I would say a lot of it comes from it being a completely different platform. Most likely there will have a line of cars with similar names kind of like BMW's i series that will encompass all the electric vehicles made on the platform.
Which just goes to show how insanely difficult it is to find good pinky swear talent. It's like the voice-over of Silicon Valley.

And this is why you buy the .com domain for your company, instead of some weird one like .info, .io, or .pizza: most people assume that's where they'll find your company. If someone's squatting it, you can buy it from them, or just come up with a new nonsense word for your company.

Maybe developers are getting used to the `getQwerpy.io` convention, but I don't see it catching on more broadly.
I don't care what you do in your own groups. If you show me pictures of dead people I'm almost certainly banning you from showing up in my feed. And if my feed keeps showing me dead people or other crimes then I would just leave facebook.
As far as I know, most U.S. states (34 of them) reject the tender years presumption in the first place. Furthermore, there are different approaches to feminism; liberal feminism propounds formal equality, which is generally rejected by other approaches which favor more radical solutions. The issue becomes vanishingly small when it turns out that most men opt for joint custody when it comes to the choice, and this is only of the very small number of custody trials in court - the vast majority are settled out of court.

And it's a mistake to characterize opposition as only being legal; if I said I was against murder, would you only believe me if I prosecuted a murderer, or campaigned for the death penalty?

What if feminists had other (bigger) issues to fight in the name of gender equality, which would be better for them to direct money? What if they don't believe that "standing up for equality" in the way you think makes much sense compared to writing and educating in society? We can already see this at work in other areas of feminism; a great number of feminists believe that pornography is harmful, but few seek legal means against it.
This piece of code has been run for thousands of years and I see no reason why it shouldn't work now:

Re: I'd much rather just have an explicit import providing code reuse.

I tend to agree. We need something closer to set theory to manage variations-on-a-theme rather than hierarchies: a buffet where one can pick and choose the parts as needed, and referencing groups of parts using group names to save time and provide abstraction/factoring. It's why I mentioned we need to get some inspiration from relational, which is heavily influenced by set theory.
I reallllly wanted to do this in the beginning because it's so simple. However I think I came to the conclusion that forcing people to go in and out of their mail client every time they wanted to login was too much of a barrier, however I'd be easily convinced if people thought it was a better and more viable way to handle login.
Has Fastmail ever been blocked?

I've used a paid email provider since before Gmail existed. They've not been blocked.

I know there are the occasional posts on HN about Gmail blocking their servers, but I doubt it's anywhere close to the norm.
I think they might need to accelerate their efforts, I think a lot of people here look at them in a very negative light.
Could be that he's calling out the company he has in-depth knowledge about before those others specifically because he understands it the best.

Also, it's more impactful for someone to say "the thing I've created has become a monster" than "the thing that's in direct financial competition with the thing I created is a monster" because it doesn't feel like misdirection. It feels more honest.
I disagree. Freedom of association is an important right. Generally companies (and individuals!) should be free to choose who they do business with. We should only limit that freedom when there's some significant social harm. (E.g., we don't let businesses discriminate by race.)

I also think it's ridiculous to suggest that we should drastically increase the number of laws so that everything bad is explicitly illegal. Drugs are a great example. Can they cause a lot of harm? Sure. But the war on drugs has caused immense harm as well. Decriminalization and regulation are the right approach. But if that happens it still doesn't mean that PayPal (or anybody) should be required to participate in the drug business.
Sadly, not.
No doubt which is why being a developer isn't considered a very respectable position in the UK and the pay matches that sentiment. The Guardian is also one of the leaders of anti-tech commentary.
All of facebook's utility comes from its exceptionally strong network.
it should probably be called "package-manager-less" because there's no package manager in the final build, but there's also no ls, etc, so distroless kinda makes sense. Maybe systemless?
Lots of people do explicitly want to live in dense cities. And it's very freeing not having to own, maintain, and pay for a car. That's a huge benefit of living in a dense enough city that has had viable mass transit.
Postgres has been working on Windows forever, I used it from 2007 or so.

Because, like spam email, it only has to work for a tiny fraction of a percentage of targets to be profitable, and enforcement is rare.

