Reinventing the kitchen. Work with a world-class team of chefs, videographers, scientists, mechanical and electrical engineers, and developers to create entirely new ways to cook. You write clean code, love autonomy and responsibility, collaborate flexibly, and kick down three doors before breakfast. Tech stack includes Rails, Node, RabbitMQ, Angular, Cordova, and Ionic.
Some of these options, such as disabling automatic updates, would reduce security. But some, such as DNS prefetching, impact only performance and disabling them would improve security (confidentiality is a key part of security), however marginally in some cases.

I think a distinction needs to be made for the users.
Tumblr gets little respect but it was one of the better purchases Yahoo made. It actually generates revenue. Many of the others were shut down months later with neither revenue, talent or technology to show for it.
And don't dismiss your non-technical users out of hand like that. It's elitist, and it sends precisely the wrong message.
People were losing their minds over the fact that iPhone shipments slightly declined. If you look at the year over year growth (excluding the massive bump for iPhone 6), it would show that AAPL is still ahead of the growth curve.

* Apple's quarterly revenue: $75.9bil

* Apple's quarterly profit: $18.4bil

* Google's quarterly revenue: $21.3bil

* Google's quarterly profit: $6.8bil

In sheer numbers, Apple's total profit is quite a bit more than Google's so there's that.
<cynical thought>That's a nice piece of plausible deniability, huh? I wonder if the committer has a few extra bytes that he can claim were supposed to be there which make a number that passes all the primality tests? That'd be a nice excuse for the NSA/3PLA overlords to have given him...

I don't think that aspect is a pro of Slack. However, the UI capabilities of Slack are certainly pros.

Devil's advocate: the only way to have a single "account" for all of your projects on IRC is if they all use the same server. Is that not a weird, perverse amalgamation in and of itself? Taken to the extreme, every project that wants to truly control its own destiny ends up using its own IRC server, and you're back to N tabs open somewhere.

The political will has always seemed to be to go for a better solution than a few balises, probably in part given there is so much fight to get anything that installing some balises would likely hold back introducing anything better in the near future.

Because Apple sells fashion products whereas Alphabet consists of a wide variety of companies with Google itself mostly making money with advertising? Other than having overlapping categories in their product and service portfolio, I have no idea how the two can be compared.

I mean, Alphabet has military robots.
So what about going to non-Elite College for Bachelors and going to a Elite College for Masters? Seems like a better cost/benefit ratio, considering Masters is only 1 or 2 years and thus doesn't cost as much.
Oh jeez. That non-prime is evenly divisible by 271 and 13597 (among other things).
Where they are going yes but not what they are today.
My Jekyll work flow tends to involve: Write a blog. Publish. Recognise horrid markdown bugs. Go and fix already published blog.

I appreciate there are better workflows, but as a Windows user I'm not going to install Jekyll to publish locally and test, nor is my blog big enough to justify a test environment.

The "drafts" feature basically just takes a draft and publishes it. What would really make life easier is it the drafts feature would "publish this blog, but don't update the front page to link it". I could look at it knowing the URL, and get it right first.
I thought it was a good inspiration with some practical and serious suggestions. It gave me some good concepts (like just "deep work" itself) and really hammered in the point that it's good to take serious time for real deep work, that your life will be qualitatively different if you do.
Wow, what a great discovery!

Some other amazing shipwrecks I saw in museums on a recent trip:

* The Vasa, a Swedish warship that sank in 1628 (in the Vasa Museum in Stockholm)

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

* The "Tang dynasty shipwreck" or Belitung shipwreck, an Arab ship that sank off the coast of Indonesia while sailing from China to Africa about 1190 years ago (in the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore -- just the artifacts onboard, not the ship).

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

I wonder if there's a list of shipwrecks that are now in museums. It seems that there must be dozens or hundreds of them around the world.
Texinfo has actually not been so bad to use, though ugly as sin. Scribble / Skribilo (racket & guile) are both excellent, but have some sharp edges. At least for HTML I've found that using a basic subset still hasn't broken.

I use org-mode pretty exclusively, but it has the opposite problem of what you mention - it requires macros in your editor (maybe a set of Editor MACroS if you will..). This makes in unusable for anyone outside the emacs lifestyle.

