FWIW, Eater published an article 5 days ago that discussed examples of New York eateries who are either OK or annoyed with being listed without permission

http://ny.eater.com/2015/11/6/9678206/door-dash-delivery-nyc

> But not all restaurants on DoorDash know that they're listed. Tommy Ferrick, owner of Delilah's Steaks in Greenpoint, says he rejected an offer from a DoorDash salesperson months ago due to a 20 to 25 percent commission fee. More than 50 percent of his cheesesteak business is from delivery, and he's already paying GrubHub a commission that ends up being three times higher than his rent every month. He's currently trying to get more people to just order directly through the restaurant. But a few weeks ago, his business started getting pick-up orders from DoorDash. He looked on the site and was shocked to see the Delilah's Steaks logo and full menu listed as an available restaurant, with significant price markups. A cheesesteak costs $11 in the shop, for example, but DoorDash charged $16.95 for it. "I was livid," says Ferrick, who worries about quality control for deliveries he doesn't know about.

Doughnut Plant seems meh about it:

> Still, DoorDash lists three of four Doughnut Plants shops on the site without the company's permission — but PostMates, Doughnut Plant's preferred delivery merchant, did reach out before posting the menu, according to the bakery's creative director Jeff Magness. The Doughnut Plant logo DoorDash posts is also incomplete, Magness adds. "I don't like [that] it makes it look like we are working with them," he writes in an email. "That said, we haven't received complaints from customers."
People have to worry a lot less about putting food on the table in the 21st century than at any other time in world history. Calorie counts have been going up a lot, for decades, across every country that formerly used to suffer deficits. Major famines are practically non-existent today, and were not uncommon in prior centuries.

See: calorie count increases across Africa, Asia, South America.

Poverty and global inequality also have been dropping gradually for decades.

Instead of being modern epidemics, these things are former, ancient epidemics that are being eradicated rapidly.
People think playing the "devil's advocate" card exempts their poor arguments from criticism. It doesn't.
that does indeed seem like the broadest CYA clause their lawyers could come up with, but perhaps it's not broad enough, because consider how the The Intercept was able to determine which of the calls were between prisoner and attorney: The Intercept just checked (for a sample of the 77 MM records) for membership of the phone number called, in a directory of lawyers and law firms (obviously under-inclusive because this directory usually lists office lines not individual lawyer's cell phones, as the article states). In other words, those phone numbers were indeed "known" to belong to attorneys--in fact, publicly known.
I don't know how DoorDash could make In-N-Out food worse. Seriously their food is not good. I see the trademark angle but the quality? Please they should start with making something worth while.
Man, that is a such a beautiful result. Ugly implications, but I love the analysis.
I kind of disagree.

Turbo Pascal and Apple Pascal ruled back then, at least in Europe. On Apple's case it was even the main OS language.

However with UNIX being adopted at work and universities, many wanted to be able to transport their work between home and work/uni. So people started to slowly adopt C.

I followed the same pattern with C++. Eventually Turbo Pascal wasn't no longer an option, so started using Turbo C++, C was just too primitive and unsafe already back then, vs TP.

At least C++ had some of the safety features I was used from TP, as long as one stayed away from C style coding.
Probably just standard compression techniques - the linked article is mostly discussing a standalone move, but there are a lot more options available when working with large strings of text (dictionaries, BWT, arithmetic coding, ...).

The downside is a lack of individual byte accessing without a lot of surrounding decompression work, but it'd be appropriate for stream processing

In fact the best compressed size is probably found by reducing some of the clever tricks in the article in order to expose more structure to a general compressor. Similar to running `precomp` or `antiX` before solid-packing multiple already-compressed files.
It's disruptive. Art is about disruption.
I'd argue that Swiss public schools being so "good" is a function of social homogeneity and income equality, than it is one of forcing rich kids to attend public schools.

The obvious counter example is the US, where public schooling is sectioned off by neighborhood and rich kids still attend school together because they can afford to live in their respective neighborhoods. Even worse, the US spends more money per child on public teaching, and still has some dreadfully bad public schools due to various inefficiencies.

In short, I think your assessment is backwards private college/lawyers/your-favourite-resource don't favor the rich, instead the rich build private college/lawyers/your-favourite-resource to favor themselves (or their children).
Everything you ever wanted to know about cameras in side-scrolling video games
Same here, I've bought close to 13 courses on Udemy. For learning React, Unity, and for brushing up my Nodejs, a few for game design and drawing etc. Also bought a Cocktail making course just for kicks.

