It also includes ad network ads on non google properties (double click and such), which is arguably more diverse than iPhone an iPad.

Google's last quarterly report says 24bn in revenue from Google properties, and ~5bn from non-google properties. If we add in that YT is a separate property too, we get ~60% from Google, ~12% from youtube, ~15% from network, ~14% from hardware/android/cloud.

(I work at Google, but I am using public figures from the Q3 investor relations document and your analyst number for YT revenue).

some "pirates" have an ethical base.

1] dont claim it as yours, someone else made it make that obvious.

2] dont sell it ! nuff said!

3} if its valuable to you find it and buy it at some time.

4] recommend a legal source along with any links you provide.

5] dont distribute cammed resources, give box office its rightful opportunity to make money, wait until the disk version is being sold, bare minimum.
Is this legal in the US? "That “E” in the “5G” logo is supposed to tip you off that this isn’t real 5G — just some marketing nonsense."
Absolutely. One bit of advice might be to seek out a web agency (company that builds sites/webapps for all kinds of regional businesses). Depending on your city, demand is huge for web devs, particularly those proficient with JavaScript.

Right, so I guess I'm not understanding your point about why comparing two languages like this is ridiculous. Java has a full blown runtime reflection system (it's "types exist at runtime"). JS doesn't. So Java wins in the reflection category.
I agree that Sears' management has been terrible, but also think that Sears' customers stopped being able to pay the premium for their American made Craftsman tools and knowledgeable employees.

Trader Joes are usually located in areas that have higher income and more young people. They do offer good customer service, but I also don't think Trader Joes could cater to as many people as Sears', and Sears stores and inventory seem much more costly to operate.
Also, they let users review the products. Not very long ago, it was a novel idea to let customers tell other customers via the store's own website that this or that product is no good.
These kinds of responses are unhelpful. Yes, data protection is incredibly important. That doesn't mean that GDPR as written is a well-done regulation - in point of fact its insanely complicated and its pretty much impossible to know whether or not you comply, even if you store zero data about users. It also doesn't mean that people who don't want to deal with GDPR don't care about privacy. Tarring and feathering someone for such things is lazy and unfair.
True, I think like most market incumbents, Amazon has become lazier lately. The vacuum-obsession problem, the proliferation of counterfeit goods, and subpar third party sellers are all more recent problems.

But if you just bought 1984 for example, there's a good chance you'd also want to buy WE, Brave New World, Erewhon, etc. The algorithm made sense for the book store, but it makes less sense for the "Everything Store".

> The big issue is for universities is how they would handle marriage.

I don't see why this is an issue at all. If the college claims that "finding the high-income person you will marry" is one of the reasons to attend that college, then they should please return to the 1950s (or earlier!). If they DON'T, then the repayment should be based on the individual's income, regardless of their spouse's income.

Does this mean that a college risks getting paid very little by a graduate who ends up becoming a stay-at-home spouse? Sure, but that's part of the risk. A 4-year college wishing to introduce such a program can always take a less-than-complete approach and still charge some minimal tuition up front (presumably in exchange for a smaller slice of "lifetime" earnings).
I tend not to worry about programming automation, because I believe it has actually been going on for a long time with higher level languages. E.g. when programming was done at assembly level, the advent of C did not reduce the number of jobs, rather it made programming more powerful and created more jobs. Same with Java and 'automated' memory management. Same with Ruby on Rails, php, etc. By simplifying developers jobs, developers can create bigger and better products, which increases adoption of technology, which creates demand for even better products, which leads to more jobs and more automation. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see any end to this cycle anytime soon.
Windows 10 Is Only Making Windows Fragmentation Worse
Re: I think that UI toolkit should use native widgets and near zero cost FFI.

If the target audience is cross-platform, that's hard to pull off. Each OS's native GUI engine is too different. Emulating a common target behavior is usually better (until a good general GUI standard comes along). Maybe your particular need is not cross-platform, but Lazarus's goal is.

However the header states "This project is co-funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union", so maybe they had to pass some review.

What all these checklists lack is some real advice for software architects/developers, something along the lines of "I'm a Java developer, should I do something different now?" Reading the real GDPR [1] is more useful and not more complex than any technical document we are used to study. It contains several hints here and there both in Recitals and in Articles (Recitals are the claims between "Whereas" and the Articles.)

For example Recital 29, which is more cryptic than most of the others, hints about a best practice of separating personal data from all the other ones and from the information required for reconciliation. Maybe different databases on different machines. This is not the naive soup of fields in a users table. Thinking about a classical MVC web app, it could be that the code in the controllers should have zero knowledge about personal data, with the exception of the part of the application that for example deals with user profiles. That could be a separate application with its own database and admins.