"SEO isn't good for users or the Internet at large. ... It's a bug that you could rank highly in Google without buying ads, and Google is trying to fix the bug." (1)

That statement is more-or-less the reality of every google-dependent business in the world at this point - Google is getting better and better at charging advertisers for their product - everybody is going to wind up paying the Google tax and this Quarter's results are evidence that GOOG is moving in the "right" direction to that end.

I suspect it's not true. I've had several courses where the instructors had to slow down because students were complaining that things were moving too fast or they were too difficult.

I can't say I know for sure but I imagine if this were MIT or Caltech, the students would not be complaining and instead study harder to make sure they could keep up. On the other hand, they probably wouldn't have trouble keeping up.

I didn't go to a top 10 school but a top 15 CS program for what it's worth.
And DARPA is ~$2.5-3B which is closer to what Google is doing than NIH and NSF.
What worries me is that kids growing up today will think that this is normal, just part of "how video games are". I miss the days when you paid once and got full access to the entire game, limited only by your own skill. When the game designer's chief concern was fun and playability, not artificial roadblocks to spur paid "upgrades". It's a sad trend.
Kudos to Google. I'm happy for them. But it's also worth pointing out that Market Cap is a horrendous way to measure how "valuable" or "powerful" a company is.

Companies A and B both want to raise $10B to fund a new investment opportunity. A decides to issue corporate bonds, because it doesn't want to dilute its shareholders. B decides to issue new equity instead, because they feel that their company stock is actually overvalued at the moment. Net result: A's market cap remains the same. B's market cap increased by $10B. No difference in future projected earnings/revenue between the 2 of them, but B now leads A in market cap.

Another scenario: Companies A and B both made $20B in profits over the past year. Company A decides to keep $5B in the bank, and returns the remaining $15B to their shareholders. Company B hoards all $20B, and doesn't do anything with it besides letting it sit in the bank. Company A's market cap drops by $15B because of their decision to issue dividends, and company B's market cap now leads A, just because they decided to sit on their pile of money.

If you want to judge how powerful a company is, look at its revenue, profits or total assets. If you want to judge how successful a company is, look at its investor returns. Market cap isn't really all that meaningful a metric to judge a company by.
c may be slow relative to distances in space, but the universe is incredibly old as well. A civilization a million years ahead of us could have colonized the entire galaxy by now.

And in any case, if there is anyone out there, there should be some evidence. Scientists have looked in various ways for megastructures (e.g. Dyson Spheres) and have found no evidence for their existence, even in the oldest of galaxies.

The picture in my mind is quite bleak. The evidence seems to point to a very limited number of scenarios:

1. We are unique (in existence, in our technology, in our desire to expand, etc.)
2. We are first.
3. Civilizations destroy themselves before they can expand.
4. Civilizations do something else we don't yet understand that doesn't involve gathering more and more energy from surrounding space.
Given that there is so much probability in the world, you would think you would want to be certain about things you can be objectively 100% certain about, especially for one off long term choices that have big implications.
> So what about going to non-Elite College for Bachelors and going to a Elite College for Masters?

That may be problematic as a plan, if (as I've heard is the case) elite graduate programs are somewhat biased in admissions to elite undergraduate programs.

> Seems like a better cost/benefit ratio, considering Masters is only 1 or 2 years and thus doesn't cost as much.

Graduate programs tend to, at similar schools, have a substantially higher cost per year (though may also offer more opportunities to offset that cost) than undergraduate programs; a masters, despite less time in residence, can easily cost more after the bachelors than a bachelors at the same university would cost.
No, I am dumb and should comment the code (and provide few usage examples). I wrote it in a hurry yesterday night, it was just an hack and it ended up on the frontpage of HN.
It's a variation of Pascal's triangle.

It's probably a common question because it's a common CompSci homework problem.
Has anyone checked the new number is a prime?
Nominal stock prices are irrelevant.

You can have 100 shares at $1 each or 10 shares at $10 each. Same thing.

Companies sometimes split there shares (i.e. Redenominate their units) just so it's easier to buy for individual investors.

What we are talking about is market capitalisation, I. E. Total share count x per share price.
Yes, I get that, but the word "shift" in this context isn't all that important. The "desktop/high CTR" leveling off while "mobile/low CTR" grows was the important bit. I'm not the first person to call that a shift.
So, IRCCloud? They already do exactly that.

