It's really a rather typical characteristic of the abusive tech industry ... "the laws simply don't apply to us, none of them, one way or any other way, we just get to do what we want" they cry as they gut the whole economy under PR of being glorious "disruptors" that are "changing" things as they consolidate and centralize power and wealth in ever tinier, riskier power centers.

I hope you have the correct thoughts to have a gig job in the future, when there are 5 monopolistic cartel corporations that control everything from you ability to work for them, to housing and feeding your family.

There's a difference between a tag, which is a bit of concrete syntax like "<b>" or "</html>", and an element, which is basically a node in the DOM.
Firefox has a tracker blocking mode that shows you all of the trackers. I counted 25 different tracker services being blocked on a single news article yesterday.
Before you spend time profiling a performance issue, make sure you're using the production build of React. The development build is significantly slower. It sounds obvious, but I've made the mistake of trying to optimize performance issues that simply didn't exist in production.
Don't Intel and AMD have a fairly comprehensive patent cross-licensing agreement?

Not sure if SMT parents would fall under that, but it was my impression that AMD was relatively unconstrained wrt Intel patents due to this agreement.
An individual does not have the choice of communicating via Facebook or shutting it down, only between communicating with someone on Facebook and not communicating with them on a platform they don't use.
Those figures (which include benefits) are like, what a junior software engineer costs in the bay area. They don't seem outrageous to me.

Ha, not quite. My main computer at home is actually an almost-10 year old Macbook Air -- and I'll run that thing until I have to bury it. (I don't do much serious work at home these days.) I've flirted with upgrading, but the only reason is it won't run current Docker and that will eventually bug me enough to pull the trigger, but not this week!

Work is a totally different story, but not bought by me, and also spec'd to utility, not extravagance.
Because it would reduce profits and therefore executive bonuses.
> I went a little overboard and created a C backend for the emulator along with an in-browser JS client that was pretty much a full-blown machine language IDE and debugger.

Haha, this made me smile. I can totally relate to that ambitious line of thinking: given a task to solve, you imagined the logical next steps, to build an environment for solving that general class of tasks.

Great lesson about feature creep, but I also think that kind of vision and ambitious problem-solving can be valuable in the long term, if it works the whole community/ecosystem can benefit.
Misleading headline. He filed a copyright claim for $35. No one investigated and the government certainly didn't say he was Satoshi. If he were, it's easy to prove by moving coins.
Right I eventually found that out (and temporarily fixed it by making a symlink manually). My question about fixing it right is (1) How? and (2) How am I expected to know this? Because: I'm using an out-of-the-box CLion with it's out-of-the-box CMake, and I thought this is exactly the sort of SNAFU that CMake is supposed to handle? Does the fault lie with JetBrains, Kitware, Apple?
It would have been useful in some monitoring efforts I was part of back then.
Definitely illegal, not just technical.
From the report:

For a +2 °C temperature scenario consistent with the Paris Agreement, we obtain a median estimate of a 26 cm SLR contribution by 2100, with a 95th percentile value of 81 cm. For a +5 °C temperature scenario more consistent with unchecked emissions growth, the corresponding values are 51 and 178 cm, respectively. Inclusion of thermal expansion and glacier contributions results in a global total SLR estimate that exceeds 2 m at the 95th percentile.
I already feel like I spend too much with Apple. If they bought Netflix, I'd probably stop watching TV.
Because when you flaunt that you can afford something objectively expensive, it's called bragging.

It fits the definition of the word, so it's taken as such. Not sure what's confusing you.

I would too, but I would never support that as an official policy option, due to the extortion angle.

That's a good point, but it's not implied by "JavaScript is functional and oh boy!" at all.
The U.S. federal gov’t, via HIPAA, took a stance on what health providers could do with patient data, rather than settling for a stance of “just find the nearest hospital with your preferred terms and conditions” or “keep in mind you don’t need to see a doctor”

As those below mentioned, you have to use TEV here. Based on TSLA Q2 2013 vs. Q1 2019 financials, you end up with a TEV in 2013 of $28.2B vs. today of $44.3B.

The 2013 calc is:

$240/sh * 118mm shares = $28.4B market cap, less $746mm cash, plus $576mm debt = $28.2B TEV

The 2019 calc is:

$204/share * 173mm shares = $35.3B market cap, less $2.2B cash, plus $11.2B debt = $44.3B TEV

For those mentioning subtracting the debt, that's incorrect. A company is capitalized with equity and debt. To buy the whole company, you have to buy both. But when you buy the equity, you get the cash, so you subtract that out, since buying cash isn't relevant. You then have to add the debt, because you have to pay off all the debt to own the company outright.
There is a term in Chinese that means "lose face". I remember my parents saying it to me when I misbehaved. I made them lose face to their friends. Save face emerged as a way to avoid losing face: https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/lose-face.html
At least Tesla has demonstrated that their data collection is for training their full self-driving capability. That represents tremendous end-user value, in my opinion.

