I suspect many would be far more open to clearly non medical usage of machines they actually own or lease. What you were asking for isn’t any, and had perceived risk for them.

If I was a random clinician there is no way I would have helped you either.

If you do want a MRI done out of curiosity your best bet is to go through biomedical imaging research group who needs subjects, I would guess. Unless you happen to live near a manufacturer.
This is actually a common complaint on Blind (anonymous social networking site).

Google seems to consistently low ball relative to other companies (Facebook, Apple, uber, etc.)

Obviously depends on the team/role but seems like google is trying to leverage its “prestigious brand” to pay less
If human civilization survives long enough, option 1 (one world government) will definitely happen, because it makes a lot of sense in a highly interconnected world. But it's very hard to say how far off it is.
That majority of people can afford to focus on work or put in their 8 hours and go back to their families thanks to a "vocal minority" which was able to convince others in the past to fight for new rights and for what's right.

Obviously some people think there's more to life than cashing a large paycheck and writing code. "Not interested in politics" is an euphemism for clueless and easy to manipulate by those that are.

The Cultural Revolution is IMO something entirely different. To me it's a movement started by a dictator with the aim to consolidate power and purge the system of dissident voices.

Wow, we have very different perspectives on the world.
Bringing together this and what Simon321 said here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20686466 ), it may be that computers themselves have prolonged the current technological era by allowing us to wring out many more incremental improvements.
Everyone here seems to think that if you have a good job you shouldn't be involved in labor organizing, because everyone else has it worse?

Isn't the point that everyone should be organizing because working conditions everywhere are much worse than they could be, and the organizing at Google is a case study for how organizing works at one particularly unusual company?
I direct you to my literature. https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=TFgipkIAAAAJ&hl=en...

You may find especially interesting an article I published that used an embarassingly parallel computing system that I built which ran on Google's internal infrastructure (not a supercomputer) in response to my codes not running well on supercomputers.

If you wish to have a substantive discussion about my statements (rather than flinging insults), I'd be happy to.
Yeah, I suppose... The post I was replying to just sounded to me a lot like something Epictetus could've said. As in, you shouldn't mind starving if you can't help it.

Now that I think about it, my memory of Epictetus seems to be really hazy, so I probably shouldn't try to discuss stoicism without doing some re-reading and thinking first.

Pro tip for people with SVGs that have an image inside. You can pull that base64 image out of the svg, convert to image, compress it (tinypng, pngcrush etc) then convert back to base64 and out back in the SVG. We automated this with a slackbot but it’s often overlooked with all SVG optimization scripts.

Microsoft and Mapbox also have an experimental project where computer vision on cars maps the location of recognized objects. This is probably true of every company researching self-driving cars.
That's really not a hard problem to solve though, as an application developer you can just have a default theme for your app, and have some checkbox somewhere letting the user use their OS theme instead of the app default.

Or you can just accept that whenever you let someone configure the UI in an advanced way, it is possible for them to make the UI more confusing. Just because it is possible for someone to mess up your app with a bad config, doesn't mean it is best to remove any kind of configuration at all.

How to Develop a Serverless App with OpenFaaS and Okteto

Based on the question raised without facts it seems a fake.
I am mostly interested in technology, but living in HK before 1997 and after it, being a beneficiary of closed China to make my first fortune. Since my family is from Hong Kong it pains me that instead of actual facts people are fighting and protesting over worthless fake news and issues.

Singapore is a great example, it's laws and rules are similar to China with focus on health, education and housing. Laws regarding protest in Singapore are very severe. Still ask any sane Hong Kong person given a choice will they like to live in Singapore which is same as China when it comes to rules and most will want to.
The strategy they are following: Just greenwash your advertising and Bob's your uncle.
You can also build regular packages, no matter how complicated they are, by spanning an FHS environment. That's sort of a sandbox that simulates a regular Unix environment with whatever dependencies you need in the usual places (/bin, /usr, ...).

Of course, you loose some Nix advantages. But it's a great way to get a regular Unix environment for one-off things or desperate cases.
They have since been acquired and no longer exist.
What exactly do you mean? You seem to be the developer here so "maybe" is not really an answer. What is the religious angle of the site? I'd be concerned that the site is an aggregator for vulnerable people who will then be pitched a cure. Scientology?

My fear is some grid will sign an exclusive deal with XYZ company when they should really just expose the prices and markets to end-users.

Why yes, my intelligent electricity agent would like my dryer to book 2 kWh at 4AM-5AM with a 4cent penalty to me if you cancel.

