I don't think that inequality in itself is a problem - it really doesn't matter how rich the super-rich are, as long as the vast majority of the people can afford basic housing, food, and transportation with an entry level job. Currently, the standard of living for the poor in the US is still much higher than the vast majority of the world. If that changes in a significant way, we'll have to become more competitive with the rest of the world, and that's not something we should do until we absolutely have to: although the relatively regulation-free manufacturing environment that exists in places like China has worked wonders for creating jobs and increasing wages, Chinese cities are not pleasant places to be. I DO think there is room to relax a lot of regulations (across the board - environmental, employment, and financial ... sarbox comes to mind), and I do think that this would help to bring back jobs, I just don't think that we should go as far as allowing the kinds of things that folks in 3rd and 2nd world economies get away with.

As an anecdotal example, I live in the midwest and have a couple of friends who have bottom-of-the-barrel jobs, making maybe $10/hr (which is what you get at McD's around here). That's enough that with careful management of their funds they were able to buy a very small house, eat modestly, drive a car, and cover the expenses for their child (we don't have smog laws here, so you can get a serviceable car for < $1k). They're not particularly motivated people, and haven't put any effort into getting better jobs, but they're also OK with living in the bad part of town in a postage stamp house. Nonetheless, their standard of living is dramatically higher than that of the vast majority of the rest of the world, and even though they're by far on the bottom end of the income scale, they're doing just fine.

We have fairly permissive zoning laws and building codes here, and people pop up houses like it's going out of style, so housing is very cheap compared to other parts of the country (the downside being that we have huge neighborhoods of small, cheaply built houses). Even though I don't particularly enjoy the look of these neighborhoods, they do serve a purpose, and I'm glad that we let people build them because they enable people like my friends to live on a very tight budget (and quite honestly, what somebody wants to build on their private property isn't anybody else's business, unless it's dangerous to people outside of the property in some way). True story: I needed a hay barn and I needed it to be extremely cheap, so I bought the ass-end of a cube van and plopped it on the back of my property. No flak from the township :). The chassis of the cube van is now living a happy life as a septic pumping truck.
That's not how Google Express works. Do you live in the bay area? You have to see the ops yourself.

Membership is $95/yr, $35 min, $3-5 for rush delivery.

They get the same data feed as anyone else, just check Curbside's website and see how their Target product listings are the exact same items and same pricing.

Most of the available items are only pantry stuff, cans, jars, boxes. You can splurge but it's gonna be rare to hit $300 buying $2 to $8 items to get there.

Costco has the ball most together. They've carved out a section just for Express deliveries. Boxes, tapes, most of the common items are already stocked. Costco employees are assigned to Express duty, pick, pack, and leave it for the Express drivers to pick up. Easy peazy.

Local delivery is commoditizing to about $5 per delivery, Postmates just dropped to about $5, DoorDash is about $5, whoever's dispatch makes their vig of a few percents just by matching demand to supply. Google's strategy is just dominating by putting the big capital investments into the fleet whereas the other guys have to rely on iffy relationships with 1099 contractors.

How is this different from Webvan?

Lots and lots. The unit economics are there.

Will this work?

Yes. But only when you have the money to wait and last it out and have an automated car trick up your sleeve.

What has Mayer done, apart from revoking the work-from-home program? Yahoo had revived its potential 3 years ago when they made a lot of good PR abut bringing in a high-profile CEO (plus, sorry, diversity, which could bring new creativity and new hopes).

It almost sounds like they failed at integrating a new employee, and since this employee is the CEO, they failed at taking life-changing decisions to reshape the company.

Polynesian rats eat palm seeds, roots, and sprouts. That's not going to kill a mature tree, but it'll keep trees from replenishing themselves.

According to the theory, when the rats were introduced to Easter Island, where they had no natural predators, the rat population did exactly what you'd expect.

Only issue I see with this theory - there were other types of trees on Easter Island, including trees Polynesian rats don't eat.

The UK has a very competitive market for grocery delivery. It's existed using the Internet since 1997 - it's one of the first services I remember people being attracted to.

Everything is available, and after almost 20 years they've obviously worked out how to deliver what people want (fresh / unripe / whatever).

