This might not be legal, and is one of the large problems that needs to be resolved. You individually are listed in this law as a "designated service provider", and thus you can't really pass the buck to your employer.

There is a valid question as to whether you are listed as a "designated service provider" if the only time you ever developed the relevant software under s317C(6) was as part of a job. But software developers that have done free software work outside of their job definitely would be counted.

As always, I would suggest you get legal council before doing anything in response to a notice -- even throwing it back in the face of the AG.
Since the subject is the Netherlands, I have a hard time reconciling the position that it should be legal to sell one's body (prostitution) but illegal to sell one's body (blood, marrow, cadavers, organs upon death).
There is little reason to believe that China would expand beyond its historical borders, they have enough people and land as is.
I agree.

Arguing facts is one thing, ad hominem attacks, on the other hand, are not acceptable; e.g. "your little country". Play the ball not the player.
> They're poor, hostile and struggling in all aspects (pick your favorite ranking metric) with only one exception - Singapore.

What about Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and more notably Russia and China? I don't think any of them qualify as poor and struggling?

Also, causation and correlation. Poverty might be related to authoritarian, but not necessarily caused by it. For example, many counties are poor because of colonialism and the political vacuum left over when they gained independence.

In addition, looking at stats in this way is prone to sampling bias. If you take a look at the list of non authoritarian counties, many of them might not be necessarily doing better.

> I expect them to not make excuses for getting the wrong answers.

Ok. Do you think it would be good to fire all the professors who made more than zero mistakes on the quiz? I agree that mistakes are bad. I don't think all policies of the form "inflict punishments on people who make mistakes" are a good idea.

It's easier to fix stupid mistakes on homework, when you have plenty of time and can consult the textbook and such. Therefore, if, as I advocate, students are permitted to base their grade solely on test scores, then, to the extent that they do this, this will actually increase the degree to which students are punished for stupid mistakes. So if you hate mistakes that much, you should support such a policy and encourage students to make that choice.

I submit that, at least for seriously-sized tests (like a final, usually at least an hour long), for a student to become practiced enough to expect to get a perfect score, with enough confidence to make it worth jeopardizing their grade if they did make a single mistake, is a difficult enough task that almost no one would do it. Therefore, the "perfect score on test => homework doesn't matter" would do very little to incentivize students to take the "tests-only, harsh punishment for mistakes" option. Therefore, my proposed "anyone can choose tests-only" option is better.

You didn't clarify whether "ace a test" meant "perfect" or just "really good score". I'm now guessing it's the latter. That is much more achievable, and certainly would have covered most of the scenarios I'm thinking of.
I find this potentially very dangerous because this may motivate people who are supposed to save you to value the value of your body parts over the value of your life.

Asians as a group have more economic success and security than whites do. But they're right to complain about love. Economic success doesn't mean much by itself, unless your idea of the good life is to sit in the dark muttering over your big pile of gold.

What do you find so bad on windows 10?

What I dislike is the telemetry, the fact that they install so much garbage by default and even when I remove it they reinstall it with the next update and I fear they will start pushing ads in the future.

Other than that I'm pretty happy with Windows for desktop and Linux for server.

If you want a trackpad as good as the macbook one there is no alternative. I really like the Matebook X Pro, it is a beast.
This is more relevant for people like me that use Linux as their main desktop, but you don't have to choose just one. Both Mac Minis(and Apple Laptops) and NUCs have good resale value. Get a monitor that can take multiple inputs and then get keyboard and mouse sharing software.
No, the ten VMs are not there for scalability or reliability, they're there because there are ten teams building the essential components of Cloud Foundry, and the BOSH model is that each component gets its own VM.

> multiplication (product rule) doesn't seem to be handled there (only `def_linear(anp.multiply)`)

def_linear is what handles the product rule. Other product operations (like anp.cross, anp.inner etc.) are implemented the same way. It's called "linear" because products are multi-linear functions, i.e. they are linear in each individual argument and you can get the derivative with respect to each parameter by simple substitution. (x+Δx)y - xy = Δxy. Together with the chain-rule for multi-parameter functions, the classic product rule falls out for free.

Do you have a reason to consider 2008 as normal?
No. It is not a holistic view or a broader perspective or things like that. It is about viewing from a narrow angle and calling it the whole truth.

