Thanks! Short answer, Months - but perhaps not in 2020. Definitely recommend you get renters insurance if you don't have it.

More info: We have to roll out state by state, meaning we need to get approved in a state before we can do business there. That can be a pretty tedious process. So although we are working on it, we don't really have a good estimate for when we'll be available in each one. Since our model is a bit... different... some state regulators may take more convincing. California is very consumer friendly, so we got along because our model helps people. But other states don't share that point of view.

That’s not what the head-to-head matchups against Trump say. Polls have shown over and over again that almost any democrat beats Trump in a head-to-head matchup, but that Bernie, Biden, and Bloomberg are all just about tied in beating Trump by the largest margins.

Most voters don’t have a coherent ideology. The ever-appealing “center” is not a real thing; it exists only wherever voters can be convinced it exists.
Logarithm and its 9 logarithmic identities
SAML2 is kind of hairy, technically, but--speaking as someone who used to do this full-time up until six years ago and has stepped into other sings since--most of the pain was from half-baked implementations and utter crap-tier error/exception reporting. Like, on one hand you'd be plagued by a lot of small-time implementations that had a very inadequate appreciation of the spec, and/or only supported about 10% of it, or had fatal flaws in their naive handling of XML or even worse fatal flaws related to XML-DSIG and canonicalization... and on the other hand you'd get these monstrous enterprise products that specialized in offering only the most oblique of views into their inner configuration or error states. It really takes a lot of patience and expert level skills in 5-6 different things to cut to the heart of most practical issues in the space.

To the extent that the US system of government is more influenced by money than it is by votes, it is plutocratic rather than democratic.
I'd love to see a real scientific paper validating the patriarchy theory, too.
Corporate buses are helpful to their workforce (and at this point normalized to the extent that such backlash is far less common) but are also just a bandaid that can lead to extreme commutes [0]. Ultimately, the faults of development in the Bay Area, Seattle, and other high-growth/high-CoL areas are mainly on local governments and residents, but large employers share part of the responsibility because their presence is what drives up the desirability of a region in the first place, as well as prices.

Yes, you can't ask Google to solve everything themselves (even if their PR likes to paint them as being in the business of doing that), but they could at least explore more policies like opening larger offices in regions with more housing, embracing more remote work, working more closely with local communities, etc. You'd think megacorps with the resources and supposed strategic foresight that FAANGM possess would be more proactive about addressing an issue that impacts their workforce. Is it no wonder then that their workers will seek desperate measures like unionizing?

No it doesn't. You can get the same education for much less (in other countries, other bootcamps, on your own etc.). Additionally, you take a big risk by foregoing income for 9 months. How do you think a person who had minimum wage before would pay for their life during those 9 months?

it seems to me like he's trying to reinvent the wheel. a 2hr movie divided into 8 minute segments isn't a movie it's a minisode of a series. Yes, there's a name for it because it's not even an original idea. By the way youtube, who he labels as competition already has a lot of web series in minisode format. This guy is following Apple's model. 1. Copy somebody else's idea. 2. put it in a shiny package & add a catchy, fancy sounding tag line without really improving the core functionality. 3. sell it at a premium under the guise of it being innovative. It only works because people attach a premium value to Apple's copies because they're either not familiar with the original product that Apple copied or they believe Apple's excuse for passing off another company's idea as their own. This is the same thing.
I don't think that's quite right. Lambda is taking out loans against the ISA but the only way to discharge the debt is by declaring bankruptcy. If Lambda defaults on these loans the bank will indeed own them but won't be satisfied just taking back the ISA contracts and enforcing them themselves (and presumably, if they default, the ISAs aren't worth what they were financed at anyway). Lambda is still on the hook for the full balance of the debt unless they want to close up and liquidate or file chapter 11.

Hey everyone, Duc here the creator. As a developer, I’m always looking out for the most interesting news in my favorite categories like Technology, Web dev.

So I built Newssup (my first live cross-platform app). Under the hood it is built as a PWA app (you know: React Native, React Native Web, Serverless) focusing on speed and distraction-free reading experience, Android and iOS app are coming very soon (just need to polishing the builds). You can use it from a desktop or mobile browser (even set it as a mobile Home icon) to browse & bookmark news stories.