Delivery is still £1-5 or so, depending on time, and the supermarkets often have a minimum spend (or additional charge). £40 for Tesco.

If shopping every week, that's potentially less than Amazon, and with the full range, so perhaps there's room for competition.

This is a good idea,and I too can see it happening in the future.

A few problems though:
1) PostIdent isn't free. You might not be paying for it, but someone is. Also that random forum you signed up for in Singapore? Doubt they're going to support password recovery via PostIdent.

2) What happens if you need to reset your login while you're travelling. I have had it happen before that a password is forgotten or not available and I really need to login (e.g. to retrieve the ticket) and a password reset to my email address is the most expedient method.
Sure, but these are (very effective) mitigation techniques, but still do not guarantee memory safety.

You are right that Heartbleed is not a memory safety issue, I should have been more careful. I just wanted an example of an exploit that doesn't need to escape the process boundary to cause damage.

Actually, with twitter :

* from anywhere to twitter :

you can post things that come from many sources (the sources are the services that the project is able to handle) through your twitter account.

* from twitter to anywhere else :

you can track a hashtag or account or both and the result of that "search" will be posted where you want (the limit of "where" is the limit of the services that the project can handle), you can even build a RSS Feed, a thing that exist at the beginning of twitter but dropped later ;)

Hope this can help ;)
Because if it's a text editor it doesn't have all the info and functionality you have available in an IDE. Run tests for your current function, navigate to definition, manage large projects, configure builds, see test coverage, step with interactive debuggers, REPLs, vcs integration, symbolic refactorings, autocomplete, etc.

Most of this can be added to emacs too. Then it's an IDE.

At my favorite tech interview we debugged a real prod issue they had a few months before. The interviewer spent a few minutes sketching the basic architecture of the system on the whiteboard and then started with the customer complaint:

"Sometimes users stop getting chat updates, refreshing the page fixes it."

From there I went explained my debug steps and he acted as an oracle when I took an action

Me: "Have messages been lost or does a page refresh always fix it?"

"Messages haven't been lost"

Me: "I'd check our logs for anything obvious errors"

"Nope, everything appears normal"

...

Me: "What sort of logging do we have with the websocket vendor?"

"They have a live console but don't provide any persistent logs"

Me: "Can we scrape that to get logs we can correlate to the errors?"

"We did that, didn't find any errors around the time a user had an issue"

....

Me: "Can we try X Y Z to reproduce?"

"When we did that we discovered that the disconnect only happens after a user has opened a navbar menu."

...
"As it turns out there was a click handler on all navbar buttons that disconnected from the websocket. The buttons used to directly link to different pages, now some of them had submenus and opening that submenu caused chat to hang."

That's stretching the jargon a bit. I know that's what Cook said, but it could be a one-off process without the "custom build" leaving Apple's hands. Basically, comment out the time-delay and wipe code, build, sign, and push to the device.

Really the most important part there is the "sign" step, and the fact that the FBI isn't straight-up asking for the signing keys is telling; they didn't want this request to escalate the way it has.
And Google intends to compete with that using
something with higher cost?

The UK already has at least one mass-market grocery delivery company that is profitable (albeit barely - a pre-tax profit of £11.9m on sales of £1,202.9m).

The CEO, Tim Steiner, believes in the long term they can be more efficient than bricks-and-mortar retailers by having a few large, automated warehouses fulfilling orders for the entire country. This leads to better power efficiency (no need for things like open-front refrigerators retailers need) and reduced waste (trying to keep an item in stock in 3 warehouses results in less over- and under-ordering than trying to keep the same item in stock in 300 walk-in stores).

There's a £40 minimum order, and a delivery charge (£0-£5 depending on time of day and day of week), but groceries themselves are price-matched to a major bricks-and-mortar retailer.

Of course, to get great prices from suppliers you need a large enough market share to get economies of scale / negotiating leverage. And to get that market share you need reasonable prices. Mark up the items a lot or charge too much for delivery and you'll always be a niche competitor getting poor prices from your suppliers.

Strikes me as a terrible idea but curious to see them try anyway
Grocery delivery is extremely important for people with disabilities, people without cars, and people who are otherwise not able to burn an hour or two going to buy groceries. It's not just something for rich programmers.

