What this benchmark shows is the lightweightness of the memory needed per websocket. 500k users is really impressive.

500k users per machine is great if they are mostly idle. This is the use case of WhatsApp, and their stats are[1]:

> Peaked at 2.8M connections per server

> 571k packets/sec

> >200k dist msgs/sec

Not every app is meant to have mostly idle users. Can a real-time MMO FPS be done in the Haskell server is the question (lets limit each user's neighbourhood to the 10 closest players).

I'd be very interested in the other corners of the envelope for the Haskell server: A requests/second benchmark over websockets, with the associated latency HdrHistogram, like [2]

To be fair, there is a positive side of China being the "World's Factory". For example, without the inexpensive components from Chinese factories, Wind/Solar Power won't be as affordable as now. Also I suspect without China mobile phones especially Android phones would be much more expensive.

you wouldn't qualify for SR&ED because you were successful, so there was obviously no risk involved,

There are all kinds of risks you face that have nothing to do with SR&ED.

I'm not surprised you had a difficult audit if you were talking about things like "explaining polymorphism and encapulation" - sounds a description of activities in software development that are clearly not SR&ED-able.
You ought not compare a forcibly evaporated Scotch in an overly active cask, to a true SBM that is naturally viscous due to aging in a living breathing cask.

It's not just the water loss that matters, but the total evaporation that increases your protein ppm, and the length of time those proteins have had to break down in solution, that provides the complexity to a proper whiskey.

You don't detect that by legs, but by mouth-feel -- surface tension and viscosity are not the same thing.

You make a good point that when they are seamless it doesn't bother users. When I do come across things that break with chrome's frequent updates it annoys me greatly. One other thing to point out is that we aren't locked into using Chrome so there is less pain from automatic updates. If my smartphone forced me to update automatically for instance this would be a much bigger issue as they lock me into using their software.

You still need people to handle the machines, repair the machines, perform billing, HR, etc. You don't have giant automated aluminium factories devoid of people.

> If so, it would suggest that the advantage of China isn't cheap labor costs, but either cheap energy, cheap regulations, or cheap currency.

Yes. It is more the cheap energy/regulations but the labor savings isn't 0. Aluminum factories in the west regularly have 7-9 figure environmental problems.

This is (probably) not global. Some financial institutions will offer aggregators safer ways of keeping a negotiated connection around. Like most big aggregators, Intuit negotiates with all the major banks individually for both batch and realtime refreshes.

The entire world of aggregation is simultaneously really interesting and rock-boring stupid. I'm surprised we don't see more fintech startups using it more aggressively, even as I am happy this made my former endeavor more acquirable.
I was a chef for 17 years, 11 in a restaurant and 6 on a private yacht. What always strikes me is how much each piece of food is different. No two tomatoes are the same and the higher the quality of the product usually the less automation in the growing or raising process making the final product even more unique.

Rare, medium-rare, medium, ect. are temperatures, literally the internal temperature of a piece of meat. It's not just weight and dimensions of the cut that are involved in the cooking time, but also things like specific gravity and percentage of water. (Have you ever been to a restaurant that makes home-made french fries that are soggy and overcooked? They don't know about specific gravity of potatoes.[1]) Cooking is also multidimensional, for example, medium-rare by definition is 130 to 135 degrees F, however, the rate of cooking determines different outcomes. For example, lower heat and a long time to reach 130 degrees F has a very different end product from high heat over a short time. In the latter, the meat will be more unevenly cooked by cross section. Freshness is one of many factors that determine how much moister is released during pan frying. So sometimes the pan heat needs to adjusted in order to make sure that surface of a piece of meat or fish has the right amount of crispiness which in turn changes the cooking time

One of my favorite parts of being a yacht chef was not knowing which foods were going to spoil first. Survival was about strategy and knowing how to make everything from scratch like bread, mayonnaise and pasta. The night before I'd look in the fridge and see what needs to be used first, it might be the spinach or the broccoli, and then design meals around that item. This is what imagination is for. Not only the state of the food needs to calculated, but also if we are moving between anchorages or marina the sea height. If the guests have been active fishing or scuba diving so there are psychological considerations also.

Cooking is about imagination and to imagine different outcomes whether the internal state of a salmon or steak requires experience and that only comes from cooking, failing at it, and making mistakes. The only way to get good at cooking is to suck it for a long time. But, that is the same for everything. Don't cook just to eat, cook because it is a challenge like playing a video game where the ball needs to bounce off the paddle at just the right angle to make it hit the target.

Given that they can't sell these LTE-U devices in Europe/Japan anyway (where rules mandate "listen before talk" like the article says and where vendors have a different standard called LAA), what's the upside in having this just for the US and places like India when experience indicates most manufacturers would rather make one model that they could sell worldwide if feasible? (e.g. almost all GSM phones are quad-band these days and work around the world)

The trick to making an open office plan work is to use the lack of walls to increase the square footage per employee. On top of that, it really helps to have "break-out" spaces or quiet rooms, where you can go to get some work done away from the bustle.

The problem is that it's easy to fall into the trap of cutting costs as part of transitioning to an open plan. You really can't have it both ways -- either you increase productivity and pay more in square-footage, or you cram everyone into a much smaller space at the cost of productivity and happiness.

