With B, it doesn't need to fit into the old case size. You'd get a new case with new watch internals, the old one would be melted down, for an upgrade fee.
Thanks for the link (41 yr old site creator).

I only recently got interested in mechanical watches. It's fun to have a mechanical marvel on my wrist for those times when I don't want to reach into my pocket to tell the time using an electronic marvel.

I'm not sure if I'd ever get a smart watch. Perhaps. I actually feel kind of attached to my automatic. If I stop wearing it for more than two days it will stop running. That just seems cruel to the little guy.

Sorry, linked within the article. Reuters.
Generic companies play the same game. Attack the branded drug makers patents and then settle out of court. It's just how the generic industry works, it all comes down to patents.

I remember a quote from the CEO of Apotex (one of the biggest generic manufacturers in the world). The CEO said "I don't care about scientists, I just need the best lawyers).

Or it's a really easy ship to steer, and racial makeup is a symptom/result of preferences, planning, legislation, and enforcement.

>Spending a year in prison awaiting trial, sorry your right to a speedy trial ends well before your actual trial.

...Can you point me in the direction of these abuses? I was under the impression that most defendants usually declined the speedy trial option. I'd be interested to learn more.
You run a staging environment to mirror production [with fewer nodes per PoP] and throw things at it.

The only real difference is the load on staging would be generated artificially [e.g. ACH, credit card processing] using faked staging-only accounts. You even have a fake banking website for security audits that is a clone of production with the fake accounts.

No risk to production and probably 80% of the benefits. Of course its probably 125% of the effort.
Could we get a more accurate headline please? At least s/attack/dump/ ? There was no attack reported.

I wouldn't characterize it as such. The reality is, we are pretty effin lucky the Web turned out the way it did. It does it what it does very well. I mean we have an open platform that every major tech company is on-board with, that isn't controlled, wholly, by any single one of them, a platform that works on almost every capable device out there. Those same companies cannot agree on anything else and are openly hostile to each other in every other space, except this one. It could have been worse. And future versions of JavaScript are looking pretty good too!

I'd prefer that HTML/CSS was better designed for building web-applications (right now it's a Frankenstein that doesn't know whether it wants to be a UI toolkit or markup for text). I'd prefer a language like Dart or Python to power web-pages, instead of JavaScript. But oh well.

>The ultimate goal is to deliver functionality to users. Users don't give a damn what the platform is.

And that's part of the reason why JavaScript sticks around. Users don't care, and you can get far with JavaScript.
Can't we all just switch to a functional paradigm?

Software Engineer/ Mobile Developer
About You

We’re looking for someone who gets excited by the idea of creating a product that re-invents a technology. If you think developing code for and with your coworkers to create ground-breaking advancements is just as attractive as weekly soccer matches- let’s talk.

Company Description
At Maluuba, we're developing revolutionary search technology at the forefront of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) movement. No more keyword search for blue links; speak naturally and get exact results. We solve new problems every day in a fun, fast-paced environment.

Our kitchen is fully supplied with lots of food and drinks; we provide daily lunch, dinner and snacks for all employees. We even have weekly Maluuba soccer games and bi-weekly movie nights. Recently, we have gone camping at Algonquin Park, Wonderland, the beach and a blue jays game to name a few things. Join us and help invent the future.

Skills & Requirements

About the position
At Maluuba, you’d be working to develop cool futuristic prototypes. Such devices include mobile phones (our apps are in the Google Play Store and Windows Store), watches, glasses, infotainment systems, and more. A watch can do so much more than tell time, seeing glasses can act as a voice enabled heads up display, the sky is the limit.

Our ideal candidate has experience with one or more of the following: android development, working with APIs, cloud-based systems, and hardware hacking. You should be prepared to design systems and write and test code that is ready to be shipped to millions of users.

Qualifications:
•	BA/ BS Degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
•	Required: Java. Nice to have: Python/Ruby/SQL
•	Android development experience.
•	Experience with distributed/large-scale/cloud/big-data systems
•	Knowledge of low latency/high volume APIs

Apply now: vikas.gosain@maluuba.com
Banks are conservative, too. Which is generally good, but that in itself is part of the reason why the process is slow, in addition to genuine concerns about security and reliability.

