Not necessarily. It wouldn't need to be a total unified process where you can't start before everybody agrees on every detail and it has been translated to a million local dialects.

If you get Germany and France to work together, you're half way there, just like with Airbus/EADS. Nobody needs or wants to wait around for Luxembourg or Ireland, and we really only need the heavy weights - they're the ones paying for it anyhow.
I'd be really happy if this leads to app developers making apps that can work without Google Play Services.
This is actually an interview question I use: "How many hours of productive work can you do in a day?"

If they say 8 hours (full work day), they're either lying or using some kind of performance enhancing drug.

I've been paid for software development for close to 20 years and I've never done anything productive before lunch. Mornings are for documentation, code reviews, emails, stuff that doesn't really need constant focus. Afternoon and early evening are when I get shit done, that's when I can get into the Zone.
I was replying to the specific claim that getting a degree requires a lot of money.

I reject the notion that copyright is necessary, what's necessary is my personal ability to use my devices without random companies being able to use the state to punish me for using an abstract concept that may or may not resemble one that they at some point also used. If you would like to make money from your art there are options such as commisions, but the onus is on you to find a business model that works, it is not for the government to be creating artificial monopolies to facilitate a business model that is incompatible with reality.

> they set up a series of meetings

In my experience those meetings have the goal of explaining you how to use the product. If the issue really is that something doesn't work, it's not something sales people can do anything about.
This is really the prime zone for a therapist.

Every successful tech executive I've met and gotten to know well has told me they see a therapist at least occasionally.

Your brain is your money maker. If you were totally dependent on your car for your living you wouldn't hesitate to take it to a mechanic, would you?
After running the experiment (openjdk 8, linux) with some variations, I'm convinced it's a JIT optimisation and not a CPU predictive branch feature, eg. increaseing the threshold from 128 to post-16 bit, eg 100000:
if (data[c] >= 128)
I have never seen this work out as intended - at best it results in developers having to code up things in a limited way through a leaky abstraction. I've never seen users be actually able to use such systems.

The best that can be said is that it sometimes gives the ability to do some customization or extension without having to do a full deployment, but it also locks you into an ever-expanding surface area of code that needs to be supported and increases the chances of bugs from unforeseen interactions.
First, I don't want to read to much into the OP regarding betting. Because there is something to it. Without risks no rewards. Yet what constitutes a risk and a reward differ significantly based on your resources.

That being said, risking some of your resources, money, time, whatever, to get out of poverty is reasonable. Betting on a start-up might not be. Simply because if it goes wrong instead of rewards there might be debt and even worse poverty.
Correct, in the US there is implicit copyright by default if you include a copyright mark and date and formal copyright through registration. Implicit US copyright doesn't offer much protection, just an ability to tell people to stop using your works. Formal US copyright gives you rapid retort and default judement compensation that's just insane (something like up to $150,000 per infringement).
You don't have to be a US citizen to register for a US copyright.
Not an argument at all, but a discussion of taste?

I think it’s quite clear. As a gardener, who values close contact and interaction with plants, he doesn’t see the point of plants that are permanently behind glass.
I agree in the main . Specially about breaking up hard problems often being a retrospective advantage. I think simplifying a problem by removing details, solving that and then wondering about the differences is pretty effective. Helps you understand what you’re confused about.
Not to mention Bullrun and the Dual_EC_DRBG affair.

I assume that all US-designed technology is backdoored and I think I have good reason to make that assumption.
The article is about WhatsApp, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, etc. group chats. What you said is inapplicable to all of those.
Gmail is going through our emails too deeply no?
Alright so over the weekend I figured it was a good idea to reach out to a personal counselor to discuss a few things and while thinking and writing out an email, to my suprise gmail just added the following 'see an individual therapist.' after I started typing 'se...'. Now call me crazy but this level of parsing through my previous emails, seeing the email address this individual is sending from and triangulating on some very specific personal items is disconcerning to say the least. Not only is my mail being totally scoured for any help typing but I'm sure these algorithms are being used or will be used to help others, not us who use the service.

