Barely—it doesn't address any fundamental issues with bash, it's basically a coat of paint.

It does make sense that tech companies are only into disruption if they can profit from it.
Sometimes, but even simple trees are high variance given that they're estimated using greedy algorithms rather than some more global optimization. Overfitting in RF does not occur as a function of the number of trees.
Not sure I agree with the hire a younger dev and start persuading option. In my managerial experience, it's almost impossible to change someone's core personality or their value system, either through words or through money. And even a temporary change takes monumental effort on my part. Better to find someone who's natural mode of operation fits this type of role.

I feel like the personal value system and personality are what drive long term performance. You can explain and cajole all you want, but inevitably a few months later the core personality starts coming back through. Establishing a culture around certain things will go a long way toward making those behaviors expected, but finding a person who has the appropriate temperament and skill level for a the types of activity needed for a role is so incredibly easier than doing everything the hard way.

Maybe I've been spoiled... I have a few engineers in other roles who do naturally get things done and don't need constant hand-holding to get through anything boring, but so far the programmers mostly just want to work on whatever they think is cool and turn into procrastination machines if I push too hard or give them an uncool task. I do have one older guy who I can leave to his own devices and the result will mostly make sense and happen without lots of my time pushing to finish. The other engineering roles with 'finishers' are mostly young guys, though, so I'm still hopeful any age could be this type.

Precisely. There was very little incentive for websites to adopt it at the time; Apple has a lot more power.
You're right, I misread that part.
Sometimes it's ambiguous, where you don't know if the exit lane is a new lane or your lane.

Do you guys ever hire remote?
It is a viable method, you just won't get many customers. For a smaller userbase, it is entirely feasible and profitable to do stuff like this based on subscriptions. Ad revenue can be higher, but is volatile and harder to implement. Personally, I feel like this is delving too close to other SVOD services. While a potential four figure CPM is alluring, I don't think we'll truly begin to see it.
More cautious drivers are going to be more intimidated about this than most people, so they're more likely to move move over a lane so that they don't have to deal with it. They also, of course, tend to be slower drivers.

I have no qualms with accommodating merging traffic, a "zipper merge" is easy to accommodate when everyone leaves sufficient space between cars.... but drivers tend to bunch up on the on-ramp and you'll get a pack of 3 - 5 cars with < 1 car length of distance between them and then they try to merge as one unit, so invariably one or more cars either on the ramp or on the freeway end up stomping on the brakes which makes everyone behind them do the same.

So for this reason, I avoid the far-right lane when there are 3+ travel lanes.
As explained in the answer to a sibling post, the question of if he is "locked" in the embassy or not seems mostly a philosophical one. Just imagine I used a different word if you do not like it.

The point I tired to make when I wrote this was that in some cases the Swedish prosecutor authority felt it was too inconvenient to even file European Arrest Warrants in the first place, and a prosecutor saying that this was only done in stuff like murder cases. Then in another case they are keeping a guy in house arrest for 7 years. I made this comment in reply to a request for how Assange was being treated differently compared to other people.

The second point about criminal investigations in absentia mostly seems like a "fun fact", and I dont really see anything I can reply to. Sorry if I'm missing something here.

Regarding the third point, yes, that was my whole point that Assange has shown that he seems to have genuine fear of being the victim of some form of human rights violations should he be extradited to the US. Since if he had no such fears, he could go to Sweden, and even if he loses the case he would be out walking in maybe as little as 8 months. Now he has spent 7 years in an embassy. It seems to me clear that he has demonstrated that he is not hiding in the embassy because he is afraid of the rape allegations in Sweden. If his fears are justified or not, I am not in a position to give any kind of serious answer to.

I am unable to find any support in the linked article that Sweden did not pursue criminal cases against foreigners outside of Sweden. But if you have any such evidence, and that there was a policy change with regards to Assange, then this is highly relevant in that it shows that Assange is not treated the same as others. In the tabloid article I linked the prosecutor seem to claim that for example in murder cases an international arrest warrant would be issued.

I'm not sure in what sense the prosecutor was railed for letting Assange go. And if so, which prosecutory? In fact, the Åland island case and Assange seem rather similar. Assange too was permitted to leave Sweden, according to the article you linked [1]

[1]: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-14/julian-assange-to-be-... Section "What happened next?", relevant paragraph "By the time a Swedish court ruled that Mr Assange should be detained for questioning, he had flown back to London (after being granted permission to do so by Swedish authorities).

We switched from stripe to local payment gateways in some countries because some banks automatically convert any charge by stripe to USD making it more expensive for the end client and refusing in some cases the charge, when in local gateways everything goes through in the local currency.