(And my current rewrite of QuasselDroid will do so, too)

That's really nice! I like graphviz layouts because they use curved arcs (that sometimes make graphs look much better). How difficult would be to use it with d3?
Would it be reasonable to say that the following scenarios are more probable?

* The specific version of the software that was used to generate the non-prime contained a bug in its implementation of the algorithm

* The specific hardware upon which the software was run was flawed in a way that generated an incorrect output number from the program (i.e. on-disk corruption, RAM corruption, etc., undetected by the checksums in the hardware)

Ever tried IRCCloud, or Quassel with Quassel-Webserver and QuasselDroid (beta)?

Especially in a corporate setting, the result is a simple username/password login to a webpage or the mobile client, it Just Works™, and has a user-friendly interface.
Very true, but Apple has been the darling for a long time, and Wall Street has be desperate to find any flaw in their plans. Apple is a big part of a lot of people's 401k and other investments, so paranoia prevails.

Alphabet is only just now entering its Apple-like growth phase, however. It would seem that it could only go up, whereas at some point, Apple will saturate the market and have to start going down. Seem, mind you. This has nothing to do with reality, only with investor psychology.
Any good reason this isn't the default ?

In both cases you describe, the company with the higher cap is the more "powerful" company though. In example one, they have a lot more control of their destiny since they have debt and not more shareholders.

In number two they have more control because if an opportunity comes up that costs say 10 billion, Company B can act on that and Company A cannot.
> This geography-based rent-seeking

don't forget about the actual rent, too.

how much of the housing cost problem is caused by a huge number of people needing wired broadband within X miles of a city center, competing with rich foreigners who want the exact same real estate?

imagine if middle class knowledge workers currently feeling the squeeze could realistically live 30+ miles out and telecommunicate most most/all of the time. not only would it revitalize the outskirts of some cities that need residents/activity, it would put a hedge on the insanely fast rise in the cost of housing near the city center.

or at least give working people an option to live further away, have a high standard of life (more space), and still be able to do their jobs without commuting 2-3 hours a day.

but maybe this is all anecdata: i have a tiny place (studio) in the city and i am completely uninterested in spending close to $1M to upgrade my conditions. however, i am willing to spend a considerable amount of money to either add a country home (best of both worlds), or move altogether. where prices are good, bandwidth sucks, and i can't realistically live there and run a business.

this is clearly an imbalance in the marketplace and i hope it gets addressed in the next 5 years.
Commercial software tends to at least give a warning before dying.
Prices alone are not comparable across companies. But if you multiply by the number of shares, you get a sort of measure of what it would cost to buy the entire company. This is called the market capitalization.
Might be a mistake, mid-level has the same requirement
AI is basically learning technology, and they already employ AI in search ranking.
Google's purpose is to give users the most relevant results. No Google algorithm update goes through without users liking it; it doesn't matter how much profitability it increases.

Apparently almost half of search engine users don't even realize that there are ads on the page.

http://marketingland.com/wsj-search-engines-thumbing-noses-f...

Search engines have been slowly removing background shading and borders over years and make the ads have the same fonts as the search results to drive ad clicks.
Slack's ToS specifically prevents doing that. Which, is reasonable, as if that's what they're selling, how would they make any money?
I made a combined CI and staging system for web app front ends based on Docker Compose, Git, bash, Node, and React, over a weekend.

I came up with a way of writing front end browser tests that works very well for us. It's based on React simulated events and a test runner that parses English Markdown for general steps, aided by simple data attribute markup that specifies semantic roles for elements. Plus a nice little React HUD for running tests in your browser while developing.

I also joined some friends to play in a band, moved to Stockholm, scheduled a date for this weekend, and mostly replaced coffee with tea.

Next up is an exercise habit...
Very impressive. I remember being a young teenager when Google first went public, and around the same time my parents were looking at investing a moderate amount of money (around 10K, if I remember correctly) in the stock market. I suggested they buy stocks in Google, they didn't take my advice, which I don't blame them for as taking investment advice from a 14 year old typically doesn't end well.

It will be very interesting to see where Alphabet/Google go in the next 10 years.
I'm curious, is there a list of known primes held somewhere?

Wall Street values you based on future expectations and Google is being valued in part for its perceived lead in AI and the growth that will bring. Their main product (search) uses plenty of AI so it's not a stretch whatsoever.
