Rocket league is a finished and established product. They also don't seem to have any big plans in the near future. They are totally fine with selling season pass and crats/keys. They don't seem to care about new content in form of gameplay changes, or fixing month old bugs for that matter.

I'd argue that it's the perfect time to 'sell out'. They already won, it is now a good point in time to move on and do something else.
Coreboot is just not that relevant anymore. There is no clear line between hardware and software, so CPUs contain lots of totally closed software and of course totally closed hardware. That means you aren't really gaining much by moving that line 1% closer to total freedom, but it takes lots of effort.
I hope this is sarcasm...?
Do people actually buy laptop/desktop from system76? I tried to price a laptop from them before and it was quite expensive compare to main stream vendors like Dell.

Its cheaper just buy a OEM laptop and slap ubuntu on it.
This is a terrible analogy. Rocket League will still continue to be supported on Steam including new DLC released, just no longer sold to new customers. Nobody is taking anything from you.
I've seen perforce here and there still.
Keep in mind that what you are preemptively celebrating will cause enormous cultural strife worldwide. People and societies are usually not welcoming of extreme cultural assimilation of this kind.

On the internet sometimes people joke about how strongly France is culturally fighting the English language, but if the Anglicisation trend continues many countries could end up facing dangerous backlashes.
Is the anti-China or anti-Russia unwarranted?

Dell fucked up and should be held accountable. Being in America they will more than likely face legal action of some sort over this. I would hope so anyway.

I made a pivot table implementation in IE6 that used XSLT transforms.

It was actually blazing quick, far, far faster than the JS implementation I tried (like instant vs 20 seconds). While XSLT was hard to develop in and perhaps deserves to die its death, it really was a quite amazing bit of tech.

Raytheon CWMI | USA (multiple locations) | Full Time | On Site

I'm an engineer with Raytheon's Cyber Warfare Mission Innovations (CWMI) and wanted to reach out to the hackernews community and let you guys know what we're looking for. All comments here are mine and mine alone and not endorsed by Raytheon proper. Any questions leave them here (preferably so others can benefit) or PM me. I'll answer them if I can.

For more information feel free to message me at needsmoarcyber@gmail.com
or visit https://www.raytheon.com/cyber .

We're looking for people who want to break things and have fun doing it. We're looking for developers, hackers, researchers, and engineers with an interest in information security and low level development. We take our work and our fun seriously. We refuse any work that isn’t hard and engaging. We make sure our engineers have the tools they need to do their jobs, and focus on recognizing results.

Key areas of focus include:

• Reverse Enginering
• Vulnerability Research
• Wireless and Network Communications
• Hypervisors
• Malware
• Mobile/Embedded Development
• Win32/Linux Kernel development
• Constraint Solving
• Exploit mitigation techniques

Basically, if it’s in the cyber (yes we said it) realm, we’re doing something cool with it.

Familiarity with at least one common low-level architecture (x86, ARM, etc) is important, as is the ability to conduct vulnerability research against applications compiled for that architecture. Experience with software protection and binary armoring is a plus, and familiarity with modern exploit mitigation techniques and counter-measures is a must.

Aside from reverse engineers and researchers, we are also looking for developers with an interest in low level systems development. If you're comfortable living in the kernel, developing emulators, or similar kinds of work, we'd love to hear from you! C and C++ skills are definitely a plus.

US Citizenship & the ability to obtain a Top Secret clearance is required. If you're already cleared, even better!

Our headquarters is in Indialantic, FL with offices in Annapolis Junction, MD; Ballston, VA; Dulles, VA; San Antonio TX; Austin, TX; Augusta, GA; Huntsville, AL; and Greenville, SC. Relocation assistance is available.
Sometimes the material is absolutely unhelpful when doing a badly designed test, and you may even fail them. I had a Calculus teacher that taught 100% from the books but his tests were always 5 special case questions, that you might very well get wrong in under 45' even if you know the bread and butter.

Still learning how to do "Professor X's questions" was a guaranteed ace. Forget the subject, memorize the borderline cases, max grade. Do all exercises on the text book, also, get a second text book and do all of those too, and you might fail the test.
If I were corporate IT, I would insist on rolling my own disk image starting from a "gold master" direct from Microsoft.
Method famously split from the status quo for a while, years ago, and produced non-recyclable containers for some of their products. Their position was that if recycling only nets you 30% of the inputs back, you are better off using virgin materials to make a container that takes 30% of the material of the recyclable version, because you reduce the footprint of shipping, and the pollution of recycling.