I'm curious why people singled out Eich vs say Ed Catmull. If I understand correctly Catmull is a practicing Mormon which means he gives 10% of his gross income to a church that has been strongly anti LGBT rights. I haven't noticed a big movement trying to get him to resign from Pixar or to boycott Pixar or Disney.

Do I have my facts wrong?

Is there something that makes Eich's situation different than Catmull's?

If I understood the difference I feel like I'd be more enlightened.
Two weeks! Neglecting the rest of your startup for 2 weeks can easily kill 10% of its long-term potential. For $48k, so if you value your startup at more than $480k, you shouldn't do it.

(Taking a 2-week vacation doesn't do that, because you're fresh and energized afterwards, rather than beaten down by the grim bureaucracy).
It is certainly easier and more profitable to just be a mouthy hypocrite.

This is very cool technology. The challenge it highlights is that there is no opportunity to have lighting or grips or special effects "out of frame" because the entire visible space is "in-frame". All those shots that of untouched wilderness or of actors pretending to drive or getting yanked around on wire harnesses become much much harder since you'll need to create a believable 3d representation of whatever traditionally would not be visible.
Good point. I have a "no debit card" policy and don't do automatic payments, with 4 exceptions (mortgage, auto insurance, house insurance, electric/gas company)

> there are (afaik) no laws against discriminating against people on the basis of political affiliation

There are in California, actually. See California labor code sections 1101-1102 http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab&gr... , which say:

1101: No employer shall make, adopt, or enforce any rule,
regulation, or policy (a) Forbidding or preventing employees from engaging or participating in politics or from becoming candidates for public office. b) Controlling or directing, or tending to control or direct the
political activities or affiliations of employees.

1102: No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity.

etc. So in California (where Mozilla is headquartered and where Brendan lives) it is in fact illegal to fire someone for a political donation they make.

Now the actual punishment is a slap on the wrist in practice (see section 1103; it's a $5k maximum fine for the corporation if the employer is a corporation).

Which only works if you can protect your trade secrets. China's got that covered too.
Getting the variants out is where the analysis starts. What does the variation mean, which ones correlate with a detectable phenotype. Which ones are affecting regulatory systems.

Genomics England is brilliant because it has good access to excellent NHS data which it will use to do a lot of analysis.
Which its not getting off the shelf but a lot of talented clincal+bio+informaticians are working hard on that.

Or in other words getting the variants to the human genome reference is just the start of the analysis not the end.

i.e. I am more worried about the end of the pipeline than the contents of them.

I suspected as much on the 1,2,3 level. But even 2 is not really fixed yet. There are great off the shelf tools but even the concept of variation calling against a reference linear genome is not perfect yet especially with the alt_loci business. Which driving the variation graph work in the GA4GH projects.

Novel does not mean no competition--there's always competition, even for breakthrough technologies. Even the telephone had to compete with telegraphs or snail mail. The novelty comes in the way an existing need is met. From your list, Uber competes against taxis to transport people short distances. Airbnb competes against hotels to provide short term housing to travelers. Dropbox competed against flash drive to transfer data between machines. These companies have a novel approach to enter and thrive in a competitive market.

A monopoly simply has to have significant influence on supply of a good. In the UK that can be as low as a 30% market share. Qualify a market enough and any company can be a monopoly (I'm sure there's some geography where Lyft or good ol taxis represent a monopoly), so it's important to determine the size and importance of a market (a monopoly over food in a small town is still problematic). So while I cannot say these companies are monopolies--we have the Department of Justice for that--many companies on your list would make a compelling case, were they to abuse their market power.
Could be, but I guess that burning coal will not lead to enough value and will roar back less than the other sources.

This is definitely true, but not news to anyone who has followed how government program "X" for business actually works. These programs are defined by who they favour, and it has nothing to do with merit as defined by business or legislators; it is defined by bureaucrats who invariably favor things that benefit them directly.

I managed to get a decent amount of money back from SR&ED, but it required (as expected) an incredible time investment. A time investment that was negative to our business in every way; there's no way to reap a return on that later unless you return to SR&ED in the future.

The best thing, as always, would be for the government to simply lower taxes and eliminate these circuitous loops.
> They certainly can pick roles based on the statements of an individual.

Technically, in California, they can't if the statements are part of the political process. Or at least they will get a pretty nominal fine if they do. See http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab&gr...

Your two examples, of course, are not political activity per se, so wouldn't fall under these regulations.
A small business is fundamentally different from lifestyle tech business or a bootstrap. There could be hundreds and thousands of small businesses, say in a certain FMCG market in different local ares. A tech market with hundreds or thousands product businesses catering to a same target audience, probably, doesn't exist at all. Product companies tend to either grow or whither. Centralization is the norm.

Building a lifestyle business mostly rules out services as most desired lifestyle business model is some sort of passive income scheme. Content oriented monetization models are being slowly, but surely killed by ad blockers. An innovative product tailored to the needs of a small, well defined audience seems to be a best bet for a lifestyle business and that's very different from a classical SME.
I literally don't understand this argument. It's taking for the sake of taking. Can I go to my rich neighbour and take his car, because I need one more than he does(he has like 10)? That would be stealing, right? But if we do that with taxes, that's somehow ok, because "they will be still well off even if you take half". That makes no sense to me.
