't believe the innovation there is as strong as at once was. We run it on Redhat so this might actually bode well for us. Until it comes time to renew our Redhat licenses at least...
Maybe for hardware. There are pretty good about hardware support. At two companies I worked at we got people sent to us for on-site repair.

Their software support is something else. I haven't had to use IBM tooling in a while, but back when I did, everything they sold was absolutely fucking terrible (DB2, RAD, WebSphere, Clear Case, Tivoli) compared to many open source equivalents.

The only reason people buy this rubbish is because they're in an old company (bank, insurance, etc.) that has relied on it for ages and don't care about the inefficiency or cost.
ME/CFS is an under-researched, multi-system disease that affects people in a multitude of ways and is very hard to diagnose. There are no accepted bio-markers yet. There are, however, many well-respected researchers in the field, and more are beginning to enter it from all kinds of disciplines. Basically none of them think this is a psychosomatic illness. This is a good place to start for getting an overview of interesting current research: https://www.omf.ngo/the-end-mecfs-project-2/
A Look at Gab, 'Free Speech' Social Site Where Synagogue Shooting Suspect Posted
That appears to be a ride where they've deliberately set a slower pace for a ride based around socializing. 12-13 mph is about right if you're going to be leisurely carrying on conversations with fellow riders. Any faster and wind noise becomes an issue. I can't talk to my fellow riders at 20+mph.

"lycra clad racing-bike riders" ride far faster.

Capping a vehicle at 15mph means you'll be constantly getting passed on trails. I have ridden a 15mph capped scooter, I was one of the slowest vehicles in my local area that day. I returned it.
At a former employer, we were heavily invested in Purify, Quantify et al. When taken over by IBM, the license management cost at our side increased an order of magnitude -- not for the products per se but by the administration of the licenses.

Even though we loved the products, we found it was increasingly not worth it. 'Killed by license management', has a nice ring to it :)
Well no, but no law needed here. You see, this is part of the deal with Jim Whitehurst and rest of Red Hat management, otherwise, Jim would not pitch this to shareholders as a good deal. It would be a hostile takeover, which can fail, or lead at the end of IBM buying just a shell of the company.

So to back up their intentions, IBM probably had to give golden parachutes to Jim, Paul, and rest of Red Hat top execs, and probably huge golden parachutes ones at that. Jim is becoming part of IBM uper management and keeps leading the Red Hat business unit. If Gini starts some crazy moves to endanger Red Hat's well being as an entity inside IBM (as in IBM-fying the company), she will get at odds with Jim and RH upper management. So she can fire them all and pay up bilions in golden parachutes, at which point they will probably found a Green Hat company and hire away all Red Hat employees... or Gini can keep her word in the deal and leave Red Hat a separate business unit within IBM, one that grows revenues and profits, unlike most IBM business units. And IBM is a meritocracy, if Red Hat continues good performance, expect Red Hat execs taking top position, including next CEO role. In other words, I expect IBM to be Redhatized, and not other way around.
From the photo of the switch, I'd say the package design could use improvement. The orientation of it is not obvious.
You could make a hell of a lot more than fifty bucks on that prediction.
I grieve the most that this will really weaken the argument for commercial free software. We could always say, look at Red Hat, they don't sell a drop of non-free software. It's possible to be free and commercial!

I doubt Red Hat will continue to operate this way, especially if they are receiving money from IBM's other ventures. I hope there's room for another Red Hat in this world.
Only if you bought something from from them based on those promises.

Be sure to collect & notarize proof.
Can you give reference(s) for that beginner’s mistake? I’ve never heard it before and it’s definitely something I do. Would love to learn more about this!
Thanks. I'm even younger than your friend (29 male)! Never noticed any apnea myself or any problems that would not be explained by this disease, so I'm hoping for complete resolution of all issues. Maybe even my mild tinnitus (constant high-pitched noise, unconcerning) will get better, I guess it could be due to the ossicles getting demineralized :)
I got a bad flu (or similar) in 2001 and never recovered fully. It was like half my energy capacity went permanently missing. I had been quite active and athletic, but that all ended. I did as much as I could, and, despite needing to drop out of school, managed all right for nearly a decade, although I would burn out every few months if I tried to accomplish anything. In 2012 I got a nasty tooth and sinus infection that laid me out completely. I spent all my energy for the next few years trying to get to the bottom of my issue through a bunch of doctors and tons of tests, and came out the other side with the "non-diagnosis" of chronic fatigue syndrome.

