I have a dell 9700 and I had this happen just yesterday on a god damn flight. I am still pissed. I never put my laptop to sleep/hibernate. I always shutdown. I have no idea but it somehow turned on in my bag, I felt it on my leg on the flight. I opened the bag and it was freaking hot. I have no idea how this happened. I noticed sometimes when I docked I click shutdown, it doesn't shutdown.

The other thing is there is no freaking light on the laptop other than the keyboard lighting to indicate it's off. I have to flip the laptop and listen to see if it's on, I look like a crazy person in public. I love the laptop but this is downright ridiculous. As I am typing on it, I smell an electronic burn but the laptop seems fine.


"Test Pilot", "Experiment" are not words I want to see when it comes to my login credentials.


Everything starts out so, so we can wait until it's stable, no?


Then you are not the target audience yet.


I've avoided AWS because I'm using Azure more (not that I have a problem with AWS)


They can't even keep a URL shortner service up and running?

In other words, a 80000-pound gorilla sits anywhere it damn wishes to. (Yes, I know that the original gorilla was two orders of magnitude smaller)


"We better get a bigger gorilla."


I suspect goo.gl sounds too much as a 'validated' Google link. Like the Amazon examples elsewhere in this thread. So users think falsely they can trust these links.

If true its actually surprising they kept the service going this long.


It's more about what they want to promote instead than about whether or not they can pay for it.


Perhaps they got tired of spammers and scammers making use of their URL shortening service?

I know nothing about game development or the likes. But I just browsed the site. Wouldn't it make sense to maybe create a torrent or huge iso file of this info instead of downloading each asset manually?


This is a bit confusing, I have a website and I log IP addresses in my web server log and I use google analytics, what do I need to do?


The legal ramifications of storing IP addresses didn’t change with GDPR. You should already have them anonymized since they count as personal data:

Google Analytics (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection...):

  ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true); 
Web server (here nginx, https://stackoverflow.com/a/45405406):

  map $remote_addr $remote_addr_anon {
    ~(?P<ip>\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\.    $ip.0;
    ~(?P<ip>[^:]+:[^:]+):       $ip::;
    default                     0.0.0.0;
  }

Only if you store more data about your customers/users you need to act further.


> ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);

Note that this doesn't actually provide any useful anonymization. That feature is a placebo designed to give minimal compliance with privacy policies and pre-GDPR data protection requirements.

Are IP addresses actually considered "personal data"? They are how computers talk to each other. Anonymizing them doesn't make any sense to me.


They're anonymized for things like logs. When the computers aren't talking to each other, the reasons to know the exact IP address are rather minimized. If you feel you have a real need to do so, then you just need to inform your users what you're doing.


You can also irreversibly hash sensitive data it so you can still use it for debugging.


IPV4 is only 4 bytes. Hashing through all 4 milliard is trivial.


Another reason for IPv6.


This is off topic. But what do you use to generate the api documentation? It's very clean, love it.

This was a homegrown solution by a student that worked for us. It's not auto generated and quite frankly painful to maintain as it just generates this html in php via parsing xml files. We're looking for alternatives at the moment too.


Hmm, you'd think this would make the stock go down (today), but it hasn't yet.


Old news. GE has been in free fall for a year now (down almost 50% over the last year and worst djia performer).

Last week a warning came out and it fell then. It was pretty well anticipated that news relating to the insurance business was coming out this week. I guess the news is about inline with what was expected.

Generally, by the time news like this hits the papers, everybody already knows about it, unless it is some secretive expose. This wasnt a secret.


Confounding news. Earnings were good; this news is negative.

> The shares rose less than 1 percent to $16.97 ahead of regular trading in New York, erasing a gain of as much as 5.8 percent that followed the announcement of the company’s fourth-quarter earnings.


Huh? GE missed eps estimates for 4q2017 ($0.29 vs $0.27). It had positive guidance for 2018, but not many believe them.


If everybody already assumed that they would miss estimates then announcing that you missed estimates won't affect the share price.


If everyone already assumed they'd miss analyst estimates, then what's the point of an analyst?


The company's estimates and outside analyst's estimates are two different things. When they agree then I think the price gets reflected quickly, when they disagree it opens it up for more volatility.


Maybe the news was already baked in? Seems like a common underfunded long term liability issue that could be forseen in their financial statements. (Any company with long dated fixed liabilities and unrealistic investment return assumptions can fall into this)


It's down over 1% at the moment, but with it already so beaten down there's a limit to the impact of more bad news.


Strong business and margins in the aircraft engine market, with a good future outlook in growth of the airline industry


Daily stock movements are practically random. Stocks go down even if earnings beat estimates.


This is true.

40% of the time, options prices move in the opposite direction of the earnings surprise.

For those who are skeptical, this is not magic. The reasons for it are all the reasons you might expect: the biggest investors may not agree with the market consensus, the analyst consensus doesn't weight analysts by credibility so the "credible" analysts may not match consensus and so on.


Stocks go down even if earnings beat estimates.

Only if you beat estimates by less than people had estimated you would.

Workday beated estimates by over 50%, yet shares fell. I can give a lot more examples...

Lots of investors also sell when earnings beat estimates because they think they'll be selling high, etc. Point is there are tons of factors and it is way too simplistic to say beating earnings = price increase on that day.


There are two estimates you need to consider. The official estimate and the 'secret' estimate that investors really think you should beat. Although most people focus on the first one, it's only the second one that really counts.

Point is there are tons of factors and it is way too simplistic to say beating earnings = price increase on that day.

Absolutely agree.


Workday beated estimates by over 50%, yet shares fell. I can give a lot more examples...

Par for the course for AAPL at earnings time for many years, not so much recently. Beat earnings, but didn’t beat the “whisper number”.


This really depends on how accurate analyst estimates have been in the recent past. Consistently beating estimates will produce less gains over time. Similarly, consistently missing earnings will eventually cause less price damage over the mid run (of course it will probably produce bankruptcy in the long run). Confounding this picture in this case is that the market is trying to price a bunch of spinoffs which have been announced or rumored.
