From what I understand if you work at a gas station, you get a phone call and they tell you to change the price on the sign, right?

ZTE apparently paid bonuses to 30+ people even though that were involved in some kind of violation. I bet Wells Fargo well also pay the CEO and the board very handsomely.

>My Nexus 7 has a pop out cover, yet when it fell in a stream of running water, it never even shut down. Opening it revealed only two small drops of water. Plus, battery contacts don't corrode from a short exposition to water (otherwise, so would the headphone plug).

I have a Nexus 7 as well and I have no idea what this pop out cover means. Can you please help me understand? Thanks

Sorry for off topic but it is a difficult topic and goes beyond Wikipedia. I read on hacker news the complaints that many (even peer reviewed) studies are never reproduced because there is no incentive to reproduce/verify someone else's work. Also, I've read that the "sugar lobby" may have been behind previous studies linking eating fatty food with obesity. Given these facts, how do we create guidelines that allow original research?

If one person owns all the land, they (or someone they authorize) can boot anyone unwelcome. This makes life much simpler because you can sidestep a lot of issues and focus on what this really is: a pilot project.

That's scary of that's what is required of a ceo. You would either need to be an oracle and predict where the industry will go or you'd need to make the industry go the direction you're taking the company.

In my opinion, you don't even need Marx for this. Even Jeff Bezos reportedly said "your margin is my opportunity". So if some product is expensive without being scarce, it is probably being "protected" by likely unethical means (like copyright?) or an oligopoly (unions?) that keeps prices artificially high.

Sorry if this missed the mark completely. Would love to learn.

Why can't Linux use gpl v2 or later? Because Linus doesn't want to?

This is interesting. I don't have a routine of what I eat for breakfast. I just improvise every morning (: do people usually eat the same thing every morning?

We could still work from home and have time where we meet our coworkers? I read somewhere that gitlab is trying out something like this. I'd love to learn wrist they conclude from this experience.

Don't forget the English who recently promised Scotland so many things before the referendum and conveniently forgot them once they eeked out a narrow victory. Democracy isn't just about going out to vote. Easy to say but I feel like a hypocrite as well.

I'm OK being "instantly" terminated as long as you pay me for the duration of the notice period.

Or sugar because apparently we don't need fructose in our diet at all.

Sorry but nobody is for small government. Nobody is for a balanced budget. It is a farce.

We all have two piles: a. Things we want the government to do b. Things we don't

If you're for a balanced budget, you'll oppose current tax cut plans and demand government cut spending. The problem is of course where do we cut spending? Find me a dollar of "waste" and I'll show you someone who benefits from it. Can we please stop pretending?

I was one of the people who went ape over uac. It wasn't that uac showed up too much. It is that the devices were not capable of it. I think I've been vindicated by the subsequent lawsuit which revealed the vista capable vs vista ready fiasco. I mean literally the screen would go blank and there'd be no indication for up to about three minutes when a uac came on an hp Compaq laptop...

Think about it this way. I've never seen anyone complain about full disk encryption on an iPhone 6 or later. Do the same on a Windows machine with 5400 rpm spinning rust...

I still have great respect for the Simpsons. I think future American TV history will have a special place for the Simpsons.

I think the point is that most of us believe we are better than average at salary negotiation and that is not true. I won't hide my bias. I abhor wall street journal and articles like these don't do any favors. However, articles like these are horrible even if it showed up on my New York times. If the WSJ thinks salary disclosure is harmful, will they also advocate that public employee's salary should be confidential as well? What a bunch of bullocks.

I think someone mentioned that politicians in India enjoy wide freedoms due to generous libel laws as well.

> The article suggests investors think of them as an intel, not an apple.

So like Intel in the sense that they are a chip fabrication/mass manufacturing company that happens to design chips? Or the new Intel that wants to "add more value" with things like face detection in Windows hello?

No, push back against insane requirements. Why do we want to style input? Bill them for a custom solution if they want a custom solution.

With fedora and gnome, I don't even dnf upgrade anymore. When I turn of the computer, I just check "install updates" which is unchecked by default. This is how updates should work.

I couldn't do bumpy and jupyter notebook Even though there are tutorials online.

$50? Nice find. I have come in possession of a t42 with a cracked display. I've set it up so I can ssh into it but it seems not worth the hassle because 1GB RAM and core2duo (afaik) processor. What is your setup and use case if you don't mind sharing.

Thank you. This should be the link in the title. Better still, we should reassess https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13434938 and ban direct links to pay walled sites.

I remember listening to the book on BBC on a program called off the shelf. Such a great book.

What prevents Google from offering Python3 support in standard environment? Is this a business decision?

> We're a nation of laws, not pitchforks.

We are a nation of what we choose to be laws and right now it feels like we are a nation where there's no responsibility for the people at the top. Plausible deniability has gone too far. As with everything in life, we need to seek balance and the balance is making sure the board and the CEO have an incentive to ensure the organization isn't systemically violating the spirit of the law.

We are a nation of laws but laws aren't something we got from the mountaintop. We need to tweak things sometimes.

While fines can help ethical people make the case that they should do the right thing, I am afraid it isn't enough.

What I'm talking about isn't the actual data leak but rather what equifax did or did not do before and after the leak. That is the real crime here. I don't see the CEO and the board facing prison which means we need to change something.

The only good solution is life in prison for the CEO and the board. Fines will not work. We need to fix incentives at the top.

Not an expert by any means but to me the biggest change is no more Python 2.

> Django 2.0 supports Python 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. We highly recommend and only officially support the latest release of each series.

People should not write new code in Python 2 at all. If you're learning Python today, I'd say pretend Python 2 doesn't exist. Use python3-venv and renounce the baggage of the past.