In some ways security isn’t such a big deal for financial transactions, because they can be undone. Checks are very insecure. ACH is insecure because you can take money out of anyone’s account with the information at the bottom of the check, but ACH transactions can be reversed for at least 45 days after they are made.

You also have to ask “how much?” How long is it reasonable to wait for change? The system for same day ACH has existed for years. Very few banks have opted in. Should the Fed set a deadline and say, everyone has to be on it by 2020? (It’s the nature of such deadlines that they are be extended, but something will eventually happen.)
The Eurpoean method only works in a single-payer system. A single-payer system effectively has price controls. At the very least the EU system is not designed to maximize profit; it's designed to maximize the benefit to the people given a fixed budget.

The biggest problem with the US' system is that consumers have to pay out of pocket for life and death decisions. How much would you pay to not die? Probably a lot; which is exactly why the US system is broken. You can't make rational market-based decisions when your health / quality of life is at stake. The value calculation is skewed, and everyone ends up paying more as a result.
That's actually primarily for phones. For tablets you're supposed to use sw<x>dp. So, add sw600dp and sw720dp to your list. Now we're talking about 8 logical resolutions to support. And the bigger issue, as another person pointed out, is the fact that a _lot_ of the new APIs aren't backported. So you end up having to target the lowest common denominator API version, which is almost certainly two years old.

Contrast that with iOS. The latest version adoption rates are something absurd like 90% within the first month. You can actually take advantage of those spiffy new APIs without having to worry about limiting your audience. The limited set of resolutions is icing on the cake... far less to worry about.

You can get Servers Ultimate and just set your phone up as an FTP server or some other file transfer server.

Droid NAS also works brilliantly on Android devices and Macs. On Macs they'll just show up on your local network as a network drive you can drag and drop files to in finder. You just need to have your phone on the same wifi as your computer.

Outside of that dropbox works fairly well, even if you have to pull the files down from the phone once they're in your dropbox.
I agree with you.

Isn't arbitrage where a third party buys a product in one place and sells it in another, pocketing the difference? Here, we have a company just buying up competitors to stifle competition. Arbitrage would be buying the drug where it's available at $1.50 and then selling it at $30 where the $1.50 price can't be obtained. Such opportunities are generally fleeting, because the very action of arbitrage pushes the prices towards equality.

This is also not really an example of free market capitalism, unless you take an extremely laissez-faire definition of it. This is a monopoly, with a captive audience and government regulations providing a barrier to new competitors. In true free market capitalism, this would never happen because if the original company could make a profit at $1.50, then the new company's $30 price would be immediately undercut by other companies who see that they can make a profit at, say, $20, and the price will naturally fall back to something around the costs of production. Of course, you'd also probably get a lot of companies undercutting it even further by selling dangerous products, thus why these regulations are there in the first place.
I believe that there's many many more jobs at risk but it doesn't need to be a bad thing. Once a robot can accept orders and cook a burger as well as a McDonalds employee, won't we lose them too? Many many jobs will be automated.

As a society we need to find a way to handle this so that people out of work have their needs met and aren't just left to starve but I'm not sure we can expect to keep employment so high.
Black Americans are also largely of European descent, so why not call everyone white?

zfs can grow - new vdevs can be added, and existing vdevs can have their disks replaced one at a time with larger disks.

A bigger downside of ZFS, IMO, is lack of defragmentation and similar larger scale pool management. If you ever push a ZFS pool close to its space limit, you can end up with fragmentation that never really goes away, even if you delete lots of files. The recommended solution is to recreate the pool and restore from backup, or create a new pool and stream a snapshot across with zfs send | zfs receive. Not terribly practical for most home users.

I guess I am curious about how this functionality is viewed more generally / philosophically and what state is considered to be in. I wonder whether it is perceived to be good enough for production use, and whether it's expected to work as smoothly as it does under Illumos.

