"I am really failing to understand how this could be broadly useful."

For one, it is a huge step forward from existing payment processor communication. Most card acquirer software is vintage 1997, either by sending large amounts of unstructured text over the wire, or parsing through XML, or dealing with error codes that mean nothing from acquirer to acquirer. Switching banks, for example, is such a massive pain in the ass because you essentially have to rewrite your entire card processing code from scratch. Having this easy-to-use API will encourage competitors to play catch up, and it is a pretty good selling point for using Cybersource.

Second, and you can make an argument about monopolies or whatever, but PCI is essentially controlled by Visa and Mastercard. It is entirely possible for Visa to strongarm mom-and-pop-acquirer to play by this API, and then (hopefully) add the public tokenization later. For e-commerce, storing and transmitting only tokens is huge, and goes a long long way towards mitigating the severity of these massive retail breaches.
Did you make up the Slow Information Diet yourself, or did you read about it somewhere? I want to emulate it so was curious if there was more written up about it somewhere. Thanks!
The same can be said of anything built on top of the Twitter's and Facebook's of the world. Of course there is risk, but there is also some reward there too that is possible. It is a good question, but almost any API published by a corporation has risk of it being ripped out from under you.

My guess is that one-day, everybody. Today, not so much.

What is the difference between your laptop, desktop and phone? Mostly it's screen resolution and the apps that run on them.

I'm sure at one point somebody was asking "why would I want to plug my laptop into a monitor?"

Eventually, the technology disappears and it just becomes different I/O.

All your apps, all your contacts, all your content in one place. No matter what monitor you sit in front of, it is YOUR computer. Not signing in under this account or that account, it just goes with you.

I believe the technology still has a way to go. This is for early adopters now.

It would in fact be impossible to get through the Republican Congress presently. Not an exaggeration, it will not happen under any scenario so long as the Senate and House are both Republican held.

2. JNI debug is a bit of pain probably. But Java/Groovy/etc much easier to debug, compared to, say, Python

3. IMO there're no much reason to use pure Java in webdev. Only if you have well defined project, maybe already written in JVM language, that you want to optimize

4. Depends on language. Clojure have one. Groovy/Grails too.

5. check Grails
Do you miss being able to use the phone for distraction, say for example when stuck in line at the bank? That is why I'm always sneaking a peak at twitter or facebook.

Also as lame as it is, I worry about not keeping up with the Joneses on social media and being seen as irrelevant because I don't have an online "presence." I applied for a job via HN a few weeks ago that wanted links to my facebook and twitter accounts. I ended up withdrawing my application because that seemed frivolous and nosy. But it did give me pause to consider my "online brand" and whether or not it was professional, and if I should work on keeping that up.

Benson Leung: avoid this type of USB Type C cable at all costs
Of course they can. This has nowhere near the wealth spreading effects of an IPO though. First of all, most employees do not own shares but rather options. Option-holders do not receive dividends. You must exercise options to become a shareholder and most rank and file people cannot do this without selling the stock at the same time because it requires them to put cash in. The kind of middle class folks Mr. Cuban wants to enrich do not typically have thousands to invest in their employer.

I did this once prior to an acquisition of a company I worked for and lost the money. It's pretty much a stupid move unless you are already wealthy and a founder or controlling exec with better insight and control over the outcome.

Also, when an employee exercises options and then sells the resulting share in a public company, they receive a multiple of earnings. Earnings != dividends but suppose all the earnings in a period were paid out as a dividend (they wont be of course) -- the shareholder will get only that amount whereas if they sell the share, they will receive a multiple often 10-15x or more of earnings. Most people benefit more from an exciting lump sum payout than an unpredictable drip at a time.

What you described is the current replacement for auto-bind (that React.createClass used to do for you). The issue arises when you have not just one SubComponent, but n SubComponents that require the parent method bound to the subcomponent's index, e.g. you have a deleteItemAtIndex method, and you only want to expose {deleteItem: deleteItemAtIndex.bind(this, i)} to each child component. ES6 React classes don't have any special way of handling this.

