If current investors weren't satisfied with current income, they would sell. Facebook's margins are excellent, and while I will agree their P/E ratio is high, Google's is quite near that of GE (which should have a much lower multiple considering their return on assets is MUCH lower). I'm sure it will happen eventually, but tech companies are making money right now, and they aren't built on broken economics like the dot com bust in 99.

I guess while I agree there is a bubble in startup valuations, I do not think Google, FB, and friends are at huge risk of going bankrupt or losing a substantial portion of their enterprise values.
Over last 5 years, Apple's net income increased 7x, growing from $2 billion to $14 billion. Over this same period, Microsoft grew its net income only 1.5x, from $13 billion to $19 billion. While it is amazing that Apple is almost worth $300 billion, it is truly staggering that Microsoft is still worth $240 billion.
There's no need for that tone. You misunderstood the question - flashgorden was just asking why macs were so popular among developers.

It seems to be a failed social experiment to me, there is definitely a negative feedback loop there. Bad HITS, low wages, withheld payments, bad workers, sweatshops. Hard to imagine it will get any better.

I wonder if you reversed the process and had projects bid on workers if it could counter the race to the bottom effect. Include a system where work could be divided into common types and include worker metrics and feedback that captured any specialization. Perhaps allow some workers to fill a managerial role, where they acquire large blocks and have a trusted group they farm out work to. Presumably wages would go up but bad work would go down, perhaps offsetting it somewhat.
I dunno. I tried for a good year (with a borrowed mac) to like it but never could get into the mac mentality. Perhaps a year isnt enough? The shininess I did like very much. Just not enough to pay the apple tax :D
it's funny to think about how the advantages of compact encoding influenced the progress of technology. would like to think that we're getting past this by way of Unicode, but this is an analysis problem, so character 'visual encoding' rears its head again.

of course, people are fantastically good at it, if trained in school. looking at /other/ people's scripts though, well, here we are. :)
One of the saddest thing about getting scammed is the fact that you are almost going to be alone doing things on your own and trying to get your funds back. I saw an ad about icryptolands. ltd on facebook and decided to invest in their 1 month ROI, I didnt find out they were fake till after a month, I reported to facebook and they did nothing about it. I eventually had to use help from Assetsrepo. com to get my deposits back from them.
I had a very similar experience as you wrt AI and algorithms courses. Oddly enough, when I then (later) started exploring these more on my own I found them much more interesting.
I totally agree with you, when it comes to my own personal projects. (In fact, the number of languages I have relatively seriously dabbled in is getting to the point that it's best to leave off a CV, lest one comes off as a jack-of-all-trades or something.)

But for companies, it's pretty hard to put together 3-4 teams of developers in some esoteric language. And to find developers for it many years down the line for maintenance. So, they understandably stick to mainstream stuff, even if there are significant inherent advantages to something off the beaten bush.
I see the current arch uses a separate process.

Is the JVM integration likely to follow the same path or use a Java Agent?

Very cool project, continuous profiling, distributed tracing and always-on debugging are production tooling I feel will eventually become common place just need to crack through the YAGNI by making them easier to obtain.

It's not uncommon to do some webrtc video compositing (MCU) in a headless chrome, since it's usually the easiest solution and you can add some decorations with html on top. But it's definitely not very efficient. Especially since this is mostly ran on linux and chrome has almost no hardware video decode/encode capabilities on linux (starting to change).

> Most middle aged peole who live in Claifornia west of the I5 and own a house probably have a net worth > $700k.

Well, yeah, there are lots of wealthy people in California. It seems like you're saying "it's so normal to be wealthy in California, so they aren't really wealthy". Sure, maybe you aren't relatively wealthy compared to your neighbours, but that doesn't change the fact that you're wealthier than 99% of the world.

> you can have that net worth and just be getting by

Only if you define "just getting by" by "having a normal lifestyle compared to your peers". But then most of the people in any range will be "getting by", by definition, including the 0.1%.