Building a Subway in One of the World's Most Crowded Cities
There was a significant gap between Amazon launch and having two-day shipping — it took years of behind the scenes development before orders started arriving notably faster than other retails. Sears' numbers include regular postal delivery in both directions so switching to online ordering would have cut them in half with no other changes (and don't forget the efficiency wins from orders arriving as validated electronic data rather than handwritten order forms).

The reason why Amazon was successful early on was selection and pricing. They had _everything_ rather than the generally limited selection most people had from local stores and the pricing, especially for things like technical books or genre publications, was often very favorable. Yes, some people lived in major cities with awesome bookstores but for most of us in suburbia the selection was what the local supermarket / drugstore carried or a non-trivial drive.
Not quite - that is run before your prompt is displayed.

I do Delphi a lot of years (still remain as moderator in http://www.clubdelphi.com) and can say that is easy to just. Is much easier than use obj-c and the idioms around the language make things simply. Is the only language I have tried with manual memory management that I found simply to follow

Why do you interpret the interest in VR as an expectation that VR will become a universal recreational technology (in est, a replacement for playing video games on a TV)?

Why not, instead, interpret the interest as being in a future where VR is a universal productivity technology?

Any place where "training" or "simulation" matters, VR will be better than what it replaces.

Verticals that have immediate use for VR for training: military, police, fire and rescue; medicine; sports. (With enhanced haptics support and careful use of physics engines, you could also include some of the skilled trades, like machining/woodworking or automotive repair.)

Professions that have immediate use for VR for simulation: therapists; travel agencies; interior designers; architects and structural/civic engineers; criminologists, accident reconstructionists, and insurance adjusters.

And that's just off the top of my head, as someone who doesn't really pay attention to the field.

Certainly, VR is isolating. But so is sitting at your desk, in a cubicle, in an office, staring at a screen. If you're already being paid to suffer 0.9 units of isolation (cubicle+desk+screen), I'm not sure the company moving to 1.0 units of isolation (cubicle+desk+VR goggles) is going to make people upset. Either way, you still go back to 0.0 units of isolation when you get up and go to the water cooler.

(Admittedly, though, a VR-centric office productivity paradigm would make pair programming harder. Unless, I guess, people were pairing in some Second-Life-alike virtual office—which would actually be quite good for remote-first companies.)

I see no evidence for any of the points you are trying to make either.

You seem to equate revenue with success, which is not how this stuff works. Shareholder value is actually tied to the prospects for long term success (accumulated profits over time). MS shares were considered overvalued, not undervalued when Ballmer left (or depending on your interpretation, fired by an unhappy board).

Its OSS contributions are critical to both MS and how well it is able to convince developers to build on top of MS platforms. It's critical for it's credibility with Azure. I know people that now consider this a serious alternative to AWS or Google cloud that for sure don't have any interest on running C# on Windows Server while using SQL server. But it sure is a nice way to run some Linux stuff these days.

Satya Nadella also had to absorb a lot of the Ballmer era mistakes. Like paying five billion for the right to shut down an organization (Nokia's Phone business) for probably billions more. As I recall, that was one quarter where MS indeed made a historically unique loss and Ballmer pushed that deal through. Bing indeed is another dud. Windows Phone itself of course was the latest in a series of failures for MS to capture the mobile market that date back to last century.

The fact that it took a few years to recover after Ballmer left strongly suggests that 1) there were indeed problems in MS (i.e. shareholders were right) 2) Nadella addressed those problems. MS is of course valued around a 1 Trillion or so now. This may have a thing or two to do with the fact that he's not doing that bad of a job and that their future looks a lot brighter than a few years ago.
Great idea, not sure how they implement this though. They can just email it to you because GDPR does not specify the delivery means.

It’s not at all simple for ad supported publishers who are the most prominent

It maybe a case where this is the intended consequence of the law but it wasn’t sold that way ahead of time.

European publications are being even more impacted by this as they can’t resort to blocking. It will be very interesting how this impacts the publishers in the next few years.
I'm surprised by this. I guess i'm just used to having an attic or false ceiling. In both cases you just drill a hole in the top of the wall attach a cable to a cable snake and push it down the hole 6 feet, punch a hole where you want the jack and fish the snake out. Bonus if you squirt some foam into the top hole when your done to keep the air/critters out of the wall. Wiring most rooms/etc is a breeze if you don't get to picky about where the jacks are.