I believe Danon yogurt made a similar decision when they went to thinner plastic on their single serving cups.

I think Method has since figured out a recyclable solution so their refill bags are recyclable but still made of next to nothing.
yep, I remember this at least as far back as 2003.
Also check out this neat illustrated "timeline" of "-punks". https://imgur.com/gallery/WkIU2

Only the end I would change. First I would put Cyberpunk into the 1990-2000 years. And then I would add another category for all movies that have this "bright", "plastic" and "clean" look like GATTACA, 2001, Minority Report or Oblivion. And then add another category for all the rough and dirty movies like District nine or Edge of tomorrow that seem to be fashionable now. But I don't have good names for these yet. What do you think?
I remember that day this banner showed up. My team at the company I was working for at that time was trying to do bleeding edge web development and we desperately tried to convince management to drop IE6 support too. This helped a lot. It’s amazing to read this story and I only can say thank you OldYoutubers!
How much more red tape if any do you have to cut through to infuse new tech in a government setting over say a similarly sized private company (measuring size by headcount)?

> All of this is brought about by the individual mandate

Some of us are old enough to remember dealing with healthcare before Obamacare, and can testify to this having been the status quo long before there was an individual mandate.
Every couple years someone would predict software developers (where CS majors were heading) would be out of job for various reasons. Spreadsheets would let business people to do analysis. Report writers let people to generate reports. Visual programming let people drag and drop to build software. VBA will take care of all business needs. Rule engines will generate programs en-mass. Code gen from UML/State-Diagram would make developers obsolete. The latest is the claim that AI will generate software and replace developers. These people are clueless about the nature of programming, software abstraction, and the trends to automate all aspects of life. Software and developers are more likely to put people from other fields out of job than the other way around.

It's more likely the teaching aspect of the college professor will be replaced by AI/machine in the near future.

GOG said the same thing about their launcher (it's been years and never happened). Valve has completely revolutionized linux gaming support and now Epic is buying up existing titles and making them exclusive on their windows-only store.
That's right they are inconsistent with the combination of
1.) dark matter is the correct theory and
2.) they have the usual amount of dark matter for a galaxy of that size.

Surprisingly this is does not make the theory of dark matter (#1) less likely, but actually makes it more likely. Because the alternative is #1b "gravity works differently than we think". But that would have to hold for all galaxies.

The City of Los Angeles has never organized an Olympics. A private group, located in the city of Los Angeles, organized an Olympics in cooperation with various cities in Los Angeles County, including the city of Los Angeles.

The private group acquired the right to put on this event in part by pledging that profits from the event would go toward funding youth sports, which was one of the options provided by the event licensor (the IOC).

The private group earned $250 million in profits on the event, after paying for expenses like the costs of police and fire personnel working the Games. That profit was then used toward its contractually-obligated purpose of funding youth sports.

Sure, and what did they spend it on? Was it worth the displacement? Did they build more public housing? Of course not.

No people were displaced by the LA Olympics, because no housing was torn down to construct Olympic facilities, because only 1 or 2 facilities were built for the 32 and 84 Olympics.

No public housing was built, because the Olympics were put on by a private organization. However, important to note: private housing was used for the Olympics. Specifically, USC's then-new student housing was used to house athletes before students moved in. The construction of student housing freed up hundreds of houses around the campus for occupation by lower-income residents.

LA could also house the homeless—that would be something to actually celebrate.

LA could house the homeless. The problem is that a lot of them don't want to be housed because it means giving up alcohol or drugs, or taking their medication, so thousands of shelter beds go unused every night.

I actually enjoy having choices. That's part of why systemd's feature creep to swallow everything bothers me. It represents choice being taken away from the administrator of the system.
I wish Supercritical Water Oxidation had worked out.

But it requires ceramics that are resistant to heat, pressure, and chemical erosion, which turns out to be the usual 'pick two' situation.

I had heard someone was working on composite ceramics to deal with this (heat and pressure resistant bulk, enameled with heat and chemical resistant coatings) but have heard nothing since.