Musk has claimed that. Whether it's doing any good remains to be seen. Large amounts of data from normal driving are probably good for training lane keeping, but not that useful for handling emergency situations. Teslas are still running into crossing semitrailers after three years of "data collection".

Teslas upload about a gigabyte a month.[1] Here's some trip logging data, from 2017.[2] Trips are logged in straightforward XML. Other stuff, not clear.

I think those are minor, yes. None of that is actually hacking. That kind of assistance is available to anyone with access to a search engine. Live Linux distros are freely available to anyone, they don't have to be "supplied". Assange failed to crack the password so that was just an embarrassing attempt at providing assistance.

Knowingly providing assistance to a crime is illegal, I'm not arguing that it's not. Just that in these kinds of cases it should be protected. Assisting someone in photocopying classified documents is illegal too, but should also be protected.

If Assange had ssh'd into a server and started running exploits I'd say he certainly crossed the line from journalist to hacker. His assistance may have pushed the boundaries of what is journalistic but I'd still err on the side of protecting him rather than risk diminishing the First Amendment.

At the end of the day, it was Manning that did the hacking and copying of data. Without her actions, there would have been no crime at all.

China has been a threat to US interests in the Pacific for decades. Now China is the regional hegemonic power which dwarfs the weak US Pacific partnership. China's international influence will continue to grow and they will likely achieve their 100 year plan. That's not really fearmongering, China has plenty of problems but they will eventually succeed.
What did you achieve ? Where are you now in your professional life compared to your early colleges ?
$100k/year rents you one hell of a nice apartment, though, right? It must be competitive with whatever you can get in a LCOL area.

150k/500k were numbers I pulled out of the air for "well compensated engineers" in L/HCOL. I absolutely agree that people who are not well compensated are fucked. But the thing I've never understood is people who could make 500k by moving to the Bay Area arguing that they're better off staying in a LCOL for purely financial reasons.

Now, note that I currently do not live in the Bay Area and have consistently refused to move there for employment reasons, because there are other things to value besides money. But I've definitely seen the argument made on a purely financial basis, and I think it is misguided.
I suspect if it weren't for the TSLA speculators the company would've run out of money already, so they may be the reason it's still around.

Whatever the case, TSLA stock defies all reason and epitomizes "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."
I'm really not sure what an "app that matters" is. Spotify uses electron, if that matters.
the whole thing you linked reads like he is going through some existential crisis triggered by spending too much time in his own head, or he is struggling to find himself. he calls others stupid but that might just be due to feeling misunderstood and a symptom of his alienation.

Yeah, have a Subaru and find the safety / autonomy tech really good. The indicator is particularly useful at night when looking into the blind-spot isn't always reliable because car headlights can sometimes be hidden from view.
English should adopt the French convention of capitalizing the family (last) name. For example, this would make it ABE Shinzo, which would remove ambiguity. When encountering East (thanks for the reminder) Asian (or Hungarian, for that matter) names in emails for example, I'm usually worried about if their "last" name in the directory is their given name and what they should be addressed by or their actual last name.
Some things that Wolfram Language does that maxima doesn't: machine learning, image processing, audio processing, time series analysis, user interface construction, build-in data, geo computation, natural language processing....

Maxima is just a computer algebra system- one small part of what Wolfram does.

I think that the ideas of Personally identifying information and Personally generated information need to be clearer. Information that exists because I pass through the digital world is still about me.

Then we can envisage some changes in the law - the presumption in law should be that data about or generated by me should be owned by me - in the same way copyright is presumed to belong to me.

If we then add in a public commons right to access such data royalty free (ie health researchers get a free pass at my data presuming they follow normal protocols) and chuck in any commercial or other licence I might grant is time limited an automatically runs out after a year and needs to
be renewed with my consent, and I think we can sort this data privacy problem out.

(in short - I agree )
Make our backdoors great again...

For the eager downvoters out there, consider that (to my knowledge) no actual case for Huawei backdoors was made so far (although we can all be pretty sure they exist). At the same time Cisco routers giving root access with a specific private key is considered a simple "could happen to anyone" bug. So yes, it's what I said above: someone will have backdoors in the infrastructure. From US perspective it better be the home team.

The Celtic feasts that the Roman banquets displaced were just the same as what's described in the title: A Calculated Display Of Debauchery And Power. Putting on feasts have always been a way for the wealthy to display their wealth and power, to curry favor with their underlings and to give others the opportunity to do so with them. They are also a way for a community to bond together over food, whether hierarchical or communal.

Even industry and consulting groups in the 21st century use the same nonverbal and architectural language to express the same things in the same ways as was done in ancient times.

I was mystified the first time I read about "byte order mark" and I'm still confused. I mean, I know that if you want to waste space on 16-bit characters, it might make some very small amount of sense to have a byte-order mark, but for crying out loud, just standardize that order and live with it. We don't need more parts of text file that are interpretable, and cause both usability problems and security problems.
G Suite is a lot more than just Google Sheets. And while it's not advertising, I think you are right and I was a bit hasty to declare it as outside their core business.

