How do you compute that? What the numbers show is that most of the revenue goes to ongoing operation and maintenance. They have to pay for the original build with what is left over. With respect to Verizon, analysts are skeptical they'll ever pay off the build-out of fiber.

Well, yeah, that's SteamOS. Linux users should be installing the standalone Steam client within their existing distro, not a completely separate operating system.

It seems kind of a mixed deal for that stuff. Apparently you can submit your app to use free basics and stuff like you mention should qualify. On the other hand it's easier to put a service on the regular web than to have to apply to Facebook. Actually hacking free basics might be good for things like checking the water levels - you could get a cheap phone pointed at the tank with an app to look at the water, use Facebook's data and enjoy the knowledge that that phone isn't going to be pokeing or candy-crushing.

You'll notice that they're still actively replacing mains (at an extraordinarily slow rate, essentially whenever a line needs service.)

Years ago, my employer asked us all to read the Netflix slide deck about their company culture. In that slide deck, the point is made that what is important to a company is not told by the values inscribed on a plaque mounted to a wall, but in what happens inside the company every day. That has stuck with me through the years.

Signs That Silicon Valley's Cash Party Is Coming to an End
Now that's interesting. I used Modula 2 on a PC for some embedded robotics work decades ago, and it was quite useful. If a program compiled, it usually worked. But Modula 2 didn't have objects. Modula 3 did, but it was also garbage-collected, making it undesirable for small-scale embedded work.

This new variant of Modula 2 has objects, in a limited way, and avoids some of the strangeness of Oberon. Is it available for small embedded machines in the Arduino and low-end ARM class? It would be a good choice for when you just need to run some sensors and actuators, and need reliability.

Go is for larger systems, in the large web server class. It does too much implicit allocation and garbage collection for small embedded work.

Recent caching issues on Steam
Part of this might be that Valve doesn't assign projects - everyone chooses their own. With so much cool stuff going on, it's easy to ignore less fun, less visible projects, such as fixing the Steam store.

Cost structures for providing free WiFi and providing wireless telecom service are completely different though - a telecom ought to procure proper licensing, acquire some spectrum and buy/rent tower space before they earn their first dollar.

End of the day it's all about barriers for entry - the barrier to provide free WiFi is relatively low, and one can do it at the cost of an uplink connection and a wireless router. If you find a way to lower the barrier for wireless telecom space, the market forces will take over.

Steam has numerous competitors but by being the first major player they carry a huge inertial advantage. Having a huge library of games is a REALLY big incentive for people to stay there.

I've been thinking about it and honestly the only way I can think a new competitor could breach into a significant market share, short of Valve screwing up completely, is to offer to duplicate a user's library across to their own platform.

You have problem with making decisions, not with lack of guidance.

A rule of a thumb: start fast with anything, learn whatever basics you need
in the process, and then adjust your choices once they turn out to be
inappropriate for you.

As a novice you are not in a position to make decisions about your direction.
Your teacher is. If you have none, just start and learn enough of the field to
make further decisions.

I just can't keep up with this - most of these errors are with objects I am not using (such as 'panel.ontop' when using theme(legend.position="bottom"). For those of us who chose (made the mistake?) of using ggplot2 with larger projects such as shiny, large updates like this which render all our past code mute presents a dilemma - do we keep re-learning this wheel or just stop updating altogether? The latter seems to be the only feasible course. Every plot implementation I had on my website was broken by this update.

I don't mean to be mean, ggplot2 is a wonderful package, but this update presented all headaches.

My anecdotal experience from using steam for about 12 years is not this at all, excepting that it launches on boot and you can trivially turn that off in the settings. It uses bandwidth only so much as to download updates for games and you can stop games from updating though I don't really understand why you'd do that. Certainly I've never experienced it eating up resources; right now it's eating under 100MB of system resources.

The only bandwidth-related frustration I've experienced is when Steam's client updates itself because it's an invisible background task and occurs at relatively random times. That can cause some frustrations when I am playing a game and wonder where the lag's coming from.

But I usually sleep over the book and when i wake up, the game hasn't finished yet.
It's not abandoned, lots of DVDs and Blu-Rays still come with an ultraviolet code, I bought "Minions" last week and it came with one.

True story: (dad and granddad owned a water well firm in NV)

I was sent out to assemble a windmill one day. All the precut/predrilled angle iron was banded. There was a wooden box with the bolts, nuts and (cast) head.

The instructions read:

"When properly assembled, all parts will fit."

It was a puzzle.

Spurs vs. Rockets Live S.t.r.e.a.m.i.n.g
I'm not sure I buy this because even if a third competitor entered and claimed nearly half of the market, the people far out in the tail of that claimed half would not experience any improvement in service. To them, they would be nearly just as bad off. Their relative position wouldn't improve unless many, many entrants just kept repeating the exact same formula, which is highly speculative because the market could become saturated long before a chain of entrants is built up to such a degree as to effect the people in the tails in any meaningful way

It's also worth mentioning that in most real life scenarios, the risk of a cabal is incredibly high. Without regulation, what stops the first two market participants from using wealth created during their duopoly phase to "buy out" the third entrant, and then all three buy out the fourth, and so on? Each new entrant would have to value the discounted future stream of returns from their market share at something higher than the buyout, which again is really speculative.

I understand that regulations present their own problems: what stops the duopoly from purchasing regulatory capture and raising barriers to entry?