These days with the prevalence of wifi that's not even necessary. Very often in a house a couple ceiling mount AP's, a drop to an entertainment center and into the study is about all I was motivated to do in my most recent house.

The cable/telcom providers though are the worse. The standard operation seems to be running a cable around the outside of a house and just punching right through the wall.
Nothing fancy, and I sent it to the contact point they have in their privacy policy. You can find it on their websites (or at least I found it; in my case it was just an email but it will possibly escalate to snail mail). As far as contents goes - here it is, translated into English:

I am a/an [OPERATOR] subscriber, identification data: (...)

I would like to get a complete list of personal data that [OPERATOR] stores about me:

- The history of telephone calls, metadata (when and where [to which number] I called or when and who [what number] called me) as well as the data itself (the content of the calls themselves);
- The history of text messages, as in the case of calls - metadata and the data itself;
- History of data transfer (Internet), as above - metadata and the data exchanged itself;
- Connection history - when my phone was connected to the [OPERATOR]'s network, when in [OPERATOR'S COUNTRY] or when via roaming;
- Location history - where my phone was located, e.g. which base stations it was connected to or from which country it was connecting or any other information allowing to determine my location more accurately than "Planet Earth";
- History of used devices - IMEI numbers as well as other data collected about my device / devices;
- Any additional information collected about me.

If any of the above mentioned types of data is not stored by [OPERATOR] please let me know.

> Congratulations, silicon valley, you've just re-invented public education!

There is a key difference. With public education, the excess cost of the education is born equally by ALL taxpayers. With education that is funded by a percentage of future income rather than a fixed up-front cost, that is born only by the graduates. It means that those not fortunate enough to attend college (or not interested) are not expected to subsidize the students, and it also means that students can choose from a range of different qualities (and costs) of school.

Also the original article spoke at length about aligning the incentives of the school and the student. If you believe (I do not) that the only or most important role of a school is to prepare the student for a more lucrative job, then this alignment of incentives is a significant value of its own.
Maybe not intentionally but problem is that often such data can be partially or fully de-anonymized using various statistical analysis techniques.
Yeah, it would. And it'd be a great case for a non-profit centered around issues like that. It's just honestly difficult to justify spending tens of thousands of dollars of your own money on that lawsuit without getting some kind of angle out of it.

Back in the days existed a Delphi-like environment under a scripting version of Delphi, with a very close match of the IDE (it borrow all the controls of Delphi). it also have a VB dialect!

I think will be smart to build a Delphi/FreePascal renderer with an API to make easy to embed into other languages (like with TCL).

I sketch some of the idea in https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/9bapwt/thoughts_on_wh...

Delphi/FreePascal integrate very well with C APIs so I think the glue could be easy.
A soccer ball can reach 80mph (130km/h). Even with just 1 lb (~450g), that can make damages to your face - in fact, soccer is a common cause of serious sports eye injury.

Interesting. What is the range of this device? If its effective range is anything above half a meter then it would raise serious privacy concerns.

It is definitely an interesting device but any additional sensory data at the hands of Google makes me tiny bit more nervous.

No, it's not. Do you truly think that there would be no self-proclaimed "meat purists"? Many would still enjoy real meat and would be prepared to pay a premium for it. Heck, even now, there are people who pay attention to the grade of their meat.

Way back in the early 80's when I was in high school I had an off campus class where I took a course on PDP-11 assembly language. Sadly we had to run our code in a PDP-11 emulator on a DEC System 10 and it was incredibly slow but I do remember how much I liked the PDP-11 instruction set. I wish I had kept the book from the class.
My significant other just got a job as a captain at a major airline. At 30 he was one of the youngest people hired in his cohort. In aviation experienced captains with lots of fly time and safe and timely arrivals are seen as assets.

It's quite a contrast to what we hear about in tech.
I also see the same shift. There's too much garbage to sift through and too high of a chance of getting something counterfeit.

Whoever thought the operational cost reductions of "commingling" was worth the loss of trust in the Amazon.com was wrong in my opinion. I think people with disposable income would rather pay a little extra to guarantee they get a legitimate product, and it's not hard to google the model number or product name and select from Target or Lowes or Best Buy.

I don't have that power, and even if I did, I wouldn't ban advertising. That's not what I'm suggesting at all. I'm saying I'm growing skeptical that the content advertising finances is actually valuable to the consumer, and am starting to think it may actually be harmful.

A lot of media is designed to be addictive, hooking the consumer in order to create a captive audience for ad delivery. I'm no longer sure the ads themselves, or even the tracking they often entail, are the worst thing about the whole system. That's why I'm not too bothered about giving people the tools to not see or hear ads if they so choose.
