>You want to start excluding people because of perceived (or actual) motivations?

Nah, I don't subscribe to the (unfortunately common) mentality of being exclusionary based on ideological purity evaluations. But since they obviously don't really subscribe to the idea of Open Web (as evident by their enthusiastic support for DRM in HTML, which is about as anti-Open Web as it gets), I guess I just wish they could be more honest about it. After all, what good is it that someone uses an "Open Media" format when it's put behind a completely closed black box barrier of DRM that you aren't even allowed to legally poke at thanks to anti-circumvention laws?

I do think this particular development is very much a good thing for the Open Web, and I certainly don't doubt Mozilla commitment to that. But the whole HTML DRM debacle did leave a really bitter taste in my mouth.
The other classic is welcoming you on the first second of your first visit with a css pop-up hiding the site to ask you some feedback.
I thought Zing was basically HotSpot licensed and modified to use C4 (plus a few other minor things). How comes it's faster than HotSpot overall? Are there a lot of Azul-specific compiler optimisations there too?
On a mac, works for me.
At my university, some courses have started making virtual machines for students with all of the necessary software. This also turns out to be a problem because installing virtualbox or VMWare on a variety of laptops can be difficult for the course staff.
I think most people code this themselves because what "data cleaning" means is usually specific to each dataset/problem.
Simulated click events are tracked as simulated. From the Javascript point of view there's not much difference unless synthetic/authentic click activation is involved (i.e. links, form submit, etc)

As search becomes something that society depends upon, start treating it as a public utility.

> without specifying what metrics Google is and is not allowed to use?

Why not? If society depends on something, we regulate it. There are many different possible degrees of regulation, so this is not a boolean condition, even though painting such situations as a boolean choice between pure laissez-faire and nationalizing an industry (instead of merely regulating).

If you don't like this idea, I suggest that Google (or any other business) should find a way on their own to handle the situation (possibly by making their metrics more available, transparent, and verifiable?), or the choice may eventually be taken out of their hands.

Attempting to maintain the abstraction of law by fixing it when it leaks has the hazard of bad actors sneaking undesirable elements into our social structures, like violently maintained hierarchy. Adopting a mindset that law is fundamentally flawed and its language is essentially incoherent helps mitigate this possibility.

An example of such incidence is when people trust the police to the point that they prejudge conflicts involving the police on the basis that they represent the law, and the law is good, therefore the police are good. This is still happening.
Sense360 | Los Angeles, CA | Software Engineer or Data Scientist| ONSITE

We're hiring mid-level/senior Developers and Data Scientists.

http://sense360.com/careers.html

About us:
Sense360 is a sensor-Intelligence company that helps apps detect when people do things in the real-world.

Imagine if your app could understand location, activity, and context in the background, in a completely privacy-friendly way, and with minimal battery drain. You could build ambient-notifications, geo-caching features, auto check-ins, proximity alerts, and so much more.

Sense360 takes all of the complexity out of the development process, and lets you add highly accurate, battery efficient, and privacy friendly sensor-intelligence with a few lines of code.

Email mikey@sense360.com with a resume if you're interested!
Maybe it is just the recruiter. I saw a printed copy of my CV with their header on in one interview, so I assume they want to edit it to do that.
Your claim was that a favicon could be a different font than in the logo. But these examples are all a part of the logos. Google would have needed to rebrand their logo to do the same.
Vector tiles that work with trackpads correctly. (try to use two fingers on a trackpad to zoom in, and compare that to https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/examples/).

Also, the new faux-3d effect in the satellite imagery is really irritating.
Human nature is incredibly easy to understand and predict: on average people want to work the least hours necessary, for the most income possible. They will also always want the most benefits possible, and will take as many things tilted in their favor as possible. The same is true for businesses. Nothing about that constant tug-of-war will ever change.

In this case, it's Uber drivers wanting their cake and wanting to eat it too. It's an universal behavior of trade, whether from the labor side or the business side. At some point everyone angles for more, using whatever leverage they have.
"Someone is being an ass on the internet" and it's OK because "opinions". But it does touch upon one of more interesting problems. There is only so many years you have before you die and there are many more books than you can read and you will not know whether you like it or not before you read it because reviews are just too personal. Say you read an average of 100 books a year, that's 6000 books and that MIGHT just get you through all those top 100s of this and that genre. And it'd be nice to leave some room for serendipity. If not for that I'd never read any Murakami. This is an unsolved problem and all that amazon and goodreads does is recommend you more of the top bestsellers (and let's be honest, high street bookstores are even worse).
Should you let Facebook decide your credit worthiness?
So, Uber might become taxi company soon, just bit more modern?
> And while the Common Lisp revival movement sort of petered out, Racket (which is honestly much better than Common Lisp to my tastes) is still trucking along and might be poised to be the next step for a generation of programmers who've absorbed the Javascript mindset.

