Percent of volume says nothing about the line level, which is hardware specific. Since audio jacks were invented before we had industry standards bodies, there is no specification that hardware manufacturers have to meet. Many provide around 1Vpp, or -10dbV, at max volume, but it's going to vary from device to device. The impedance of the headphones are going to affect the SPL as well, and none of it is likely calibrated to any high degree of certainty unless you're buying professional equipment.
That's a good point. It's one thing to offer "unlimited data" for a fixed price - which is about ideal for a consumer, but that doesn't exist anymore. What you get is a fixed amount of data for a fixed price. But the provider has an incentive to make you use as little as possible, to increase its profits. But if instead you get the data returned to you, or you pay a reasonable amount by the MB, then the provider has an incentive to make you use as much data as possible. That could mean giving you a much faster service for example.
Given that you only pay for the data you use, data sharing is not needed
Research Survey regarding MOOCs
It's frustrating because Google Apps has been the solution for bring-your-own-domain email, and many people use it as such. If I could use my own domain on a consumer Gmail account, I would.

Google acts like it's just for enterprise customers, but that's not how a whole lot of people use it.
Compared to what I can get from Verizon (US), the international usage is amazing:

> Pay one rate for data around the world

> In 120+ countries, data usage costs the same $10 per GB as it does in the US (data speed is limited to 256kbps/3G). Check email, get directions, and keep in touch with friends and family when on your trip. Also, call around the world for 20c per minute and send unlimited international texts.
That's actually a much more logical explanation than I've heard before, but it seems to be based on a potential misunderstanding of who is using the service -- maybe it is mostly giant companies, but I bet there are a lot of tinkerers who just like having the custom email domain.
Singapore is a one party state with a terrible human rights record. If anyone criticized the government, they would be thrown in prison and/or fined.
I can't easily think of an industry that the internet or computing hasn't yet touched. Makes sense that the company who made a name for themselves making sense out of data would do very well in a data-driven world and have plenty of places to go.

Not that I'm convinced it's always for the best. Throw all that control into somebody's hands and even if they think they're doing what's best, they might make mistakes with far-reaching consequences.
It's sad that in the US, train connections between major living centers isn't even a federal priority. Granted, the US is VERY large and we're talking about much larger investments than in Japan, but our economy is a crapton bigger as well.

Complaining in public and having insiders dismiss it for bad reasons probably serves his agenda better than getting it fixed.

But if we were talking about the colour of the BBC logo, would you correct Americans who say "color"?

Honest question. I'm a non-native speaker, but my understanding has been that you only keep the original spelling for proper names and terms of the trade (i.e. anything you wouldn't translate if it was non-English, like "Grand Prix" in sports or "vert" in heraldry).

- Individual products like AdRoll and Perfect Audience let you track users and show them ads. Ever been to a site and had their ads pop up everywhere afterwards? Ever looked at a product then gotten ads for _just that product_? Yeah, that.

- Google lets you track conversions based on a ton of information. What Google ads users viewed, sure, but also referring site, region, demographic info. Hell, it'll tell you which pages you visited before buying. Everything but the search term you used ... unless the referrer was AdWords.

- Emails all send you unique links, which allow you to do conversion tracking. Hell, you can even embed retargeting pixels in emails, so when you open a company's email, they can serve you ads based on that knowledge.

Every possible way that tech can track you, companies are tracking and advertising with. I get that it's kind of scary, but it's not just Facebook, and a lot of it is the digital equivalent of reading body language on people in your store.

So, yeah, run an ad blocker. But not just for Facebook.

This sounds incredible. Roaming cellular transmission costs are enormous. It's routine to pay several dollars per minute for voice and per megabyte for data. If the data roaming is really no-strings attached, this is a must-buy for me (if it ever becomes available in the UK).
Also, notice that they're not charging extra for tethering, or care how many devices you tether to. As far as they're concerned, data is data because you're paying for it.
Probably, but at this point social expectations start to shift towards legitimizing their cause. I do skip paywall from time to time - but only on articles someone shared with me, and I don't feel good about it. In other cases, I just go somewhere else (I might buy subscription if I really care about that particular publisher/content).
This is just another manifestation of software eating the world. What makes Google competitive in any industry? Its talent in software.
The price is a little disappointing. I expected Google to compete on price as well, but it may not even be its fault if its partners don't want to undercut it on prices, and they just allow Google to compete on services.
Whoa, their international rates are crazy good. Same $10/gb across 120 countries.

