got it. so the idea is generally people want to do sort-of 2nd derivative queries on the data, so it's best to get those first stats out of the way in the warehousing step
By "developers" did Jack mean other software companies when talking about bringing devs back into the fold?

Yes, this is all irrelevant information.
But carrots are easier than fruit. If you go to apple or orange plantages, you'll often see the ground covered in perfectly good fruit, because it's too expensive to pick it efficiently. 20% doesn't even make it to the shop: http://www.forbes.com/sites/nadiaarumugam/2012/10/04/un-says...

In addition, being able to remove weeds mechanically, rather than chemically, is a big win for health and environment.
Crop insurance is one of the greatest advances in human history. I'm not even being sarcastic. It turns out subsistence farming and dying of starvation was pretty shitty.
Thanks for explaining. I definitely like the pattern accounting for integration tests! That is really nice.
Just curious, but isn't this an understood risk as a publisher when your reach is almost entirely controlled by a single company? Do you guys have a Plan B if Youtube shuts you out?
They were the darling startup of Philadelphia for a while. Proof that Philly could compete and grow successful technology companies. Our hackerspace used them to manage membership dues because PayPal was such a pain in the ass, and we really liked supporting a local business. One of our members was supposedly good friends with one of the founders, got us setup as a non-profit with them so we didn't have to pay transaction fees. A lot of us started using Venmo to share lunch costs both in the space and with our coworkers back at our jobs. I even convinced my landlord to start taking payment through Venmo; he loved it.

I remember hearing Venmo talk in one of the local tech press blogs about how much they loved Philly and were never going to move. Then literally a month later they had moved to NYC.

And then they conveniently "forgot" about our non-profit status, but didn't email anyone about it, and didn't report on the transaction fees in the same data stream as the rest of the app. I was treasurer at the time, and couldn't figure out why my spreadsheet balance tracking all of our accounts didn't match Venmo's balance. I had to do a special data export to find the transaction fees. And that data export was just to a CSV file, one that didn't quote fields with commas or escape newline characters correctly. I seem to remember the export wasn't even on the account page, you had to go find it under some obscure settings page.

I quit using them after that, and haven't looked back. When you're a non-profit, community-owned-and-operated hackerspace (as opposed to a for-profit fab-lab like TechShop), it's really hard to get people to pay their dues on time (or at all). Literally all we needed was money for rent and internet, the management was rotating volunteer basis, nobody got paid. Any amount of money that is expected and doesn't come through is a huge hit to the bottom line.
You're not really refuting his point.

It ultimately comes down to the concept of personal responsibility. Drinking does not absolve one of their subsequent actions and choices, regardless of their subsequent "mental state". Any choice to have an "unsound mind" was made while of sound mind, and thus responsibility for all results lie with the person themselves. Being mentally impaired doesn't magically transform someone into a blameless zombie.

Colleges seem to be doing their best to erode this concept, but I digress.
I think that's my point. Once you get older, this problem drops away. You probably don't have roommates (no need to split rent or utilities) and you probably eat out less often (and when you do, you can split the check).

If you're a parent, you're paying for things that require a check or cash. The check then become's "frictionless" as you already require it.
Fedora usage is falling probably because many previous fedora users are a bit jaded with RedHat, the way systemd has been shimmed into everything

Or you could appreciate that Red Hat funds so many great projects and cares about the future of Linux.

there's no benefit to using fedora over Arch linux anymore

Fedora Workstation is easy to install and has a usable default desktop. No need to tinker with the OS, you can be productive very quickly. Last time I checked, Arch didn't even have an installer.
You can sort of do this today on ios by clicking play on the slide up after it stopping. I never knew it was trying to prevent listening because it works once you hit play.
Essentially they are the same. Technically they are different but they include the other.

They're going to have to do something about uBlock Origin blocking youtube video ads flawlessly before this ever takes off imho.