So far they only seem to be price competitive in hazardous waste situations.
The car also stops at signals and stop signs, and yields for traffic before turning. Did you watch the autonomy day presentations and demonstration drives?

I hope the servers keep running for the next few days, I won't get a chance to pull the updates until the weekend :/

On another note, not sure why some people are complaining about the price. I own a Cozmo and Vector, both seemed fairly priced to me.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Open source https://github.com/privacybydesign | The Netherlands | Remote (EU) or on-site

We're looking for a part-time/freelance mobile developer with an affinity for security and privacy to work on our mobile app and associated software.

- We're primarily looking for someone strong on the frontend who can implement smooth interactions, and make a complex topic intuitively understandable in an interface.

- You'll be working on top of a cryptographic protocol and client that tries to preserve the privacy of the user in everyday tasks.

- We're keeping an eye on Flutter as a technology that offers performance and a well-rounded set of official components for mobile. Be sure to respond if you feel confident in this area.

- All our code is open source. That also means the code you write is yours to take anywhere.

- We pay a decent rate (or salary), but it will probably not be the top amount.

That is a more charitable explanation than the one from NASA's independent review team. They categorized the problem as a design flaw since SpaceX didn't take into account the part manufacturer's recommended safety margin and other limitations

You get charged per item, so it's higher quality than AYCE buffet. There's tons of variety, and you get to see your food before you purchase it. The closest thing I've seen in the US might be Bakeman's restaurant in Seattle, but it was sandwich-focused. The combination of hearty food with a plethora of options and minimal service is not something I've seen in the US. Some college cafeterias or museum dining areas are similar, but usually with less variety.
Yes. System76 is definitely expensive, but their customer service is the best I've seen for any product period. They have a super snappy site with real people you can talk to in Denver and ask off the wall questions about the hardware and OS. To some, having that kind of support is worth a markup rather than trolling through Ubuntu forums and asking StackExchange answers. My last few Linux machines were all repurposed Windows computers though. It's also nice to help support Linux on desktop this way.
It's definitely a rant, but most of it (that I've read at least) is well-reasoned and not at all ad hominem in nature (aside perhaps from an irrational hatred of Red Hat in general).

His own lawyer admits[0] that Assange was informed that Swedish authority were seeking Assange for interrogation, although the lawyer apparently suffers from a certain amount of selective amnesia (as many lawyers do).

It's incredibly clear what the accusations are even if you don't speak Swedish as they're spelled out in the European Arrest Warrant[1]:

> On 17 August 2010, in the home of the injured party [SW] in Enkoping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep. was in a helpless state.

> It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange. who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used. still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured party's sexual integrity.

> For instance, in healthy human women, the menstruation cycle seems to be the exact length of the moon's orbit.

That seems to be absolute coincidence. If there was a value in syncing to the lunar cycle it would stand to reason there would be a synchronization with the characteristics of the lunar cycle - ie ovulation on the 14th day or something. As it is, there is no link between when a woman's cycle and the lunar cycle begin, they just happen to occur with the same (ugh) period. I don't know what tidal forces women could be keying into that would result in totally seperate start and end dates.

It's also important to note the 28 days falls on the average, but the range is anywhere from 21 to 35 days for normal women. It's in no way the exact length of the moon's orbit.

I watched that talk a while ago. It convinced of one thing you should only have one URL parser in a project, and don't pass a url to any thing that may parse it differently.

It also made it clear that trying to use a URL to restrict stuff is a bad idea. Like the dell updater could only load signed requests which means an attacker would have to get dell's private key for signing.
It doesn't seem though, from the story, that the 'OldTubers' group was exposed. It seems like the 'why' was more important than the 'how'

I guess I don't know a lot about how the Supreme court works, but is this normal? I know that the president is the one who appoints the justices, but it's not like Donald Trump is a lawyer, or a programmer; he's ostensibly an economics major and outside of some demagogical diatribe in one of his speeches where he probably claims that all of this is simple, he's not qualified to say whether the Supreme court would hear this.

Mainly my comprehension has improved. I haven't been doing much speaking practice because the method is so heavily focused on input. I'm not as worried about being understood, as I've never had much trouble being understood when saying the limited things I know how to say. My problem has always been that the response is incomprehensible to me.
I was responding to @lostlogin’s response to you.