To re-iterate the possible solutions I've considered:

- Don't pass in a bound method; give the component the unbound method and its index and the child component can call it with the index passed in itself.
- Generalize this to a re-usable intermediary component that does for you (it does feel a bit dirty)
- Write your own bind function that annotates the bound function with original function + params allowing you to do a "deep" equality check, and then use a variant of PureRenderMixin that does this "deep" equality check.

Honestly, all of the solutions feel a bit hacky, but I've gravitated towards the first and second options.

They're mind blowingly maintenance intensive. I forget the numbers, and I'm sure google will dig something up, but it was something like each Abrams must have 5-10 support vehicles, and requires a full engine rebuild every x hours (where x was shockingly small - like 100)
Do you literally mean a proof-of-work backed blockchain (like Bitcoin), or something more like git, which has a similar structure to a blockchain without the consensus mechanism?

I don't see how the former would be useful to someone deploying containers, but interested to hear your thoughts in either case.
1) Same amount to each citizen.

2) The farmer would either pass the cost along to the customer, including the stock broker, or would ideally switch to low carbon alternatives. Over time, lower carbon emitting farmers would be more cost efficient and would gain marketshare.

3) A carbon tax would be largely invisible to most people. It would be collected from oil refineries and power plants, primarily.
Yes. `--ip` is supported only on user-defined networks. That is because, the subnet for the default bridge (docker0) can be changed (via --bip) or user can change the user-specified default bridge (via -b) on daemon restarts. If the subnet backed by these default bridge's change, then the container with a assigned `--ip` will fail as well.

Having said that, with Docker 1.9 & above, IP address management and Network plumbing are separate concerns and both are pluggable.
One could implement a network plugin with any logic and continue to enjoy all the built-in IPAM features (including --ip). Hence, if you have a specific network plumbing requirement, you could easily spin up a plugin (or use one of the many network plugins that are available out there).
Hindu Temples and How They're Dedicatedly Staring into a Financial Abyss
Ugh. For the last time. A hyperlink is not a special kind of descriptor.

You could very easily write a browser plug-in that would take addresses of the form: "there is a website on the Internet that is named example.com and on the server upon which example.com runs, there is a directory named /files, within which there is a regular file named index.html".

See ? So it's just speech. It's not special speech, it's not interesting speech, it's not strange computer speech. It's just plain old speech.

I have been trying, for 14 years[1][2] to erase this distinction with the thought experiment of the "natural language hyperlink" and I had hoped that this "issue" would just disappear.

Do I really have to write that plug-in ? Really ?

If you've spent any amount of time in the US, outside of the handful of dense urban areas with subways, you'd know that public transportation cannot serve our needs. We are too spread out. We made our choices on this long ago and there's really no going back. Interestingly, automated cars will solve most, if not all, problems with car transportation.

I had another go at this new release after failing to get any of the 0.9.x releases to suit my use case of massively high volume writes. Now that I managed to get some of my data in it, aggregation queries seem to be lagging in speed, I would like to know more about what is actually being done currently to improve the query speed rather than waiting out for the v0.11 release as I am deciding whether InfluxDB is the way forward for my use case.
I would love to see some good (and up to date) documentation on replacing graphite with influxdb (retention, rollups, etc).

Last time I tried it out I vaguely recall that configuring rollups was kind of painful -- lots of nearly duplicate CS queries, even for a relatively small number of series.

I'm not sure why, but it seems many comments on this thread seem to have taken to the idea that because Uber would use autonomous vehicles, that means Uber would own the vehicles. Though that is a possibility, it is still also possible that you would rent out your self-driving car when you're not using it. Meaning the same business model would continue. I suggest we may see a mix of these two models.

The gmail metaphor is a good one.

