Flipkart is still a market leader by a considerable margin. Its main stay has been electronics and fashion retailing. It is excelling at both, and shows no signs of slowing down. It has managed to attract top-tier engineering talent in the Country (India), by offering generous wages and generally because it has some very tough problems to solve.

Amazon has been making in-roads, capturing a size-able market share, but dare I say they're imitating Flipkart to an extent, and that's a testament to innovativeness with which Flipkart has worked all along.

Despite the picture the article is trying to portray, Flipkart is well and truly an established business at this point. Sure they're making losses, but retailing is a tough-nut. In order to capture a rapidly growing internet-base, Flipkart and others need to take those hits-- they need to trade growth with profit, unless their end-game is to get acquired.

It is pretty natural trajectory an e-commerce company to take, IMO. These firms doing a re-valuation of their investments does look scary, and probably they did so having looked at the financials and the potential-- but the correction in the valuation is just a blip. Retailing is hard-- customers want discounts, VCs want growth, Markets want profit... you have to choose two and ignore the rest, I guess.
> On top of that requiring a percentage to be produced locally is just asking for trouble in a country with as much corruption is India.

Not sure that I understand the reasoning behind this. Are you saying that if a country has corruption then it shouldn't manufacture? If that's the case, you have excluded 90% of the countries including China from manufacturing.

Hi,

The most important factor for startups is to articulate a vision to employees who come on board afterward, so that everyone will work together to fullfil the vision.
When you move you change acquaintances, you don't lose friends unless you already wanted to lose touch with them. I know it sounds like a no true Scotsman but with cheap airlines, skype, online gaming etc. it's pretty easy to keep in touch if you actually want to.

This problem should be solved starting from foundation (children education), not stupid, irrational quotas.

> help me audit what my network is doing, and create firewall rules

We need be a better solution than this! I already dread having to configure and tweak firewalls every time I add a new device or install a new application.

Even with the most user-friendly firewall in the world, we'll still end up in a world where 99% of users don't do anything and have no security/privacy. And the 1% of technical users will end up breaking basic functionality because they blocked something that the manufacturer of the device or app deemed to be an essential connection.

Thinking out of the box for a moment: If you install a camera, suppose your router automatically encrypted everything coming out of the camera such that it could only be decrypted on your smartphone, or whatever you're using to view the feed from your camera. The encryption, decryption, and keys are completely independent of and outside of the control of camera manufacturer. The encryption is unavoidable; even if they get a secret feed of the video, they cannot decrypt it.

Instead of the router, perhaps it's the device driver that does the encryption. The point is that this is something automatically done whenever you plug in a camera and which the camera manufacturer cannot subvert. (This idea is for cameras and such. For other kinds of IoT devices, this particular idea may or may not help.)

IO monad doesn't hide state, it says right in the type that it's IO. Neither do other monads that "hide" state according to you, because they actually specify that they use state right in the type signature.

OOP approach hides state because it uses private variables that might be modified in the body of the function. Yet there is nothing in the type signature that states that this function is not referentially transparent!
I agree that calendar reform is futile, it's more useful to have a universal standard than trying to get everyone to agree on a marginally better one. But it's fun to think about how you could design the calendar from scratch, or how we should do it on Mars.

Besides social inertia, I have not heard a good argument for lunar months. I convert months to day numbers (feb 29 becomes day 60) in my head, which makes reasoning about longer time scales a little easier.

Lewin thought that this idea of friends as fast fashion—easily acquired,
emotionlessly discarded when worn out—might be spurred by the United
States’s high level of residential mobility. American society was mobile in
his day and has only gotten more mobile since.

How does the author square this with all of the recent studies that show that American residential mobility is at an all-time low? [1] And yet it doesn't seem that the average American is making more deep friendships, even though he or she is staying for longer in a single metropolitan area.

The problem boils down to shared library version number compatibility. The idea of shared libraries is to reduced storage space (disk and memory) at a processing price overhead. Note that this storage constrain becomes less critical these days.

Another benefit of shared libraries is security fixes and this becomes more and more important.