I installed uBlock a few weeks ago and only recently realized I haven't seen a single youtube video ad since then.
This isn't the first time Youtube has dramatically changed their terms, and forced creators to basically accept them or leave, though... so it is pretty easy to assume the worst when it comes to Youtube.
I'm suggesting that there are no such cryptographic requirements. I'm not alone in making that suggestion; you can, for instance, look up Thomas Pornin's comments on Crypto Stack Overflow for a similar discussion.

I'm sticking with this argument because it is a common one. There's a widespread belief that there are low-quality and high-quality random numbers (or, if you must, "random numbers suitable for one kind of cryptographic application" and "those suitable for another"). I'm pretty sure this is an urban myth.

To me, in this case, the smoking gun is the Solaris team blog post that suggests urandom is appropriate for ephemeral and short-term secrets and nonces, and than random is appropriate for long-term secrets.

Unless they're trying to communicate that random is worse than urandom, and so it's safer to use it in offline scenarios, but not in demanding online scenarios, they have the threat model exactly backwards.
Yet another reason to not be facebook friends with relatives.
Expected to happen at end of year because shareholders basicly insisted on it.

Yahoo owns a minority stake in Alibaba - a huge fast growing company. Yahoo is worth $30 billion but the Alibaba stake is worth $23 billion* and they also have a minority stake in Yahoo Japan worth $2 billion* and $5 billion in cash.

It doesn't make sense for an operating company to hold investments worth many times more than their core business. Yahoo today trades more on what happens to Alibaba than anything Yahoo management has control over. This has perverse effects like huge management incentive bonuses based solely on Alibaba's success. Not to mention they would have saved billions in taxes if they had spun it off years ago.

Not only that, but of how Project Red is often "PRODUCT Red" when partnering with consumer brands.
We often hear that the pricing model is not the only problem. E.g. there are other restrictions like being forced to display the result on a (google) map etc

Also not that you cannot really cache routes, nor could you store all (not even Google) or even just distances or ETAs. But that is also not necessary to get fast and relative 'CPU light' responses.

Then again in plenty of places (at least in western europe) you must have a permanent residence, so a mobile dwelling (whether an RV or a boat) can only be a secondary residence.

No actual evidence to back up the claim, and posted (for the third time now) by a job recruiting site that benefits from job turnover.

And property tax still has nothing to do with corporate income tax, so I don't know what you're talking about.

> Unless you're famous enough that authorities can easily clock the time you spend here or there, determining where you live X days per year in this day and age is extremely difficult.

Not difficult, just expensive. But this is not rocket science: Probably someone who makes more than $100,000 annually and claims to live on a boat, doesn't. So make the fine higher than the cost of the surveillance and go bust all the liars and make back your costs.
So I have a feeling that starting next month they're basically gimping their API on purpose to drive developers toward GNIP, which they bought last year for $134 million. Developers who can afford it anyway, because GNIP is not cheap.

There is a popular twitter API endpoint which is undocumented and unsupported, yet insanely popular due to its functionality. It's the tweet-count-for-URL one; ex: https://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://www...

Twitter is now cancelling that endpoint (on 11/20) and recommending for thousands of developers to switch to their streams API for the functionality, which requires a program to maintain a constant socket connection and listen for filtered URLs to show up. Which, sure, that's a reasonable architecture for some cases.

However, what used to be a simple API-query-for-a-known-URL is now going to be a daemon program running 24/7 for months and months that listens to all of twitter for all conversations about the base domain, and then tries to emulate a count.
Has Dorsey ever apologized to the 'developer' who co-created Twitter and got pushed out by Jack?

The vast majority of hackers are never caught. If the individual makes a habit of doing this without proper opsec, maybe.

It's a lot easier to get away with hacking than most people make it out to be. When I was 14 years old I hacked one of the largest banks in the UK on a laugh with friends in high school using SQL injection. I didn't steal anything, but I did get access to very sensitive information about many members' accounts. It wouldn't have been difficult to do so and get away with it on a compartmentalized burner laptop with a VPN. Most banks write off relatively "small amounts" and simply eat the loss for the customer.