I usually buy courses for 10$, which are good. But there are some awesome courses which costed a lot more, from 99$ to 199$. I used to add them to my wishlist so that I can buy them later when I save enough money, but sooner or later, all those wishlisted courses would be on sale for 10$. No idea if this is intentional, or if I picked the most popular courses and hence were on sale.
Completely agree! I started limiting myself to apps that had night mode such as, Alien Blue and Tweetbot.

Being able to go from a computer with f.lux to my iPhone with f.lux will play much nicer with my eyes at night. I can literally feel the strain in my eyes when going from f.lux to no f.lux.
I believe you may have a minority opinion.
Not necessarily. For individuals who want to live close to work and rent condos/apartments it could work out well (e.g. young professionals just out of college). For example, West Hollywood is ranked as the most walkable city in California (by Walkscore), has a population density of ~19000 people/sqmi, is ~60% individual households, and ~80% of the housing is rented.

"Since helmet laws don’t necessarily mean compliance, they looked at helmet usage, too, and once again found nothing."

Did the author read the study? I can't find anyplace where it has any data about usage. In fact, the words "comply(iance)" or "usage" don't appear in the document once, in any context.

Also, it doesn't distinguish between those who always wear helmets and those who claim they use helmets at least half the time.
I would have admitted that just like I admitted to knowing people there.
Asking to skip TDD
> [...] Aol are really the only large headquartered technology companies that I've seen in Ashburn

The AOL buildings are mostly rented out at this point; I believe a Raytheon office resides in the majority of them. So looking for headquarters doesn't seem particularly meaningful. What about large offices of global companies? AWS US-East runs out of Ashburn, for example (not sure why Amazon doesn't appear on the list at the link you gave).
Cydia impactor how to use unjailbreak iOS device for iOS 9.1
I really really doubt that it can process a million uncached rows under a second.
But yeah, I just tested an million was not a good example because it does take only a bit over a second on decent hardware.
So perhaps should have said 10 million.
I agree about not returning any results being the right test.
1. Can you find an economist who would agree with you?

2. Healthcare and education costs have far outpaced inflation. we're doing something seriously wrong there.

3. You are asking the owner of the house to subsidize your rent. Doesn't seem fair. Maybe her costs have also increased. Painters, plumbers, insurance, taxes, etc all increase over time.
Or anyone who has kids, which is why they instead buy and US cities look like they do.
Just ignore it, and when you fix it, select the affected lines and use the auto-indentation feature. Why do you care how it ends up being indented before you fix it, if you are paying so much attention to the stuff you are trying to download from your head?
Yes, but with BBEdit, not 1Password. It happened tonight.

Tor's purpose is to anonymize traffic. What is it good for, if it can't do that?
Excess vitamin C is certainly not harmful; nobody worries about drinking two glasses of orange juice (or even just one, and picking up more vitamin C from other sources), at least not because of its vitamin content. Orders of magnitude more vitamin C might be problematic, but 400% just isn't a problem.

Manganese seems to be the same way; at around 500% DV, you should worry about toxicity, but not before.

The rest of your criticisms are legitimate, though they're much more matters of opinions/preference than objective inferiority. (Personally, for instance, I find the taste of Ensure just fine; a bit on the sweet side, yes, but personally I use it when I'm failing to have an appetite, and sweet works for me.) Note that if you're aiming for a full meal replacement, the 350-calorie Ensure Plus is probably a better choice.

One objective advantage of Ensure is that, to my knowledge, it does not cause the legendary smelly stool that Soylent does.
good point--a Constitutional violation no less. I wonder if t's more than a violation of the 4th Amendment, perhaps 6th as well ("effective assistance of counsel" or something like that) In any event, an ACLU directory quoted in the article says that this hack "[m]ay be the most massive breach of the attorney-client privilege in modern U.S. history"
In this case, the denotation of suicide as the voluntary choice to end oneself is certainly more valid than kill, as the tests in the related PR indicate (https://github.com/cjihrig/node-1/blob/c0de81bd09875c8ff9b3f...). This conversation feels to some extent like political correctness, which I'm generally opposed to–words are just words, and we have to call things something–though the use of the term "suicide" when "detach[ed]" would have sufficed, was rather rash.
The difference is that restaurants sign up to offer their existing delivery services to customers through H&L and Menulog, who are merely the conduit through which orders are placed. It's still the restaurant making the deliveries, and they can choose to pull out at any time.

It's crazy how popular they've become; just about everybody I know uses Menulog and Eat Now to order food, and if your restaurant isn't on it, we'll probably never know about you.

Wee bit off-topic, but I have come across a phrase quoted in the PDF before: "Lua is frequently used for data representation"

What does this mean?
Talk to your doctor. The manufacturers tell doctors all of this; they just don't market that to the general public.