The only solution I see is that distros must preserve the role of shared library managers and support cohabitation of many library versions. The shared libraries have been designed to support this cohabitation. Any app that doesn't support this cohabitation should be fixed or rejected.

Shared libraries should have a version release and patch number. The apps should only depend on version and release number. The patch number is for bug fixes.

Users ahould have specific permissions to add new software, which can be enforced by write access to the shared library directory. Users should not be allowed to install crappy and insecure software/libraries on computers shared with other users.
That's not an edge case. It's a bona fide bug. Back when pretty URL wasn't a thing yet the logic behind the controller should never redirects you to an hidden/draft post.
> Any reason?

Yes. The full recommendation reads "This time round, we’re recommending a 2.5A adapter if you want to connect power-hungry USB devices to the Raspberry Pi."

So I guess the assumption is the average person won't connect power-hungry USB devices to their Pi 3.
1Gb of RAM. What a shame. I wonder if there will be a 3+ any time soon. If these had 4Gb RAM they might be a serious bit of kit.
Yes, they're very common in build.sbt files. How else would you add library dependencies?

I know exactly what they do; the underlying reasoning is very consistent, maybe even elegant. But if you don't know and need to understand/modify a build.sbt file, it's very tricky to find out.
The Inkscape to Spine exporter sounds very interesting. It would be great if your repo also included an example SVG and maybe a screenshot so users can get a feeling of functionality.

That makes sense though I don't see a 2.5A adapter to order separately on their website (because I might be needing one later).

I think the urban draining referred to the inner core of each city, not the entire metro area.

This has certainly been my experience. All the hackathons I've participated in have felt very geared toward corporate shilling, and most of the prizes are for "best use of [company's product]".

I was using hyper-v on windows 8.1 (now 10) machine that I use as a server. I didn't want to run a local VM as I was connecting from a laptop running windows 7.

> crates.io doesn't has so powerful things like Java has in maven

Could you elaborate on this? I'm only using maven in a few projects and have only shallow experience with it.
I use them with webcams and motion software for a budget cctv solution. I had some issues with reliability that I kludged around by setting them to reboot once a day. I also use them for basic network monitoring with munin and smokeping.
In the cpu benchmarking, the graph would suggest single core performance is ~200% faster than the Pi Zero, but the text states it as just 48% faster.
Curiously the list of supported platforms includes NetBSD and OpenBSD but not FreeBSD. Since FBSD can run gambit, and install it as a package, it would seem LambdaNative should work on FBSD. Haven't looked into the question yet so maybe there's a logical reason for leaving FBSD off the list. Would be interesting to find out what it's about.
Maven is the best build tool I've used, with any language. You have to really embrace its declarative, convention-over-configuration style, but once you do it's wonderful: just declare the projectId, groupId and version, and any dependencies, and there, you're done.
I agree, however I tried to stay true to the original title!
Ah right. I don't use Hyper-V because I want to be able to use USB devices under Linux. I've had a lot more problems under Hyper-V than I have with VirtualBox. Both can't be installed side by side, either, you'd have to remove the boot flag or uninstall Hyper-V before you can use VirtualBox.

VirtualBox also does clipboard and file sharing, but only with the Guest Additions (only tested under a recent Ubuntu).
Is anyone else surprised by the 1-2%? Eg: 62.3 to 63.8%. Looks like $250/mo doesn't go very far. But then below, it mentions Newark where the results are staggering: those taking transit increased from 4% to 57%. I must be missing something; can someone summarize?

The light rail between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami (really between West Palm beach to Miami) runs alongside I-95 (the Tri-Rail, named so because of the tri-county area) and that's it for light rail in South Florida. So unless your work is near a Tri-Rail station, or you're willing to transfer to a bus, working just about anywhere doesn't make it work while for most people.

Now, it just so happens that there's a Tri-Rail station right next to the building I work in, and I happen to live less than a mile from a Tri-Rail station. When when I ran the numbers a few years ago, it was still cheaper to drive than to ride the train (mainly because I work from home two days a week). It's not a time factor either---I drive during non-rush hour (a perk of being a programmer) and either way, it takes about the same time to drive as to take the train (I have taken the trip once or twice).

