To be fair, they may have wanted a lower profile game to make sure the service didn't go down under the weight.

If anyone remembers what twitch.tv was like a few years ago it used to stutter during most regular LCS broadcasts.

Now they handle the finals without any problem. (I heard they had a major re-architecture a couple of years ago, and certainly there did seem to be a sudden major improvement.)

Going back further, this experiment: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/8286... to stream an England qualifier live was a bit of a disaster (although I'm finding it hard to dig up any reviews from the time), although it had both a high price point (£5 pre-ordered, rising to £12 on the day!) and back then the technology really wasn't ready for good quality live streaming.
Most cleaning services aren't Merry Maids and aren't getting anything resembling 300%.

You're right: the Cheung story from that page is much more compelling than the one in the lede of this article. For those who haven't clicked through: Cheung and her partner started a cleaning service (with them as the cleaners), and Cheung took a job at a cleaning service to learn the ropes.
It really isn't as simple as adding a checkbox. Just think about the design implications...
Germany was struggling with the reunification, having added 20 Million people from a collapsed country, the German Democratic Republic. That was difficult enough.

Currently there are no special labor restrictions for EU citizens in Germany.
The idea with building safe systems is not to imagine what could cause subsystem X to fail, but to figure out how to cope when subsystem X fails.

The most obvious design failure at Fukushima was not "how big a tsunami we should protect against" but not asking "how will we cope when the seawall fails".

If the critical backup generators had been in a bunker designed to protect them from a seawall breach, the disaster would not have happened.
All I want is to be able to pick my team, pay like $15/mo and be able to watch my team play. I don't care about any other team at all, and my team isn't local by any means so I can't use an antenna. AFAIK, I don't have a legal option to watch my team play unless I grab an overpriced cable/satellite plan that I don't want. GamePass isn't for the US (if I remember correctly), and even if it were, the pricing is terrible and has the issues you mentioned.

My only option is shady SD streams. It's better than nothing, but I'm willing to throw money at the problem if they'll let me.

Ok. What are you passionate about? What is your background now?
Leave it to USA Today to produce drivel like this. From the article, "But that misses an important point. It’s the intangible qualities of military experience that are the most valuable. If you survive the Army’s Ranger School or a year of combat in Anbar province, Iraq, you have probably demonstrated a level of intestinal fortitude that goes beyond what is required to roll out the latest iPhone app."

Aside from the fact that the above is laughably specious, what exactly are those intangibles? One important intangible is that the military places a tremendous emphasis on rule-orientation and institutional rigidity. I can hardly think of less desirable qualities in most employees, especially in a startup.

When this info first came out - I was under the impression that he was going to have fairly exclusive access to license some tech that the NSA had made - and a bunch of people balked at this as NSA is technically a public entity and as such, should not preclude anyone else from gaining access to the same IP -- further, it was argued that as a public entity they should not be charging fees to access the IP.
I think that's still the target.

The "good architecture" there is to begin by making things general and then build specialisation on top of that. This is essentially what the author was saying.

At that point its an implementation detail if you have your CSS in one file or many. I think what the author is talking about is when you choose a module structure that is orthogonal to that. That is the square peg that he is referring to, by my interpretation.

"Too heavy" seems like it should be qualified—maybe you mean they are "too heavy to use for widget-level components in a web app with the current implementations"?

That's a weaker claim, and leads to the question of what they might be good for right now. I imagine for example Stripe's payment widget could be a pretty nice use case? In other words, higher-level widgets that are substantially encapsulated already, and are already often loaded as remote resources.

But I've only looked a little at the W3 specs and haven't tried using them in reality.
http2 may help you with that. Your tooling could also potentially inline the components too, you don't have to make an http request for each one. That fact that Vulcanize didn't work too well for you for whatever reason seems like something that shouldn't be terribly difficult to fix.
Interesting -- a prior 2012 story relating to Bordne. I guess in hind sight he knew more than he was letting onto then if this all turns out to have some truth to it.