That's also the right answer for the same question about Soylent, btw. It just turns out that people who are unenthusiastic about proper medical advice form a lucrative market.
Doesn't Indiegogo charge 10% of funds collected?
If you get a bad experience because DoorDash took too long or dropped the box and didn't tell you I suspect some/many/most? people might blame the restaurant, not DoorDash. So in that sense I can see why In-N-Out would care since from their POV DoorDash is appearing to represent them to customers.
Jekyll now supports data files that can be used in roughly the same way...so I've actually been able to build decent sites with just Jekyll, when I need to collaborate with someone else, as Jekyll is much more common a platform and has the bonus of being able to "just work" with Github pages if you don't add any plugins.
> In addition to metadata, each phone call record includes a “recording URL” where the audio recordings of the calls can be downloaded.

If the intercept has retrieved the recordings this way, it means that the recordings are available for the public to download, only protected by the URL being secret.

The article doesn't confirm that explicitly, but could be read that way.

I'm getting a lot of excitement and koolaid but not a lot of meat.

I'm going to look at this sideways.

Every spoken and written language aims to communicate, how will this communicate precisely to both the computer and future reader/maintainer? How long will it take a future reader to learn the language before they grok it? What will be good design patterns in this new language?

The amount of information encoded in each bit varies by language. Spanish for example has a lower density then English. Most modern high level programming languages have an informational density that puts English to shame. How are you going to visually match the information density of a computer screen without relying upon text to do the heavy lifting? Nobody like to have to scroll.

You will end up needing to design an extensible visual language that intentionally doesn't rely upon words. This is going to be Hard.

As to good looking adaptive GUIs, you are looking to solve a fundamentally human problem with a technical solution. It has been my experience that trying to do this just translates the problem without actually solving it. Look at Java, it has dynamic layout GUIs, they suck, they look terrible.

Fundamentally, all you are doing with this is replacing one set of tokens, with another set. You won't reduce the complexity of programs BUT you might manage to squirrel more of that complexity away into the languages API. As you say, there is no reason to have unnecessary code duplication.

Usability: How long will it take me to visually describe in your IDE the program I envision? If it can't keep up with my typing speed, its not worth it. I would need to be more productive in it than typing.

A lot of data manipulation is done in Excel, I'm having trouble envisioning an Excel interface that isn't text driven.

When it comes to 3d modeling and vector graphics, there becomes a point where I'll open up the file in a text editor and make tweaks to it there and use the real editor as just a viewer.

Transit Projects Are About to Get Easier in California
The preference for commercial zoning is a quirk of California law. California cities are allowed to tax people based on where they work, but not where they sleep. Payroll taxes are fine but income taxes are forbidden by state law.

Given Android devices far outnumber iOS devices, this may pose a problem. Other services like PayPal and Square are universal services (device agnostic), and accounts are free (compared to Apple's barrier to entry which will likely cost you an iOS device).

In the US, where this payment service would likely be available first, the iPhone has a marketshare of around 44% and growing. So the difference in marketshare is in the single digits: http://www.macrumors.com/2015/09/03/iphone-us-market-share-c...

Apple sold 74.5 million iPhones this quarter a year ago; they could sell even more this year, given the start the iPhone 6s had this year (13 million) vs. last year (10 million) during the first weekend of availability. If this keeps up, iPhone marketshare could surpass Android in a couple of years or less.

Second, just like with iMessage, Apple could differentiate between iOS users (blue bubbles) and non-iOS users with their green bubbles. Yes, this is a real thing: "It’s Kind of Cheesy Being Green" https://medium.com/message/its-kind-of-cheesy-being-green-2c...

The easiest thing for users would be to include payment in iMessage, similar to what Facebook and others are doing with their messaging apps.

Blue bubbles only. ;-)
Awesome! Been wanting this for so long. F.lux has made a huge positive impact on my health.
I don't understand why people continue to go into law in the numbers they do. Everything I've seen over the last few years indicates the number of law jobs being created/opening up due to retirement is far lower than the number of people passing the bar every year. Considering how much it costs to go through law school, it seems like an insane gamble unless you already have ins at a significant law firm.
Don't play superior, you're not; I've read it more than a few times and worked in law enforcement. You think your interpretation is somehow right while ignoring the reality that reasonable people disagree on the meaning of it and denying they even can. You're blinded by your own ideology. We're done.
I'm going to go down the off-topic path with you as I would agree with you. On my last trip out to SF I tried them and I was really underwhelmed. As far as fast food burgers and fries went I enjoyed Carl's Jr. far more.