Young kids who have an aptitude for it pull off immature, amateur hacks like this all the time. Based purely on anecdote I'd say there is likely at least one adolescent in virtually every high school in America who has committed some sort of serious computer fraud.

Now I work in the security industry and just yesterday, I found a vulnerability in a website allowing you to use another user's payment because of an insecure direct object reference combined with clearly sequential payment IDs in the database. The methods evolve, but the core systems have stayed more or less the same and it would not be difficult to exploit this one and get away with it either.

People think this stuff is hard to get away with because of the sensationalized mystique surrounding it in the media. Unless you're very loud, incompetent or a big enough target, it just doesn't usually happen. I've personally spoken to "blackhat" groups that have cleared a few million dollars in a year, allowing each member a roughly top-1% income after laundering for a few hours of "work" per week. They're still around.
Right, but back then it was a vague threat kind of looming over peoples' heads. Now it's "Sign this deal or we remove you from YouTube."
You might be interested in a side project I've been working on: http://indiecult.tv

It's basically what you describe, but the payments are also weighted by user rating. I'm dealing with a chicken and egg problem on content, so there's not much there, but keep an eye on it over the next couple of months...
"the vast, vast majority of revenue"

...for now. You don't boil a frog by turning the heat up all the way. Once you get people fully locked in and dependent on your platform by having both content AND viewership, you can have much greater ability to change agreements/pricing until there is a viable competitor.
Serious question: Can someone please sit on top of a surface and surfacebook (in a closed position)?

These devices have thinner-than-ever glass (and in case of sb, an air gap) and i am concerned that carrying them in a backpack can get them destroyed by other books/whatever. Would be great to find out otherwise :)
I've yet to see a payment app reach any major usage in my social network, which is extremely fragmented among Google Wallet, Snapcash, PayPal, Square Cash, Popmoney, Simple, bank-specific apps i.e. Chase Mobile... (Weirdly enough I don't know anyone using Venmo, though I'm familiar with it from HN and the like.) It seems like everyone wants a simple payment app, but there's a huge 'sign-up fatigue' from the fragmentation, and no single app has reached a useful saturation. I wish I were seeing the "viral spread" others see and don't really even care much about feature parity. :\
My understanding is, if you don't sign the deal, your videos won't show for people on the ad-free site.

How else could you implement this? If I buy a subscription for an ad-free site, it can't mean that it's ad-free except for videos posted by people who haven't signed the contract.
Yeah, I don't think anyone was ever confused about Twitter's relationship with developers, or thought that it was unpredictable.
Members of the editorial board of scientific journals are not paid. So nothing prevents having a completely free and open access journal, which is peer reviewed. As a matter of fact, such journals already exist in some fields (e.g. the Journal of Machine Learning Research[1], which is the best journal in machine learning).

There is no reason to believe governments taking part in these races to the bottom are more efficient. (I would actually expect them to be more corrupt, on the average, as dictatorships are probably over-represented.)

The main problem with this sort of "competition" is these tax breaks for big companies creates a very unfair competition for small companies, which doesn't operate on the required scale to profit from them.
Isn't this basically the telcos admitting they don't protect the privacy of "normal" customers?
not sure if I buy this, while the idea sounds cool the complexity of that gripper tells me that there have to be simpler means to grip fruit without damaging it that would be faster, something along the lines of suction mechanisms where you can stack many of them; like on a roller.

What I am getting at is, besides the obvious complexity of the "hand" is how many can you fit into the area and how fast can they move the product? Identifying the good product from bad isn't hard, many food production lines do that and blow off items they don't want.
A month for those annoyed by this frustrating omission.