I always knew CFS fit my condition, but ignored it because there was no cure or effective treatment. But once I started to look more closely at it, I discovered some useful community wisdom out there: The crippling symptoms are mainly triggered by overexertion, and can often be managed by lots of rest and very strict pacing at all times. Since that discovery, my life has become extremely boring in many ways, but the worst of the symptoms -- crushing depression, pain, restlessness, brain fog, dizziness, and many others -- have largely abated. I can do a few things if I'm careful. There is some promising research ongoing, although not nearly enough, and I'm hoping that I don't have to spend the rest of my life on the couch.
One paradox of crypto currency is that people attack it for assisting money laundering, when the current financial and regulatory system is so enormously effective at accomplishing that task.
Agreed. I'm not advocating for slack. I'm more advocating that slack isn't strictly bad like some seem to be saying. It can work. It can also be misused.
Now talking seriously, even if IBM stopped funding the project, it wouldn't be such a disaster. First of all, it's open source. A new mantainer could take over the project (for free) so the distributions can keep using it. But even if a replacement had to be found, the process wouldn't be traumatic... just like when Debian, the base of many other distributions, adopted systemd some years ago.
> Google Maps has very good transit support too.

Where do you live? I'm guessing the bay area?

I was carless in DC for a year and Google Maps was ALWAYS wrong about when busses when arrive. My friend recommended an app called Transit which was right about 90% of the time, which was a godsend for me.
I would stay away from upstart because canonical. SysV, yes in the blink of an eye.

But you are mistaken if you think systemd is about init, it has gobbled so much stuff that this thing is a monstrous kitchen sink on its way to engulfing the whole bathroom.

then again maybe there are other init systems options than those two, devuan which arose from keeping systemd out of debian offert no less than 6 alternatives that address SysV flaws: openrc, sinit, runit, s6 and shepherd.
The whole point of character assassination is to make people less likely to actually read it.
Nope. The OP is talking about cultural appropriation as if Quebec and Canada were 2 different places. They’re not.
What are you disagreeing with? Having a PhD is an indicator that you at least got a PhD. Better if it’s a good school or they know your advisor. You can’t take it for much more than that, but it isn’t an empty achievement either.

Also, there is no data for a lot of things.
You usually can't hold on to options for longer than three months after you leave a company, right? You'd have had to exercise them.
Bang commands are such a wonderful feature on DDG. Not just for searching other engines when the DDG results aren't what I'm looking for but also for ecommerce sites. The frontpage of most sites are extremely heavyweight and you have to go through a ton of garbage just to get to a search box. Being able to add !homedepot to a DDG search and have it send me to the search results page at Home Depot and not the DDG spidering of the site is pretty nifty feature. I do most of my searches of shopping sites that way now.
But I think that's part of the barrier of entry for a small restaurant. I enjoy supporting local food trucks, and while the food is good, the workflow is terrible. If you look at a quick service restaurant as a logistics company, they are successful at getting completing the transaction and delivery quickly.

For a small restaurant to be successful, while quality is still a necessity, their pseudo "supply chain management" process needs to avoid as many bottlenecks as possible.
That doesn't sound like a problem with scooters on the sidewalk, but with riders not being courteous - and the appropriate fix is for people to take appropriate care, not to boot scooters onto the road.

It doesn't surprise me that there are teething issues. Scooters are new and most people haven't learnt how to ride one without making other people feel uncomfortable. That will change in time.
Others pointed out that the Github merger wasn’t all positive, but Microsoft is at least a software company.

IBM is a consulting company and their model is really different than RedHat.

Competing with AWS and Microsoft is pretty crazy and does not make sense to me. RedHat’s value is in its software, not its cloud delivery.

