I believe the primary difference can be summarized in two words - data analytics. Twitter has a ton more analytics options for its users than WhatsApp appears to have mostly because, like Google, Twitter is more of an advertising platform than a utility platform as far as its actual business model goes. WhatsApp is potentially b2c as a business while I'd argue Twitter is really b2b. My experience with enterprise businesses makes it hard for me to believe that going b2b is actually efficient as much as it is about revenue assurance and scaling for sales / marketing culture organizations.
Maybe people will move out of the deserts and go where there actually is all kinds of water. Like most of the old Rust Belt.
POP was horrible, IMAP made things much better, but the web clients had already won.

A modern desktop client is much better than a modern webmail client when it's available. It's interesting that desktop clients have been continualy improving, while web clients have been continualy getting worse.

Anyway, both have their use.
I left SLB few months ago , and during my stay there I was exposed to most of their MWD tools. I worked both in the maintenance and field engineering organization. Please note that all MWD(D&M) tools are expected to withstand 150 degC however some high temperature tools could get up to 170 degC. But this is just industry standard (Baker, Halliburton, and others have such).Their electronics technology has been around for decades, however SLB started off(recently) making incremental improvement and at same time incorporating new technologies. Please don't use the word "see" because there is nothing radical here or new. MWD tools are just sensors.. magnetometers, accelerators, strain gauges , FPGA and some basic electronics power system. In some cases you may have transmitters and receivers oriented to a particular frequency range. MWD tools have sensors in the same family as what we have in a smart phone.

Here's the wording about the OS:

This new operating system will be able to analyze everything happening on a rig in real time, boosting both efficiency and safety. It also serves to lock customers into a single ecosystem that the company hopes will act as an incentive to use Schlumberger services and (now) equipment for all their drilling needs.

So their requirement is real-time. Their real requirement though is vendor lock-in. They're really just looking for a way to lock companies into their platform so that the cost of switching is prohibitive. That's a way of decreasing safety and efficiency. I think the real-time requirement is just a cover for them to increase their customer retention through the worst way possible.

Offering a little "extra" to the client in the form of lock-in is despicable.

Old-school operators in the energy space are all about going with “the best in breed” equipment and service providers. They have deep relationships with salesmen in certain companies and tend to be very loyal to them, so it will be hard to sell many of them on the idea of buying from just one source.

Oh I see, they're exchanging gifts at different levels and if you lock yourself into one vendor you won't be able to get a wide variety of gifts for closing a sale.

I wonder how "best of breed" is measured, if it's measured at all or if it's just based on marketing and sales brochures.

Yeah it was the biggest challenge, how to gently move liquid and not "expose" the mechanism behind it so it looks that liquid is moving on its own. I have a lot more videos, feel free to send me an email stankovicdamjan@gmail.com i will share. My plan is to publish the making of presentation by the end of this week
That's why you make sure all operations you do are bidirectional.
The examples in the article are all about the rust belt...

Most cities' core water systems are 50-100 years old or more. Every time you read about a water main break, it's a good reminder that the local water system probably needs some updates.
Yeah, when there is no number it turns to big blobs of liquid that actually touch walls of the screen on both sides, so i guess its bigger than 10mm in that case
Ten dollars is nothing. As others have noted publication charges tend to run more in the thousands.

And talking of programming tools, like git, and gerrit for academic papers is completely off base. Most mathematicians will never even have heard of git.

The "free" version is something like what the episcience project is attempting.

Edit: And as yet others have said, it's crucial, especially in a structurally very conservative field like mathematics, to stay as close to the conventional model as possible.
Because he's not paying them, I guarantee they're all 'profit share' deals. And 99/100 devs who ask an artist to make free assets for them do it because their app can't even come close to paying the rent for the dev himself, let alone generate enough revenue to pay the artist. Asking the artist to do it for free is the only way, artists know this, they know they'll never get paid and aren't interested in wasting their time.

This guy for example, let's be clear... he's released a single game, for free, which got about 250 downloads in total in the past few months (the period for most apps where you get 90% of your downloads). In short, he may have generated $5-10 in advertising or inapp purchase revenue. Now realise that he lives in SF, needs a Mac and a $100 license to even package and publish an empty app, and probably spent a few weeks (if he's experienced) or a few months (more likely) on this app, and quit his job as a web developer to do so. He'll likely never break even on the $100 license to publish to the app store, let alone actually earn the $10k he'd need at minimum to live in SF, work on the project for a few months and pay an artist. That's why profit sharing exists, and artists don't buy it for obvious reasons.

Exceptions exist either if the developer has a reputation or relationship with the artist (not applicable for OP), or if the game is highly original and tons of fun and has a chance of blowing up (Wordsum, with all due respect, is a generic word game. I've built a few similar games myself.) But in general (and in his case), no artist is going to be interested in pursuing that.