Anyone changed over to a pay service? How does it work for you?
This is reminiscent of Connor Krukosky, who had the IBM z890 in xyr parents' basement.
Easier, sure. Not having a backstop means failure == death. Which isn't for the faint of heart, but that's the story of almost every Americans lineage at some point in the past. It takes a bit of luck, but rarely is it more luck than nose to the grindstone effort.

My anecdotes:

I have one great-great-grandfather who thought he had an office job in British Columbia, but by the time he sailed from England and crossed the continent the company had folded. But his family was already on their way, so he started working every mining job he could, and invested every spare pence he had into real estate. His sons did the same.

My paternal great-grandfather came over from Italy, got harassed out of NYC by the Irish, bought a small farm in Oklahoma, and his children did the same.
Work on self-compassion.

If you have self-compassion, you will be kind towards yourself and keep working towards your goals.

Eventually—you will develop self-esteem.

Working on self-esteem now won't help you because esteem is achieved with results—which are a product of work over time. And importantly—the results you aspire to are always a moving target because that means you are growing.

Wishing you loads of luck here!

No it's not, but let's not fall into the trap of not being able to criticize anything unless we're saints.
Pretty much every enterprise vendor has an OpenJDK build. I work for Pivotal. We've been building and shipping the OpenJDK from source for years (mostly Java buildpack, but we use it for anything that we ship that requires a JVM). Like our peers at other enterprise software vendors we spent a lot of engineering making the process smooth and traceable.

I think more of the industry will move towards AdoptOpenJDK builds. There's a lot of value in combining forces to produce the same byte-identical binaries for everyone.
Yes I have. My conclusion to the thought experiment is that it is irrelevant. History shows that in the face of one monster you can’t control, the only solution is to build your own. De-weaponise the only opponent it has always ends with the monster destroying everything you endear.
Imagine a politician / military telling you "trust us, we know what is good for you"

You really like that idea ?
Ignoring the technical difficulties of such a project: I don't trust the EU anymore than i trust the US or China.
Not sure I follow. You say they have been trademarked. The reference from the article that mentions trademark:

"As a staunch proponent of open data and open access to cultural heritage, I am disappointed to learn that the contributions made in good faith to promote the free and open proliferation knowledge have been commercialized. I am shocked that a project developed largely with taxpayer funding has been trademarked by a private company registered to Bernie Frischer himself."

It seems to me the word trademark actually refers to some kind of copyright? I agree that taxpayer's money should contribute to something that can be reused by others, and/or owned by public institutions. In this case it seems unclear what has happened. Is the data available so anyone can create the same kind of "product" or is the data copyrighted?
> Why would you halve the budget of a team that's yielding a more than 400% ROI (in terms of cost savings)?

Because that goes against the official doctrine that the state is wasteful? Why do it inhouse when it could be outsourced to someone for twice the price that will return the money in kickbacks as campaign contributions?
Most people, even poor people, have parents who would help them out in case of need. They seem to be discussing a pretty low bar here.

And of course it is a "privilege" to have supporting parents. So what? If you don't have that privilege, what are you supposed to do? Kill yourself?

I think such privilege discussions are rather silly. What's the point? That people should be showered with tax payer money to even out their privileges? Or people with bad parents should be given state assistance (substitute parents)?
That does seem to be the message from centuries of history.
Microsoft makes excellent Bluetooth keyboards and mice. Sennheiser does OK with headphones, with their newest models being markedly better than ones even to years ago. There are also a few, rare, small companies that do a pretty good job: TechNet and AfterShokz come to mind.
He's saying more something along the lines of "women can be elite performers too" (and that being genetically/on average less strong shouldn't stop them from trying) - which isn't entirely wrong, especially since we're already talking about like 0.01% of the population (successful entrepreneurs / elite sports(wo)men).
Which is a problem in itself: It is getting difficult to appreciate just how rich or poor you are!

- The income gap is growing, creating many more levels of wealth, each considerably richer/poorer than the next.

- A lot of wealth is kinda in the background, like the real estate someone's parents might have that isn't discussed, but will probably be inherited someday?

- Products and services cater to the different wealth tiers and create separation and filter bubbles.

This results in very weathy people innocently betraying their ignorance in various public statements, like

From 20 years experience, mostly nodding along except that engineers are easier to manage remotely than sales. Depends on who is doing the managing, not inherent in the job
People are easily manipulated. You only need the right incentives and tricks.

