I don't wear panties. And your criticism was sexist. Why were you highlighting the fact that she was a "Women in Product"? Why are you treating her different from any other silly apple fan boy?
Why the hell is a politician using colors other than red, white, or blue in the US?
And where is her Ford F150, Smith & Wesson, and 24 Oz T-Bone Steak? I hardly recognize this country anymore. God bless Payton Mann'n and the U, S of A.
It's a stupid tweet, but what's the big deal? If it were a dude saying it, you'd pass it off as another annoying Apple fan-boy. But because it's a women, you suggest she should change professions.
Calling lawmakers "woefully ignorant" of technology is a tired ad hominem argument, always thrown out by the techno-elites. It may have been true back in the 90s and early oughts, bu these senators entirely understand the implications of what they're doing. Calling a senator, especially Feinstein, "woefully ignorant" sounds naive... as if they aren't even listening to what the senators are saying.
Only 30 out of the top 360 packages aren't ready for Python 3.
My main project relies on about 50 different libraries. I just looked through the first ten of them, and only was on your top 360 list. Even determining which libraries I need to update will be a project.
I know this article was focused on Guido's softer side, but would have liked them to mention the elephant in the room: the move from Python 2 to 3. This been a huge resource drain on the entire community and many (including me) remain unconvinced that it was the right decision. It would have been nice if the topic was broached.
If you're still running Python 2 code, you should into the mirror see where the problem lies.
The problem lies far beyond the mirror. It lies in the dozens of libraries that I rely on that have not upgraded to Python 3 (despite pleas to the original authors). It relies on the hundreds of hours of porting, testing, and double checking that I will need to do to move my code over to Python 3. The improvements in Python 3 are real, but they are not worth the enormous burden imposed on everyone to get their code to be Python 3 compliant.
When I was a student in Law School, I almost exclusively took notes on a computer. When I graduated and starting practicing, I switched to legalpads (i.e., a large notepad). The primary reason I switched is because as a lawyer, you can have a legalpad sitting on a conference room desk in a meeting filled with people and it wont be a distraction to yourself or others. In law school, you mostly sat, listened and took notes, so it was less of an issue.
Zuckerberg's 10-year vision for the company relies on major technological breakthroughs on three main fronts: artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, and bringing Internet access to the 4 billion or so people who don't have it.
There are plenty of places popping up that are akin to CBGBs, sure they don't play pink rock, and they aren't in the same neighborhood, as the Bowery has been gentrified. But NYC is still the place young musicians and artists come to in order to make their expressions heard. Some "make it", most don't. The really new stuff is coming from less expensive neighborhoods like Bushwick and Long Island City, and some venues in 30 years may reach CBGB fame.
But even in the gentrified neighborhoods, there is still plenty of culture. Within two blocks of CBGBs is the New Museum and the soon to be opened international center for photography, and plenty of galleries with avante guard artists, which throw parties wth cool crowds on a near daily basis. It isn't what it was back in the 70s, but it's still a vibrant place.
And I just read the article that you linked to regarding the closing of CBGBs. While its closing is certainly a sad thing, the quote in the first sentence by Patti Smith sums up the New Yorker's attitude nicely:
There’s new kids with new ideas all over the world. They’ll make their own places—it doesn’t matter whether it’s here or wherever it is.
Housing prices are the biggest negative about NYC. But while the average house may be far too expensive for the average person, it is still possible to scrape by in Manhattan. More importantly, you don't have to live in Manhattan. The so-called "outskirts" of the city are incredibly dynamic and interesting places to live. Most of the culture that is now in Manhattan was sourced from the outer boroughs and Harlem, bringing in the best they had to offer.
Yes, New Yorkers bemoan the loss of our old cultural institutions (I played at CBGB's in the 90s), but fast paced change is just part of the scenery here. Uprooting old established institutions is itself an institution of this city. Yes, there are Subway's and bland banks, but there are also hundreds of hole-in-the-wall sandwich shops and community gardens. The culture and people of NYC change rapidly, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse, but that's what makes it such an beautiful and "human" city.
The algorithmically generated prior art is probably not prior art at all. To be prior art, the description has to be published at a specific date. I don't see any dates on this prior art (here for example http://allpriorart.com/1459996...). Further, even if it had a date, it's unclear if this was ever "published". A single URL sitting on the internet is probably insufficient to meet the publication requirement if the link isn't accessible from some indexing or search system. Even the 10,000 prior art inventions posted to archive.org (here https://archive.org/download/A...) could arguably not be considered accessible if there is no real way to find anything within them.
This has a long way to go before it could be considered practical. That said, it's an interesting idea.
We have the riff-raff, but for some reason it seems to be less of an issue than in SF. Maybe it's the weather that is less conducive to street homelessness, maybe a greater diversity of residents and commerce make homelessness seem like a smaller issue, maybe it's the police sweeping all of it under the carpet, maybe it's less publicly reported, or maybe (probably unlikely) we're doing something right politically. But overall, day-to-day living in NYC does not have the same level of problems with the homeless population as many from San Fran appear to have.
NYC is the city for humans. We have it all, readily accept everyone, and happily allow you to make it what you want.
There is some redemption in this story: A young man comes to a new land believing he can make something of himself, he fails, tries to make up for his misdeeds but fails again. While I don't admire Mr. Gopman, there is something classically human about his condition. We can all learn from his story.
While I agree that content of the article was relatively contrite, it was a worthwhile read. It's a telling story of hubris, family money, and youthful inexperience that leads to inflated egos and eventually a painful public downfall. The tie-in with the tech world made it timely and relevant. You don't walk away thinking Mr. Gopman is a good person, only a person. Overall a good story.
I'm a bit surprised that this is generating so much attention. These types of browsers are not new, case in point: https://adtrustmedia.com/
I can't imagine users would download Brave willingly. If I were the newspapers, I would wait for this browser to die out on its own.

Can't wait till we can say, get me some more Cheetos, robot.

Too late. They already have that in the UAE: http://www.theplaymania.com/sk...
How exactly would the US force terrorists and criminals to use this state sanctioned pre-owned encryption?
Easy. You throw anyone into jail who doesn't use "state sanctioned pre-owned encryption."

Any transition takes work. ... it isn't something that's even that hard.
Think about everything that could have been accomplished if the community had not needed to focus on 2to3. We could have had a functioning JIT by now.

It ... only calls functions when you stick parentheses after a function reference.
Python police: Pyhton's @property decorator allows you to call a function merely by referencing a variable.

Netflix users pay what, about $10 a month? Comcast users pay about $60 - 200/month? What comparison is this.

You both missed the singularity, duh.

I love Ireland, it's a beautiful country with amazing people, but these tech and pharma companies are shameful in using Ireland as a tax dodge.