Additionaly stripe charges their 2.5% to 3% + 2% conversion fee making it impossible some business models that are low margin.
We are past that now, new PCIe 4.0 SSDs just have been showcased along with the new AMD chips and they can do 5GBytes/s read and a bit above 4GB/s write (AMD is rumored to have invested in the R&D of the controller). You'd need 40 GbE to match one -- and EPYC Rome, also scheduled for this fall, will have 160 lanes allowing for dozens of them. You could very easily reach 100 GByte/s read which no network will match.
I (naively) expected the platform to be paid for by the creators in a way where they all shared the operating costs while finding some “fair” way to allocate advertising income.

Instead they’ve taken Jay-Z’s Tidal strategy: create a premium platform for the content creators and expect the content consumers to pay a premium price for it.
I won't be surprised if they start selling a bag of chips for $9999

zsh is better than bash in nearly all aspects, at least in my use cases, so this is a great news for me. Is there anything that can be done in bash but not in zsh?

I'm pretty opposed to tipping as a practice, or at least the reduced minimum wage for tipped positions, but I was expecting more from those articles. If you strip away the appeals to identity politics they are much less interesting or compelling. The WP article basically goes away save for a handful of cherrypicked sources. The Time article retains some vague handwaving about how many restaurant workers were former slaves around the time tipping caught on--how do they fail to draw a clear connection to racism in a time when overt racism was a point of pride?
Exactly, compatibility. fish has a somewhat different syntax to bash.

Actually, if people are willing to be influenced by disinformation on the Internet, I suspect they are not using an "authority" model of information at all. Perhaps all they care about is whether the "information" is useful to whatever causes they believe in, not its source.

E.g., an anti-vaxxer reading a post on Facebook that agrees that vaccination is harmful, by this concept would be likely to approve the post (like, share) without wasting time with authorities or fact-checking.

Oh, yes- I remember the Norwegian ship. I don't remember the details- I'll keep an eye out for the report. Thanks.

>> He ended up steering the ship right into the eye of a hurricane.

I know. I've read the NTSB report. And the bridge transcript. Most harrowing thing I've ever read.

I got the feeling though that there was fault with the land crew who tied down the cars in the holds inappropriately. If I remember correctly, first there was water in the holds, possibly from a burst pipe hit by a car moving about freely; then the cars started slipping around on the wet floor; then they started listing to port; then the oil pump gave up; then the captain turned his port to the wind to counter the list; then they lost power; and by that time they were in the eye wall of the hurricane and they were lost. Perhaps, if it hadn't been an old ship and if the cargo had been secured properly, we wouldn't know there ever was a ship with that name. Despite the captain's mistakes.

There were entire areas unknown in 1789 - incorporating them is basically writing law again (see example below). Reliable fully automatic weapons that can do up to 1000rpm belong to same category.

"The 1934 act designated broadcasters as speakers — thus granting them First Amendment rights — but the broadcast media were also treated as possessing a somewhat lesser claim to First Amendment protections than the print media. The Supreme Court’s decision in Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. Federal Communications Commission (1969) upheld the principle that the scarcity of frequencies put broadcasters under public obligations to present multiple viewpoints, which therefore served as limits on their First Amendment rights."

There are FAR more than a million bribeable government workers in India. According to the ILO there were 55 million public sector employees in 2014. [1]

It isn't clear what percentage of them work in jobs that involve interaction with the public / businesses (and are therefore bribeable), but I would guess 50%, not 2%.

There are quite a few other factors to this calculation, though.

Quite often, bribe receivers pay a portion to their managers (who aren't directly bribeable but make hiring and promotion decisions). This happens in property registration offices for instance.

Also, not everyone bribeable actually takes bribes. There's a significant number that don't. For instance many postal workers and doctors don't take bribes.

Finally, bribes are very unequally distributed. A minister might get paid $100m, and bribes would basically form 100% of their income.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply - I agree with a lot of your sentiments. I'm OK with forgetting content (am old enough to be at peace with that), but I do have my own mostly-maintained-with-consistent-diligence process of highlighting/annotating and reviewing most nonfiction I read. It's how I get my nonfiction kicks and am not ready to accept it's just not worth it or possible (in an efficient manner) with audio.

Also, I don't think I can justify indulging in buying audio and digital copies of all books (have only done this twice, to test it out), but I have experimented with bookmarking times and going back to re-listen, transcribe or jot down thoughts. It's extremely time consuming.
Kinda? There's other patent issue with HLS that keeps it mostly Apple only since Apple foots the costs on apple products, which can be similarly argued creates/continues an unfair barrier of entry: http://www.overdigital.com/2012/04/17/the-hidden-licensing-c...