As long as they are convinced or can be convinced that only bad people will be prosecuted (they are good people after all, right?) many people will welcome this.

Reminder: Why do you need privacy if you have nothing to hide?
We have a couple of those bluetooth speakers (UE Booms) and I've never had a problem with them either!

Mind you - I never 'unpair' a device - I just set the BT device to be in pairing mode (or whatever it is called) and then connect from my phone/tablet and that removes the previous connection. Having to do this on both devices and that the step necessary to initiate pairing is device specific is the only issue I have with BT - but it's a relatively minor one.
I totally agree. Drivers should be easy to write, spec should be slim and modular. It does not stick with the idea of lightweight communication stack.
>> I've noticed React is often conflated with the wider ecosystem it is a part of (Webpack, Redux, Babel) - perhaps this is the complexity you are referring to, but to be clear React can be used without any of these things.

I disagree with this. Everyone claims that you can use React without JSX but no one does it. Aside from ugliness, the main reason why no ones does this is because you would be missing the most useful aspect of React which is compatibility and consistency with the rest of the React ecosystem. So you cannot separate React from its ecosystem. All this complexity has become tightly intertwined.

If you use VueJS without a bundler (which is actually feasible), you will be surprised how much simpler and elegant the whole development experience is. Once HTTP servers start supporting static push of scripts, we will not even need bundling in production.
I would disagree with this just from the fact that writing data durable code as well as all of the other core ACID things are too error prone. In my perspective I never felt that it was really there to to faster but was more there to solve the other problems. If it was truly faster people would have stopped using things like ISAM, but they do not since the characteristics are better. There will be overhead and quirks with SQL but an equivalent more direct system would have different quirks perhaps in a different area.

That seems overly dramatic. Not everybody who loses their job dies. Most people seem to not die in that situation, actually.

Failing at your startup would at most be equal to losing your job. You won't die just because of that.

Even if you end up in debt, there are insolvency laws. You can just go flipping burgers for a couple of years and be good.
It looks like these are applied to waterways that are largely free of faeces, such as storm drains.

A net applied to pipes intended to transport faeces would presumably need holes so big it couldn't catch condoms, sanitary products or wet wipes.

It makes it easier to launch a startup if you've got a strong safety net, but not impossible.

I think the article misses the point, though. Look at Bill Gates-- he had rich parents, and so he started Microsoft. Which has gone on to make millionaires of lots of ordinary folks and continues to provide good jobs to many, many people today. It's a good system, it benefits a lot of people.
So finance is all of a sudden not relevant for a business anymore? Interesting take. I stated it already elsewhere, but maybe a finance focused interim CEO was exactly what was needed. Also, maybe the co-founder didn't feel like the right fit for CEO at that point in time? Just being a founder doesn't qualify automatically as CEO, examples include Uber and Google.
This is interesting to me because amazon has a ton of anti-consumer practices right now- most importantly the large amount of incorrectly labeled knock off goods. But by doing this on the odd occasion he virtue signals that he is taking time from his day to solve the common man’s problem, evidently fostering a culture of leader worship.

I live in a very clean city and we don't need social credit systems to handle litter.

The jump so many people take to encourage strong enforcement for bagatelles is astonishing.

Greece also has a lot of bribes but if you would know anything about the culture, you probably wouldn't conclude that you have to liberate the country. Well, I at least hope so...

You can use the stick of course, but loosing that, all benefits it brought you would be lost too. And you would have stripped any opportunities to develop any understanding.
Universities were very proud of their computers indeed. At my university too, there was a room with a big window to allow visitors to see the blinking lights on our Connection Machine (CM2)
I could get on board with this if the devs had a say in setting those benchmarks.
Sure, PG is obviously only driven by his desire to exploit poor people by telling them lies about startups. How could it be any other way. He is rich, so that's what he does, right? Exploiting poor people, that's what rich people do to fill their days.

Start looking at the people you speak with and listen to what they have to say.

This may sound silly, but you’re likely not doing it right now because you focus too much on what you think they think about you.

You need to switch that external focus into an internal one, where your thoughts are your own and not filled with trying to read minds. Because I’m guessing that you can’t read minds.