France24 reported that the number of protesters is slightly down and that the Netherlands have also had peaceful protests.

Times in UK reported that "hundreds of online accounts linked to Russia" were used to fire up the demonstrations. Disinformation and pictures of injured protesters from other events were used to tell a story of brutal French authorities.

Guess what RT and friends bring up in their reporting, and how they present it?

Works the same on Windows. For Android Hangouts you just have to allow desktop notifications in GMail. But it's actually better, if you enable Google Voice, you can make phone calls from your computer, and you can receive phone calls on your computer.
Peterson is well aware of the differences in brain chemistry between lobsters and humans, but this difference is not incompatible with the claim that hierarchies have existed well before human societies, and that serotonin levels correspond to the position in that hierarchy for both lobsters and humans. If you can find a biologist to refute this, then your argument would have merit.
He's repeating the phrasing of the original poster.
I don't think that's sufficient. We need devices that only allow software to run that has been signed by TPM-resident keys on the device. Updates are only attempted to be installed if the binary has been signed by multiple keys (by people in different jurisdictions) and then the device prompts the user to sign the update (which requires entering the TPM passphrase). Even if you managed to compromise all of the developers you couldn't run signed code on the device -- you'd need the user to install it.

And for bonus brownie points we could have reproducible build checking (a-la certificate transparency) against the source repo, to see whether the binary is different to the official one. However, I think the threat model might have to be reconsidered (if all the developers are compromised, couldn't they upload a bad hash to the certificate transparency trail with a dummy version that only one user is given?).

I might write a blog post about this actually, though I'd need better experts than myself in IMA (which is what you'd use on Linux for this) and other secure-boot work.
Those are two different things. Loneliness is more about important relationships with people who matter to you and you matter to them. You don't have to be outgoing and chat with everybody to have that. Outgoing people easy to chat with can still be lonely, deep friendship is not the same as chatting briefly in a bus.
The punishment for non-compliance is civil fines, not gaol time. However I believe it's technically possible for them to push you into bankruptcy by making many requests and revoking them after you refuse them (fining for each copy of the request they resend to you).

Author believes Apple is becoming evil because they intentionally slow their devices to force upgrades—not true, or, at the very least, not that simple.

The only thing “evil” about Apple is the pricing. No way around it, it’s getting expensive. But you also get a transparency and simplicity for your money (no telemetry, no ads, just dongles :) ).

In particular, it seems to me you can get all your data out if desired.

Not everything at the <£100 price point is rubbish...

I recently got a £20 Havit Bluetooth receiver and connected it to a pair of £70 Sony MDR-7506 headphones. The receiver drives the headphones louder and with less distortion than my iPhone can, and the battery lasts for a few days of intermittent listening. Whatever loss is introduced by the aptX coding is invisible to my ears.

I'm blown away by how good this setup is given the price and there shouldn't be any dependency on an expensive source device to run it.
Most of it.

This will not give you malware unless you actually run something from the USB, AFAIK.

That’s an interesting definition of “bleeding edge tech”. Usually I treat Linux a place where operating system experiments are tested first.

Disagree strongly, but that is my opinion.

Whether Apple is “evil” is a personal opinion, but saying Apple makes iPhones slow is a gross misrepresentation at best.

Um, no? If they aren't given custody of the body, they don't have to dispose of the corpse. The family would have to do that.

Prelude> y f = f (y f)
Prelude> :type y
y :: (t -> t) -> t

Because f is applied to an argument, it must be a function of generic type t -> u. Because y is applied to f, it must be a function of type (t -> u) -> v. Then the type of y f is v. Because f is applied to y f, t = v. Then the type of f (y f) is u. Because y f is defined as f (y f), the two expressions need to have the same type, t = u. Therefore f is of type t -> t and y is of type (t -> t) -> t.

That doesn't actually change much. Average income in 1900 was $438, which is $13,186.15 in 2018 dollars. And 1900 was a low point historically more so than now is a high point. The worst of the gilded age exploitation was happening then, causing huge poverty.
A decade? Off the top of my head, in the last decade Apple has pushed high-density and color accurate displays, fast SSDs, dropped the DVD drive, adopted three revisions of the Thunderbolt standard, and set the standard for most other laptop manufacturers.

I had trouble making friends untill i came across a movie called "The Social Network".