But being required to license anything in order to implement what is a supposed to be an open standard is already a problem for a standard that's supposed to be open, even if it's not an antitrust issue.

There were failed social media platforms before Myspace and Facebook. If you'd have said Facebook would outgrow Myspace people would have thought you were crazy. At some point someone is going to unseat YouTube. It's going to take timing, luck, and a product that delivers something better or different than YouTube. Is this it? Who knows? Most likely not, but that's why you keep trying.
I agree. If tipping really came to prominence during that time period, I wouldn't at all be surprised if it had a racist history. But given that no one at the time hid their racism, I'm surprised that neither article could manage to make a clear connection.

Explain what you mean.
Not the OP, but I agree with both of you actually. It's easier in many ways to run a POSIX-compliant shell with a more "familiar" scripting language to bash users (especially when it comes to running existing scripts or one-liners you find online).... buuuut at the same time I think it's pretty clear that fish's scripting language is much more modern and "better" in many ways.

This is so funny to me. The vast majority of creators really don't understand their "role", so to speak, in the YouTube ecosystem. The ego, I think, consumes them.

Most content on YouTube—most views, most videos, most trending content—is just slightly better than nothing at all. The bar is both surprisingly low and high at the same time. Most people will not pay for most of the content that gets upload to YouTube in any way. And the reality is that the people who complain about demonization—the vast majority of them—would have zero revenue anyway because no one is going to pay to advertise against their content either.

The keyword is most. There are a handful of creators whose content is more valuable than nothing at all. They are not bound by YouTube. Never have been. They choose to host on YouTube because it's a good deal for them, but they could just as easily survive hosting their content somewhere else.

If you've got valuable content you can host it somewhere else and people will watch it. They will share it far and wide. Some people will spend money for it. Advertisers will gladly work with you and you'd be surprised just how quickly they find you and want to cut you a deal for a :30 spot. But most content isn't valuable outside of YouTube. Most content isn't even valuable enough to pay for the bandwidth it takes for people to watch it.

The YouTube alternative already exists. It's called hosting the content yourself.

Given that Craig Federighi basically said this type of migration only comes around every 20 years, I would imagine Objective-C is dead. I do hope they actually take the time and fix the Swift examples so they are updated.

This does hurt. I've been programming Objective-C since NeXTSTEP and love it. Swift is still like Perl for me. Something I will use for programming for money, but not enjoy for one minute. I loved the clarity of selector syntax, but Javascript clones rule the world. I still don't understand the love of commas or why they are needed.
A mechanical loom can be made so it doesn't kill people when it makes a minor mistake, and doesn't have to dodge unpredictable humans and random wildlife or other obstacles while working.

That freedom to mess up is a luxury that self-driving cars don't have, and makes all the difference.

People on here seem to think that a self-driving car only has to be safer than a human in order to be viable (which is bar that isn't close to having been reached in itself), but in reality humans are held legally responsible when their driving kills people.

If a self-driving car kills someone, then the manufacturer is responsible, not the owner of the car who wasn't driving so can't possibly be responsible.

Otherwise we need to have a conversation as a society on what liability we will accept, because I know that I don't want to be the one paying for the deaths caused by these car companies playing fast and loose with people's safety in order to capture the "autopilot" market.

> And to think music studios need so much horsepower when "Sgt. Pepper's" was recorded on 4 tracks…

What audio effects there were in Sgt. Pepper’s were generated in analogue effects pedals and synths. Today, those same effects are expected to be simulated, in parallel, in realtime, on the DAW you’re producing the track on. (And modern music genres use way more effect layers. Modern pop music is a fifty-deep effects tree with one-second-long samples at the bottom, with full-fidelity rendering of such monitored in real-time as performers feed vocals and other live input in.)

I'll answer your question, but I should say up-front that my businesses mostly deal with relatively low-value transactions, so although action is always considered in these cases, usually we decide it's not worth pursuing. On the occasions that it's been deemed worthwhile and we have started the recovery process, we have never reached the stage of formal court proceedings. Generally once someone realises that their actions were not acceptable and we really are willing to go further if necessary, that tends to resolve things quickly. So I suppose the honest answer is yes, we did get our money and sometimes a bit more than the original amount owed due to interest/penalties/etc, but I don't know how effective our intended next steps would really have been other than where we've had positive legal advice.
Your assumption requires that no one actually wants or will buy the 256gb option. I for one definitely would consider it, all my current computers have only 256gb and I haven't had issues (external hard drives are cheap).
