What exactly is the revenue model for this?

Most likely a cut-and-paste of what they believe the Yelp model to be. And probably without a realistic estimate of how much labor will go into policing it. If the public can currently get their jollies off of gaming existing review systems for goods and restaurants, they'll jump at the chance to do the same for individuals.

Really, the question should be: "how much personal harm will be caused by this before the money will run out?"

Note that for any large C++ codebase, you still have to reason about things like borrows (or equivalent/similar concepts), just that the language doesn't explicitly talk about them. Rust just makes it all explicit from the get-go.

And actually, borrowing isn't really complicated, just _different_.
Im tempted just to turn the axis off and make a box showing total counts. Getting things to line up is always a pain. Yuck!

Thanks for reporting the bug.
The same thing is happening in the USA. It definitely feels like you must be in one of around 5-10 cities or you don't exist. If you don't go to one of them for at least part of your career, you go nowhere and command half or less the pay. The rest of America is "flyover country" where people supposedly live but nothing happens.

This effect has always existed to some extent, but the "alpha cities" phenomenon is definitely something I've watched intensify as I've grown up. I've asked older people about this and they've agreed: in the past 15-ish years the prestige value of where you live has exploded in relevance.

Here are some examples from the tech field:

- The first true "PC" by most accounts, the Altair, came from Albuquerque, New Mexico.

- The Compucolor II was the first "color" PC by many accounts and came from Atlanta, Georgia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compucolor_II

- The IBM PC was designed in Boca Raton, Florida.

- The BBS phenomenon was largely decentralized, with major BBS efforts all of the world.

- The Commodore 64, the biggest selling PC in the early-mid 80s, was from West Chester, Pennsylvania.

Can you imagine that today?

Now almost everything happens in SF, a notable but much smaller number of things happen in NYC, Boston, and LA/OC, and nothing happens anywhere else (or so it seems).

I'm not sure exactly why this is. It could be a side-effect of increasing wealth disparity: the alpha cities are where the rich live, and the rich are increasingly richer than everyone else. Another factor could be the Internet. The net was supposed to decentralized, but as we've seen in other areas this has not always been the case. The net has been a powerful centralizing force.

>No way to detect at compile-time whether we are in the main thread

Which languages do that? Other than requiring all functions to require a "mainthread" reference (perhaps a zero-sized type that lacks the traits to be sent cross-thread) are there ways to achieve this in general?
Thanks for the reply and the links. The approach taken by Robust links is close to what I had in mind in regards to actually archiving the content. Looks like its a good solution to content drift and it's more passive than webcite. The timestamp benefit is also great. Maybe you could also include some sort of hash on the local end so maybe users could see at a glance if the nearest archive differs at all. Of course that's limited since it uses external archives and might not work with dynamically generated pages. I'll have to check out your comment [0], which seems like a lot of thought went into it, and the research paper.

This is actually more convenient sometimes. I already have one of these FOBs permanently attached to my computer. It's a tiny pieces that fit into usb and only protrudes a couple of milimiters. Since I have this always connected all I have to do is touch it and I'm in. Takes me less than once second while taking my phone, opening the app and typing the code by hand takes 10-20 seconds.

The downside is that it takes a USB port, which is one of the reasons I hated this years MacBook so much.

It's pretty easy to defeat this. No bacteria would likely be able to indiscriminately consume all different types of plastic, regardless of the substantial differences in molecular composition. It is very common in the plastics industry to make multi-layered plastics (for things like oxygen barriers to protect meat, for example), so it would be a simple task of producing film with a thin layer of nonconsumable plastic protecting the consumable material.

Of course, dealers don't want to target their own customers.

Every other network's customers, well, that's just part of targeting the competition's business more generally.

35k average salary might not tell the whole story. e.g. the median figure for inner London is about 34k, bit below the average, but for outer London it's 24k. Then consider that inner London is about 3 of 8.5 million people, and 12 of 32 boroughs, so I wouldn't be surprised if the median salary for all of London was below 30k.

Of course salary doesn't truly matter much in the city of finance, a huge chunk of the city's income is not linked to wages or derived from wage labor.

