My experience is, the more business traveler oriented the hotel, the more likely you'll be charged for WiFi.

My theory is, often companies have a limit for room prices for their employees, but WiFi fees count additional other expenses so they won't matter for the selection of the hotel.

So as a business traveler you don't care to be charged 20$/day for WiFi, your employer will pay for it. Hotels make nice extra money. Only "normal" guests who care, will be annoyed.

In medium tier Hotels and especially Hostels all around the world I never experienced any WiFi restrictions.
The short, stilting sentences make this article read like a fifth grade book report.
I pay Comcast $78.04/mo (all-in) for “up to 150/10 Mbps”, no data cap, and 100+ channels (inc HBO) of TV. Internet uptime has been 100% since the last major multi-day power outage and speeds measure consistently 100-110/5-6. (Comcast has a monopoly in my town.)

How does that compare to your area? What measure(s) of quality of residential service should I consider?
Good point. Although an OSS maintainer can be strict and refuse contribs on features they don't want to support. And by breaking down Nuclide, some individual packages like the Python debugger etc, probably can be very well defined and have a significant overlap between what they (Facebook) and other companies want, without much room for deviation. As opposed to say the general VCS support (they mostly want Mercurial that Facebook uses internally, whereas most outside users use git).

It still needs your requisite that contribs are of high quality.

China will avoid doing the same with other nationalities. Only canadians will be targeted. And they will not target people with no significance.

They also don't care about other chinese nationals getting harrassed in canada. They want to prevent rich people from taking more money out of the country any way. Problems with canada will get that good side effect. China care very much about Huawei and tech sector overall. They will do anything it takes to help them.

If you are canadian and maybe maybe also american who is somebody (not nobody), you may want to avoid china in your trips now.

Expected something a bit more than a basic MAC change. But I guess simple things work best sometimes - I used to do this on Wi-Fi trains that had a 20MB limit.
Then, it doesn't apply to this case
> Also, I agree that there could be a better solution - always use auto, and use an IDE which shows you the type inline. IntelliJ can do this for Rust. But unfortunately no C++ IDE has code intelligence anywhere near good enough to do this reliably.

I guess it depends on the IDE, here's what the one I use (QtCreator) can do for instance :

Well, possibly, and the dark side moon might be made of green cheese.

"X is … because y might be" is poor rhethoric. "Is" is the indicative mood, "might be" is the conditional mood, so such an argument lets the conditional overwhelm the indicative. That's useful if you wish to mislead or confuse, less useful if you wish to clarify.

Please supply an argument that TDD sometimes/often is overengineering.

In my experience (such as it is) the tests are shaped by the best-understood parts of the business goals. I've seen some ugly overengineering in the past decades, but most of them happened when people went off and implemented parts of the system that were not yet well understood.

> A normal way for governments to raise revenue in the United States is with property taxes. If you build a gigantic new office tower somewhere, then you are going to owe a lot of property taxes to the local government.

> So if you’re smart and have good lobbyists, you’ll say, “Hey, we were thinking of building a huge office tower in your city, but your taxes are so high. Maybe instead of paying the 8 percent property tax rate that’s on the books, we could pay 2 percent instead for the first 20 years.”

> The city may well agree to this proposal because 2 percent of a giant office tower is still a lot more than 8 percent of a parking lot. What’s more, bringing your office tower to town is going to generate a lot of sales tax and income tax revenue while probably helping to bolster property values across the board. So while reporters are going to write, accurately, that your company got millions of dollars in tax breaks in order to build your office tower, the city still ends up with more tax revenue than it would have had if you hadn’t come to town.

> So you can’t really say things like, “Instead of handing out millions in subsidies to Jeff Bezos, we should invest in the subway.” The subway doesn’t need a tax break; the subway needs actual money. And the tax breaks don’t represent money in hand that could be spent.

> What we want is a healthy form of competition where companies try to locate in cities that provide a high quality of public services relative to their tax revenue, so that cities have an incentive to try to govern themselves well. The current dynamic not only allocates too much surplus to rich companies, it undermines that healthy form of competition. Amazon doesn’t need to care whether New York City has cost-effective government or not; it just opts out of paying the costs.

> But the very fact that mayors are inclined to hand out these subsidies should teach them a lesson about tax policy.

(The lesson being that, if giving these tax breaks out is beneficial, maybe you should have been taxing something else in the first place.)

Agreed. TPU will come on premise when Google launches a similar offering to AWS Outposts and ships you an appliance.
In fact, population has historically often grown up around rail and transit lines. It's one argument for light rail vs. buses; people buying and developing along along a line are far less exposed to the transit moving than in the case of a bus.

So, no. It's normally not a great idea to build a bunch of random housing and hope a total transportation mess--which already describes much of the Bay Area--will hopefully be solved someday.
The chart showing the number of employees per state is comically misleading. They have tens of thousands of employees in Cupertino, but make the largest bucket represent "1000+" to make it appear employees are more evenly distributed across the country.