Most of my loads are thermal, and I have lots of thermal banking available. If electricity prices are negative, run my A/C full tilt.

I'm working since 2011 only for OSS software and non-profit organizations (unintentionally) and it was starting all with Google Summer of Code for me. Earning money and working for OSS can go in the same direction, it does not need to be side thing.
That is not true. It doesn’t involve ionizing radiation, so not a dose risk like CT. But look up PNS and SAR (peripheral nerve stimulation and specific absorption rate), for example. This is mostly handled well for standard pulse sequences of course, but not “zero risk”.

Beyond that, there is a reliance that you do not have any implants etc., even some tattoos. And you tell the truth about it. From the clinics point of view too risky.
When you know an article is a dupe, how do you look it up?

I've wanted to help with this before but I find it very hard to find the old articles.
I disagree. Concluding that because they don't "just switch jobs" means they're being dishonest seems very flippant.

In fact, the idea that any organization on the planet could be exclusively a place where only happiness exists, and no one could be misfit, is patently absurd.

I see an implication in your response that money buys happiness and there are no other significant factors worth mentioning. Am I wrong?

What was the question again?

You might want to place those Cavendish ones on the oven with a little of butter, or to fry them. They are unbeatable on that format, but are pretty bland otherwise.
I wonder if there is a company that's really interested in developing a secure (by design) operating system. Apart from you-know-who?
Plenty of companies use Azure and MS all the way, media/marketing people think Linux is nerdy and too hard and those nice folks from MS came by and bought them lunch last week, would be rude not to go with them...
I’m an ordinary HK resident, software engineer, living in Kowloon and work in HK island. I see the protesters breaking laws, damaging properties, obstructing traffic, causing the entire society to grind to halt. Their actions are not unlike mobs and they disrupt social order almost everywhere. I don’t know under what circumstances mainland military can get involved, but I hope when they do, law and order can be restored in my city.
With clandestine I just meant unobvious, not perfectly hidden.
> Am I the only one that thinks Cavendish bananas are delicious?

I don't have a problem with them. But they way they are grown is highly hit or miss. Yes, Cavendishes may all look similar. But the worst and best tasting banana I've ever had was in highschool and from a local grocer.

I don't think most people have had a proper ripe cavendish. They get what the supermarket has told them is a ripe cavendish. And this yellow, starchy, pulp really is a banana. So they assume the Cavendish is not a good tasting banana.
From the FDA:

> The magnetic fields that change with time create loud knocking noises which may harm hearing if adequate ear protection is not used. They may also cause peripheral muscle or nerve stimulation that may feel like a twitching sensation.

> The radiofrequency energy used during the MRI scan could lead to heating of the body. The potential for heating is greater during long MRI examinations.

Minimal, perhaps negligible? Absolutely. Worth risking a license for a mere $3k? Probably not.
my take is that we've harvested the easy pickings which were accessible as a result of formalized and professionalized scientific research and engineering processes. now, we're entering the era of formalized and professionalized data-driven processes.

the advances delivered by this latest technological movement aren't going to take us from gazing at birds to being able to construct a plane. they're going to take us from inefficiency to efficiency, and from ignorance about deep, broad, and complex phenomena to descriptive knowledge. if we're lucky, it'll take us to knowledge about causation in some areas too, but this technological revolution isn't about causes so much as about coping with effects.

it's the subtle stuff that reshapes the world invisibly and in ways that are difficult to comprehend without a wide view. for instance, in science, data-driven research via genome-wide association studies (GWAS) etc can lead to more efficient allocation of diagnostic resources in healthcare, meaning that people with certain characteristics can on average be healthier as a result.
> Honestly, it felt kind of shitty to delete the repository and unpin the project from my profile.

It is kind of shitty to do that. Why not just archive the repo and add a note to the README that you've turned it into non-free software? At least that way you don't break the main link to the project or remove all the content from the issue tracker. This is a project that other people have contributed work to, so it's rude to just destroy that.

The most recent fork I can find is here: https://github.com/kuldeepkeshwar/sizzy
Correct, and as that guy, I don't have enough time to build the side services and market it because of lack of time meanwhile maintain of job ofcourse (if you are planning oss without a job, tread carefully). Though I really want to so saving up for that.
well just behind is very generous considering Azure's market share is around 12% and AWS is like 50%

I will tell you a secret: There are corporate and non-profit organizations out there which want to you to write open source software and they pay you for it (I know it's shocking).
Particularly if I was in the 30% that still dies from it.

