That doesn’t tell us when they first started bundling the malware though.

Either way, I just found out that BitLord is not made by the BitTorrent company.

Same thing has happened before – companies bundling malware with their own BitTorrent clients.

For example, in 2016. https://www.pcworld.com/article/3114134/bittorrent-client-is...

I think any blockchain companies have nothing much relevance here.

And I guess what the top-most commenter was calling for was that BitTorrent the company should use trademark laws to disallow companies that bundle malware with their software from using the BitTorrent brand?

You continue to miss the point. The cool thing about the iPad is not that's a laptop. It's that it's a great device in it's own category, that also more and more can replace a laptop.
As a huge proponent of kubernetes for the enterprise world (a big part of my day job), I won’t touch it for small to medium sized projects.

The cost of running a managed kubernetes is too expensive to justify for the benefits in these cases. And if you choose to self-manage to cut the money cost, it ends up being significantly more expensive from a time and sanity perspective.

I'll take all the downvotes in the world from insane people who must have some mental block that makes them think they can do "more" on an iPad than a laptop. If your idea of doing more is being so weak you would give up mouse support and a real OS to shave off 1 lb of something to carry, then yeah an iPad does way more. They make laptops with touchscreens and great battery life too, bro. Where is your God now? I bet you had no idea.

> What part of VPC networking is challenging to you?

It can be a source of friction for someone that is just trying to accomplish a specific goal, in this case it might just be to use AWS to go live.

If building a database-backed prototype is your goal, designing a schema is only tangentially related to that goal. Schema design ability can slow you down if you have limited familiarity with SQL and/or the entity relationship model used by RDBMS.

NoSQL allows you to reach that specific goal faster than with an RDBMS by lowering the friction of creating database records and it does it by flipping the schema model from schema-on-write to schema-on-read which is a huge time saver. This made NoSQL great for building prototypes, especially for devs with little or no familiarity with SQL, because it eliminates the upfront effort of designing a schema (that is certain to change anyway) before you can begin to store records in the database.

In other words, the use of a far more familiar language (JavaScript vs. SQL) and the simpler programming model (document-model vs. entity relationship model) is a big part of why MongoDB was able to earn mind share among devs evaluating NoSQLs databases.

This is indeed interesting research. But I think Elm makes more sense if your client-side logic is relatively simple, so that you're basically just defining a view in your frontend code.

How about we change customs that are historical relics and now just feed global warming with unnecessary air conditioning?

Can't one leader in the banking industry. government, or other influential position point out the futility of sustaining that tradition and start a trend to change?

I'm sure they can find other ways to show their status that don't require wearing multiple layers of wool even in nearly tropical places like Hong Kong that need expensive, chemically intensive cleaning.

Amazing to see the "Duncan Memorial Cedar Tree" so close to a wiped out area (aaaand a quick search reveals it fell just a few years ago. Ouch.)

What exactly does it mean to do "reduced impact logging" in Europe, do you have a link?

Coming from the Northeast where our trees are also of great economic value (and of greater natural value), I completely agree that a more strategic approach to logging should be pursued. But at the same time, we need to develop methods for supporting rural logging towns economically. I'm not sure what the answer is, but ideally it can make use of and build upon existing skill-sets and lifestyles in those areas.

I want to believe that if communities are properly educated and given opportunities to improve their practices, they would.

Anything whose main value proposition is about “ability to scale” will likely trade off your “ability to be agile & survive”. That’s rarely a good trade off.

Interesting that he sees micromanaging infra on AWS as more agile than using managed services.

Also, serverless systems don't cost you money when you(r customers) don't use them, so that's a huge plus on survival.

Finally, code you write is always a liability, if you got a good architecture (hexagonal, etc.) you can just swap out one service that saved you time in the past with another service that will save you time in the future.
Do get CPAP if your sleep study says you need one. It's a complete game changer, depending on the severity of your OSA.
I read a blog of someone preparing for a 24-hour swim around one of the Swiss lakes and he was explaining about how it's important to get the reach and catch right. I understood this to mean getting your body rotation, shoulder and slightly-bent, extended arm into the most mechanically advantageous position. I imagine that this minimises "difficult" stresses on the shoulder joint. I'm trying to implement this without a trainer and it seems not to be irritating my (unrelated) shoulder injury.
This is the foundation of his complaint that large firms are not ethical.

Initially, probably. Think of the long game. This is something they have already done, twice. They have the experience and expertise to make this less impactful.

Longer battery life is always preferable in portable devices, no? Alternatively, what about the reduction in the need for the materials, therefore the environmental impact, used in making batteries for laptops? Apple want to be the greenest manufacturer.
In a safe? Buy a half-decent one.

You should align your storage choice to your contingency plan. For a lost root your contingency plan should involve distrusting and replacing the hierarchy underneath the root. To the extent that you wish to avoid executing the plan, buy a better safe so you are less likely to need the plan.

