Often times, that vendor and their "1-line of javascript to get our whiz-bang service" in turn loads other javascript files.

The fuel costs are just a function of ticket prices. The passenger pays the fuel prices.

Once BA worked out that most Concorde passengers didn't buy their own tickets, they increased pricing dramatically. The passengers didn't drop off.

In some markets, higher prices signal certain status which then allows even higher demand. Same with exclusive real estate, jewellery, artwork, etc. As long as supply is limited it's not necessarily a problem.
LA-NY is a key route for SST but was blocked because it was overland. This was one of the main reasons it took forever to become profitable and also why only two airlines ever flew them, and were virtually given the planes.

I don't think that the government should be involved in regulating advertising beyond things like banning ads for jumping off of bridges and other legitimately harmful things.

Where I think regulations do make sense is for advertising by-product: the enormous treasure trove of data about users that is collected and stored who-knows-where and has who-knows-what done to it.

tl;dr: Thawte (owned by Symantec) issued a "pre-certificate" for an EV certificate for google.com and www.google.com without consulting Google.

Google noticed this when it showed up in Certificate Transparency logs, and Symantec asserted it was created during internal testing of their systems.

For anybody else who didn't know what a "pre-certificate" was, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6962#section-3.1 :

Anyone can submit a certificate to any log. In order to enable
attribution of each logged certificate to its issuer, the log SHALL
publish a list of acceptable root certificates (this list might
usefully be the union of root certificates trusted by major browser
vendors). Each submitted certificate MUST be accompanied by all
additional certificates required to verify the certificate chain up
to an accepted root certificate. The root certificate itself MAY be
omitted from the chain submitted to the log server.

Alternatively, (root as well as intermediate) certificate authorities
may submit a certificate to logs prior to issuance. To do so, the CA
submits a Precertificate that the log can use to create an entry that
will be valid against the issued certificate.

Yea, they do get the tailpipe emmissions test. Most shops use just one reference book for the visual inspections.

The shop owner usually, almost always, buys the $100.00 Motor Emissions manual.

The cheap shop owner should buy OnDemand5(Mitchell Manual Smog Emission) subscription/publication. They don't because they are cheap, and CARB only requires one reference manual for customers, and technicians.

The problem is Motor Publications is filled with errors that send thousands of customers home with failed Smog Checks.

I have found so many errors in Motor publications, it's comical. I have numerous emails, where I am literally arguing with, I believe, a secretary, over errors in their manuals. I have one email when the person I'm communicating with doesn't know the difference between Naturally Aspirated(Carburated) v.s. Fuel Injection. It's beyond frustrating, and I hope they get sued!

If you live in California, and your car doesn't pass the visual smog check, it's probally not you--it's errors in Motor Publications?

I have found errors on older Toyotas, and Volvos. Just the two autos I happen to own? What are the odds of that? They failed my vechicles, until I went to a shop that had Mitchell manuals, and I presented the Techs with a Printout of the Correct Emmission information.

(Motor Emission manuals--If you are listening; please clean up your books? It's beyond frustrating to fail a smog test because of your sloppy research! I will show the world my frustrating emails--if necessary?)

(CARB--if you are listening, require every shop to have access to two (2) separate Emmission manuals from different entities?)

And no--1988 Toyota trucks, 2wd, naturally aspirated(Carburator) do Not require a MIL light.

I literally tore apart the dash looking for the missing light. There was no light. There was no plug for a light. I literally thought I was going crazy. I was so frustrated, I forget to set the emergency brake and the truck rolled out of the garage. I'm lucky I wasen't on a hill and no one got hurt. I did need to buy a $200 bumper though. I'm still thinking about taking the shop to small claims court, but don't think it's worth the effort?

So, if you live in California, and fail Smog--ask questions.
Don't just bring it to another Smog testing station praying it will magically Pass.
ReDsgn.Co – Hand-Picked Redesign Stories
However they gone from PHP to their self hosted language
where it will even be hard to find developers when Hack
won't grow.

Hack is close enough to PHP where it's not hard to find devs who know 90% of the syntax right away -- and PHP syntax is quirky but not hard to learn either.

Furthermore, developers don't need to have history with a specific language to be effective; hiring procedures at companies like Facebook and Google generally don't care what languages your background involved, except that you should be really familiar with some language.

Ultimately Hack made sense because they had a company of folks who've been writing PHP at scale and at speed for a long time. They wanted the subset of PHP that wasn't so unusable, and to make it good and fast. They've largely achieved that. It definitely makes sense.

And they do use other languages: Haskell, Erlang, JVM/C++ where needed.
There were options. You could go to concerts, you could listen to the radio. You could go to free concerts in the park. What you couldn't do was listen to the latest Britney album when and wherever you wanted without going and buying the CD or unethically downloading it off of Napster.

You could tell yourself that you were perfectly justified in doing so. In fact it was Britney's fault for not coming up with easy way for you to pay her and get 128mbit mp3s from your pajamas in your room. But I didn't buy it then, and I don't buy it now.
Couldn't you block any intersection pretty easily with 10 cars dedicated to doing so?
I kinda get the feeling a lot of the content on semi-large websites is curated to bring in more views, playing on their main demographic's idea of what they find interesting instead of what the author is actually interested in. I'd rather listen to someone talk about something that they love than something they think I should love. I feel like that all got lost in the rush to bring in a profit and websites that haven't updated to that style get pushed back because they don't artificially raise interest in what they have to say.
The course is not perfectly flat, but it is perfect for the contest.