I've read it, read it and re-read it. My conclusion stands.

Abstract your level of analysis up and away from the specific doctrinal belief systems at play here and look to the fundamental operating system of human beings.

It's not that "those people" were corrupt. It's that the operating system has some fundamentally hideous bugs in it that most of the time go unnoticed. Until they don't. Especially when they show up in concert like this.

You might call them zealots and uneducated. The problem is they were simply faithful to a specific doctrine in which they were likely well educated. There are many scenarios in which you can suddenly find yourself on the wrong side of that.

There are a strikingly large number of pretty scary "features" in the operating system of individuals and groups. That things like this happen isn't surprising. Its horrifying, but I can't say it's surprising.

If you break it down to the simplest level there are only three types of action. 1) what you want to do 2) what you are willing to do 3) what you are not willing to not do

Three things basically underpin that. a) beliefs b) incentives c) social pressures

Do the math on it. It's scary to see how easily this kind of thing can happen. When no one has an incentive to stop it and when they have significant disincentives against stopping it, and when they think it is good and they think that's what everyone else thinks.

Take a long hard look at the history of how people have treated other people over time. How many cognitive bias traps we fall into. How unable we are to come to agreement about controversial issues. Being deeply flawed is our M.O. It's why rich stream of messed up shit happens every single day.
How does clarity differ from other tracking or session replay tools like hotjar or fullstory? It looks like it's another Microsoft-ish-ly bad version of other existing things.

I think you missed my point. Pretty sure that John Lennon did not live in fear of being shot in the back his entire life. The fact this happened scared everyone else so bad that they live profoundly different lives full of fear. My point has nothing to do with how rational or irrational that fear is. I'm only pointing its existence, the elephant in the room is our own fear, like a huge Spectre over everything that nobody ever looks at or questions. Fear drives society.

Family, house, kids, those things are fine. I think it's best understood as a rejection of materialism, bigger is better, owning stuff that doesn't make your life better, "keeping up with the Joneses". It's a trap many saw their parents fall into, spending their lives to buy stuff they didn't need.

A big house and big lawn means a lot of your life spent mowing, cleaning, raking, doing repairs. If you've got seven children maybe that's worth it- but for most of us, a big house is a lot of additional overhead for little additional return.

Also as home ownership becomes unobtainable, there will naturally be a reaction of "fine, I didn't want a house anyway"

Last thought, there's a cultural realization that if you have kids and settle down at eighteen, many doors close to you for good. So there's a push to delay settling down at least a few years.
C# will let you do something similar with the using statement.
I've seen this a number of times. People (management and team alike) have said to me things along the lines of: "We don't have documentation, we are agile." Which, of course is not what the agile manifesto says, but is how some people have taken it.

Other sayings are "The spec is in the tickets, there is no user manual."
"We have unit tests." and so on.

All this makes trouble - Especially when you consider in order to change a thing, you should aim to understand it's salient parts in the first place - but perhaps that is not agile or the scrum way according to some.
Contracts can only stipulate things that are legal. If a term is illegal it is considered void. Courts tend to look unfavourably at unfair terms in one-way contracts which the other party had no opportunity to negotiate. I think that it is unlikely that a contract on the back of a ticket can override default legal treatment.

I would definitely hire an appropriate lawyer if I wanted to understand the legality of something like this in a given jurisdiction!
Much of this would be semi-public anyway, they could be analysing HTTPS traffic to find most if not all of these conclusions.

Most of it seems to be domain and user-agent based. I'd suspect you could even guess the device type based on IP with reasonable accuracy. It wouldn't be entirely correct, but with the kind of scale Cloudflare deal with it doesn't have to be to be useful.

The domain (which is public) gives you the info about whether users are browsing or checking out (if a browser hits api.stripe.com, worldpay, PayPal, some checkout API domain for Amazon, etc, then you can infer).
Not a very good example. VIPs don’t increase the cost for other punters.
My question is how did he/she know that it was the MAC address that the WiFi used ?
I bought a water flossing machine. I've been flossing for more than a year, but there were always bits of my gums that stayed kind of sensitive. According to my dentist it was "possible to do it right, but hard", which I took to mean I was bad at flossing. Now I floss in the evening after dinner with regular floss and use the water flosser twice a day. Works like a charm, I would have gotten one ages ago if I knew they existed and worked this well.

WebSatchel – Save a copy of any webpage
Yes, and to some extent it is addressed in the link too (though not really well explained).

Symbols do not clash, but they need to be managed/stored by client code. i.e. you need to keep the original Symbol to use it in different calls, while you can use "different equal strings".