Let me know if you have any questions, and any feedback is much appreciated!
Google faces investigation into discrimination against a pregnant employee
Perhaps this is less a knock on those people than it is with the position of CTO/CIO itself. A role that only works effectively when it's filled by a special unicorn candidate is a broken role.

I can think of some reasons why this might be:

- It takes a particular kind of personality to ascend to a C-suite role, and that personality isn't a good fit for solving this particular problem

- Concentrating responsibility for this problem in a single C-suite role lets the rest of the C-suite ignore it as "somebody else's problem"

- Concentrating responsibility for this problem in a single C-suite role serves mostly to provide a handy scapegoat when things inevitably go wrong

- This is a cross-cutting problem that can't effectively be siloed into a single role, even a C-suite one; unless the CEO/board also buy in, the CTO/CIO will lack the authority required to override objections or inaction on the part of other officers

ALE is not meant to permanently replace your apartment. I don't understand why you would be expecting 4 years of living expenses to be covered in the case of your apartment burning down. I wouldn't even expect 4 months. It is meant to help you get back on your feet, and go to a hotel for the immediate aftermath while you look for a new place to stay.

You lost your apartment, not your entire livelihood. Chances are you still have an income to pay rent and a big chunk of contents coverage to help you out with down payments, and honestly, the insurance company should be going after the building owner.
This is a way you can approach it.

Timezones. 6PM in NYC is midnight in Paris. Leave the office at 3PM and get to Paris at Midnight? Lost half a day leaving, still not getting into a hotel until 1AM best case.

Leave NYC supersonic at 9PM, get to paris at 6AM, great, I might've been able to sleep 1h.

On a normal plane I can leave NYC at 6PM, get to Paris at 8AM, and hopefully have gotten to sleep for 3-4h.

This also doesn't account for block padding - busy destinations and origins are busy. JFK-CDG is blocked at ~7.5h, at least 45m of that time is for padding departure/taxiing/landing slots in JFK and CDG.

Doubling the speed of the middle leg is not the same as halving trip length.
The lambda school struck me as odd due to its very long 18 month duration. Most successful bootcamps I've seen have been focused on 2-4 month programs. They also try to get students that have already taught themselves some coding (at least be able to code up a hang-man game in a terminal), and focus on teaching effective abstraction and how to use git. Basically, they don't seek to take people who don't know how to code and turn out engineers more than a year later. They take people who know how to code, and refine their skills to the point that they are employable.

It took me by surprise too, but now when I give a training, I make sure I include how to:

- read a stack trace

- find things in the doc

- use the debugger

Most people, professional devs, signing up for my __advanced__, yes, specifically requested to be advanced, Python trainings, don't know how to do this.

Again, I try to be extremely nice about this, because nobody likes to feel inadequate and I'd rather have people learning happily this and improve their life and work.

They are related in that a government decided to politicize something like water testing (or in this case, environmental protection).

The watersheds are essential for filtering water that hits Ontarian cities.

Walkerton was the result of negligence and disregard for the environment and people's safety.

We could easily run into a similar situation if faced with similar wanton disregard for the functions of the watersheds by deregulating the greenbelt and selling the land off to private suburban development companies whose sole priority is extracting as much profit as possible from initial sales. (Opening that land up to private developers was Ford's stated intention and he only backed down after he drew a lot of public outrage at the notion).

> And I'd be super interested to know which 60 services you use.

Apologies, I didn't make this clear enough. The company has 60 employees. How many apps/services do we use? Honestly, I don't know, but it's at least a couple of dozens. Here are some I interact with on a daily basis, with support for collaboration: Slack, Dropbox Paper, Google Docs/Sheets/Diagrams/Forms, Salesforce, LeanKit, Figma, Jira, Trello, Asana, Zendesk, etc.

I'm not sure I want to sync the data between the apps, it seems the duplication would make things worse! But it's interesting you propose that.
Kudos to you for your actions. Much respect.
It depends on whether you want to show the particular thing being designed (like in this post) or to show the entire process. There is an esthetics issue with showing the whole thing: all of the small undo/redo steps and panning around makes for a jittery experience. Occasionally that looks good, but it is less easy to pull off.
I see this also for Bernie, in odd locations. I've been playing Warcraft 3 reforged lately, and the general chat that shows up on the main menu in-game has been all kinds of people extolling the values of Bernie Sanders.