Before, i was like Zuck (fb founder, the one who blogged about his girlfriend) from the movie, very annoying but always spewing ultimate truth regardless of whether it hurts people or not.

Now i act like Sean Parker (Napster founder, the one who brought Peter Theil on board as an investor) from the movie, either people ignore me or become my friend.

Those of you who go blank at new people. I suggest you pick a character and play it with all honesty, if nothing atleast it will be entertaining.

Are there other movies which teach you how to make friends?
If you are lucky, you can contact a manufacturer of pressure sensor and hope that 1) they will answer a small customer 2) the guy answering really knows his stuff. Big names in the space would be Honeywell or TE Connectivity.

As so happens I worked with pressure sensors before. My slightly above noob answer would be that most pressure sensors aren't suitable for you both in form factor and cost. Normally built to connect to some tube.

A load cell that goes into a scale might work, but that could get expensive if you need many data points.

If you need MANY data points and have low accuracy requirements (like if you want to draw a heat map) you could create a network of piezoelectric films. Piezoelectric materials generate a charge upon pressure. This would be trickier to make if there isn't one on market.
I have mixed feelings about such fixed gender only programs. I mean, e.g. in order to "compensate" for enslaving of Afro-Americans in the past, should we enslave Euro-Americans nowadays?
> > And useState Hook does exactly the same thing.

Except it does more bookkeeping behind the scenes to know which state you want (since you're not passing in an identificator). Wonder why they chose that solution, as it's just more magic for really no gain, and it will give you funny bugs if you call it in a loop or in a condition.
I love how people can do this type of stuff. Whenever I get out the soldering iron to fix any problems, I face a 50% chance of success against 50% chance of fucking it beyond repair. Well, I guess it fixes it in both cases...
Institutional sexism is the discrimination against one gender by means of actual rules, such as a rule stating that a particular job can only be filled by a specific gender.

Is this institutional sexism?
Tell that to Hong Kong, Tibet and Taiwan, as well as all the countries suffering from their South China Sea territorial claims.

Well, neither do I to be fair. I seriously dislike iTunes but it can take more input than just the store..

Regardless of the official Music player app there are third party ones, some of which are super simple (presenting a http upload on the network and allowing playback of uploaded media) or, in my case, Plex (with a plex pass for local sync)

Python beginner here - I would suggest looking at Flask or Django and getting that running on a local webserver before being concerned with deploying it to something like AWS. There are plenty of tutorials on getting Flask, etc working, and I think it's important to have your head round what you're doing locally before you need to worry about the challenges that deploying what you've made will bring you. I've been using Pyramid because I like Mike Kennedy's approach [1], and have built a couple of things that are useful so far.

Blood replenishes though. It's not really a body part in that way, just like hair. (I don't know if regular donation has any long-term effects?) In that sense (no permanent impact) I'd see a greater problem with poverty driving people into working as miners or soldiers, than as blood donors.

Semantics aside, the real problem is the (desperation of) poverty, not the results of it.
Maybe I need to rephrase. I meant that many people imagine Component class as being the meat of the codebase, heavily operating on `this` and updating things on it.

Similarly folks often imagine `this.state` being the source of truth (and thus Hooks seem too ephemeral).

But both of them are indirections to the same place elsewhere. And state for both of them is kept in the renderer. For classes it’s synced to `this.state` at the last moment so you can read it but `this` is not the source of truth.
Blood is not really a body part in the way most people think of it. It’s much closer to saliva in that it’s generated by the body and used up fairly quickly. Red blood cells for example live for around 120 days which is limited because they don’t have DNA.

I suspect this is an adaptation to both increase hemoglobin transport, but also to reduce cancer risks.
Yes, same experience and timeline. I tried improving my social skills to catch up, and I did, but years later I realized that all I needed were a few (or one) good friend. That's where the value is at, although I suppose having many friends helps you get to that point.
These days consumer Win10 seems to be a data harvesting tool and ongoing beta test.

Android may be "open source", but it means little if you're not a company wanting to write their own clone, or a security researcher.

Would I be able to fix just the media player service, and make my smartphone use the fixed version? Without flashing it with a brand new OS, losing data, warranty, OEM drivers, and ability to receive security updates? Didn't think so. Android "open source" delivers only half of the expected value.