And, frankly, I depend a little more on centos/fedora than I do Github.
Interesing & very "gettable" analogy. In fact it's so apt, that it captures the feature most salient to me in all 3 examples: By insisting on things that, in the eyes of their more powerful adversaries, are minor or insignificant differences, they squander goodwill, make enemies out of allies, and make the movement weaker (or fail to make it stronger). It's a political blunder. In the case of the JPF/PFJ against the Romans it's obviously comic, but in the other two cases it's kind of tragic. BLM alienates a certain number of white people who aren't racists and want to work with them toward reform. Stallman maybe alienates a certain number of "open sourcers" who actually share most of his values & principles, certainly more than 1995 Bill Gates or 2001 Steve Ballmer did, let's say!

So yeah I might do that part differently if I were Stallman or in charge of BLM. Although I suppose in neither case is there really anybody truly "in charge," which at least in my experience with FOSS I always thought was the beauty of it. (That's another thing too, how can you "co-opt" something nobody owns?)

At some point you have to get shit done. Granted I'm advancing a position right now that leads to all sorts of compromise (in the one sense but also unfortunately in the other sense) and slippery-slope-ism and lesser-of-two-evils-ism. But somewhere I heard the saying, "There's nothing more useless than an unelected liberal." In other words the purity of your ideas does nobody any good if your hands aren't on the levers of power. Hi Hillary! (HRC disclaimers apply; see store for details.) That saying comes from the hierarchical model, obviously, but to translate it into a 'community movement' paradigm, power is simply the number of people participating. If you chop that in half, you chop everybody's power in half.
The only thing a Ph.D. does is teach you how to formulate and defend a thesis, according to traditional philosophical tenents, and possibly using the statistics and relevant courses you took while getting a masters. It doesn't take you further or deeper into your chosen path of study. It enables you to publish research articles, for when/if you become a professor and learn how to navigate ridculous politics within University departments. That's it. If you want ti build AI, then go learn how to do it. Don't waste your time getting a PhD. Your time willbe much better spent and rewarded.
Can we please stop wildly exaggerating every attempt to remove graffiti and trolling from the Internet as equivalent to invoking the “thought police”? Nobody is sending the authorities after you for entering overtly-racist searches into Google.

Have you learned literally nothing from the utter disaster that was Tay[1]?

"IBM further says, "Upon closing of the acquisition, Red Hat will join IBM's Hybrid Cloud team as a distinct unit, preserving the independence and neutrality of Red Hat's open source development heritage and commitment, current product portfolio and go-to-market strategy, and unique development culture. Red Hat will continue to be led by Jim Whitehurst and Red Hat's current management team. Jim Whitehurst also will join IBM's senior management team and report to Ginni Rometty. IBM intends to maintain Red Hat's headquarters, facilities, brands and practices.""
IBM is, as far a I can tell, the best example of a "mixed bag" in tech. I have heard both great and terrible things about IBM from customers, employees, developers on Open Source projects, etc. They are a huge organization, and one that seems more divided than many.

It may be more useful to view IBM as a collection of fiefdoms rather than a single, focused, entity. Yes, the money all goes into one pot at the end of the day, but there's large variance across organizations within IBM.

That said, from what I can tell OSS that goes into the IBM machine doesn't usually come out the other side improved. I worry for the health of CentOS/RHEL/Fedora under IBM's leadership. My desktop and server OS of choice, with a few brief forays into other territories along the way, has been from Red Hat for 23 years. I'd hate to lose Fedora or CentOS, or see them stagnate. Red Hat has been among the most steadfast in their support of Open Source software, as well...so, there's a real risk of the kernel, Gnome, and other OSS core infrastructure suffering, because Red Hat is a major contributor to those projects.

I don't think it'll be sudden. It usually takes years for projects to become clearly worse for having come under IBM's purview. Red Hat is large itself, and will probably take years to be fully assimilated and homogenized into IBM's lukewarm culture of mere competence with regard to their Open Source contributions.
Sounds like you should check out VR. There's not much in terms of development tools yet, due to the low angular resolution of current gen hardware, but once it gets there it could enable what you're talking about.
> How will unlicensed restaurants be enforced?

One story about a dead cockroach or rat feces making into a meal will let market forces take care of it. The story doesn’t even have to be true.
It's been my experience that engineers are quite poor at judging the "patentability" of ideas. I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that the patent field is quite opaque and difficult to understand, which is why patent lawyers do quite well.
You include it in their onboarding