They do not have 74 million paying customers. However, I agree that the "free" version is safe for as long as the enterprise offering continues to do well (5 million PAYING users as of Feb 2019: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/g-suite/5-million-and...).
That is a fascinating idea, and I think it would work for anything except a primary residence. (How can you tax "I'm 83 and will only leave in a coffin?")

For everything else, particularly investment or rental properties, it seems like a perfect setup. Like bringing the dynamics of the stock market to the property market.

For primary residences, maybe it could be a "half-tax" setup (with actual exemptions for people who would be devastated by moving). So you would actually claim twice the taxable value, and if some developer came along and actually offered the 2x, you would be delighted to take it.
What else are they going to do with their cash horde except make big acquisitions?
Strategically, I think this could make sense in the long term, even if it loses for a very long time, just for the battery research team and the foothold into the electric car business.

They already turned down VW.
He's definitely angry, but from skimming it, it sounds like he had some ideas, put them out there, and no one bit.

And he's uspet that it didn't pan out, and he's quite clear on a fairly reasonable, if hyperbolic, explanation of why the ideas didn't work.

I read it as him coming to grips with the common blind spot of "my ideology would work just fine except for all the people who don't hold my ideology". You hear it from proponents of all major ideologies; liberalism "they're on the wrong side of history", conservatism "what happened to common sense?!" and libertarianism "but in a libertarian society..."

His stuff is ranty and tone-deaf, and he probably shouldn't include it on a page on set theory, but he's not delusional.
I have used Google as my programming language (Go) and a de-facto-standard library (Guava). Of course, in both cases they're open source. And I've found and fixed bugs when I couldn't get Google to do all of it themselves. And if Google ceased to exist both of these could continue with minimal interruption.

Samsung’s Founding Family Faces a $7B Estate Tax
The Voynich manuscript has been pretty reliably dated to the early 15th century by both carbon dating and by comparison of the materials, techniques, and style used in the manuscript—tens of thousands of years, at least, after a proto-human language would have been spoken. Language change happens pervasively, even in isolated speaker communities, so even if there had been some isolated enclave that cut off all contact when proto-human was still being spoken, it's vanishingly unlikely that they would have continued speaking perfectly preserved proto-human tens of thousands of years later: their enclave's language would almost certainly have gradually changed into a modern descendant, and the lack of contact with other languages would have made it appear to be a language isolate (i.e. a language with no observably related languages, such as Basque, Ainu, or Haida). That's not unlikely: in fact, if the proto-world hypothesis is correct, then that's how all language isolates did in fact form! But we have no evidence at all to suggest that a speaker community either would or could speak an unmodified form of a language for tens of thousands of years.

The Sentinelese language hasn't been studied at all—it's hypothesized that it's related to the nearby Ongan languages (spoken in the same island chain as Sentinel Island) but when Onge speakers have attempted to communicate with the Sentinelese, they haven't been able to understand what's being said. (Which doesn't disprove the hypothesis: English and German spring from a common ancestor, but if an English speaker heard German for the first time, they too would have no idea what was being said!) But as I said above: just because a group is isolated, that doesn't mean that their language isn't changing just as much as others—it might just be changing in different directions!
> You can read what Palm, and Blackberry have said during the iPhone revolution era. And we all know how that turns out.

The majority of comments made pooh-poohing the iPhone were made at public events, and intended to assuage the customers, carriers and partners present that those events. It's not reflective of what they actually believed.

In books like "Losing the Signal" (about Blackberry), journalists followed up with Blackberry execs and discovered that BB considered the iPhone a gamechanger, even if they doubted that the AT&T 3G network could handle millions of data-hungry iPhones. And in the early days, that was true. The first 3 generations of iPhones had significant complaints about dropped calls.

Hi all! Author here; happy to answer any questions about the OpenTelemetry merger.
Nobody's saying they were unusable. But like--I do video production and was pricing out my first live video mixer around that time. I was ready to throw down for a Bulldozer build immediately because of how wide the processor was and had to do the proverbial "hard pull up away from the mountainside" because of how bad the throughput was.

Instead, ended up going i7-875K -> i5-3570K -> Ryzen 1600 -> Ryzen 3700X (probably, this year). So like, I'm glad to see AMD back in the game, but Bulldozer was pretty rough.

Exactly. Formula 1 are masters of marketing, but the actual races are spectacularly boring. The novelty of seeing fast cars doing cool circuits at 300km/h wears off eventually, and then what's left is an uncompetitive entertainment product which isn't half as interesting in reality as you expect.
I’m confused by what claim you’re trying to make here. Are you suggesting that low income people are going to move into rich neighborhoods to be closer to work if we eliminate public transit? Public transit enables higher density, which increases the visibility of low income folk by pushing rich and poor people closer together. It has the exact opposite effect you are suggesting.

Sure but I ran an out-of-the-box CLion with out-of-the-box CMake, compiled a popular open source project that in theory is cross platform compatible with Mac, and it fails in a C standard library header deep inside Apple's headers after a chain of "#include_next" because it didn't find "/usr/include". Is this a fault of mine, Jetbrains, Kitware, or Apple?