So look at people and judge them, with practice you’ll eventually start to forget worrying about what they may be thinking. Hell, you might even notice that you rarely judge people negatively, and if you don’t judge them negatively, then why would they do it to you?

Another good trick is to join a group that does public speaking followed by sessions where you review each other. By doing that you’ll learn that no one is as critical of you as you fear.

But you should see a therapist, it can take years to overcome social anxiety.
something that literally no one but corporations are interested.

I'm interested, assuming a reasonable price and performance level. Not having to have gaming PC plus being able to easily play a bunch of new games for a few hours without shelling out $60+ each are both things that sound interesting to me.

Then again I think the last physical game I bought was Europa Universalis III a decade ago, so physical copies haven't really mattered to me for a long time.

A story where a billionaire downplays the problems created by wealth inequality. How novel.
Lawful intercept isn't itself a backdoor, but it did provide one that was exposed via Snowden. In this case I'll call a spade a spade: many lawful intercept tools were used as backdoors, or overreach of legal authority. Again, keep in mind the context of my original comment: the years 2010-2011 which was pre-Snowden. The FBI may have stepped in with a heavy hand for many reasons but those reasons may have included inclusion of another large ISP in programs like PRISM.
It's romanticized because the majority of Americans had someone in their family throw caution to the wind and get on a boat and cross the Atlantic with zero knowledge of what was going to happen.
The Securitate (The secret service of Romania) would be another equally terrifying example.
The smaller businesses can file with a flat-rate VAT (not itemized) which often means 5-10% tax benefit.

The UK also has universal free healthcare for residents, so no need for private insurance when you leave an employer and set-up on your own.
The cycle time of all the instructions involved is specified in the architecture reference manual. The issue here is that the Intel decoder will fuse "dec %[counter]; jnz cyclemeasure2" into a single instruction. So the Intel loop is doing one cycle per count and the ARM one is two cycles per count.
At least they are biased. You should refer to the CDC - oh wait... doh!

Quite disappointing that German anti-Americanism goes as far as siding with China. And quite ironic that the author plays the Trump card, who has gained a lot of his notoriety by having ties to another authoritarian regime.
You're wise not to trust anyone in those spheres.

Still I'd feel more comfortable with three or more powers arguing over one thing than just two. It's more balanced.

Afaik you can specify custom headers in Cloudflare - same as CDN/Cache support and you can definitely use custom branches for release and dev in gitlab - all you have to do is specify them in config.yaml ...

I have been running a bunch of generated static pages via GH (and now GitLab) and never seen any disadvantage, but don't take me wrong - I am always learning :)
> Just because something is (or seems) effortless to others, doesn't mean it will be the same for me.

I think it's also important to remember it is rarely effortless to others. You just don't see the effort. I was fortunate enough to hang out with some people in college who were valedictorians at their high schools, and would generally be considered smart. They ended up graduating college with 4.0s. Since I hung out with them all the time, I got to see just how much they worked at it. They took amazing notes, and studied all the time. We didn't have a name for it then, but they essentially did the Pomodoro technique to pull all nighters studying for big exams.

Seeing them definitely helped me realize that getting through hard problems is work, and requires time. Thinking time, studying time, and practicing time. Do some things come easier to some people? Sure, but almost everyone has to put in the work at some point.

As an aside, not understanding how much work goes into something is common in sports. People see Michael Jordan hit the final shot or Tiger Woods hit an amazing shot out of a bunker, but do not realize they have probably practiced that shot hundreds if not thousands of times.

Where’s your citation on P30 sales figures? If apple doesn’t sell as many iPhone X’s as P30s in China does that make Apple not a premium manufacturer if most of their sales are lower end?

In 2018, they shipped 16 million P20s in 9 months. And they shipped 100,000 in a single day which could translate to 3 million units a month or 27 million in 9 months, but even if they ship 20 million in 9 months which is 25% more than the P20 you can’t wave you hands and act like no one is buying these phones.

1. Those have all started as individual one-on-one chats. So, their roots show

2. There are many more “group chats” for the midern era. Ignoring them isn’t wise.

3. Even among those listed you have channel discovery, for example, in Facebook Messenger.

And no, a discussion on modern chats does not end with “IRC was better end of story”. It wasn’t.