Except it's more annoying than spam email because it actively interrupts people.

And since origins are spoofed, I usually can't determine if it's a robocall unless I answer. Especially if you are expecting unknown number calls (selling something, etc.)
You are probably assuming I'm in the USA. I'm in Central Europe and this data is produced by local university (that has many great hospitals attached to it), open. I have friends who work on the project, they will start releasing data next year. They're working on the project for past 5 years.
Aren't all macroeconomic short plays, by design, about timing?

In other words, they all fail unless you can accurately predict when a drop will occur. Consequently you'd expect that even perfect short plays often fail.
I find that in a lot of critiques of programming methods, the proposed solutions often contain the implicit assumption that the 'code' is a small to medium codebase with a single developer.

If a sole developer is the only one working on it, of course any approach can contain the complexity.

But, if in the language you are using, the alternative to inheritance is composition via code duplication, then I think that's even worse than inheritance, especially once the code is unleashed on a whole team of maintenance developers.

Who says all that duplicated code will be left in its pristine state, and used only for it's intended 'compositional' purpose? People might start hanging special logic in there or whatever...

Generally, for projects with large teams like this, the less code the better, because that means there's less code for them to screw up.¹

If that means using inheritance for reuse a bit even if it's not 'pure' OO or whatever, I'd chose that over duplicating code all over the place.

1: I know Java isn't fashionable, but for many reasons, it's perfect for this kind of project.

Imagine you replaced "software" with "civil" and everything you said remains true. I can design bridges in my home but I can't sell my services legally. Will someone buy one of my bridge designs and impelement it, especially in another country? Possibly! But that doesn't make me a civil engineer, and no engineering firm would hire me. Also, it is probably cheaper and easier for people in other countries to hire a local engineer than to use my services anyway.

Your base assumption that other countries than <your country> would not have regulation might be true at first, but probably not for long, and something is better than nothing.

I agree that people cannot be banned from writing software outright, but I think it is reasonable that in many situations it is reasonable that a company or agency is held to a standard that they only deploy software that has been produced through some set of engineering practices, similar to GAAP.

This is exactly why archive.org was created. They actually referenced Orwell's 1984 changing history theme when they created it.

Note that archive.org is run on donation, and people often overlooked it's importance and need for funds.
That's really sad - he will be sorely missed by the Erlang and Elixir community, and probably the entire programming community as a whole.
Banks only do this because the Bank Secrecy Act/USA PATRIOT Act makes it exceedingly risky for them not to. In addition to the bank's regulatory risk there's also potential personal liability for the individual serving as Anti-Money Laundering Officer. That strongly incentivizes an AML program that's overly cautious.

It might seem like the bank is "judge, jury, and executioner" but that's really not the case. In addition to freezing your funds the bank has to alert the federal government of the account. The government then decides whether to move forward and try to seize the funds or whether the bank can release them to the account owner.
Let’s get this shut down.
Legal marijuana shops are still mostly cash only specifically because they can’t bank, due to weed being federally illegal. Bank monitoring is in place to battle illegal activity, fraud and laundering. If you are doing something reprehensible, a payment company can be seen as endorsing that behavior by your association with that bank. I mean, you have a spam network here that was proudly displaying PayPal’s logo on it.

I agree that it’s not right for payment processors or banks (PayPal is, unofficially, kind of both) to pass judgement on what their users spend money on... but I also agree that it is not out of line for a payments company to stop offering their services to businesses designed to spam, defraud, mislead or abuse people. Gambling websites are also known to trigger these detections when you try and deposit on to shady accounts.
I don't tweak anything after installing Debian/RHEL at work or at home. They're stable and flexible. IMO, the folks who spend hours customizing their desktops are usually the ones who don't know linux well and want to feel like they do.
I have a t-mobile line and a Google voice number, I don't give out the T-Mobile number so 100% of legitimate calls come through Google Voice, but 100% of spam calls come through T-Mobile. Also I'm not sure when you're saying they added this magical filtering but I've tested spoofing calls to myself and other T-Mobile phones within the last few months and it works fine.
Thank you for the succinct description of '“science fandom” rather than scientific thinking'. This perfectly expresses my trouble with most scientific discourse nowadays. Many people brandishing "science" as a tool to win arguments instead of thinking scientifically, and often can't explain the scientific method.