Unfortunately the FUSE model isn't as simple to implement as it might seem. For performance reasons we're going to have to accept writes locally and push to the server in the background, which means all the same conflict resolution logic needs to be there. (In our case "there" means the client; the server can't help us, because it doesn't have any keys.) It's not clear exactly how much we'll be able to do for you without an internet connection, but the files you've read recently at least will need to stay in cache somehow. Fun times :)
I mean, some groups of people on earth are uncontactable or their existence is unknown (see Sentinelese, people in the Amazon). So you have to make a compromise at some point. The choice of percentile is somewhat arbitrary.

This is often very had to track. The solution is income tax breaks for the poor.
Australia did this with our carbon pricing. The tax free threshold(income below which you're not taxed on) was raised a significantly to compensate the poor without having to track their actual usage.

> The reliance on the stock markets is mostly a phenomena of the English speaking countries

That should be corrected to say: the massive benefit of stock markets was mostly first realized in English speaking countries, and then was increasingly adopted by everyone else (recently Myanmar) because it was so blatantly beneficial.

That weakness on the part of France (probably the most stagnate major economy of the last 50 years), Japan (25 years of backward progress) and Germany (no growth in eight years) has resulted in immense stagnation when it comes to entrepreneurial business activity and innovation. It's why so much of the German, French and Japanese economies are dominated by old family controlled businesses, that pass down their ownership through the generations instead of giving their wealth to charity, while the opposite is overwhelmingly true of America. Very few of the biggest companies in the US are extremely old, and very few are still controlled by stagnate clans (Walmart for example is merely 53 years old). The US approach has resulted in far greater turn-over among the giant companies. Amazon.com exists courtesy of the IPO and very receptive public market, which funded Amazon's build-out and has enabled them to begin destroying Walmart.

It's why those nations are so behind the US when it comes to venture capital and technology companies (which need to move especially fast). Slow moving, risk averse banks are a terrible choice compared to a properly functioning IPO market (the sort that the US had prior to recent regulations).
I think another fundamental difference between cleaning and cab rides is that with cab rides you're essentially buying a different product each time (because you are going to/from different points) so the value of a marketplace is much higher. With cleaning services, you're buying the same product again and again (same house, same procedure, etc.) so the marketplace is just a useless middleman.

I'm going to cover this in my next post, but I've found that using PureRenderMixin with fairly large number of items (~100s) works. The non-trivial step is often identifying why your subcomponents are still re-rendering, which I solved by writing a mixin that logs to the console what props/state is deep equal but not shallow equal (i.e. where PureRenderMixin should theoretically work).

But I agree, it's still not perfect. You avoid doing the more expensive virtual DOM comparison, but you still have to iterate over all the items to do the PureRenderMixin checks. And it is still O(n) time, just with a smaller constant.

Another solution is to not actually render all the children, just the ones that are visible on the screen, i.e. using some React implementation of infinite lists (see: https://facebook.github.io/fixed-data-table/ )

Another idea that I've been thinking about is to arbitrarily fragment your list into lists (possibly of fixed size, or a fixed number of fragments). Each fragment gets its own subcomponent, so we can avoid rendering fragments that haven't changed. For example, instead of a list of 100 items, we treat it as 10 lists of 10 items. If we change one item, we end up instantiating 10 components, and then recursing into the single fragment that has changed, instead of over all 100 items.
I dunno if this is kosher, but if someone who qualifies wants to go through the process of applying and posting the rates, there would be a wealth of gratitude in it for you.

> They are not the real golden goose for the company. The big money comes from enterprise contracts.

I wonder how much of a halo effect the enterprise contracts get from the open source community. People flock to github for their personal projects, and then recommend it at work when the need comes up because that is what people are familiar with.

I suspect the community is more of a golden goose than some people think. Kill the community and you'll kill the site. It's not like it's difficult to clone and upload a repository to some other site.
No, you just need a version of the client that supports it. The publicly-available client doesn't support it on all platforms yet.

Displacement taxes are a terrible idea and lead to unintended consequences. Displacement has only a weak correlation with carbon emissions. Which is worse: a 1.3l engine driven 30000km per year or a 5.0l engine driven 3000km per year? And if the manufacturer adds a turbocharger to the 1.3l engine the real-world fuel consumption will rise significantly even though displacement remains unchanged.