No, more that they don't want to be seen as 'just' a monopolistic search/advertising company, plus diversification if done successfully can lead to risk reduction.

As a working developer you will spend a sizeable portion of your time learning new things, so if you are not good at teaching yourself programming, maybe it's not a suitable career choice? Especially with amazing MOOCs like Stanford's Swift course?

> Can you elaborate on this?

The countries are predominantly muslim but how does that make it a "muslim ban"? Are muslims still allowed from other countries? Yes. Are Christians from those banned countries allowed either? No. Seems straightforward then that it is not a muslim ban. The list of countries was composed by the Obama administration, not Trump. Trump just made a rational application of it. If there were a European ban, would it be a Christian ban? It would "disproportionately affect" Christians. Seems outlandish to think so. This characterization is ridiculous.

> What Trump policies can be attributed to this?

China trade war tariffs, for example. The China trade deal more broadly. The USMCA. The effort to make the US energy independent and a net exporter. [1]

> earlier this year we were on the brink of war with Iran

This depends on your choice of media and its bias and characterizations. The choice to strategically eliminate a single terrorist general with a missile, rather than wait for the plans he was brewing to bubble, prevented things from escalating and did it with zero casualties. This is an example of, not a counterpoint to, efforts to remove.

> But Mueller is a registered republican?

This seems like a very hollow thing to say. Whether or not the specific investigator is of a certain party is generally meaningless when his appointment is the decision of someone else, and the work on his team was mostly not carried out by him, but his staff. This would be true anyway, but it was clear in his deposition that he was also a mostly ignorant figurehead, unaware of a lot of what was happening. More broadly, I used the mueller investigation as an example of a wide trend, and that Mueller is a republican has nothing to do with that trend, or the statistical makeup of DC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_sensitivity_level

If you order parts from a major distributor (arrow, avnet, digikey, mouser, etc.), everything comes with appropriate humidity indicators where needed. Pretty much anything that is something + plastic around it will be affected to some extent.

I haven't seen things go "popcorn", but broken off edges and cracks across a package... yeah.

Add: that said, moisture from a blowtorch probably won't have such an effect; you need to get it nice and deep into the package and unable to come back out.

Add(2): this is also why ziplock bags make good outer semiconductor packaging. Make sure you properly zip them back up whenever possible.

Add(3): a quick look through my semiconductor stack (SMT ICs, mostly QFN, some SOP, no BGAs) is about 30% MSL3, 45% MSL2 and 25% MSL1 or unmarked.

The Hillary thing is a prime example of how scarily easy it is for large numbers of people to dismiss broad categories of information when a perfectly reasonable wrong (e.g. a wrong statistical forecast) happens to affirmatively coincide with negative feelings in their personal social politics or emotional preconceptions. You see the same thing with doctors especially.
The alternatives are worse. The choices:

1. purchase it with their own money

2. purchase it with money from bribes

3. blackmail party insiders for the nomination and support

Using their own money is the cleanest and most honest way to do things.

I love Decentraleyes but how would they redistribute most web fonts without running afoul of their licenses?
Sorry, but a bit of a pedantic note here: laser printers do not use dry ink. They don't use ink at all; they use "toner". Toner is really nothing more than microscopic particles of colored plastic. The printer uses electrostatic attraction to put the particles on a sheet of paper in a pattern, and then a "fuser" (a small heater) to melt the plastic so that it binds to the paper, without catching the paper on fire. So toner never goes bad because it's really nothing more than dust.

As for your B&W laser, it used to be that color lasers were horribly expensive so only companies had them. These days, color lasers have gotten pretty cheap, and aren't that much more than the B&W lasers. My Brother was about $200 IIRC. Of course, you can get a small B&W for under $100 now, but still, $200-300 is not budget-breaker for anyone in the IT industry. So even if you don't really need color that much, if you're in the market for a printer, I'd advise just spending the extra money and getting the color model, unless you really want your printer to be small (the color models are usually a lot larger, because of the separate toner cartridges).

I would never advise using an inkjet unless you really need to. They're a terrible deal financially; the only thing they're better at is costing less initially, but the consumables are very expensive and don't last long. They do make sense for some high-end high-volume applications, but those use more industrial-sized printers with continuous-flow ink, not small consumer printers with overpriced ink carts. Honestly, consumer inkjets are probably the biggest scam in all of computing history.