There's no need to confuse

"these people are wealthy" (for some arbitrary but quite reasonable definition of "wealthy")

with

"these people are privileged" or "these people should feel guilty" (both of which involves all sorts of value judgement)
> So your concept of fairness involves a person who has the power to assign and remove property from other people according to his judgments.

Yes, and that person is Uncle Sam, Marianne, the Goddess of Democracy, it is me and you, because it is be formed from societal consensus and the republican process.

Coercion schmoercion.

> You must take responsibility for your own moral judgments.

Certainly, in the same way a fish takes responsibility for the water it lives and breathes in.

> And marriage means that its not possible for a husband to rape his wife.

Your entire stance is that marriage is unjust because it can be abused. While I'm arguing that abusive marriages do not necessarily form the majority, nor does it invalidate the concept.

I'm no audiophile.

Lol, the OP article inspired me to go see whats on my Linkedin feed. In the top few items there was someone I dont know posting what I will generously call 'politically charged content'. Same shit different platform.

To give you an indication of how far their reach has been, the staff at our public library has an "all-hands" meeting on Thursday morning using Zoom.

I looked into the browser based version, but couldn't get it to load for some reason. Tried using Chrome and turned off Pi-Hole just in case they were blocking it.

Might have to do with my connection upstairs not being good enough - router is on the first floor on the opposite side of the house. Does anyone know what kind of bandwidth requirements there are for Zoom's clients? I don't see anything at that URL.

If all else fails, I'll probably do it from iOS, just so I can uninstall their client when we're done. No freaking way this comes anywhere near my laptop in any permanent fashion.

Qualia | Full-Stack Software Engineers | San Francisco, CA | Onsite (remote during shelter-in-place) | Full-time, Salary + Options
Qualia (qualia.com) is a startup making web applications for real estate professionals. We just raised our series C and we're growing! We're looking for full-stack software engineers at all levels.

Our engineering culture is collaborative and friendly, and we make beautiful products that our customers love to use. We're looking for engineers who want to be generalists: our engineering team does everything from the user interface design to the data syncing across our distributed systems.

Prior experience in the real estate industry isn't required, but you can expect to learn all about it! We offer daily catered lunches in our downtown SF office (naturally, only when the office is open).

Our goal is to make it possible to buy a house completely online. Solving the real estate coordination problem makes for some really fun engineering and design challenges, and opportunities to make the process better for everyone involved.

Contact Gabriel at gabriel<at>qualia.com!

> Regarding 'L', Lynx sometimes "hides" links if the anchor is around a div. Maybe it is just that simple. IIRC, <a href=...><div>...</div></a> will trigger a similar behaviour.

I'm generally against unnecessary web complexity, but I don't understand how anyone can paint Lynx a hero for randomly ignoring anchor tags.

I embrace progressive enhancement where possible, all of my blogs/sites will load and function without Javascript. I'm not going to serve alternative HTML in a scenario like this. There has to be a give and take towards Lynx supporting objectively valid pure HTML content.

It wouldn't violate any of Lynx's pure-text principles to parse modern HTML correctly.

Well, I'm only as wrong as the article.

I don't think I'm being naïve - at the very least it means that BD doesn't want the bad PR from being a robotic armaments company at the moment, which affords time for various groups to raise concerns, awareness, and petition for legislation guarding against it - also as mentioned in the article - on the other side of the agreement, i.e. disallow police forces from buying or using weapons that are not in the direct control of a human, or whatever the wording might be.
Different editors have different patterns of usage. I find I roughly speaking never duplicate lines, so why would this be a problem?