True but GP is talking about "a centuries long-standing practice".
23andMe can do whatever they want with your data. It totally boggles my mind that someone would give a private company legal, full, and complete access to what makes you, you. We're still in the infancy of understanding what we can do with our genomes. Giving all our information over to an entity without a fiduciary responsibility to protecting your personal data is just idiotic.
Wow. Took them long enough, but I really appreciate a big site experimenting with replacing ads by real money.

Of course, Google has a pretty solid process for low-amount online payments, though.

Because I've seen lots of other handwriting, even if in another language. I have very strong priors.

The problem is that a computer comes in without knowing anything about tangential phenomenon. So it needs lots of data to catch up to me and my years of forming associative connections about other handwriting I've seen.

If I showed you alien (ie not human) handwritten samples, you'd probably stuggle too.

For starters, not every country is the US, we don't all have vast hordes of illegals willing to work for next to nothing.

Secondly, and without wanting to start a political thread, the US might not either soon because President Trump.

Overall there's a point at which this becomes economical (just as there was a point at which automated harvesting of every other crop became economical starting with the 19th century) and it depends on labour costs in each country. It won't be super-soon, but it will happen eventually.
Bracing now for the Facebook clickbait posts about a supposed link between nanotubes and autism.
Why does it seem it's only Twitter with this problem? (or at least the most frequent and public).

Twitter "hoses" developers all the time who were making money based on apps supporting Twitter. They "hose" the developer because Twitter would rather make that money instead of allowing others to, yet they then fail to capitalize on the vacuum they just created.

Over time, it's made Twitter a seemingly very unattractive platform to try to dev against. Twitter doesn't make much in terms of earnings on their own, it seems it would be in their best interest to allow an ecosystem around their platform.
As I've said somewhere down the thread, OSRM has the same functionality and speed is supreme. Microsoft Research paper I've cited is equivalent to 5 reads of memory and needs about 20GB RAM for the whole Europe. It's a pretty good cache.

>For example, in cycling there are lower weight limits on the bike. If not for that, all the research would go into making bikes as light as possible since it directly translates into lower power for a given speed.

Aero is much more important than weight. Pro bikes often come in slightly above the UCI weight limit, because an extra few hundred grams is a worthwhile tradeoff for a reduction in drag. In other forms of cyclesport, the weight limit is irrelevant. The weight limit was introduced primarily for safety reasons, and the UCI are considering abolishing it after the introduction of frame homologation testing.

>the growing popularity of disc brakes on road bikes

This has nothing to do with racing. Disc brakes are currently banned in road racing, with limited exceptions for ProTour teams performing testing. Road discs were driven by marketing, not competition.

>Sometimes restrictions actually serve to amplify the technology used.

The UCI's technical regulations have been a consistent barrier to progress, from the recumbent ban of 1934 to the aspect ratio rules of 2009. The UCI explicitly declared their opposition to technological progress in the Lugano charter. There is now considerable pressure for the UCI to abolish the charter, both from within and without the organisation.

First thing: remove those ridiculous usage limits for individual clients, so that anyone using a 3rd party app can use it like he wants and not having the app suddenly turned off because it reached 100k users.
The difference is that Google allows you to sign up for things in apps without using the Play store IAP integration. Apple does not. This is why you cannot buy Kindle books from the Kindle app on iOS, you must go to Amazon's site on your own. On Android the Kindle app includes a full store (not just on Amazon's Android devices).
Once Yahoo was willing to stop development of their own search engine and ad platform, I knew they were doomed.

Yahoo's ad service was a lot nicer than MSFT Ad Center and nearly as nice as AdWords. They gave up on one of the most strategic positions they had.

There is a pile of other stupidity there before and after that others could speak about, but with Yahoo making a deal with Google, it will only continue to be dumb.

I believe the entire culture, history, and everything at Yahoo is predisposed to failure and is beyond fixing. It's like a losing sports team who has a history and culture of losing. It takes an entire overturning of everything usually to fix it.