Even limited to 256k/3G, that is still insane. Coverage list here:

The alternative is that many of the startups don't learn this in their own time, and they go on to become bigger, more successful companies who can set the tone and shift the market. Of course, if they're actually able to succeed by doing so, then that says something too. Although the trend of many data breaches certainly wouldn't decline in that case.

This is sweet. My brother and I were thinking about wild ideas like this. We couldn't be more happy to see someone as awesome as google doing this.
Without unlimited data, this is useless to me. If T-Mobile and Sprint can pull off unlimited data plans, then so should Google (especially if Google Fi uses - you guessed it - both Sprint and T-Mobile as its partner carriers). The least they can do is offer a "you get so-and-so gigabytes of 4G data before we throttle you down to 2G, and we won't charge you anything extra" like what T-Mobile does for its non-unlimited plans.
Exactly. People are fine with paying, as long as the distinction between an unconditional gift and a business transaction is being kept.
There's a more likely outcome -- Chrome will simply remove plugin capability if the adblocker install base gets too large.

Mobile Chrome already doesn't allow plugins, and this is definitely a huge part of the reason why.
FWIW, T-Mobile in the US already has the exact same offering [1]. Their plan has free texts and 2g data in 120+ countries. Calls cost 20 cents per minute.

Use the simplest tool possible. Fail2ban relies on log parsing, which is a possible attack vector.

The thing is that you can reach pretty much the same effect with a smaller attack service and better efficiency using rate limiting in your packet filter.

E.g. in iptables the 'recent' module can do this, see man man iptables-extensions and search for 'recent'. E.g. you can set up a rule that any IP address making more than 5 connection attempts to port 22 in one minute gets put on a list that is DROPped.

Edit: BTW, if you think the fail2ban attack vector is purely theoretical, you might want to check the CVEs:

I guess he was thinking outside the box... boom, boom. I thank you :-)
It's easy enough to download a given/checked version of the script at http://foo.com/ubuntu/install and have that copied and run inside your docker image... for that matter, it's usually adding a given repository to your repo manager, then installing a given package from that software's corporate sponsors.

I don't think the problem is as rampant as it's made out to be in TFA... that said, most people don't look at said script(s), so it's entirely possible something could have been slipped in. For that matter, I think the issues outlined in the article relate more to overly complicated Java solutions (the same happens in the .Net space) that are the result of throwing dozens of developers some with more or less experience than others at a project, and letting a lot of code that isn't very well integrated slide through whatever review process does or doesn't exist.
Two observations:

1) Terrible name, really awful. Fi? I guess if it's "project" maybe this wasn't public-brand ready?

2) Why wouldn't someone choose the t-mobile unlimited plan vs this one?

3) For the refund policy, why wouldn't everyone sign up for the lowest plan? The presentation is confusing, just say 1gb min and $10 for each gig after that.
An empty List would have to be a List first. So an Instance. But at that point you'd be facing a significant challenge to ensure it's both Immutable and still a List (or Array, whatever).

But your definition of "expressive" is (IMO) backwards. Because the first example only actually expresses a label that only has meaning because you give it. It doesn't tell you if the method prints to STDOUT, concats a String, adds an Int, adds a Float to a Decimal (and how that would be achieved), etc.

All that, and Ruby is (IME) more verbose than Scala (and I suspect Elixir, Erlang, Clojure, etc) for any real non-trivial example.

I'm in the UK and by and large we have reasonable policing (by the standards of many countries we have excellent policing).

