I think you proved his point. ;) He's talking about the Mozilla browser, the precursor to Firefox. (Well actually, Firefox was named Phoenix before it became Firefox.)

One could say that the more important question is: Why are there armed persons at the location in question?

If the police had not been there at all, or had been issued a standard warrant, the the "who shot first" issue is not a question that needs to be asked.

I'm curious, what are some good examples of companies/industries that are successful in not price discriminating across national/world-region borders?

Most of markets segments I can think of (pharmaceutical, automotive, SAAS) do it in one way (direct price discrimination) or another (separate products for a region).

There are XP patches. I wonder if that CVE page is autogenerated and doesn't include out-of-support operating systems.

Being accessible to the G Suite administrator is understandable, but this is saying that anyone with an account on the school's G Suite plan could see the passwords for any other user.

This has to be something where the admins changed some default setting to change the default security on everything in G Suite, so that all other school accounts could have access to it.

Maybe someone intended to set it up so that all google sheets and docs were shared among everyone on the plan, but didn't realize the change they made applied to other things that got synced to G Suite, like Chrome sync passwords?

I guess you are getting down voted here because your question is off topic from the article. Try posting your question to travel.stackexchange.com. I've seen a number of these types of questions on there and there are some knowledgeable people that will answer you there.

I'm betting it's inventory turnover (e.g. busier stores). It sounds like they were have problems with the inventory management component of SAP keeping up with the rate and volume of transaction that they were putting through it.

I'm assuming Netflix's core KPI would be net subscriber count, and everything that Netflix does, in some form, would be driven by that.

Going further, I'm guessing that there are (or will be) some shows that show highly rated but producing more seasons would not draw in new subscribers or decrease retention rate. It might be that there are shows where their data shows that a large percentage of the fans of that show are unlikely to cancel their subscription, in the case that new season is not produced, and that a new season will not be the kind-of thing that will create new subscribers.

If wonder if Science Fiction might be a genre where the fans are unlikely to cancel their Netflix subscription, but a multi-season run in also unlikely to appeal to people that don't already subscribe to Netflix.

A lot of DDOS attacks use UDP-based amplification techniques. I know DNS and NTP were frequently used and could get amplification factors of up to 500x. This year there have been some amplification attacked using Memcache that could get 50,000x amplification.

Newsblur kind-of has this. You can "Share to your Blurblog," but I don't see a way to have multiple Blurblogs.

You can also tag stories and each tag can have a RSS feed that others to subscribe to, but I don't think there is a web page to send people to for your taggged stories.

From the article:

> The Nexus 6P and 5X launched with an update policy of two years for major OS updates and three years for security updates

I think he tried a few, but the one that I remember him saying that he liked the most was Plurk.

This page shows the UI, at the time, pretty well: https://readwrite.com/2008/06/04/plurk_unique_or_just_anothe...

For data frame implementations, you can also look at Spark's Dataset/DataFrame and Graphlab Create's SFrame.

The company/team behind Graphlab Create was bought by Apple and the open sourced components haven't been updated since then. Because of that, I wouldn't use it in production, but if you are just looking for functioning implementations to compare, that gives you one more.

I wonder if the small business market is just not that profitable. In that space you are typically dealing with companies and people that are extremely price sensitive. (This is just a educated guess here, but I would be willing to bet that small business customers "cost" more in support costs, too.)

Something like Access is, pretty strictly, a small business play. When you move into the "medium" part of SMB, they are probably going to have complex enough needs that Access isn't going to cut it.

I'm guessing that you can make the small business market work, when it's an add-on to the medium-sized business market, but that it doesn't really work well by itself, at least as far as technology companies go.

Can anyone think of any technology companies that have done well, while focusing on just small businesses as customers?

The ACLU, using from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, says that "for-profit companies were responsible for approximately 7 percent of state prisoners and 18 percent of federal prisoners in 2015"

I don't think that count's as "highly" privatized. I personally think the incentives involved in the private prison system present major ethical issues, but I think we need to look at the incentives involved with the our legal system and governmental prisons, also.

That's the part that drives me crazy about this situation here. I don't see any reasonable defense for involuntarily bumping a paying customer for an employee.

Especially in this specific situation! It's a five-hour drive to Louisville from Chicago. United should have chartered a van for the employees and driven them there.

Out of curiosity, what tabbed terminals on other platforms would you consider to be significantly better than ConEmu/Hyper? (I've never actually used any GUI platform other than Windows for any length of time, so I would be interested in seeing what other people do use.)

I've been using Clementine for the past few years, too. It's really a nice "simple" interface.

After what "fact"?

That seems like a fairly straight-forward statistic based on a snapshot in time (e.g. when you do the survey): Has the person in question been: (a) living on the streets for more than a year, or four times in the past three years, and (b) has a "disabling condition" (e.g. serious mental illness, an addiction or a physical disability or illness)

I doubt that insurance paid for this procedure, so I don't think the single payer conversation is relevant. I'm assuming that given a similar regulatory environment, with single payer health care, that someone could choose to pay for such a unregulated procedure out-of-pocket.

But, if you decide not tip someone, especially a food service worker that you know is only making $2.35/hour, then you are punishing that worker. Punishing them vastly more than you are punishing are system or the employer. If you really don't want to support tipping culture, don't use any service/store that allows for it and petition your legislature to change the laws.

There is a comment on Reddit saying that the ArchiveTeam is working on archiving them:

Why would you prefer to depend on this (Japronto), instead of Gunicorn or uWSGI?

There is a good podcast/audio interview[1] with C Charles Isbell, Jr., Professor and Senior Associate Dean at GA Tech., on the TWiML podcast. He discusses how their first online master's program has worked, and I found it quite informative.

I don't think sociopathic is an accurate characterization. Carmack's behavior struck me as similar to someone with Asperger's Syndrome (based on the Masters of DOOM book.)

It seems like their focus is more on the mainstream (~$200) cards than the high-end.

They did get their chips in both the major consoles, so maybe that focus on squeezing costs out if the mid-range is working out.

Have you tried the Anaconda distribution? You should be able to install it entirely in user space.

I think a good book that is closer to Andrew NG's course would be the An Introduction to Statistical Learning (ISL)[1]

Depending on your learning style, Data Science from Scratch[2] might be another good option.

BTW, neither of these uses Octave like Andrew NG's course does. The first one uses R and the second uses Python.