This is the argument in the article. Whether this is indeed more or less desirable than having order restrictions on calls, that's a different thing. I personally think it is indeed a better solution, but the React team seems to think it's not.
Are you talking about LXC or LXD? I don't think LXD existed six years ago.
I think only apple ally is Adobe. If you want to do pro design or video you need adobe. Adobe will never release on Linux so if you dont want to use privacy killing cloud os like windows 10 then you are left with mac.

Hackintosh is way many people are taking for those reasons.
I travel a lot and I don't remember the last time I paid for WiFi anywhere aside from the occasional mandatory "resort fee" that covered a number of things including WiFi. It's true that a number of chains waive WiFi only if you are a member of a rewards program and book through their site but I always do so.
I would be careful doing something that the airline could call "hacking" on a flight!
Couldn’t agree more. I think the biggest problem for more adoption is the lack of blog posts and documentation. I wish somebody would write articles about how to use LXD/LXC in production catered towards developers. Maybe even having a side by side comparison with Docker.

A Statistical View of Deep Learning
My grandfather mentioned having to deal with a coal fire in the bunker at the high school he managed, over the winter break. If it'd been during the school year he could have got 25 teenage boys to do it. But it was just him and the maintenance guy shoveling out 20 tons of coal.

Smoldering coal bunkers had to be a common occurrence on steam ships.

Now what was it you were saying about "stablecoins"...?

There certainly seem to be a lot of charlatans who flippantly throw incoherent terms like that around as if they had any meaning, even though they're utter nonsense, don't you think?

USD 133m Stablecoin Basis is Reportedly Closing Down

The well-known stablecoin project Basis is shutting down operations and returning what is left of the funds they raised to investors, The Block reported citing undisclosed sources with “direct knowledge of the situation.”

The shut-down reportedly follows regulatory problems, although details are sketchy at this point. According to sources, an announcement had to be made by Basis some time Wednesday evening. As of press time Thursday morning, no such announcement has been made.

Basis did not respond to a request for comment.

But a lot of other people commented, for example:

TwitBot @vasilipoupkine1; Replying to @AriannaSimpson:
I’m kinda pissed they are blaming US Govt instead of their frankly utterly nonsensical stable coin design. Algorithmic stable coin is a nonsensical concept. There is no law, though, that somehow prohibits it. Lame.
The Oil Industry’s Covert Campaign to Rewrite American Car Emissions Rules
This is an interesting read, if you have time for a long-ish ome.

"over the years the punditic thrust has shifted away from discussing what has happened, to discussing what may happen. And here the pundits have no benefit of expertise at all. Worse, they may, like the Sunday politicians, attempt to advance one or another agenda by predicting its imminent arrival or demise. This is politicking, not predicting."

I think the last point (politics) is most poignant.

I think a lot of what punditry is, is telling us what stuff means, often symbolically. Is this hurricane the first climate change disaster. Is this shooting a sign the the war on crime is failing. Is this document government document evidence that of middle class decline, working class political awakening. Did Trump win the mid terms.

What politics is, largely, is competing narratives. Punditry (as well as speculation) acts directly on the narrative. In times when political emotions run high, more types of punditry become political punditry.
It is possible the author ran his post through an SEO tool like Yoast. I know we have that on our company blog (I didn't install it), and it is constantly telling me to shorten my sentences for maximum SEO ranking.

>Terror is the currency of today.

It seems that it's a big problem in US. People in US are scared as nowhere else (even in the zones of open warfare). Cops are killing harmless people being afraid of them, celebrities are afraid of their fans, moms are afraid of this strange-looking guy standing near their children, common people are afraid of a foreigner even though the statistical probability of him being a terrorist going to kill you is three times lower than that of a lightning bolt unexpectedly doing the same.

The more secure and wealthy our world become, the more scared people get. It's pretty the same with the economy. Out ancestors had no toilets in their homes and faced starvation, yet nowadays people feel deprived of wealth as never before.

JK Tyre Implements Datonis Mint to Drive Enterprise Digital Transformation
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of LXC and I've collaborated with the LXC folks with upstream kernel work (they're really clever guys).

> The important part is it runs containers in userspace providing a much better security then docker, but seems developers don't care about it.

I'm really not sure what you mean here by "runs containers in userspace". LXC and runc (the runtime underneath Docker) both use the same kernel primitives and generally work in fairly similar ways. LXC has more specific work in order to be able to have more VM-like containers (such as having "console" support and the "fun" that is booting systemd inside containers), but it's fundamentally not different to runc containers. In many cases, kernel work by one of us will benefit the other (right now we're working on several kernel patches in parallel, and each of us is considering how we can integrate the others' work into our projects).

I do think LXC has better protections against certain attacks (and I worked with them on some of those protections) and has a much nicer design in many aspects. So you could argue it has some security upsides over Docker or runc, but that's a different topic to what primitives they use -- they're effectively indistinguishable at that level.

(I'm one of the maintainers of runc.)
