Depends on the state. The majority of states either have laws relating to disclosing known STDs or laws specifically about disclosing known HIV status, or both.

If you're building a native python application, there's no reason to adopt yet another technology.

A native python app in "Docker/Containers" is going to look like a dockerfile that includes a copy of the app and runs three commands. Either you build that on the server (what's the point) or use a registry (additional complexity for little benefit).

displaying language is full of corner cases. imagine having to render both english, japanese, and arabic in the same code paths, and inline with each other

text display code is not so simple as it seems, and don't fall into the trap of "how hard could it really be"

maybe future laws and policy will take into account the more-or-less finite supply of bitcoin. maybe.

my point is that there is no guarantee that bitcoin will receive favorable decisions. it's hard for the lay person to understand (why not just print more?) and if ever declared a currency-non-grata could actively be attacked in this way.

i should add that i have engaged in btc currency speculation and had a positive result. the long term value/health of btc is of great benefit to me. but, it would be foolish for me to assume that because it would good for it to be so that it will be so.

"Especially important for finite supplies like Bitcoin"

The law doesn't concern itself with the technical implementation of bitcoin. In addition, trackable and "tainted" money is dangerous for people to accept; bitcoin just makes it real easy to identify that.

I would expect that apache and lighttpd are hosted in their respective projects; linux is used to run linux.com servers, etc.

If Google is using GCP internally, then their infrastructure is as you said.

The GCP "best practices" sections in the docs* have been top tier in my experience and you can learn a lot, even if you're using AWS or Azure.

* my one complaint is that searching for the docs almost always ends you up on marketing pages, which you then have to find the docs link on.

People don't love XMPP for a lot of reasons. Some of those reasons apply to IoT. Some reasons, like having to maintain state, are IoT specific.

Besides that, bandwidth and code complexity is a very real concern. MQTT, a lightweight message passing protocol, has become the de facto default.

When the "good Desktop development framework" is primarily in javascript, it's a good signal.

Sometimes there's not something to fix or do, for example, in pthread-using code. "Just be really fucking careful or we'll all cry a lot."

As a developer, Electron's page shows their prowess in writing good front end code, which is really important. As someone who understands the basic concept of Electron, I want a product that demonstrates those competencies.

More than once, cutesy comments of frustration have led me to inspect something for side effects and avoid them.

This begins to fall apart in major cities without OSM volunteers ingesting city roadwork feeds. Of course, something like tomtom wouldn't represent that ideally either without a radio data or cell service...

Learn word. It's still best in class.

Or LibreOffice. Depending on the type of manuscript, Dryad or celtx.

Of course, I don't know your workflow.

It also means that they have trouble acquiring certain types of talent (reputation is free talent advertising).

In addition, having a few world conquerers around helps bring talent and money which is then turned into startups - there are a lot of great companies and non-profits that make SV what it is because some founder or early employee exited with retirement money and decided they wanted to apply their skills to helping society.

Not that's the norm, mind you, or that world-conquerers are amazing. Just, why having the occasional "big vision" around helps out.

In Steve Jobs' case, it was meant to instill confidence that he was in it for the long term - at the time, Apple was on death's doorstep.

He also had enough cash in the bank prior to re-joining that he didn't really need the money.

Please put the install links at the top.

It's required for the proprietary camera algorithm software. The camera still works.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. North Korea is under incredible sanctions, and South Korea's embracing of the free market is considered to be an economic miracle made possible only by multiple headwinds, and some solid good luck.

China can hardly be called a free market, by the way.

This has been a known issue in xbox 360 hardware since about 2010.

It just keeps popping up, someone finally thought to weaponize it.

I think it's absolutely unreasonable to imply that this was intentional. Besides the massive amount of complexity these systems have, there are plenty of "legitimate" places to hide backdoors, instead of in a performance architecture decision.

Keep in mind that whatever "evil agencies" would have asked for this would most likely find themselves vulnerable, and nobody would sign off on.

I do agree, however, the "security by obscurity approach is quite frankly crap". The fact that even large corporations (not the big 5) can't even get away from ME speaks volumes about why this is a bad idea. Facebook isn't the only company with important data.

I'm not sure how they could have come out of this cleanly other than waving a wand and not having it happen? They pretty clearly owned up.

Yeah, but those early WMP versions were just simple media players with really awful, clunky, slow syncing support.

Microsoft took about 5 years to catch up, no small part due to USB 2.0

They say the design of the product, not the components are free, if we're going to be pedantic.

I think it's more that if I spend $200 on headphones that proclaim to be good for fitness, I expect them to sound great as well and in general be worth the $200.

I don't think it's so much audio quality while running as it is being able to use headphones both for listening at quality AND for running.

It's looking more and more like it's a modified-but-largely-intact BSD kernel with a 3ds api (not abi?) compatible userspace. Time will probably prove me wrong.

Tech Knowledge is a self-admitted FCC/BigTelecom shill.

Gamecube was a success. It wasn't a wild success. It also was the hardware foundation for the Wii (seriously, the wii is a gamecube and an arm chip smashed together).

Wii U was probably profitable. Not a success like a company like Nintendo needs, a strategic misstep that didn't impact their fortunes significantly. Hardware-wise it was a very direct descendant of the Wii (and gamecube). Relatively low development cost. The games developed for it are being ported to the switch to great success.

Also, I'm not saying it's impossible or not worth doing (obviously, it's possible and worth doing), just that a few minutes of thinking and hacker news comments are going to hardly touch the breadth of difficulties required to get this to work even somewhat reliably.