Anyone considering moving to London has to appreciate that the city is partially tuned for a group of people for whom a base salary isn't the main source of income, and if that's not you then it's a bit like living in a giant auction house full of millionaires and they're auctioning off everything you need, from sandwiches, a home to live in to a public transport card, and the rich guys keep bidding 5x the national average on any item and more rich people enter the auction house every day, buying anything becomes a struggle.
It's a wishlist, and the OP is a prominent member of the Rust community. Most of those things are minor pain points (he even mentions "None of these are critical.") that he hopes can be improved on.

I have a form of cystic fibrosis. People with cystic fibrosis sometimes die from infections that normal people simply do not get. I looked up some of these infections, and some of them are used by scientists to biodegrade petrochemical spills because they eat petrochemicals. Plastics come from petrochemicals.

So I quit driving and I avoid styrofoam, etc. My hypothesis is that people with CF get these infections because we hang onto petrochemical residues greater than average. I want as little as possible to do with them. I have gradually gotten healthier.

Based on that, my guess is that if you do not have CF and do not have an inordinately high level of plastics/petrochemicals in your system, you are probably not at risk from microorganisms that biodegrade such things. For most humans, these microogarnisms are not dangerous. In fact, some of the infections that kill people with CF are incredibly common -- literally as common as dirt and found in dirt -- and are generally deemed harmless to normal humans.
Coal...

Or I should say lignin was once like plastic. Nothing could break it down, and huge coal formations were formed because of it.

But, nothing lasts forever. There will come a day when plastics can be broken down much more easily than they are now.

Yes but the more money at stake, the more violence is fueled. There's a big difference between corrupt traffic cops (Mexico in the 70s) and narcos cutting the heads off of dozens of bodies and hanging them from an overpass (Mexico today). The Zetas never would have formed if it weren't for the billions of dollars available from cartel activities. The US can't legalize drugs soon enough for me, and I don't even drink alcohol.

Well GYP stands for "generate your projects". And I think it has actually been replaced by the "gn" build system, which does look a bit like Blaze, but with non-Python syntax.

I think GYP is more like a build system generator than a build system. It was more like autoconf (although quite different semantically). The original goal was to generate Visual Studio and XCode projects. And it also generates Ninja files.

Blaze/Bazel is not as portable, since it doesn't do Windows.

Not sure this will work out as planned. Theres no collateral against a college degree. If I buy a house, default on my mortgage, the bank owns the title and it can sell my house and I lose out in any value the house had. If my student loans were discharged during bankruptcy, I would still retail the value of the degree. Even if they revoke the actual degree, I still hold the knowledge. The result is that I basically hold all the value while someone else holds all the risk. Thats how you get colleges raising rates to cover risks instead of lowering them.
Spokeo | devops engineering | Full-Time | Pasadena, CA

We are looking for a Sr Systems Engineer (devops) who understands and embraces the devops philosophy, can work closely with dev teams and is comfortable with cloud based infrastructure. If you're excited about building big data architectures and creating a PaaS then you should talk to us.

Our tech stack includes (but not limited to):

* Dev: Ruby, Python, Perl or Go

* Config Management (ansible)

* AWS (or other cloud providers)

* CI/CD

* Docker

* Monitoring

* Spark/Hadoop/Elastic Search/Cassandra/Kafka

* Netflix OSS stack, Jenkins

* IaaS/PaaS
This is a good point.

I guess that I think once you share it a few times and it's used regularly, then it becomes fairly public knowledge. Maybe this is a mis step from password security.

I would agree with you except for the fact that the Chinese economy will be large enough to support a military equalling or surpassing that of the US. That's basically what the article is saying: economic ascendancy often results in a military build-up, and when it does, conflict often follows. China is spending heavily on their military to exert their will, and given current trends will be able to overtake the US on military spending in the next decade or two. Whether that results in conflict is largely up to the US, in my mind.

Also, post-WWII Japan was more or less a vassal state of the US, so we kept their military ambitions in check. We don't have any US military bases in China, so we can't do that there.
Hey there. Thanks! Rustdoc can _certainly_ use way more improvements. Many of the things you've expressed are here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Ais... I would love to re-write all of Rustdoc, frankly, but haven't been able to. Even just re-doing the HTML/CS/JS would be pretty great, I think. There are never enough hours in the day.

As for non-API docs, https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/739 is the tracking issue. Also great to have, also just needs someone to come along and do it.