That, and the constant appeal to authority (fallacy) of "scientists say..." are my biggest pet peeves.

This problem isn't easily solved, unfortunately, because scientific thinking is difficult and not for everyone. If anything this amplifies the responsibilities placed on scientists to communicate their findings and caveats as clearly as possible to the public.
Chromebooks use Coreboot firmware with a specialized payload called Depthcharge. This bootloader is customized for ChromiumOS and doesn't boot Linux/Windows.

To install Linux/Windows on a Chromebook, you have to flash this firmware, usually replacing it with Coreboot with the Tianocore payload, which is a bootloader capable of booting other OS's. (MrChromeBox supplies this custom firmware for lots of devices)
MSFT employee here.

My workstation that I use almost exclusively is Mint. I am one of those people who are, to put it politely, not keen on Google's ad and data sponge tentacles in every last item on the planet, and so I use Firefox as my primary browser.

O365 has yet to show me many problems with the O365 suite. The only problem I do have is a complete and utter lack of desktop notifications. I'm late to meetings a lot. For someone who values punctuality, it's a major flaw in my view.

We also use Teams a lot, and there the Firefox + Linux story is significantly worse. You lose all teleconference capabilities - and that's true for Chrome or Chromium as well. The chat functionality is acceptable and weirdly, the notifications on Teams work without any problems. Someone on that team needs to show the O365 team how to do it.

I have a VM for when I absolutely have to do something in Windows. For everything else, there's ~~mastercard~~ linux.

Interactive Hand Pose Estimation Using a Stretch-Sensing Soft Glove
Naive question here, as many in this discussion are way more experienced with the inner workings of languages:

It seems like doing away with GC is somewhat akin to the Halting Problem, in that it's impossible in the general case but may be practical in the common case. Obviously there are languages without GC, but they often end up reimplementing the patterns of GC for particular problems, so I really mean doing away with GC-like patterns and concerns (memory management).

With the Halting Problem, the specific feature that triggers it is unbounded loops. The solution is that most languages have two classes of loops. Ones that are bounded and ones that aren't. We still need unbounded loops for a language to be Turing-Complete, but frown upon their use unless it's absolutely necessary.

To the question: it seems to me that the equivalent feature that triggers the need for GC is passing/scoping items by reference rather than value, because it violates the simpler memory lifetime model of local variables in the stack frame. Could it be that the solution would be a language that makes it easier to explicitly reason about, detect, and limit objects that are passed around by reference?

I'm thinking the initial reaction will be no way, it's way too convenient to pass by reference, all languages pass larger objects by reference to avoid unnecessary copies, etc., but am wondering if it's the next "GOTO considered harmful".

Perhaps there's a way to rethink the way program flow and object persistence interact. Not in the general case, but as a way to make it more explicit which things might leak, in the way that most languages now allow you to mentally discount "foreach" loops as not subject to the halting problem and only worry about the rare "while" or recursive call.

This may be just me groping back to the idea of functional purity, as pure functions don't mutate external state, but perhaps there are other, less restrictive ideas that would also help, such as a notion of larger flow control regions that guarantee they won't return to some distant part of the program and thus will not reference an object used there again.

Overall, I'm just thinking there are no silver bullets, but that perhaps the cases where the problems occur can be corralled into a corner, as probably the majority of a lot of programs have no issues with memory management and would benefit from making that explicit, so it's easier to focus on the bits that do.

Edit: I'm guessing a lot of what I'm groping towards is exactly what Rust and its kin deal with, but should probably learn one of those kinds of languages before I armchair about this stuff.. :)
You may be right. I'd like to receive more opinions like yours concerning how to define it better. It's absolutely not "just an editor" as per its comments and likes features. I'm also developing right now a Follow/Unfollow and a TimeLine mode, in which you will be able to follow users with impressive work on the platform, and you'll have access to a separate Shader Gallery composed by all the shaders published by the users you follow (sort by creation date-time). So yes, it counts with some social network features. But maybe it is in fact an overstatement to classify it as a social network. I'm totally open to suggestions from the community, and I thank you for questioning it. I really appreciate all the criticism and feedback.
That, in turn, requires licensure to be a condition of employment, which is tricky because a) an engineer needs to be employed for a minimum period of time before they can get licensed in the first place and b) the industrial exemption means that most engineers don't actually need a license, and indeed most don't have one (at least in the US).