The fries at In-N-Out is an interesting paradox. Without sauce they taste almost like nothing; the blandest fast food fries I've ever eaten. With sauce? It's okay. A bit too soggy for my liking but okay.
I assume others are going to downvote you to oblivion so I'll upvote you :)

I've used DoorDash before but not for In-N-Out...I wonder how many Stanfordians have done so, given that DoorDash is a product of Stanford graduates and of the incredibly annoying fact that In-N-Out is in the 2 nearby localities (Redwood City and Mountain View), but not Palo Alto or Menlo Park...Anyone who has been around the area know why In-N-Out hasn't managed to get a place near Stanford? This is the first California city I've lived in without its own In-N-Out. I would definitely use DoorDash for In-N-Out delivery.
True, they need to more than just build housing -- if they want people to get out of their cars and on transit and bikes, they need to build first-class Bike and Pedestrian facilities.

Too often think that all they need to do is build housing and collect property taxes and their job is done, and they ignore the fact that most of the residents are continuing to drive everywhere.
Probably not since the Yelp buy out.
I agree the information typically provided by the private companies is limited. But they offer insight into health of the company.

The person reviewing these statements need to know how to analyze and reconcile financial statements. Also, as shareholder, you can ask their finance person to explain/elaborate certain items in the statements.

Shareholders' Equity section of Balance Sheet statement and Cash Flow from Financing Activities section of Cash Flow statement might also give additional insights. Company will be accounting for value of preferred shares, any dividend/interest paid on preferred on these statements.

I am not sure how much an employee can push without jeopardizing the job. IME, most owners and executives of such entities are typically egomaniacs who don't like being questioned unless someone has bigger stick than them. My personal experience is very limited and only as external investor.
I haven't sent a paper check since about 1991 when I started using Bill Pay which AFAIK is part of nearly every bank in the USA now and has been for many many years. Not sure why you're sending checks manually. The bank decides if it's a transfer or a check. I don't care because to me it's been trivial for 24 years.

Compare to Japan where I had to transfer to my landlord at about $6 per transfer and doing online didn't happen until about 2003, 12 years after the USA.
There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers... like this one :-)

No but seriously, if your "spinning disk" is even a semi-modern storage controller, it will queue and reorder your parallel requests for the most efficient access to the several, or dozens, or hundreds of physical disks it manages. So why not slam it with all the requests in a single sequence? Because a) if you are set up to handle parallel returns in your code, you don't care about the ordering in which blocks are returned so much and b) the way this is physically implemented is n queues of d depth and you want to fill them all with work.

Yes, this. I've often thought that in terms of long-term strategy, pro-housing groups should focus on getting rental housing built, and leave owner-occupied condos alone.
I understand why In-N-Out might be upset, but I don't understand how they could possibly have any legal standing.

This. It may not be huge for someone who is accustomed to those hotkeys, but for everyone this is a big deal. Imagine not having to commit those hotkeys to (muscle) memory at all.
Few small cities in the Bay Area have rent control ordnances, including Mountain View, which is the city that originally wanted Google to build all new offices and no residences. So no,it's not Rent Control that is driving commercial-only zoning restrictions. Perhaps it's the fact that commercial office tenants pay property taxes, but require few city services in return -- no schools, limited police and/or fire services, little demand for parks or recreational activities, etc.

Even in SF, only buildings built prior to 1979 are covered under rent control rent restrictions, so rent control wouldn't affect new zoning decisions.
UE 4 doesn't have UnrealScript anymore. Quoth Tim Sweeney: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/213647/Epics_Tim_Sweeney_...

>Another realization the team had was that the separation between the C++ code and UnrealScript in Unreal Engine 3 held things back for the engine and for programmers of games. "You end up with basically two different programming worlds," says Sweeney. "Each is nice in its own way, but the boundary between is a very messy place."

>"We removed UnrealScript, and went strictly to C++, and we have seen huge dividends from that," says Sweeney. "It would have been almost impossible to get to the point we were today, to release the whole codebase."
"All this would accomplish ... build more luxury units ... concentrating even more wealth in the hands of property developers."

Building more units is the point. Having enough supply that anyone can afford (to rent) a place to live is the point. I don't see how concentration of wealth is relevant here.

"This is basically exactly what's happening in Vancouver"

Vancouver has plenty of undeveloped and underdeveloped land. Supply of residential units available for new renters is constrained by (1) rent controls, (2) NIMBYism preventing new homes near existing homes, (3) the city government not wanting to re-zone industrial land as residential.

A luxury $1m condo isn't that price due to something inherent in the condo. It's due to its location and the supply/demand in the city. The same condo in Detroit wouldn't cost the same.

Additional supply (of whatever types of units) would increase supply and, by definition, allow more people to afford to live in the area.