It is OK for your contingency plan to include "Go bankrupt and cease to exist" if you are any sort of corporate entity.
That still comes down to an understanding of the API.

I don't think that appending a SingleLineString to a String object would obviously add a newline. The String/StringBuffer/StringBuilder classes in Java certainly don't work that way.

If you were adding to some other object like an instance of some text representation class, this could be different. But it would still not be 100% safe to deduce just by the API itself without looking at the documentation.

> Do any of the Kreise (roughly analogous to the county governments of the US) or the Gemeinden (municipal governments) of Germany operate a bank

Yes. In every place[1] either one or the other owns a public bank (although through mergers nowadays often two or three share one through a Zweckverband). See this list: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Sparkassen_in_Deutsc...

[1]: Except Bremen, Hamburg, and some places in Schleswig-Holstein in which another kind of public bank exists.
Thanks for explaining what you meant. However I don't quite see how your examples relate to the kind of fallacious reasoning in the example (that it is OK to steal from self-checkout stores because they're making you do work). This (the example) is not just bad reasoning; it seems to stem from moral deficiency, and one can be morally deficient with or without being a drug addict.

Also, the specific mental issues you list are: a) paranoia and b) amnesia. Neither of these seem to relate well to this example. It only seems old-fashioned generalised disdain for 'junkies'.

One thing I really like about Dart is the lack of interface objects, they are implicit. The `contract` proposal feels like having to write interfaces. The inference in Dart is really nice to work with as the compiler gets it right most of the time.

The other thing is the documentation is really easy to grok and come up to speed on:

Edit: Additionally, mocking (with Mockito-Dart) becomes trivial, which is great for unit testing:

class Thing {
String boo;
}

class MockedThing extends Mock implements Thing {}

when(thing.boo).thenReturn('ack');

Anyone could develop software for the Macintosh prior to the release of OS X. There were third-party tools to do so. You could extend the system software. You could distribute your software as you pleased. Depending upon how you look at it, it was actually more open than OS X development since modern releases of OS X lock certain things down in the name of security. Both are a far cry from iOS development.

In those cases, the switched-to architecture could emulate the previous one with acceptable performance. For the hypothetical amd64 -> aarch64 transition, I'm unaware of the existence of software, silicon or the combination of the two which could emulate the former on the latter while staying in a reasonable power envelope.

Emulation is non-optional if one wants to avoid splitting the ecosystem.

But this is only a feeling. If you look at it rationally, you would have to point out at least one way in which Apple is suffering from third party repairs. Then you would have to make the case how said point is a cost heavy enough to justify these deep architectural changes. Go ahead.

In brief: there are strong reasons to believe that much of higher education and even large parts of school serve not to teach but to test students. An English major doesn't lead to higher pay because it makes one a substantially better worker. It does so because achieving it signals three primary traits to the potential employer: intelligence, conscientiousness, and conformity.

This isn't education's only function. Some learning undeniably still takes place. But in Caplan's estimation signalling is probably about 80% of the payoff.

This picture is supported by a large number of observations:

- Why do even top schools like Harvard make little to no effort to prevent non-students from attending lectures?

- Why do students cheer when class is canceled?

- Why does ratemyprofessor.com have the measures "overall quality" and "difficulty" but not an explicit "informativeness" measure and why is high difficulty considered bad?

- Why do students cheat on tests and why do teachers make such a large effort to prevent it?

- Why do employers rarely show concern that you might've forgotten what you learned?

- Why do statistics indicate that graduation year has a much greater effect on wages than all the other years?

All these points contradict the "education = learning" viewpoint but are straightforwardly explained with the signalling model.

And once you acknowledge the importance of signalling it puts statements such as

> And, a good education pays off even for less gifted people. Their lives are better, they contribute more to the economy and less to crime.

into a completely new perspective. As Caplan writes:

> The classic example: You want a better view at a concert. What can you do? Stand up. Individually, standing works. What happens, though, if everyone copies you? Can everyone see better by standing? No way. Popular support for education subsidies rests on the same fallacy. The
person who gets more education, gets a better job. It works; you see it plainly. Yet it does not follow that if everyone gets more education, everyone gets a better job. In the signaling model, subsidizing everyone’s schooling to improve our jobs is like urging everyone to stand up at a concert to improve our views. Both are “smart for one, dumb for all.”

Kubernetes gives you a standard way of describing and running distributed systems. It makes it easy to share distributed systems with others via a package manager. It makes it easier for companies to offer tools/services that simplify the management of distributed systems. It allows you to quickly get up and running with a complex distributed system (e.g. Kafka, Spark, Distributed Deep Learning) without relying on a cloud provider service (not always an advantage, but for some companies being cloud-mobile has substantial benefits).

That is valuable so I can't see k8s disappearing unless there's a better distributed OS - I don't see one right now.
You have to remember that of the $2.5 billion, almost all of that was spent on materials and labour building the new trains. 5% of the total cost as a performance guarantee will be a very significant, or perhaps even total part of the profit the supplier expects to make on these trains.