While I personally like Racket quite a bit, I think that the Lisp most posed to pick up the JS crowd is Clojure/ClojureScript.

OTOH, maybe instead of a Lisp we'll get another halfway-from-where-they-are language for the JS programmers, and continue the Zeno's paradox of Lisp readiness...
PayPal Launches PayPal.Me
Over my pay grade, which is why I'm slopping away at ARM Cortex firmware instead of at Azul. I'd ask my friend but he's on vacation. I do know Azul originally ran their JVM on custom processors. (Target market high speed trading systems, etc) I can't see why they would have done that unless older 0x86 etc processors just couldn't do what they needed.

A little internet searching, leads to this and some other stuff.
https://www.artima.com/lejava/articles/azul_pauseless_gc.htm...

I think the deal is, if the GC moves something, it can leave a bunch of dangling pointers. Those need to be fixed up to point to the new place before they get dereferenced. Except Azul uses a read barrier to trap when a dangling pointer is dereferenced, so the fix up can be lazy.
Did you read the article? Did you read my post? Who are you replying to?

Checksumming is great. Improving uptime (in your case, by not having to recreate the data) is great. Why do you assume I don't agree with you?
Poe's law?

Because, you know, a country is governed by citizens, not corporations. And citizens' rights are paramount.
Thanks for the link! I was aware there were thrusters on top of the stage (otherwise the difficulty would seem impossible), but that description and the longer video were a lot better than what I'd seen previously.

I couldn't dig up any specs on the cold-gas thrusters' actual output. I mean, how much tilt can they recover from on landing? Best I could find was this Musk response.

"Q. In addition, can you talk more about the grid fins that will be flying tomorrow? How do they compare to maneuvering with cold-gas thrusters?

The grid fins are super important for landing with precision. The aerodynamic forces are way too strong for the nitrogen thrusters. In particular, achieving pitch trim is hopeless. Our atmosphere is like molasses at Mach 4!"

Excellent! It feels like I am on the Daily WTF. A severe WTF followed by a thread of everyone's battle stories.

I've worked on .NET most of my career. Biggest old-tech WTF is JS in IE5, or hours of fun getting those DCOM balls spinning again.
There's a lot out there spinning the same result different ways; but I think that's the general status -- social mobility hasn't changed in the US for decades.

There's rather clearer data that the gap between rich & poor continues to widen in the US, which makes it a bit more bleak that going from poor to rich is still a rough uphill battle.

It's also fairly disheartening when you think of all the things that have changed in the past 50 years, many efforts that should help social mobility. Attempting to stop pervasive lead poisoning, lots of grants and policies to help get poor kids through basic and into higher education, legal and other sorts of efforts against sexism and racism... all kinds of things intended to hopefully make the playing ground more fair for everyone haven't actually moved this particular needle at all.

For a bit more context, also look outside of the US. If you want to live the American dream, you'll have a much better chance in Denmark. Reference here (though I read about it elsewhere a few years ago... can't remember orig src): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socio-economic_mobility_in_the...

Of the 9 developed countries in that study, only the UK ranked worse than the US.
> Why does the procrastinator do these things? Because they are a way of not doing something more important.

Or the opposite. Because the subconscious figured out there is something more important to do than what you were doing.

Ignoring the pull of the subconscious is equal to self sabotage.
It doesn't really matter, because most of the top search results you click on will probably include 1MB of ad tracking javascript anyway.
Asking GitHub about "anomaly detection" turns up a bunch of stuff for time series data. If you need something more generic, maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELKI could be useful?
Not infinite storage.

And given that I can get a 128GB MicroSD for <$60 (and dropping) and static media (videos, photos, etc) can already be backed by cloud storage, I just don't see the need for such technology.

> It's a bit of a stretch to imply that Uber is ignoring its drivers.

The reference to "ignoring them" in the post you were responding to had "regulations" not "drivers" as the antecedent of "them".
"Master plans have two additional unhealthy characteristics. To begin with, the existence of a master plan alienates the users ... After all, the very existence of a master plan means, by definition, that the members of the community can have little impact on the future shape of their community, because most of the important decisions have already been made. In a sense, under a master plan people are living with a frozen future, able to affect only relatively trivial details. When people lose the sense of responsibility for the environment they live in, and realize that they are merely cogs in someone else’s machine, how can they feel any sense of identification with the community, or any sense of purpose there?"

I'm surprised no one on the team was familiar with multivariate analysis. That's the wrong way to say it. Let me rephrase more carefully...

I'm surprised no one used more sophisticated analysis techniques to allow an experiment that changes many explanatory factors simultaneously and estimates the effects of not only each factor independently but also their interactions. It's relatively straightforward statistics and would have been taught to clever undergrads or first-year grad students who specialized in math, economics, machine learning, industrial engineering, etc.
