Syncdocs https://syncdocs.com does proper symlink handling for Google Drive

What haven't these banks rigged. It is not limited to the US. In the UK Barclays Bank have rigged LIBOR and in Australia the biggest banks ANZ, NAB and Wespac also rigged the bank swap rate.

What this means is that we all pay higher interest rates on our loans, and the bankers get a tiny fine.

Real estate bubbles rarely burst unless there is accompanying unemployment. The reason is psychological, people hate realizing a loss.

Another practical reason is that if borrow $1 million for a house, and it is now worth $800,000 you just keep paying off the mortgage and hope prices go up again. Selling it would require you pay in some cash to pay off the loan. All this is provided you keep you job and can afford the loan.

Reminds me of SoftRAM, which was rated 3rd "Worst Tech Product of All Time" by PC World. It also claimed to compress memory but actually didn't do that much.

It is an interesting story, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoftRAM

You'll need to add RF amplifiers on the transmit and receive paths along with antennas to make this work off the lab bench.

For basic websites, Google Docs and its WYSIWYG interface is good for many people. Tools like Syncdocs https://www.syncdocs.com lets you create websites in Word and publish via Google Drive. In this market segment, people probably only want to publish simple websites, and the simplicity of Word/Docs is what they want, compared to Wordpress, which needs maintenance and has a learning curve.

I suspect WhatsApp not encrypting the backups was likely not a technical issue primarily, but a business one. Google gives free storage and can read all your chats on Drive to target advertising. Whatsapp gets free storage.

If you want to protect Google Drive properly, use an "at-rest' encryptor like VeraCrypt[0] or Syncdocs[1]

Gremlins were not "luck charms of many British pilots during World War II" as Darpa states. They were bad luck demons that could kill pilots.

"Gremlins were said to engage in such a myriad of bad behavior as sucking the gas out of tanks through hoses, jamming radio frequencies, mucking up landing gear, blowing dust or sand into fuel pipes or sensitive electrical equipment, cutting wires, removing bolts or screws, tinkering with dials, knobs or switches, jostling controls, slashing wings or tires, poking or pinching gunners or pilots, banging incessantly on the fuselage, breaking windows, and a wide variety of other prankish acts. "

Syncdocs [0] is also pretty good for merging and tracking changes between Word and Google Docs. It also has a feature with real-time collaboration between Google Docs and Word.

Former Origin Energy executive and whistleblower Fiona Wilson was detained by the new Queensland Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (QFTAC) and injected against her will and without any charges laid against her. Fiona has since been released but must report for her monthly injections otherwise she will be detained again.

>Yes. Unemployment is very low. Actually it is not that low, especially out of the tech sector.

Real unemployment and under-employment are high because of the way unemployment is now measured. The definition of being unemployed has changed since the GFC to manipulate the statistics.

Some tricks to manipulate the numbers are:

- If you have been unemployed for more than 6 months you are no longer classified as unemployed.

- Work for one hour a month, say mow your neighbor's lawn or give someone a paid ride in your car and you are no longer unemployed.

- Give up an stop looking for work, and you're no longer unemployed.

This looks very useful! We've been using Syncdocs [0] to sync multiple accounts concurrently to Google Drive.

Syncdocs does end-to-end encryption. Would it be possible to put in a PGP layer that automatically encrypts into your solution?

Thanks, that is a great link. Here's his summary:

"The facts are clear. Chuck Yeager proved incapable of doing the job. He was totally outside his element. He was a natural pilot who had learned by experience and feel, but never really understood stability, just ‘sensed’ how airplanes would act, but aerodynamics and space dynamics are night and day. If he was to fail, I expected it to be outside the aerodynamics region.

But not even that can excuse his accident, which was his fault, alone and was an error of bad pilot technique during normal, aerodynamic flight. His shortcoming was inability to gain and maintain the 70 degree climb angle. That required strict and delicate airplane control. No more and no less."

Yes, for tech readers, The Right Stuff will be disappointing, it covers how people feel and the politics, not much about the technical side of the Mercury or X-1, X-2 or x-15 programs.

It is a brilliant book, especially his description of what he thought those poor chimpanzee astronauts were thinking and feeling.

There are a few options for improved Google Drive clients. We use Syncdocs https://syncdocs.com as it has end-to-end encryption. None of these clients are free, though, so perhaps you get what you pay for.

Indeed. Whether you use OO or state machines depends on the architecture of your problem. There is unlikely to be a one-size fits all solution to every class of problem.

State machines are used extensively by HDL hardware design tools, and are easier to debug.

Depends on your operating system. If you are using Windows, Syncdocs is pretty reliable at backing up to Google Drive.

Smaller teams have easier communication.

In computer science there is something called "Amdahl's law"[1] which shows how processing throughput slows as you add more CPU's mostly due to communications overhead. I suspect that large teams with low productivity are influenced by a similar effect. The great book, "The mythical man month" touched on this.

There are probably other human-related causes (like freeloaders and legal issues) too.

Its a Rupert Murdoch owned paper, designed to get clicks from clickbait.

There can be a few pitfalls here. Assuming that the dark field image of the Apple camera is actually random noise and not some property of the sensor that can vary between images.

Getting the distribution of the randomness can be hard.

When are you going to support end-to-end encryption for consumer apps? We use Syncdocs https://syncdocs.com to encrypt Google Drive, but it would be better to use an entirely Google soultion.

The company in question GEMSA Pty Ltd of Australia got a patent on "Storage cabinets" on a computer. Pretty much a patent on folders or directories. Now they are suing everyone.

According to the EFF: "As far as we can tell, GEMSA seems to think that anyone with a website that links to hosted content infringes its patent"

Australia has some of the most draconian anti-libel laws in the English-speaking world.

A judge recently sent a blogger to jail for 4 months for "libel" even though the truth of the matter was not disputed.

A book on Chinese bribing of Australian politicians has been withdrawn after defamation threats from these politicians.

This was largely unreported in the Australian press, only in the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/20/world/australia/china-aus...

The UK as well, as Bombardier has a big plant in Northern Ireland in the constituency of the small party that the ruling UK party needs to keep its majority.

This plant employs 4,500 people.

The Economist has a good overview of this fight:

Because the i7 in your notebook is not really an i7, Intel just calls it that. It is a marketing term.

Your desktop i5 is a real quad core, and can run faster and has bigger caches. Unless you have the -HQ i7 series you are limited to two cores (+2 virtual hyper threaded ones).

That's globalization for you.

Apple's software is based on open source BSD. They sub-contract the building of their phones to China, and they are made mostly with Korean chips and displays.

Apple can import cheap indentured workers from overseas on H1B visas.

They avoid US tax by pushing their profits through Ireland.

Kodak was a far more progressive company that invested in their employees. Apple is now the world's biggest company, Kodak is dead.

Also Bohm was unpopular with the US government in the early 1950's - he had to leave for Brazil because of McCarthyism and anti-communist feeling.

Dare I say, but people should be employed for their abilities not their gender, race or value to some checklist.

Those who develop greater abilities through study should find greater opportunities in work, regardless of their gender, race, sexual orientation or negative score on some diversity checklist.

The odd issue is why the vibration continue after he shut down the engine?

Was it an avionics issue instead? Two previous issues[1] have occurred in the same airspace (near Learmonth) with similar Airbus aircraft from Qantas.

"The incident again fueled media speculation regarding the significance of the Harold E. Holt facility, with the Australian and International Pilots Association calling for commercial aircraft to be barred from the area as a precaution until the events are better understood, while the manager of the facility has claimed that it is "highly, highly unlikely" that any interference has been caused."