Some artists might be willing to do a quick altruistic job for a starting dev (especially a teenager), like spend 30 minutes doing some generic buttons for a menu, or simple vector nature backdrops made up of existing assets. Often they simply want to build their portfolio or build an asset they sell on an asset website, these aren't steady long-term relationships that last, they're one offs that fade.
Except you probably do need this if your site allows posting of user generated content, because spammers love these throwaway email addresses.
I think there's a difference between, say, NASA tweeting about its mission and other examples the article uses.

If NASA isn't promoting the mission it's been tasked to do, telling us about their progress and their challenges, then who will? NASA telling the public this stuff is part of their job, so the public knows. Also, it's not hard to deduce what NASA's slant on going to space is: of course they're for it. It's easy for us to interpret the message in light of the messenger.
I've encountered some bad routing with OVH, but so I've done with other service providers too. I guess most of people don't even notice those fails, because they don't have constant automated monitoring. Usually NOC such problems pretty quickly.
A lack of gravitational waves would mean information can travel infinitely fast, a Lorentz violation. There's no evidence in QM (or anywhere, really) that this is true.
I find the population stats a bit bizarre. Why is the percentage of population by country taken into consideration rather than the percentage of people who identify as Muslim? For instance, although Muslims are only about 14% of the Indian population, that 14% constitutes almost 11% of Muslims in the whole world. That's the largest number of Muslims in a non-islamic country. However judging solely by the graphic (I didn't see a link to the study), it appears as though Indian Muslims are not represented.
The Petapixel article shows some fairly dramatic issues in -- as you mentioned -- supposedly low detail areas.

Absolutely. But a think tank is an opinions-for-hire racket, whether conservative or liberal. So it's useful to note the source.
If the government didn't spread its propaganda, then private institutions and individuals would be free to disseminate their own. It's not about controlling or avoiding the conversation, just being part of it. The administration in any government - democracy or otherwise - has a reasonable self-interest in persuading the public to support its goals. As long as claims can be verified as such, I don't see why it's a problem.

Exception: someone could make a bold-faced lie to a large audience for sensation and later make their honest correction in a place nobody would look.
Unacceptable? Offensive?

I'm not sure how I could have been any more explicit there. I explicitly said I enjoy reading news about TempleOS.

So clearly I accept them even though I don't like his racial epithets one bit. They're just one (somewhat unavoidable) facet of the whole TempleOS phenomenon.

I guess I don't understand why people selectively find it so offensive.

There's a big difference between fictional characters in movies and Huckleberry Finn (a book I love!) using slurs and a guy like Terry using slurs in earnest in a non-fiction setting.

Huckleberry Finn is a create example, actually. Huck uses the n-word freely, but he is an unreliable narrator, and Mark Twain's stories about Huck often parody the shitty racial attitudes of many white Americans at that time.

>>They, like us were arming the rebels. ISIS "formally" split from the Free Syrian Army in late 2013:

That is not ISIS but Al Nusra - ISIS was not in Syria at the time (at least not openly in such large numbers). Both organisations are quite different in composition, tactics and ambition (ISIS in Syria depends a lot on foreign fighters whereas Al Nusra is more grassroots)

>>In the same way that Bin Laden is a direct consequence of our actions in 80s Afghanistan. ISIS is a direct consequence of our half-arsed dicking about in Syria.

Basically my original point. ISIS is an UNINTENDED consequence of western dicking in Iraq and mostly middle-eastern (with strong western support) dicking in Syria. (When will they learn?) I don't think any country actually intentionally supported them.

>ISIS only works in a vacuum, Plus if we are going to be brutally honest, on the scale of 0 - 10 (full ISIS) Suadi Arabia is about a 6-6.9

For the longest time i thought they were a bunch of religious nutjobs too. But lot of their actions didn't make much sense from that perspective (For example from 2013 -2015 why were they more focussed on attacking other anti-assad rebels than assad himself?). After reading this, it started making more sense:-

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/islamic-state-file...

The above article has some holes as well, but it still seems to be the theory that makes the most sense.

The whole religious nutjob thing was largely a show put on for the benefit of their followers and enemies. The core of the organisation seems to be made up of Baathists, and their tactics and modus operandi reflect that background. Of course noone would actually support a Baathist resurgence so they adopted a religious cloak to hide their true nature.
Neat. It would be helpful if you could go in the opposite direction (enter RGB values and get the name of the closest color). I find that when I'm making a chart or graph and I cook up some color in GIMP, I don't know how to refer to that color in the text of the document that references the chart.
For now Mud Pulse telemetry is well researched and pretty reliable technology. But I would not make a hazard guess what will happen tomorrow.

I built this kind of check into my ecommerce sites for high-value items. They're disproportionally susceptible to fraud and carding for some reason, and implementing a "no free email provider" check has cut fraud on those items to zero.
Having recently done this what I like to do is perform some actions, and follow it through the codebase. So for example on a web project, what happens when I hit the index page? First it hits the router/dispatcher, it is handed off to this controller, the controller calls the database. Etc.

So for the chromium project I'd try to work my way through, by performing an action. Then asking how it is performed, and follow the code through.