When I order groceries from Safeway the extra fee on top is pretty small and their employee brings it up on a cart and carries it all inside. This means that it's much easier to buy a bunch of groceries in bulk, which means less trips to the grocery store and less orders, helping make the fee amortize out a bit more.

Safeway's service actually offers more fresh stuff than I can find if I visit a local store. The Safeway closest to me is space-constrained (downtown San Jose) so in practice they only stock around half of the things I can get via the delivery service.

OK, still trying to stand up a deployment.

First one failed silently and left the "Submitting Deployment for Template Deployment..." on my portal panel forever.

Second one failed within a minute with DNS naming conflict.

Maybe third time is a charm.

I'm currently using Dokku to run some small apps, and it seems to work well. However, all this magic control panel automation and deployment with weird DSL/JSON scripts causes quite a bit of pain.

This is the most concise summary I have found on the legal issues/possible ramifications concerning this case. The worry in this case is the troubling precedent it would set.

https://lawfareblog.com/not-slippery-slope-jump-cliff

Quotation from,
Not a Slippery Slope, but a Jump off the Cliff
By Nicholas Weaver.

The request to Apple is accurately paraphrased as "Create malcode designed to subvert security protections, with additional forensic protections, customized for a particular target's phone, cryptographically sign that malcode so the target's phone accepts it as legitimate, and run that customized version through the update mechanism". (I speak of malcode in the technical sense of "code designed to subvert a security protection or compromise the device", not in intent.)

The same logic behind what the FBI seeks could just as easily apply to a mandate forcing Microsoft, Google, Apple, and others to push malicious code to a device through automatic updates when the device isn't yet in law enforcement's hand. So the precedent the FBI seeks doesn't represent just "create and install malcode for this device in Law Enforcement possession" but rather "create and install malcode for this device".

Let us assume that the FBI wins in court and gains this precedent. This does indeed solve the "going dark" problem as now the FBI can go to Apple, Cisco, Microsoft, or Google with a warrant and say "push out an update to this target". Once the target's device starts running the FBI's update then encryption no longer matters, even the much stronger security present in the latest Apple devices. So as long as the FBI identifies the target's devices before arrest there is no problem with any encryption. But at what cost?
No the project does not do "RT" at all. Or maybe you call a RT ; a news that come from one of your favorite website. I did not code anything that permits to track tweet on twitter and RT them. It really works from one service source to another target service and not from and to the same one.
That's not a typical salary for someone that age. Anyway main differences are that the good gigs have a very high level of competition compared to SV, and also more importantly the industry is very closed. No open source, no hackathons, no collaboration due to extreme secrecy.

> What's interesting is that as processors get faster, audio plugin makers publish stuff that uses more and more processor.

Uggh. I know how you feel. For a while now, I've wanted to create some sort of audio processing engine (either a very versatile LADSPA/VST/AU/etc plugin or a minimal DAW) wherein all the different components that usually run their own code to generate/process audio are described as data instead (e.g. transfer functions), and then the host decides how to actually compute the audio. This would give lots of room to try new optimizations that aren't usually possible, and you only have to optimize one area of critical code, rather than optimizing each individual plugin. This is especially beneficial when trying to make conditional use of processor extensions like SSE.
I'd say this is an unavoidable decision.

Quite happy to see the "content verticals" being scrapped (food, travel,etc.) and retained (news, finance, fantasy sports,etc), respectively, are exactly amongst those I had summarized with a product analysis of Yahoo 2 years ago (I was hoping to get a job in Yahoo's product team - which I didn't). As in my analysis, I think it's a great start but there are still a LOT more products that can be dropped while some of the strong ones boosted.

When it comes to Easter Island, since the evidence is too sparse to be overwhelmingly conclusive, whatever theory you lean towards is likely to be a product of your own attitudes towards the environment, colonialism, and indigenous society and culture.

This is precisely why I think the San Bernardino case is ideal for the FBI to establish this precedent. If they actually wanted access to the device they could have served Apple a National Security Letter and had it done on the sly. But they're taking the public route on this one because of how bad Apple would look if they refused to unlock the phone of a known terrorist. That's probably why Apple had to go out of their way in the letter to say that they don't want to aid or abet terrorists in any way (something that's fairly obvious to us).