Now that gas prices have plummeted, even if I had to drive into the office five days a week, it would still be cheaper.

That said, there are people in the office that take the train, but they live further from the office than I do and for them, it is cost effective, even if they arrive late to the office about 10% of the time (mostly due to suicides and people stopping on the rails).
Please do! This sounds like an AMAZING setting, can't wait to try it out in my city :)

Where i live i wish we had more of them and that they were more advertised so people are aware of these events. you don't have to go but the one hackathon i went to was a good event. I'd go again. it was small scale, there were few students there mostly people with jobs. half could not code, most were not very good. but it was cool. i impressed a few people with my skills met some interesting international people (who had flown in for this). one of the more memorable experiences of my life. I think the best hackathons are those which mix up the teams. other than that, please bring me more hackathons. people need to spend their free time on something, right?
Although I'd not go if i had to be selected for them. the organisers need to be somewhat grateful for the fact people would like to attend and the atmosphere needs to be friendly rather than uber competitive.
Another thing I heard is that if you put jobs near transit, you get far more riders than if you put housing near transit.

The title uses the word "high-tech", while the article uses "Hot startup", I doubt if Yelp can still be classified as a "Hot startup". Answering whether Yelp is truly "high-tech" does not matters since the article makes no assertion that relies on assuming Yelp to be "High-Tech".

The article is selling standard business analysis, packaged as if it was some kind of brilliant visionary insight. This "Retro analysis"completely ignores new streams of businesses that Yelp is getting into such as Food delivery. These typically have much higher revenue albeit at lower margins, than just advertising. Not factoring it is a gross miscalculation. The article also fails to compare Yelp with Grubhub. Which would have produced a much more realistic expectation.

The article reminds me of this video by Steve Jobs discussing how Marketing & Sales end up destroying companies.

Can you elaborate on your comment that Amazon is imitating Flipkart to an extent? Are there specific examples where Amazon is doing this? Is it possible to learn from the Indian market and bring those ideas to a more global audience?

Also, one can use volcanic pummic and/or ground apricot seeds to accomplish nearly the same thing without killing the ocean. I would humbly suggest these microplastics should be outlawed entirely and there should be more requirements to capture, prevent and recycle plastic and other debris from ending up in runoff, which should be only water or nontoxic organic matter.

I always liked the One Minute Manager's take on this.

The idea is that everyone should be able to state their current goals and progress within a minute. And that's how long your meeting with your manager should be. If you can't do that, it's too complicated.

Other meetings, like brain storms with mutually trusting participants, can of course be longer.

I did learn something doing this DIY project. But at the end of the day there is also the question of whether I enjoyed using these new tool, and I am afraid that I have done all the CRON editing I could stand.

I'd guess that in most places, unless there's road tolls, driving is going to be cheaper than public transit if you already have a car. The nice thing about cities is you can make not having a car a viable option.
@Daneel_ heres some initial figures from pimoroni:

"The built-in Wireless LAN and Bluetooth and the more powerful processor mean that the Raspberry Pi 3 draws about twice the current of its predecessor when under heavy CPU load (750mA vs 360mA)." ~ http://blog.pimoroni.com/raspberry-pi-3/
Ah, thanks for that information!
This summarizes my entire experience with higher mathematics (and in fact academia in general).

To be fair, this is mostly because in order to have an in-depth conversation about a topic you first need to make sure everybody involved shares the same definitions. And in this case it's also because naming things is hard and "regular" knots are not very interesting in mathematics.
If you're using nginx, I'm fairly sure you can do an 'internal' directive so that `?id=12345` style URLs won't work when you try typing them in a browser, but nginx can still rewrite the URLs to map slugs to IDs.

I haven't tried it with WordPress, but I did do something similar on a custom CMS.

That said, there are better approaches. You can use a plugin to set publish dates in the future, and before that the page will return a 404 (unless you're logged in).
For Ubuntu, I've used xfce4 desktop and X2Go quite successfully from Windows. I now pretty much always install xubuntu if I want to RDP into it.