So what should we use? Stripe?
One of the things about Chromebooks that make them different is no BIOS altogether, right?
Of course you gain something. By encapsulating all methods that operate on X and Y in a single place, Point (where X and Y are defined), it is now _much_ easier to change X and Y. It's all right there in one file.

Point {x, y} may not be the best example, but you can certainly see how this can be beneficial should X or Y become something even slightly more complex. And this is the purpose of encapsulation - to make a system easier to understand and therefore easier to change.

It's also not not China as in Republic of China as in Taiwan. This is worse than Schrödinger's cat.
Yes - for security reasons. Chrome OS has a full verified boot chain, starting from the BIOS, like a smartphone.

You cannot tamper with Chrome OS or access user data without password even with physical access to the device.

None of this works with a 3rd party OS, so you have to disable the secured boot and possible re-flash a different BIOS (similar to unprotecting the bootloader on a phone).
This way ZOL also works on windows. Might make me switch to windows where i occasionally play windows only games.
> A bank would absolutely be expected to freeze an account if it suspected illegal activity as part of its AML obligations - filing a SAR would come later.

And this would take months, and the bank wouldn't be able to respond to inquiries?

> Neither should accounts like this necessarily be taken at face value - trying to apply social pressure through forums and social media is standard social engineering.

Certainly. I tend to lean towards believing them because I've witnessed a similar case with PayPal that nearly ruined the company of a friend. It got resolved after all, but it took around eight months, lawyers and our local equivalent of a DA to get involved before PP realized they might not want to pursue it any further and released the assets. That doesn't mean that everyone of these stories is accurate, of course, but it indicates to me that not all is well in the PP HQ.

So, how come speculating on some shares and futures for your interpretation could become investment BTW? Am intrigued with your query! In fact, there are many dynamics and statics of investment, tangible and intangible etc etc... Ain't main point is return? Correct me if it is worth your highly valued time.
They do have a (customized) UEFI BIOS based on CoreBoot.

From the article:
"The ID.3 will be the first car built on the Volkswagen Group’s “modular electric toolkit” or “MEB” — a technological platform for EVs that includes the battery pack and motor."

That, and this not the only planned vehicle based on this platform, so "eGolf" would be a bit restrictive.

In the past I would have aggreed. Nowadays where gaming monitors have freesync/or some nvidia sync mechanism(TM) refresh rates go up to 120hz or even 144hz. So the timespan is even lower to update everything.
>What I want, is to give a merchant a credit card number, pre load that number with $30, have them charge it, and then be completely done with it. This especially makes sense for low stakes low cost recurring monthly payments. I should just be able to stop paying a $5/month fax service that I never use, and have them terminate my service. Banks would never let you do that. Services that used to let you do that have been mostly shut down.

Privacy.com offers this service, but you have to pay from your bank account.

A more positive perspective, they want to learn what they can do. I remember trying every distribution, DE, and window manager when I started with Linux. These days I stick with stock GNOME on Fedora.
I agree with you. IBM is late to the show and far behind in terms of Data Scientists using their tools and technologies. I myself ( statistician and data scientist) used IBM products for a short period of time in the context of a PoC. my experience is that, using python/R is much better in the long run than using proprietary software that costs 100k $/year in licencee fees, without forgetting the training /setup cost that comes with any migration to IBM suite.

How to Choose the Best Static Site Generator in 2019
Would they need to have done a poor job with the black text? For example, let's say in the sentence: First, ______________ Next, this happened.

If you know where the comma ends and the next sentence begins, you still know the exact number of pixels in between. Let's then assume that there are no proper nouns in the missing text. There probably aren't very many combinations of letters that fit the space perfectly while still making for valid words, given different letters have different pixel widths.

But the idea wouldn't even be to come up with the CORRECT answer. It would be to assign a score to different options of what it could possibly say.

I agree you couldn't do paragraphs.