But yeah it can be off-putting.
Indeed, Gruber has resisted efforts to more thoroughly specify parts of the syntax (resolving ambiguities in parsing), saying that the original form works for his needs. This "power vacuum" has led to things like CommonMark (https://commonmark.org).
I will usually take screenshots of the aerial maps of an area I'm going to hunt - it's not usually a large area, so you don't need that many, and aerial photos detect important features for navigating through heavy bush (like a bluff line, or gorges/canyons on small streams) that aren't shown on our topographical maps - our topos only go down to 1:50000, would love to have 1:24000 like in the article or the British 1:25000 "Explorer" maps.

I've also used Google Earth for similar reasons - taking screenshots of the hillside I'm hunting from different angles, and the sun simulator in it is very helpful as well when planning a hunt on a cold morning. Being able to simulate what areas get the sun first at sunrise helps predict where the animals will be.
>Before version 2.0, Prettier was avoiding trailing commas by default where possible. This made the resulting JavaScript compatible with now very old environments such as IE8, but implied some missed opportunities.

Seems like a pretty good reason to change that one at least, since it seems to imply they've wanted trailing commas but didn't do it for compatibility reasons.

Interesting article. Considering 80% packet loss, would a custom UDP tunnel with 500% error correction packets be a feasible workaround to bypass latency issues?
> You forgot to say why Google would be a bigger threat than Microsoft

Microsoft wants you to use their spreadsheet software.

Google is a significant gatekeeper to information which influences what we know and the opinions we form. And that information is increasingly first party, e.g. YouTube, the Play Store.
The tests seem to be very scarce right now, but in the future I will definitely want to know if I did have COVID-19. So hopefully antibody tests will become available so at least people who become immune will at least know that.
Good quality graphical apps sounds great, but do those exist for every single use case? Unfortunately not. It doesn’t matter how great the native graphical sketching apps on MacOS and Windows are, that isn’t going to help me when what I want to do is analyse packet captures. That’s when I reach for Wireshark, and do so full of appreciation to the devs for the excellent tool they have provided.

Would it be better us every platform I use it in had an equally high quality fully native port with full feature parity across platforms? Sure, but I also understand the huge extra commitment of resources that would require, so I’m content to let them choose the trade off that works for them.
This list is meaningless unless you factor in the geographic sizes of the countries and what percentage of the land passes some density threshold.

If you split up the united states into regions, we definitely would not be 16th on the list.
> The statement “by focusing on abstinence you are setting a significant part of your patients up for failure” sounds like advocating “moderate drinking” to me.

Sorry, that was not my intention. Like I stated earlier in the thread, it’s been awhile since I reviewed the literature. I’m not a psychologist, and I’m neither a recipient nor a practitiner of Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Substance Abuse Syndrome.

That said I’m sure therapists have a way of negatively reinforcing the damaging drinking behavior in such a way that a single night out is not considered a failure. I don’t know how they do it, but they are experts and I’m sure they know how to.

In addition to all of this they claim to bank in the Bahamas. Bahamas discloses total banked assets and the amount of Tether issued far outpaces the rate at which the whole nation of the Bahamas' assets have been increasing.
That movie was wonderful. Highly recommend watching it if you haven't.
There are lots of ways they could spin that as a benefit for the user (i.e. security).

It would be a poor explanation, but even when there's a good explanation, as you can see it is still dismissed as just "good optics". So how do you tell the difference between "good optics" and features that provide real benefit?
Of course there's an API for creating and resizing instances. The issue is there are quotas that cap how many CPUs you can have, and increasing that is a manual process.
Absolutely not. I'm sure it's happened but I have never personally seen an RDS instance go down, in over 10 years consulting and building in AWS. Google Cloud SQL was going down for multiple minutes every month for one of my clients, and their support just said there was nothing they could do about it. That cost Google cloud at least a million dollars in revenue over the next few years as this was a fast growing startup.

Is that the best litmus test? My impression is that Valve is decentralized and self-organizing company[1] even though Gabe still has a "President" title.

In any case, it's quite an achievement to lie twice in a relatively short title. It's also ironic considering that Coinbase's business model is built on centralizing cryptocurrency services.