Bordne also recounted some of it earlier this year in March but it didn't seem to get picked up much:

The scenario is given to give our brains some concrete situation to think about, because asking 'would kill one to save five' is not something we can apparently relate to. The problem is that the decision making model in my brain, moral or not, is not trained for dealing with life or death situations. So I cannot relate at all, and in the end this test doesn't measure anything useful.
The comparison to Onagawa makes it clear enough that they are talking about when it was built. They wouldn't have had so much more experience in 1968 than when they did the early design work for Fukushima Dai-ichi.
It's part of your API design, if they are recoverable or not. You should lean towards recoverable: if the caller can't recover, they can always do something with it. But some kinds of problems are non-recoverable.
It does address both. Electric cars eliminates emissions and highly efficient routing of car pods will be more efficient than any train.
Etsy is a weird case. I'd never, ever have thought there's so many such good people in a company that initially seemed to me to be a random eBay-like store for selling trinkets. And yet, it turns out they have serious talent and post a lot of very interesting tech stuff.
Yes, I even know people around here that would let dogs lick wounds, -said it healed them. And this is at the top of the world. For some reason I never wanted to try that (I use Iodine in water or alcohold : )
Multiple commenters say "The title is a joke" -- but Keen is just reporting the direct implication of the Arrow Debreu theorems which economists regard as foundational for economic theory (not practice or empirical analysis).

So maybe a literal title would be "Economists prove that Economic Theory says Free Markets are Unnecessary". The joke is on mainstream economic theory.
Thanks for the feedback. Namely, there's a number of other product ideas I think could be higher growth that I'd like to explore. Recently moved to SV from a fly-over state, and think may finally have the potential to leverage an SV network for mentorship/advice.

A lot of the feedback I've gotten from founders has broken down in the following sense: if the person has grown and sold a company before of >= 10M ARR, they typically say shut it down ASAP and move on. If the founder has never grown and sold a business before, they advise to keep it running.
Why is that?

I am German - and I support the acceptance of refugees because of rationality, history, culture and especially morality.
FWIW I (GP) have two kids and totally agree with this:

"Parenting science is like nutrition science. Lots of studies, little consensus. Just ignore it".

I'm just too weak to resist such low hanging joke opportunities.
I'm pretty sure I could do more damage with one rifle and a handful armor-penetrating rounds than with a bomb, without ever firing at--or even seeing--another human. I expect that a network attacker can do 95% of that kind of damage more remotely, but perhaps also more preventably, just using a computer. I think I could probably even forget about the rifle, and just wreak some havoc with just stuff that could be purchased at Home Depot, without even a whiff of suspicion.

It's a really good thing that I know I'm rather dependent on all that infrastructure for my easy lifestyle, and I have no good reason to go around destroying any of it.

So what I fear more than anything is someone as smart as or smarter than me, who has acquired individual motive to cause a huge amount of damage to public infrastructure.

Blowing up a high-profile building full of people, or going on a shooting rampage that leaves a bloody trail behind you, are good for getting into the news articles, but save us all from that guy out to cause sheer financial damage instead of human casualties. Soldiers are scary, but those guys that sit back, dreaming up new weapons, are simply terrifying. [0][1][2][3][4]

You don't really want to watch angry, gullible young men with a grudge. You need to watch out for that guy who can write "airliner = cruise missile; cost: ~$500" on a sticky note, then immediately move on to dream up some other way to hurt you.

The bottom 160 million Americans live better than billionaires did 100 years ago.
Awesome. I guess my daughters will need SSRIs and assorted drugs to get them through life. Just bleeping great.
To answer the question: maybe, somewhat? There's a pretty big difference between that and an actual dress code though, which is far worse. Wearing a suit at a tech company might draw a few weird glances or comments, but it won't get you fired outright. Wearing casual clothes at a bank will.

The fact that the culture isn't absolutely, consistently accepting is unfortunate, but it's much better than what came before.