Hope this helps.
How I Got and Lost a VC Job Offer in 72 Hours
No it is not. My taking exception to constant use of the word "nigger" as a deliberate form of abuse and noting it is what it is. There will be some who won't know it and will dig into it and wonder why it escaped without so much as a mention. They might actually be hurt by it. I've said why I take exception, making people feel unwelcome who I think should be made to feel welcome.

I've said maybe he doesn't mean it because he's in need of psychological help, perhaps help of a kind that it wholly unavailable at this point in history. This is a tragedy but it doesn't make it acceptable.

Political correctness is something else entirely. Political correctness is it being unacceptable to have dissenting views from the powerful. The phrase comes from, I believe, the China of the 1970s. People who were deemed politically incorrect were treated very badly indeed by a pretty hideous and oppressive regime. It's something quite different from the right to claim my kind are superior to yours while being free of criticism for saying so. It's something different to saying the phrase 'political correctness' as an excuse to be abusive.

I do not object to this man's dissenting political views. He is unwell. He is abusive of people I would wish to make welcome. Look around at the demographic again at any conference, any place of work in this industry. I don't buy arguments that skin melanin or estrogen make for poor engineers, I know some do.

Given I'm not buying that, pointing out abusive behaviour and noting that is pretty awful doesn't seem unreasonable or oppressive of legitimate alternate points of view to me. Does it really to you? I doubt strongly there is any abuse I could direct at you that would make you doubt yourself. Would it were so for those smarter but less confident that you or me.

I am not saying suppress the story, that this story should not be here, just that we shouldn't pretend that awfulness isn't there.

If on the other hand you find racism, of the most gross kind, acceptable as long as it's not directed at a specific person on HN you and I diverge views quite strongly at that point.

For the last five years I've worked myself to the bone, mostly unpaid, to solve the "bufferbloat" problem - first by organizing and leading the team that solved it, and giving away, for free, the ideas and code for anyone to use! And I've spent tons of time later convincing standards organizations like the IETF to make the ideas standard in new equipment - and also open source makers like openwrt to retrofit the fq_codel and cake fixes into millions of older yet upgradable home routers, and helping ISPs, vendors and chipmakers understand the both the need for the fq_codel fixes, and how to implement them.

There is nothing new here ..... They already have the technology but fragmented .. They have been streaming real-time data to clients and their support centers for over a decade now. Now they want to package all that as one... pretty business strategy. But I guess they would not fool anyone.

It had been widely known for at least a decade that all the automakers were "optimizing" ECU software for better mileage during testing.

In retrospect, it shouldn't have been so surprising that they were doing the same for emissions testing too.

What is still surprising is why they thought they could get away with it forever. That no one would ever test any of the millions of vehicles they produced.
Many of the "tricks" this book indicts aren't good hacks and aren't easily formulated as theorems. They are terrible hacks that are ridiculously inefficient, distracting, and only necessary if you fundamentally don't understand what's actually going on.

See "Butterfly Method, Jesus Fish" or "Backflip and Cartwheel":

http://www.nixthetricks.com/NixTheTricks2.pdf

They're both super inefficient tricks that are totally unnecessary if you know and understand the theorem they embody.

> If I can explain and justify the trick - then let me use it.

This book is a guide for teachers, not a rule book for students.

For the tricks that are arguably good hacks, the authors provide a simple argument: the time investing in teaching the trick is not worth it, and is better spent somewhere else (see the Jim Doherty quote just before the TOC).

The argument isn't that students should not be allowed to use certain theorems if they understand those theorems. Rather, the argument is that teachers should invest their finite teaching resources explaining other theorems instead.

Often, the authors are arguing that there is an equivalent and equally useful formulation of the same theorem (or a similar one) that's easier to derive and understand. Which is the sort of justification any working mathematician should be on board with (they don't need to agree with the conclusion, but the form of the justification is at least reasonable).

> This mode of thinking does not apply to mathematics.

But this does apply in education writ large. E.g. sacrificing understanding for good performance on a standardized test.

This is not a book telling you how you should do mathematics in your work day. It's a book advocating for certain ways of allocating classroom teaching time.
An important point about racing cars is how completely their performance is determined by the rules of the series. Hybrids dominating says more about the details of the rules than about hybrids.

I didn't suggest he should be ignored, I didn't notice anyone who did either.
I wonder what the chances are for something like this taking off. On the one hand it is popular for politicians around the globe to criticize the U.S. surveillance programs - on the other hand, most governments probably want the same kind of power over their own citizens that mass surveillance can give them.

Governments which don't currently have the technical means to run these kind of programs might be more likely to sign up.

I really hope some country will step up soon and get the ball rolling.

Elsevier et al have so far played very nice with arXiv, for instance by not demanding that papers submitted to Elsevier journals not appear on it.

Technically the arxiv may right now be illegally hosting many thousands of papers whose authors actually ticked a box granting exclusive publication rights to Elsevier. Or any number of other journals. Elsevier benignly neglects this, but if you really start threatening their business model then they can make life very difficult for the arXiv.