I'm just saying I don't think for a second that any quick and simple "but low barriers to market entry would solve this" thinking is even slightly convincing here. The Hotelling problem does really present a significant problem to natural equilibria that free markets arrive at, at least from a social welfare optimization point of view. It doesn't mean any given proposed regulation is the "right" answer, but it also doesn't do anything to build assurance that less regulation is acceptable either.
It may be spiritual but it's also pretty fucked up in many ways not unrelated to the spirituality like bride burning, killing people who marry into the wrong cast, leading the world in modern slavery (14 million in the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_slavery) and in malutrition (nearly double that of Sub Saharan Africa, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malnutrition_in_India). I think banning those people from a free if a bit crappy internet service because the well off are offended by the idea of it being provided by Facebook is dubious.
Sleep isn’t needed to create long-term memories – just time out
If I were in your situation, I'd get an entry level job in an unrelated field, get a loan and go to college part time.

There's lots of reasons why you'd want to go to college:

1. You want to future proof yourself against ageism. It's much harder without a degree.

2. It's a really good place to find entry level IT jobs that do not require a degree/experience.

3. Once you're done you are not limited to working in web developement but in a wider range of IT and software development jobs

4. Sort of the same as no 2 but employers would really rather hire the guy who is working through college over the guy who is not, even though both lack a degree.

5. A degree is useful for a lot of things. Many visas require one, for example.

I think that's the most interesting part. Obviously not just everyone would have the knowledge that he would log in as DPR from a coffee shop a few hundred feet from his apartment, but they could still place him as a strong suspect based on his posts as altoid that identify himself and mention Silk Road. Something that even the FBI didn't do.

I tried to use google to find his post as altoid to no avail. Maybe it was taken down.

I was under the impression that many games, under Linux, could only be played using Steam.
Don't these arguments kind of assume a few things though? Like, 'strong' AI being implemented into things that really don't need it? I mean, the paperclip example in the Medium article... did that factory ever need AI involved? Couldn't a simple computer program no more advanced than those of today do the exact same job... without the risk of all that 'thinking and making copies of itself' stuff?

Maybe I'm being naive here, but you don't need strong AI in everything.

And they also kind of assume that there's only one AI at a time (what if two factories are run by AIs designed to build different things, and they both end up in this sort of situation at the same time?), that everything is connected to the internet in some way, that humanity couldn't simply wipe out anything that poses a threat (and no, an AI in a factory environment wouldn't get access to anything that would allow for nuclear/chemical/biological weapons). Just seems like a lot of this speculation is based around a society that's making tons of careless mistakes one after another. But maybe I'm missing something here.

It's hard to tell without context but I don't recommend most big company jobs that are not working on things that are high risk and high reward for recent graduates normally. There's a lot of questions to be asked about what the objectives of the project are, executive backing, and (most importantly) how strong the funding is to demonstrate the worth. As an example, my customer has made huge investments in attempts to hire developers while skimping tremendously on dependent efforts that would remove barriers for those developers to the extent that most developers are doing 9-5 jobs and unable to accomplish a lot while a lot of the infrastructure teams are working 12+ hour days working on very much solved problems from decades ago that only exist due to lack of respect and understanding of basic automation principles required to scale software companies of any sort. Everyone wants to work on modern, relevant problems - make sure that people are specific about their current barriers as being technical rather than organizational as a prospective employee.

Look for a deep culture of respected and accomplished leaders in software up and down the hierarchy. If nobody in a position of authority has delivered software successfully before that you can recognize as an engineer, pass because culture and experience among executives is massively important and their priorities should focus on long term growth (Amazon was ridiculed by enterprise vendors while I screamed that they will eat their business in a decade - they don't care because they'll go somewhere else while I have to deal with the very expensive consequences of bad software). There are too many great companies around today to waste time on mediocre companies - it is better to be jobless for months or years waiting for a great company to accept you for your talents than to waste some of the best years on companies where your best efforts will result in second rate winnings. It's a huge risk to work for mediocre companies that will not put the work you will have to put in themselves.

I wonder how it performs compared to a VP tree. Yes, the VP tree has all the problems of the KD tree, i.e. it becomes unbalanced when inserting, but most fast implementations use linear search in leaf nodes instead of creating a full tree, and splitting a leaf once it exceeds its max size (which is normally around 100-1000) usually gives a pretty good vantage point. I guess the same can be done on a KD tree. In my experiments, the VP tree was the fastest tree for range queries when you can't establish a total order over your data.
They are tools for managing multiple installed versions of a programming language. When developing software, we often specify dependencies using version numbers, which indicate the version of the language or library that should be used when running the software. Running the software with the specified language runtime or library version ensures that the expected features of that library or language runtime are available and also helps avoid unexpected issues related to differences in the environments, including different developer's local systems as well as remote server environments.

In the case of a programming language runtime, if you have one project that's configured to use version 2.2.4 of a language and another that's configured to use version 2.1.0, these tools provide an easy way to install and switch between the two versions.

This is not unique to Ruby, and similar projects exist for other languages. For example, nvm (https://github.com/creationix/nvm) and n (https://github.com/tj/n) provide something similar for Node (JavaScript), gvm (https://github.com/moovweb/gvm) for Go, and multirust (https://github.com/brson/multirust) for Rust.
If you want your RSS reader to work for you, restrict yourself to adding only the feeds of individual people and not those of major news sites or aggregators.

As a bonus, you no longer have to check up on individual sites, since everything will show up prominently in your feed.