I'm sure a bias exists, but it's subtle. It's the sort of thing that if you expect, you'll see more.

> They smile when the quirky and brilliant hacker wears pajamas and rollerblades to the office, but when they meet the coder in a suit, their polite expressions falter for a second.

Polite expressions faltering? That's the sort of thing you'll find if you're looking for it, whether it's there or not. A person wearing pajamas would have a larger effect in absolute terms; the difference is relative: a tech company would be more accepting of pajamas than you'd expect and less so of suits.

So.... if solar can power the world, as seems increasingly within the realm of not-being-crazy, does that mean that since we're using energy that is already under the ozone layer, that we'll also solve global warming?

This is just harvesting energy that's already here, in real time, right? It's not releasing energy that was created over millions of years in one concentrated burst as per carbon-based energy?

Or is much of this energy usually bounced back into space, yet with solar we'll be keeping it on terra firms?
This is a nice load of shit from a pretty well-accomplished bullshitter (he almost made Bush look not-retarded) that really says nothing other than the police/government/military can do no wrong and we should sacrifice everything for security, even when many of the threats to security are made up.

He even manages to use a quote directed just against such people as himself and his former boss: “We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” Those selfish people are the real terrorists. The real terrorists are the ones who started international wars without any basis. They are the people who constantly continue to abuse the American people and enslave them with both draconian laws and such bullshit drivel as this article. Yes, we are aware of those assholes, it's just really hard to do anything about it when the majority of idiots in the world (and especially in the US) buy the bullshit sold in "articles" like this.

How is that different from a stereotypical startup work week?
It seems the way to wear dress clothes in the startup/tech environment is not to wear a simple two-piece suit. The folks in my office that get away with business attire wear more stylish items such as vests paired with unmatching slacks, coupled with a bold-print shirt. These kinds of looks look way more difficult to create than going to Brooks Brothers and asking for two suits.

One legitimate reason why I would expect suit-wearers to be challenged is the fear of formal wear being required in the office.
No they don't. And there are many school of thought in economics.

For Austrians, the knowledge problem lies at the core. A lot of individuals, each with limited knowledge and limited processing power try to do their best. An emergent feature is capitalism. This is Adam Smith "invisible hand", because it is an emergent feature of a complex system. You can't observe it directly, but it works.

The article correctly quotes Hayek, but shows a poor understanding on why Hayek said so in the socialist calculation debate, or its later work, or other schools of thought.

You don't need people with 100% clarity, only that they do their best, and act upon what they believe is true. That is called purposeful action, in Mises' human action. We all make mistakes, but we also revise our opinions when proved wrong, and when replaced by the next generation!!

And entrepreneurs make big bucks when mistakes persist for too long, and an opportunity remains unexploited. You can basically see profit as a reward for helping everyone.
Imho the "you should replace it with" is the least readable code snippet of all 3.

(Also I assume the first is intended to be x != null)
> That doesn't even say anything about new possibilities going forward, like offering different commentary tracks

This is one place where the MLB has a bit of an advantage over the NFL since most MLB games are broadcast for both the home and away audiences so you have 2 commentary tracks available on MLB.tv (in addition to the various radio audio).
I agree :) I'd go as far as saying every single tv show should be available for pay per view streaming live. That's the world I wanna believe in.

Btw, UFC does it already (and is all on their site), the problem is the old school sports.
The German utilities just had to set aside around 35 billion dollars to decommission just about 10 nuclear power plants: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-09-16/why-german...

With that in mind I honestly don't believe the "few hundred million $".
And now I am sad again because cleaning service discovery is still broken. Not that you're wrong, just that it would be really nice to be able to find cleaners through a service with good reputation tracking and recommendation. Which is intrinsically difficult to build for exactly the reason you specify.
Why was the programmer's code incomprehensible?
Economies of scale; national or worldwide brand recognition; improved efficiency of operations; leverage from applying top-tier marketing/etc talent to the problem.

