The email I received from about my real-name being leaked was signed with "The Quora Team". That's kinda ironic, don't you think?

But still, it is not about finger pointing and blaming one individual. It is about a spokeperson for the public.

The guarantee that things will improve. Someone who will handle announcements and communications with the public and will vouch using their real name and reputation that things will improve. Someone who will explain what went wrong and what actions are taken to ensure this does not happen again. Employee training in place? Tier'ed access of data and information to employees. Stricter policies, eg you can't take a database backup home? etc etc.

Again, no crucifixation required, but pinning an identity can be good, because you know that there is someone and who that someone is that puts all their energy into fixing this mess.

Think of someone like Stamos at facebook. I don't know if his contribution in the end was a net positive or not, but it is good to know that there is someone that is focused on the issue.
Advanced CLI Tool Development with JavaScript and OClif
When you deploy a traditionally configured application to the server you will have a bazillion credentials to access different stuff like databases, external systems. Think how you are going to secure that key store you need for SSL? What is the point of having it encrypted when the password lies in a configuration file two folders away?

Vaults like this allow you to not have that cryptographic material on the server.

Now, this doesn't solve all problems. As you mentioned, when you have breached server security you have access to everything.

But, there are other problematic situations that this helps solve. Now you don't have to provide secrets when you are building images and you will not have secrets on the filesystem when somebody only gains partial access that lets him only read files.

This also lets you see who and when is accessing secrets and lets you manage secrets (think how you are going to replace database password?)
Look into "NEC Commercial Displays". They're intended for use as signage and things, but most of them are full TVs with ATSC tuners, remote controls, speakers, and everything. They generally do not have any smart functionality, but often have serial ports or interfaces for adding your own. They are often slightly more expensive than the more encumbered displays, but not by much.

The biggest problem that I've found with them is that they're not available at your local store, so you pretty much have to just buy one sight-unseen and hope it looks good when it arrives.

I got the NEC E554 from Amazon, and left a 3-star review for it there.

there are a few things about Flux that bugs me. It automatically assumes that I want to optimize matrix multiplications by parallelizing those against cores, which has Amdahl scaling, instead of parallelizing across samples in the batch, which has Gustafson scaling. It would probably help if batches and minibatches (or something like that) were datatypes, which they are not. Doing something like this would probably also help with distributing computation, down the line.

I'm also not entirely sure what is going on under the hood with Tracker types, and the documentation is not that great, which became a problem when I was trying to chase down errors in something really custom I was doing.

I much prefer Knet's way of autodifferentiating, which is more intuitive to me, but Knet's layering doesn't feel as nice as Flux's.

I really wish GPU computation in Julia had a different semantic - by making it a 'virtual computational node', accessible using Distributed module with the same semantics as a totally separate node. That would really make async distributed batch processing a thing, the system could profile all the nodes in use and if we really want to get fancy be able to use something like JUMP to make best use of the processing power available to it.
It won't have any dramatic impact but I would bet there's some. A decent number of people will read this article and think something like, "Wow, that's a pretty shady thing Samsung did there". This won't swing anyone from being a huge Samsung fan to someone who hates the company, but most people are somewhere on a spectrum in the middle.

The next time I buy a phone I'll probably be vacillating between several imperfect options and something like this could consciously or subconsciously tip a close decision towards picking a Pixel or LG phone.
>Where are you that high school only covers up to precalculus? In Australia (depending on the level) you do multivariate calculus among other things. Perhaps other subjects aren't covered as deeply.

I'm from the US. The state of mathematics education here is absolutely embarrassing to pretty much any other developed country. Taking precalculus is actually considered advanced, most students graduate with nothing more than an "Algebra" class that covers basic algebraic notation, quadratic equations, linear equations, and not much beyond that. Calculus 1 (single variable) is considered an advanced math class that is only taken by STEM majors for freshman university students here.
My assumption is that the Bixby app is the point. It's the only way they can get recurring revenue out of you, the TV is a loss-leader to grease its installation.

I guess the smart features don't add a huge amount to the purchase price but it would be nice not to have to pay for a bunch of features I don't need.

No TV tuner, no WiFi, no ethernet, no loudspeakers. Just a great quality display with a few HDMIs please.
That's interesting considering Linux on mobile.

My internal definition is something close to "7-steps removed"; yak-shaving is yak-shaving when you end up pretty far from the problem itself; whether its actually good or required is independent, just the fact that it might be time to start wondering if you went on too many tangents.

Eg quintessential example of knuth -- everything he did was good work, and in the end useful for his overarching goals... but at some point in the middle of that situation its time to start wondering if he's gone off the deep end. Whether you decide yes or no, it doesn't matter, you're still deep in yak territory

I wonder if anyone did/could use it to buy real estate before HQ2 was announced. I don't know if the person in charge of finding the real estate was high enough to fly private.
I'm not saying no organization should be punished for the bad acts of members. I'm saying that one needs to consider the scale of the bad acts before pushing for punishment of an organization. Because there is always an opportunity cost, and you can't punish every organization that has someone who behaves badly(because that is every organization), so you need to pick and choose which ones are the worst offenders. And, personally, I don't think using a stock photo to show off the blur feature, instead of a photo directly from the phone camera, is worthy of punishing Samsung.