That said, I have absolutely no deference to the police here either, it's a public sector job the same as any other staffed by people largely no better or worse than any other industry with the crucial difference they are sworn to uphold the law and have powers granted to them to that end.

They deserve the exact same respect as any other member of our society, we largely don't go in for all the "men in blue" stuff either - they weren't conscripted they chose to join as rational thinking adults.
I'm surprised that Spectrum is using "boffin" in their headline. IEEE is American, and "boffin" is rarely used in American English --- although it seems like it's been gradually increasing in popularity over the last few years. What exactly does "boffin" connote, and why is IEEE using it here?

I've never liked the word, but maybe (as an American) I don't understand the connotation correctly. I group it with "nerd" and "geek", which are originally negative slang that have been more recently adopted with pride by their targets. But I don't expect that Spectrum would run a headline quoting "Google's Geek" or "Nokia's Nerd".
> It's one thing to offer "unlimited data" for a fixed price - which is about ideal for a consumer, but that doesn't exist anymore.

Yes it does; both Sprint and T-Mobile offer it (alongside their respective non-unlimited plans). The fact that Google Fi doesn't despite using those two carriers as its "partners" is incredibly disappointing.

(a, log1) >>= f = let (b, log2) = f a in
(b, log1 ++ log2).

I think this is offering 3g rather than 2g, but I wasn't aware of that, thanks!

It seems like UK carriers are lagging behind rather badly in this regard.
Unfortunately they haven't launched family plans yet, so I would be paying more than I do with T-mobile for virtually the same plan (in addition to Sprint coverage, which isn't all that useful in my area). Hopefully it comes soon.
It appears this was finally changed mid-March, but after initial release in December image signing initially worked as follows:

Docker’s report that a downloaded image is “verified” is based solely on the presence of a signed manifest, and Docker never verifies the image checksum from the manifest. An attacker could provide any image alongside a signed manifest.

Yes. See also Google Fiber. AT&T and Comcast are both scrambling to launch ahead of Google in my area.
In my experience, video chat through Google hangout uses about 1G/hour. $10/G translates to $10/hour. This is a significant cost for a remote worker using video chat as a routine meeting venue.
Yes, but 2g data is barely if at all usable.
I haven't really heard much buzz about C11 since its release. I don't mean to sound snarky (I'm really curious): does anyone really use C11 at all?
Yeah, I kind of suspected that this was going to involve a monad :-) And the Writer monad looks like the right one for the job.

But doesn't using that involve making the rest of the code (at least from the function that needs to log out to the top level) return monads, rather than returning whatever they were returning before?
It seems like the GCC guys have really kicked it up a notch. I think LLVM has inspired them to move it or loose it. At this rate they can expect to still be a relevent compiler system for a very long time.
They are not really competing in all of those industries, they might have a crazy project they are attempting, but they aren't really competition.

Auto industry? I'm assuming you mean self driving cars, which, at this point, are still in the concept phase.

Despite its impact on our lives it's important to remember that tech makes up just one segment of our massive economy. I have yet to see Google get into Aluminum smelting, residential construction or toothbrush manufacturing.
Agreed, currently with Republic Wireless, same model (kind of wondering if they had talks with RW at all). I have the unlimited 3G for $25 total and it has served me well thus far. Happy with the service and saved quite a bit after moving away from Verizon.

$650 is a steep buy in for the phone, but I expect they will on board cheaper phones as this takes off. RW is still more cost effective over all at this point, although the data service will probably be better with Fi's two networks (RW runs on the sprint network when not around wifi)
$47.04 per month ( plus taxes and fees ) for 2 years, assuming you don't already have their phone. Not bad.
I think customers would be pissed about never knowing when data will suddenly surge in price, even if you warn them. It would also kill the user experience. And stuff like background updates and push messages would be a pain.

I'm sure the usage pattern is steady enough to make a pretty good model.
There's a lot of good advice already in this thread, and I'd rather not just repeat it all in new phrasing. So, read it and weigh it and take what you like.

It would be hard to think of a less likely candidate for concealing something. In other words, everything else in the luggage should be examined before skis.