Lead acquisition at a mom-and-pop agency is the 10% project of the owner or office manager or, at best, a local SEO/AdWords/etc agency. The platform companies, by comparison, can totally hire ten people with skills superior to mine to do it, as their only job.
It's been a while since I looked into this myself, but I used to do a lot of GIS work and have a lot of experience with the tools for doing this kind of analysis. Doing a quick search around for a general purpose algorithm for the "traveling salesman problem" - I came across this: http://www-sre.wu-wien.ac.at/ersa/ersaconfs/ersa03/cdrom/pap...

In my experience, the most important part of doing network analysis is to have a "topology model" for your road network data. It contains the information necessary to model turns, drive-time, traffic signals, etc.

Anyway, I used to know the 1000 ft view of the math behind this stuff but not anymore. If, however, you're trying to build it into an application - there are solutions like pgRouting https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting which utilizes PostGIS (PostgreSQL), ESRI's Network Analyst ($$), and Google Maps Directions API. These all leverage some underlying topology data like Open Street Map to do routing and figure out the subsequent times/schedule to get from point to point to point...

Hope this helps!
You have to ask yourself, does a piece like this genuinely add anything to the conversation?
> where there is not regulation or quality control

In my state, you need to be licensed to provide child care. It looks like California and a few other states are similar.
It might also be interested in taking a look at Aurelia (http://aurelia.io). That is a fairly new framework (still in active development, it hasn't hit 1.0 yet) which is heavily influenced by web components and seems to implement them quite well. When using their bundling gulp task I can have a full components using app that only requires a couple of HTTP requests to load.
"Why target non-belligerent countries?"

Worth noting that until not long before the Cuban missile crisis there was only one single unconditional plan for the US fighting a nuclear war: the first version of SIOP -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Integrated_Operational_...

This targeted the Soviets, China, Warsaw Pact countries and even the likes of Yugoslavia and Albania. There was an exchange between General Power and David Shoup, Commandant of the Marine Corps, that went as follows:

"What would happen if Beijing was not fighting; was there an option to leave Chinese targets out of the attack plan?" Power was reported to have said that he hoped no one would think of that "because it would really screw up the plan"—that is, the plan was supposed to be executed as a whole. Apparently Shoup then observed that "any plan that kills millions of Chinese when it isn't even their war is not a good plan. This is not the American way."

Edit: For anyone interested in the Cuban Missile Crisis I can strongly recommend "One Minute To Midnight" by Michael Dobbs - it is full of episodes like this (some even more alarming).
My own thoughts separately: If this is all correctly remembered and truthful, it could mean that someone managed to sneak those codes into the command chain and the person passing them on wasn't even aware they were the launch codes. In that case i would suspect any consequences, if they happened, to be kept quiet on as well.

Or it's super mundane and just a coincidence/typo.

It is pretty awesome for what it does, but honestly it isn't worth learning it for a CV when you can surely find some markdown -> latex -> pdf translator.

I like to wear my suit to work a few times per year, just on random days. I've been approached by higher ups more than once with the question "Are you interviewing somewhere else?" First time I got a kick out of it, but after reflecting decided that it was a good way to send a subtle message now and then.

Hmm, so walnuts are used, but not peanuts. From friends here with allergies, they're specifically allergic to peanuts and not nuts in general (though they avoid most because they're often processed in the same facilities). Depending on the severity of their allergy that avoidance will be greater or lesser, a couple will eat brownies or cookies made with walnuts, or a pecan pie, but won't eat from a can of mixed nuts even if it doesn't (by the label) contain peanuts.

That's what I wonder every now and then, too. Like a couple of comments noted here, I have never heard of peanut allergies in my country (Myanmar) until I came to the US. Myanmar people eat a lot of peanut-based snacks (including the famous national salad called "Lahpet", which has peanut. It could entirely be due to genetics (i.e. south east asians are genetically immune to peanut allergies?), but I really would like to know the answer one day.
You are mistaken. Certain kinds of sunscreen used in the past were carcinogenic, they've been banned.