> This is not at all a theoretical problem. Deliberately inducing withdrawal races at ATMs is a widely reported type of fraud. Thus, databases need “external consistency”, colloquially known as ACID.

In all those fraud cases banks were actually running ACID databases as they always do. Because ACID has nothing to do with "external consistency", unless you can run it in a human brain, which you can't. Interactions with humans can only be eventually consistent. But nobody even bothers to have ACID all the way to the web browser or APIs, so it's only limited to the application, but not beyond that. With all the frauds and double spending problems remaining unsolved.

Overall the usual FaunaDB attacks on other systems, especially AP. Strong eventual consistency of AP systems is actually much stronger, than ACID and is much much easier to verify and AP is where the cutting edge of distributed systems research happens. But more importantly, SEC can offer the best theoretically possible performance and latency for multi datancenter deployments. While distributed ACID transactions don't even show viability in multi datacenter deployments at the moment, forcing vendors to degrade into weak consistency models in such setups.
It was exactly like that! Down to calling protagonists with their actors' real names.

Sounds like the accounting department created the system to fit into their workflow.

They can probably claim a credit on the sales taxes they’ve paid on the sales taxes they have to remit on their own sales (VAT/GST/HST).

Now it depends if the sales tax they paid is eligible for that (in country or foreign).
Well, for one thing: because then you don't get a bunch of viral news stories floating around saying stuff like "Samsung couldn't even use their own cameras to do their marketing." For another, because it sends a strong message that your phone cameras aren't up to professional quality standards, despite the fact that they might well be.

And for a final reason: because their leading competitor has made a huge deal about using their cameras to do advertising-quality shoots, which somewhat ups the bar for Samsung. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/10/shot-on-iphone-xs-use...
I don’t buy that one bit. They could easily change the disclaimer to say “photos are from pre-production hardware and may differ...”
No, that post is past its utility.
The difference is that with .NET Core they are committed to providing support for the cross platform implementation. With WPF they don't want to provide any official support or the idea that they might, so they're leaving the implementation up to 3rd parties that would be responsible for keeping the whole system working with any upstream changes.
May I ask how a drone can locate your apartment? Because I can easily imaging to give coordinates of a garden with a precision suitable for a delivery but I can't imaging something that can really work in apartments... Perhaps penthouse apartments, perhaps some new apartments with specially crafted sign to be identified with reasonable safety by the drone but certainly not something that can work at a scale...

But there is. The unused code is still shared.
I'm also a happy Bitwarden customer. I especially like that it is all Free Software (combination of GPL 3 and AGPL across various parts), which to me is important for security and privacy related software. I've also had good experiences with Bitwarden support from Kyle, the lead developer and founder.
> mostly because we don't see similar things pushed on overweight men

Well, because of gendered body stereotypes, lift and present isn't something anyone (approximately) wants with moobs, and anything that resembles a bra produces mockery, anyway.

But male-targeted control garments functionally equivalent to a combination sports bra and tummy girdle do exist for overweight men (the market for men who need moob control without tummy control is small enough that there doesn't seem to be anything targeted to them.)
Introducing DJI OsmoPocket
This is a choice that we made to show more the feature that Movim is providing as a user on the official website and let the information regarding the deployment available in our technical documentation.

Movim is a free software project developed by benevolent, we are focusing on packages and way to deploy it easily more than trying to invest time into building server architectures. Building a SaaS platform could be done with a partner (and I'd personally be glad to work on something like that) for example but it's not the goal of the project by itself.

The past few months were focused on cleaning up the PHP dependencies, porting Movim on SQLite (next to MySQL and PostgreSQL) and adapting the project to prepare a nice package for the upcoming Debian stable.

Is there still a rule that foreing companies can operate in China only if they are joint ventures with Chinese partners?

If so then the Chinese partners can get to know all the foreign IP.

I'm sure there will be show punishments under the new law, but through the joint ventures China can still get all the foreign tech knowledge it wants.

But, perhaps like other habits, you can find the root cause and your real motivations. What it gives you? What is the real reason behind it? Then try to change it with a good replacement that can give you the same benefits.
Bingo. You nailed it. I work in finance. Developed markets have efficient stock markets. They are highly liquid. The reality is that there's lot of people competing for the same profits. In reality when there's that many players, if there's a profit to be had from a dataset you will be buy from a vendor, chances are one of your many competitors already bought it and found it. This is why we now say don't try to beat the market, you likely can't and mostly just need to get lucky having the right holding when an unforeseen event occurs. Too many variables at play that we just don't understand. Most firms are buying these datasets to stay relevant but they really make no difference in their actual investing strategies.

"Don't keep data you don't need" is actually ~illegal (IANAL, obviously) in the UK.
Sounds like they should stick to hardware innovation and stop trying so hard on software.
Definitely seems to be a preference thing I guess. I'm like you, I find it more uncomfortable reading bright text on dark backgrounds that I often avoid sites that have that color scheme, if there is no "bright mode" available.
After my Nexus 5's power button finally gave out (third battery.) I upgraded to a LG V30. Had a similar feeling of lack of selection. Wanted to wait for the pixel 3 but it was way too far away.