Although if I were to die from it I wouldn't probably be able to call it anything.
Sony Develops Wearable Air Conditioner to Keep You Cool While on the Move
"Nobody runs Windows Server on the Cloud" is a massive stretch. It may not be a leader but it's definitely used https://www.datanyze.com/market-share/operating-systems/wind...

Also if your stack is .NET you definitely need Windows Server. Even Amazon has some things built on .NET/Windows Server (woot.com)
I haven't read any such accounts, although I constantly hear people saying that Huawei is a shady company. The media campaign has worked, and everyone just knows Huawei to be shady - just nobody is quite sure why. That's why I ask for specific cases, but all I ever get in response are the same two or three minor incidents from a long time ago. This is in contrast to other major tech companies that people generally find respectable (Samsung, Apple, Google, Microsoft), which have engaged in far more serious documented cases of IP theft over their histories.

I just hope that once someone starts enforcing our existing laws that video game companies will abandon this idea since the access and implementation to the boxes would be different based on the user's physical location.

Excellent to see. Scientists are hampered by the kind of informational gatekeeping the current journal system represents, and Elsevier is the most predatory of the bunch -- the late 90s Microsoft of scientific publication.

Pantone Comes Up with New Colors for Its Authoritative Guide
For a company like Google, which is highly dependent on getting and keeping highly skilled tech workers, "What is good for the company" often involves keeping employees happy.

Google got to where it is by aspiring to have the best working conditions available, and much of its talent came for that reason. You can build companies other ways--just like Amazon did--but changing that deal out from under the employees who came based on that deal would be quite disruptive and result in turmoil during the transition.

Would things be better for the company coming out the other side of such a transition? Hard to say, but the costs would be quite high.

That's why you build on top of a layer which ensures the OS has the required components. If you build on top of GTK, you know your application will run on any OS with that GTK version installed. Or if you build on top of Android, you know they will make sure that the button component still works on different versions of the OS.
This is very exciting. One step closer to a manual for spaceship earth.
But that is cureable, just not guaranteed. You are more likely to live than die with this treatment.
You seem to think simply re-stating the facts is enough to dismiss the article.

But you forgot to tell us WHY it is acceptable for Microsoft to charge their customers a premium for using their fully purchased licenses on a cloud provider of their choice rather than dedicated physical hardware. And why it is ok for Microsoft to create an artificial monopoly for these licenses via Azure Dedicated Host.

Microsoft sold licenses that could be used this way, customers used them this way, and now Microsoft wants to double-dip asking their customers to pay twice just to actually use their already owned licenses.

> What it sounds like is happening at the moment is Amazon is running a shit tonne of MSFT software without any MSFT licenses. Which sounds pretty cheeky to me.

That's not what is happening. People are buying Windows Server licenses and running them on compute that they rent from AWS. Until this change, that was completely inside the terms of Windows Server licenses (if for no other reason that they've been pushing hypervisor-based Windows Server virtualization for almost ten years).

I thought the xoroshiros are basically Vigna's? Developed further from precursors.

But you're right, there's no successor anointed yet to MT19937, but it's about time. Wish some real expert in the field would publish an authoritative account (but opinionated enough to make real choices) that programming language devs could point to, and across the board implement:

* safe (ie, a cryptographically secure PRNG) <- default

* fast (if your application needs speed more than security against adversaries, such as Monte Carlo integration)

* others (if you really know what you're doing)

Yeah, the js ecosystem does a lot of things right that are done poorly in other languages. Compare Yarn to pretty much any package manager besides Cargo, for instance. Another example is that Typescript integration into VSCode is top notch, better than any other language I've used
I'd split logic between remote and local, to amplify privacy.

Capacity to search across currently open tabs/pages, and browser history.

Capacity to individually set site weights, including blacklisting sites.

Distinguish between modes, most especially "shopping" vs. "informational". Retail is killing the Web.

Focus far more strongly on reputation for sites, authors, editors. Put skin in the game. Sub-domain filters for/against specific sources (e.g., blacklist specific YouTube, Medium, or Reddit channels / subs).

Strongly favour sites using semantic markup usefully and validly.

Assign and share "Web search death penalties" for abusive sites.

A search engine which was very fast to spank black-hat SEO with short-lived (though escalating w/ recurrance) penalities would be highly useful. The notion that that act don't play might help a lot. Flip-side is appeals / corrections (see the examine.com story currently on HN).

A general thought is that individual actions taken to tweak experience are (possibly) less subject to gaming than various other black-hat SEO tricks. Though that would likely change....
Maybe "quality of life" isn't the best way to describe it. I meant things that are more focused on entertainment or making life more convenient, as opposed to completely changing culture/life for people.