In my case I encountered situations where valid configurations from OI weren't supported in ZoL, but I remember coming to the conclusion that these limitations were already known and addressing them simply wasn't a priority at that time. Since this was some months ago the situation very may well have changed already!
>> For most people now, smartphones are largely interchangeable.

This. I could be called an Apple Fanboy, and I myself stopped using iPhones in favor of an Android phone (I really wanted a Windows phone, but my carrier didn't have any available when I upgraded).

After a little bit of self-analysis, I realized that from iOS' gigantic app ecosystem, most of the stuff I was buying and installing was throwaway stuff. Most of my activities revolve around the core apps of the phone - e-mail, calendar, browser. My main non-core apps are basically RSS and Read Later apps.

Given that most of my stuff is in the cloud (but not the iCloud), it really doesn't matter what OS I have on my phone. And I'm not very interested in buying the latest and greatest when nothing I do really needs the horsepower. So I basically bought the cheapest phone that could do what I need it to (1st gen moto G). I don't worry about it getting stolen or broken, because my investment is so small.

In the end, the thing that really drove me away from iOS was how each software upgrade gradually crippled the usability of the device. I didn't mind paying the Apple premium for my 3G and 4, but that was because Android and WP didn't have parity (my opinion, not necessarily fact). Today, however, it's a completely different story. I'm sure I could be quite happy with any of the top 4 mobile OSes.

Most of the stories about this list have pointed out that it doesn't necessarily contain passwords from Gmail, but from various accounts that used a Gmail address as a username.

Someone on Slashdot searched for "+" suffixes in the list, as in username+suffix@gmail.com:

Some of the most popular suffixes were xtube, daz (and daz3d), filedropper, and eharmony. The two characters returned by isleaked.com for my address could indeed have been from daz3d.com.
I agree with your comment about how the EU system works. It's a fixed budget and the gov't tries to maximize health outcomes.

I would disagree that the problem with the US system is that consumers pay out of pocket. Singapore has a system of forced savings for healthcare expenses and they have a much lower cost per person for healthcare.
Probably when we were kids our devices weren't connected to a low latency world wide network. I did have access to a BBS but the funny thing was that most of them were single line, if I didn't get off the phone, I couldn't get a response to a message I sent.

I know my mental productivity was much higher with an air-gapped computer. Once the network leaks onto every device, we start blovating on forum boards instead of thinking deeply. ;)

Its a tough problem, the "real" physical solution is bad the other direction.

If I zoom out to see the whole contiguous 48 states, each pixel on my screen is about 10 square kilometers. Consider filling the screen with that 10 square kilometers. For say, San Francisco, that gives me 13000 people to place in something like a million pixels of white. That is a nice density for a dot map, but my screen is mostly white. If we want to keep the color density, when we zoom out to see the country, even San Francisco is going to be a mostly white pixel.

With continuous smooth zoom you could smoothly change the size of the person dot from a 1/10th of a pixel to one pixel and probably come up with a nice effect, but you'd need to be rendering at 30fps or so to be smooth and this web site doesn't seem to be built for that.

Be careful about turning this data from a dating site into another form of craniology. What biases people utilise for sexual and/or life-partner preferences cannot and should not be interchanged with biases exhibited in interviews or the examples given. I'm sure there is overlap but one thing his data shows is that the sway of sexual preference is volatile enough over short spans of time that a huge margin of error should be assumed for any other forms of generalisation. Your time would be better spent figuring out what hollywood star of what race popularity peaked to create a sway in volatility, than to take this data too seriously. Anyway, the guy has to sell books i guess.

This isn't arbitrage (there's only one market in play). It's just a straightforward instance of an Econ 101 monopoly: if a good has inelastic demand with a single seller, the seller can make more money by raising the price above its equilibrium value.

And monopolies are not economically efficient: they impose a deadweight loss. Say the drug costs $1 per pill to manufacture. There are people who would like to buy it at $20 per pill, but not any higher. This transaction is profitable, but will not take place because the price has been artificially set at $30. That's the inefficiency.