The slippery glass back and round sides kills me. (Ducttapped the back panel/sides as a decent fix, black tape nobody ever asks, probly just think I'm poor eh)

Not happy with the weight on my pinky either. (Two hands required.) Size similar issue, can't type with one hand like I could with the nexus 5. There is a screen shrink feature but it's awkward and the weight is the real issue.

Software being non stock is annoying but you get used to it quick enough.

Other than those issues it's pretty decent.

Enjoying the 4k video, wide angle photos and software stabilizer a lot.

The dual Sim or sim+ micro SD feature comes in handy for travel/video shooting.

I probably wouldn't recommend unless you have money to burn or really need the video.

Something cheaper probably has relatively same specs/features.
Thanks for replying! That's all very interesting to hear. I am much like your explanation but just considered that to be "normal". Maybe I should explore the medication options I've been signposted to after all.. I once experimented with modafinil and it had similar effects to what you mention.
Except Adobe Air doesn't compile to native and the apps don't run until you nag the user to download the Air runtime.
Mine too, but he still says things like "I can't wait to get my own credit card so I can buy all the v-bucks I want". So there is still much to learn :)

Reasons to Scale Horizontally
And New York. And Chicago. And Houston (the squeegee guys). At least in the 90's and early 2000's.

Thanks to Lyft and Uber, I rarely drive when I'm in cities anymore, so I don't know if it's still a thing in the U.S.
I have a vendor that actually tries to submit videos as "documentation" for the projects that they work on. I keep telling them that videos are good for tutorials and presentations, but they are not documentation.

I catch it in the SOWs, but I missed it on the first few. They refused to provide written documentation saying it wasn't in scope, which was their right since it wasn't. I have never watched and critiqued videos for completeness before or since, but they would have been better off just providing the written docs, since they spent so much time adding and editing video content. They still try to sneak it in the SOW as if they learned nothing, and now it's just our little game we play.
How is that a mistake?

You've just described a composite, changeable entity that's unable to keep an eye on honesty, and as such one that is very likely to do the same again.
I'm 100% confident I've played that exact Tetris, but on Linux with Motif on X. So I think you'll find, if you poke around enough, that source code is alive and accessible.
git & github, c++ for programmers, and some introductory networking material was very helpful. Their css videos were helpful too for organizing the material in a nice way, and they direct you to the documentation that lets you continue the subjects on your own.

The trick with body weight exercise progression is to use leverage to increase the effective resistance. For example: http://stevenlow.org/the-fundamentals-of-bodyweight-strength...

Done correctly body weight alone can allow one to achieve great strength. In fact, it’s probably superior on account of gymnasts can easily do weight lifting exercises while weight training doesn’t really transfer to gymnastics.
"make bright comfortable" <- Yes, this. f.lux has been great for my eyes too.
What did the course cover?
Thanks for posting this. I used GeoWorks as well and marveled at how much OS/UI/app integration they packed into it. That the virtual memory and preemptive multitasking usably ran on a 286 juggling together fairly complex office style apps (word processor, drawing, spreadsheet) was jaw dropping.
woah. I posted my comment before I read any others. we had the same recollection about AOL (and had similar pc specs!)
Samsung just isn’t a company you can trust. Period. The only consumer product they make that’s even half decent are their SSDs and even those are starting to lose to competitors.

Their TVs alone have had so many instances of them injecting ads into the ui, to spying on what you watch in plex, and many more.

Last thing I’d want from Samsung is a phone.
Great response! Regarding naming we did not want to tie the company to a single project, not did we want the project to feel like a vendor driven project. So we went with different names completely :-)
That's a shame. Back when I was a full-time Linuxer, I used Konqueror as my default browser. The good ol' days of KHTML.

I am sure this will mess up some sites, but for the VAST majority of them this is awesome!
That's exactly what he says. People might disagree that this is the right approach, but I'm not sure what other ways anyone could interpret that talk.
that's not enterily true. on dailymotion videos also start with sound while the video is autoplayed.

As far as I know it has more todo with the visibility/size of the video.

Seems a bit too timely to be a coincidence, no?
Well, did Samsung promise this notification feature in their marketing campaign? I considered buying one for this exact feature, but decided not to buy it after TMobile sales folks confirmed that notification worked with Samsung apps only. I don't think however Samsung deliberately misled or lied. Now that isn't to say Samsung support is wonderful -- I personally wouldn't recommend buying anything other than TVs from Samsung.
Amazon seller here, around a decade of experience, doing low eight digits on mostly exclusive products (trademark+IP on products).

Out of curiosity, but to the layperson, does the Amazon third-party marketplace seem like an exciting place to be? I feel like in 2016-2017 all the pickaxe sellers were popping up, and by 2018 all I see are a ton of burnout in my circle of vendor friends as they deal with the constant influx of 3p vendors with blackhat tactics.