The rules for this event stipulate that the track cannot be slopped downhill by more than 0.66%. Conveniently this track averages 0.64% downhill over the entire 5 mile duration. [1]

The story about how Raymond Gauge (what an aptronym!) happened to find this particular stretch of road makes for it's own fascinating big data tale. Months of mining away on USGS tables with Celeron processors to get 10 suitable tracks. A documentary made a few years back went into the specifics with plenty of dramatic shots of him driving the lonely stretches of Nevada, New Mexico, Kansas, etc whittling down his choice candidates until he settled on Battle Mountain.

The biggest limitation in these events is air resistance. Plenty of other folks have gone significantly faster on bicycles not facing a headwind[2]. Altitude helps.

One of my friends does oil exploration work in remote places. Just sent me an email from north of the Arctic Circle off the coast of Norway.

Anyway, he frequently has to do emergency helicopter evac training, and has shown me the pictures. They have x amount of time to escape from a helicopter chassis which is rolled over and dunked upside down into a tank full of freezing water. I don't remember any of the numbers, but I have seen the pictures and it doesn't look like fun at all.

Ironically he used to work on land but that started getting too risky because of where the majority of the work is. Shows how bad it was getting to volunteer for helicopter insertions into a workplace in the North Sea.
> But the usage of "===" is fairly uncommon in most PHP programs.

I don't code PHP anymore, but the use of "===" has been standard practice for ages, and checking for it fully automated.

It's one of the many areas in which uninformed people like to criticize PHP for bad practices that in reality have been left behind a long time ago and are only still supported by the language for backward compatibility reasons.
It happens a lot more to people who don't know the rule.

I agree with the parent. I despise motorcycles for their noise. On a nice spring/summer/fall day, it can be quiet and peaceful where I live (small community of 120k). More often than not, though, that quiet is ruined by a loud annoying motorcycle.

I'll be happy when motorcycles are electric, and therefore silent. If your vehicle can't carry you safely without being unnecessarily noisy, then it just shouldn't be on the road.

I think that the chance of this becoming prevalent is low. While it has its merit as a representation, floating point is already "good enough" for most computations. More importantly, it is ubiquitous.

Additionally, I don't know if there are enough compelling problems that require decimal numbers, can't take the hit of software emulation, and are willing to bind their performance to hardware that would take a while to be adopted, if at all.

I could be wrong though.

That's going to slow down sites even more, but that's the tragedy of the commons: some sites will be obnoxious in the ads they show it forces people to use ad-blockers. That destroys the livelihood of so many people that countermeasures will be developed.

Honestly I think the dynamics of the movie are lost on any generation that was not in the work force at that time. In that period, outside of the valley, a good deal of people would end up working at a Innotec, at some point in their life and it is a soul sucking experience. Working with the mundane individuals who have learned how to work the corporate system but produce nothing can really kill motivation. Further dealing with people who are in charge of decision making, but are obviously incompetent can create a Peter.

Office Space was not about a lazy guy, it was commentary, at the time, about how the faceless enterprise software shop can burn a person out, at it's heart is was a fairly accurate portrayal of burnout, something a majority of developers experience at least once in their life.

It struck a cord with developers of that era and is why it became a cult classic with them. The cast of characters had an uncanny familiarity to may people one would meet in these bad software shops. I think some may be lost in translation now due to the fact that the "Innotecs" where the first shops that packs up and went to Asian.

>Go outside. Seriously. Get some sunlight.

Also exercise and socialize. Care for a pet.

>The key to happiness is this: you get to decide if you're happy or not.

Let's be realistic: this is not fully true, you do not have full control over yourself. Some may need external help and should seek it.

But certainly it's at least partially true. Realize that both happiness and sadness are irrational feelings which emerge from our subconscious. Your rational self can influence them to some degree with knowledge and effort. Listen to the advice from the experience of others: go outside, exercise, socialize. Find something you enjoy doing and do it.

As it turns out, you're guilty of the same thing everyone else is, because you've absolutely missed the point of enabling ad blockers on iPhone

For Apple, it serves two purposes, both of which are hugely anti-competitive. They'll most likely get away with it, due to the fact that they have a minority share of the global smartphone market, but the effect on the marketplace will be drastic.

1) This is an attack on the open web. No matter what anyone says about minority report advertising, ad-supported content is a boon to the public good in that it encourages more sharing and more open sharing of information. Yes, you can go too far, but ad-blockers drastically change the market dynamic. Even the conscientious advertiser is punished by the extremes, which means that the market can not respond to user preferences for ads. In the app store, no such technology will exist, and as such it drives content creators into the walled garden of eden of monetization. There, the market will adapt, and you will be stuck with ads no matter what your preference is, and will have to support ads to the same level as the average user.

2) This is an attack on Google, in many ways. On the one hand it gives Apple an above-average position in the case of their ad network when on their platform (lock-in), on the other hand by starving the open web, they are ultimately starving the future of Google's search technology, helping to erase that advantage.

If we want to go down this route, everyone should be demanding that Apple enable content blockers in apps themselves.
