That’s about 30k people? So a 0.075% increase in your population with people from India (Not accounting for any departures back to India)

Yes, but also why should they? It’s not really in their interest to do so. The only reason they’re doing anything is because of regulatory pressure.

What’s the power consumption on that? The biggest draw for these machines (to me at least), is how they seem to run on a 5w power source.

I felt like the system that’s in the portal from Facebook would be the ideal vc setup for my parents (i.e. video calling on a tv). Though, there’s no way I’d want to put a camera from Facebook in my parents house. I did try Google duo (I guess it’s call meet now?) with a Google tv, but since it was with a 3rd party web cam, things like autofocus didn’t work as well as I’d like.

There’s quite a few. I think they’re called “dark stores”. https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/30/business/grocery-delivery-pic...

If you double click the top bar (or use one of the many window management tools), you can maximize the window without going full screen.

You can always boot from your mbp? Treat it like an external bootable storage system. Yes you won’t be able to use the display on the laptop, but you will be able to run your applications on the iMac. (Assuming that matters more? For me it does. I can’t stand how slow docker is on my mbp, pretty much puts my cpu to 100% and has the fans running at full speed)

Maybe I'm being too picky? Or a maybe I'm just in the minority, bit I don't really like using Sonic. I mean, their internet works, and customer support is fine (but I've had as good a service from Comcast too).

What I find annoying from Sonic is their billing process. I dislike that they foist a random router onto you and charge you $10 a month (and charge you if you want to return it). I also dislike that they force a landline on you and charge you another $10 on you. Who in 2019 needs a landline? What I find somewhat dishonest, is how the sell it. I get that most advertising is not supposed to reflect reality, but it's sort of strange that you get excited about ads that say and "1GBPS internet at $40 a month" and only a year later realize that you're paying $75 a month instead. And that's something that's public, who knows what else about their business is as deceptive.

I suppose that's why Sonic has survived. I suppose that's the kind of business you need to run if you want to have a successful ISP.

I have it set up so that it connects to my phone via bluetooth, and I output audio from whatever service I want on my phone.

Also, you can get it to connect to your phone via a voice command ("Alexa connect <device name>"), when you want to use it.

I recently graduated from Indiana University, with a masters in Computer Science. I have been working as a research assistant to a professor at the university.

I see myself primarily as a C / python / C++ developer, and I am looking to work as a systems engineer.

I am currently in the San Francisco Bay Area for the next few weeks, and I hope to talk to as many companies as I can.

Curious, what do people who work with embedded systems usually use to get a web interface for their device? Routers, for as long as I can remember have had a web UI though I'm not really sure what sort of a back end runs it.

Isn't that the real problem? You're a company that says "here's 15 seconds to convey some information". Yet, you aren't able to convey the information you wanted to (i.e the ad for your service) in 15 seconds. I think they missed a trick with this ad.

Here's a related talk on MiniKanren by Dan Freidman and Will Byrd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q9x16uIsKA

The bits about generating programs using MiniKanren was truly mind blowing.

Yep, I remember reading it a long time ago. Quite a fun read.

I think engadget just blurred out the passwords there.

When I was living in the United states I was able to use services like Netflix and spotify and get the content I wanted whenever I wanted where ever I wanted. Now, I that live in India, I cannot get that content legally. I cannot watch the TV shows I want to watch as they are aired (I have to wait 2-3 years for stuff to come on TV). The ONLY option I have is to download tv shows via torrents / find some online stream and discover new music via grooveshark. Its not that I can't pay for the content, or don't want to, its that I quite literally cant!

Anyone else notice the time displayed as local time? Not that its anywhere as cool as the rest of the demo, but I think its a really nice touch!

Perhaps I might be in the minority here, but I thought elementary OS deserved a mention at least.

Brilliant way to start the year off. I first got my hand on this book when I was in high school and was bit overwhelmed. I read it again in college, but again, I don't think I really "got it". Getting into a group read/discussion on this book would by simply PERFECT!

Half way through the article I was in a bit of agreement with the writer about how our need for immediate gratification is so easily satisfied by the virtual supplements we get everyday and how it weighs us down overall as a society of humans; but all of a sudden he moves to assumes that people who are classified as religious fundamentalists, for some reason, seem to have figured it all out! Clearly the author is contradicting himself here. It is very unlikely (I would say impossible, but there's always an outlier somewhere) that someone who happens to be a religious fundamentalist would also not have delusions of "fitness-faking". What a terrible end to an article that could have been such an awesome topic of discussion.

Open ERP is quite interesting. (http://www.openerp.com/)

You can get a trial version of SAP here > http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcon...

But the problem is that its not meant to be run at home. I'm guessing most contracts for SAP run into the 10s of millions and I don't think they intend to give that up quite easily. Though there are a few companies (for example: Secude) that pretty much sit around and build hacks on SAP applications, but that too involves a lot of paperwork with SAP and almost always ends up with SAP buying out those companies.

The problem is that most of the legal documentation available are really boring power point presentations that provide as little technical information as possible.

Most of their detailed documentation is only available for people who take up their courses (yes, they are that evil) and certification exams.

I do remember quite a bit of it was available on rapidshare though unless you were already working on something specific you wouldn't know what exactly to search for.

To start with, I would suggesting getting a book on SAP R/3. More specifically the SAP R/3 handbook by Jose Antonio Hernandez. I don't know of any thing available for free (legally) that is as good a place to start.

As for the product offerings from SAP, they more or less seem to be components that sit on the same application stack. So getting into one of these applications could provide insight into what everything else does.

Disclaimer: I work as an SAP Basis consultant (that's sort of an application admin + OS admin + DBA)

In case anyone was looking for the popup text info in english (hit the '?' on the right) http://www.google.pl/?hl=en

It's a shame no one ever invented that sarcasm font. Would do really do the world a huge favor.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense now.

When they say 'oral exams', are the applicants expected to shoot out an answer without actually looking at the problem or writing a solution? And if that's the case, how much time would they get to solve these problems mentally? I can't imagine being able to solve any of these without a pen and paper. I would assume that unless you already know the answer, there isn't a way for an 'unwanted' applicant to be able to do so either.

Wow. So let me get this straight. I can start a service, that people pay money to use. I also tell them that their credit card / personal information may not be secure and if they want to use the service that they already paid for, they have to accept that I am not liable for its security and if (when) this information does get stolen, I can give them a coupon and get way with it? Please tell me I'm wrong. This can't be legal.
