That doesn't match the graphs Spotify post in their blog post. If the batch gets split out into individual operations then Google still prices for each message and each message gets delivered to the consumer. If it's just a single message that'd show up as a single message as far as Google is concerned, which is not what the Spotify test is showing.
Opiates will cure depression, stop it dead in it's tracks for a large majority of people. Good luck finding a Dr to help you down that road though. There is a reason people have an illicit drug of choice, and that is a good indicator of what anti-d's may work best for you.

Opiates, you are screwed, meth, there is Adderal or Ritalin, ( All these probably have had their names changed by now to something else ), if you like cocaine, then an SNRI may be better for you. Anxiety, ideally they lighten up and give you a benzodiazepine, more than likely you will get a med that was initially a smoking cessation medication.

Psychiatry is a black art, I really almost feel unless you are clinically depressed, schizophrenic, etc, if you are going to be a human medicine dart board, don't, be a human health dartboard.

Yes then it would be down to their consumers to split them out. However, the graphs Spotify show from Google's monitoring do not support this and they show the actual volume of messages as quoted in the article.
I can't really believe that it's a competitive space. It seems like a massively growing market... from what I can tell there's a crazy amount of "fresh blood" in the form of businesses using antiquated software and newly formed organizations forming which are just graduating from Google Docs.

In a growing market it's not really a zero sum game, multiple players just means more growth.
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11243904 above as to why the cost issue is a risk assessment / return analysis. In certain scenarios in which potential harm is high from an incorrect diagnosis, it's worth the cost to perform the test completely independently.

A meaningless statement. Obviously we are dealing with relative diversity, not absolute. Western supermarkets in my experience (US, UK, continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand) are all very poor in diversity compared to markets in this particular area of China.

Many of the stability issues I've seen with SQL server have been the fault of the OS or Windows drivers

Conversations I had with some senior SQL server team members in the last two years suggested they were ready for no reboot patching but were limited by the OS and felt it was holding them back. If it wasn't for Windows, SQL server uptime would be much better (was the implication)

I'm looking forward to trialing it.
"Everybody knows how the World War One started. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his wife Sophie were assassinated in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 by Gavrilo Princip, one of several young fanatics involved in the plot."

And what the article doesn't mention: The country of these assassins was invaded (without provocation) by Austria just before the assassination. No one would have tried to assassinate Austrian government officials in Bosnia if Austria didn't occupy Bosnia at that time.
Which is more secure – Apple iOS or Google Android?
If someone is getting layout bugs from font rendering differences they should learn CSS better. The idea of CSS is to program layout independent from platform or device differences like font rendering or pixel density.

By the way I think downloadable fonts should not be used on technical sites and manuals. As a user I would like to get information as fast as possible and custom fonts make page display slower - browser doesn't render text until font is loaded. It would be nice if Chromium allowed to disable loading fonts on a per-site basis as it does with javascript (which I have disabled by default).
There seems to be sites that think of private browsing as ad blocker. A watchdog script and firefox with new profile takes 10 seconds ... why do they even bother.

While SSRIs and SNRIs have been around for years and have shown questionable efficacy, opioids have been around for centuries and have shown to provide instant and effective relief to depression. Unfortunately, opioids have a side effect called "ruining your life". Based on this though, there's a new generation of antidepressants that target a completely different part of the brain. Essentially it's the depression blocking effects of opiods without the euphoria, so low to no addiction potential. alks-5461 is the one that will hit the market soon... hoping it's not too expensive. http://mentalhealthdaily.com/2014/08/05/new-antidepressant-a...

Well, OK, sure, if you select a small subset of the world's population that is emitting the most carbon then yes, you can reduce that group's emissions somewhat (about 10% in this case).

What has not yet been done is reduce the total world carbon emissions. And that is the only thing that actually matters.

Barring a major technological breakthrough like fusion, you basically have three choices of end-game on this planet:

1. A large, poor population

I don't think this article implies we are anywhere close to feasible quantum computers but...if I worked on the assumption that sufficiently powerful quantum computers exist (thought experiment), what would be my available and usable options today?

But am not sure what is considered the state of the art. Stehle-Steinfeld seems like the most promising option from my very uninformed position. Supersingular elliptic curves also seem to have nice properties but I have to admit I don't even fully comprehend them.

Date handling, simple things like postgres date_trunc('month', now()) and especially looping over records in stored procedures without using cursors (that are prone to crashes).

I work with both on a daily basis and there is a mile of difference. Yes I can accomplish whatever I want in sql server but there are so many small things that could improve.

Some of other pet peevees are:
You can't use a lot of left joins, it slows down the query dramatically. If there is only one to one relation, use subselects instead.

Thou shall not do queries like this: select foo into baz from bar where fooid not in (select fooid from bar)
They are the death of the engine.

And many "unwritten rules" like that.

Postgres just accepts the queries and run them..

It's a bit of a long read, but well worth it IMO.
Then what would you suggest? Tradeoffs have to be made between font size and information density. If I was writing a web app for seniors for example, then yes, font size is a major concern. However, the vast majority of people do not set minimum font sizes. From my experience, most users tend to zoom the entire page if they need a larger font, which scales all UI elements (almost) evenly.

Ultimately, web applications (particularly enterprise and other B2B services) are designed to replace a lot of functionality normally relegated to native applications. While it is important to present a nice, clean interface, material design UIs with nice, large fonts and generous margins won't let me show what I need to show without making the user search through menus or scroll across a massive page.
> how could you even possibly keep track of what system fonts they all have available?

CSS declares special pseudo fontnames like serif, sans-serif, monotype that you can set as a backup font. They should work in all browsers.

> I get paid lot to fix these problems so really it's in my be$t intere$t to tell you NOT to use web fonts, and to hire me over and over again fixing sizing and spacing bugs

It only means the person that programmed original CSS code was not qualified enough to do this properly. Why "fix" this by adding multikilobyte download instead of fixing the code?
The Korean phrase mentioned in the article doesn't make any sense. I can guess where it came from, but it looks like the author put the English version through Google Translate in an attempt to get the original. Not many swear words will survive that kind of abuse.

Yes. Yes it is. I want to browse the web of 2006 with an Internet connection of 2016. I really wish websites wouldn't require me to download hundreds of different JavaScript libraries, fonts, Flash, video files, and who knows what responsive AJAX nonsense. I really like minimalist websites that do what they need to do without tens of megabytes of cruft. Like this one.

Let me see. I may not have been very clearheaded and have miscounted.

Left upper outside to right upper outside is 1 side of the square (distance between left and right).

Right upper outside to right upper inside is 0 (I was assuming no distance between inside/outside, maybe that's not a good assumption).

Right upper inside to left upper inside is 1 (distance between left and right again).

Left upper inside to left lower inside is 1. (between upper and lower).

Left lower inside to right lower inside is 1. (left/right).

Right lower inside to right lower outside is 0.

Right lower outside to left lower outside is 1. (right/left).

Overall, that's 5.

Meanwhile, if I do:

Left upper outside (0)

Left upper inside (0)

Right upper inside (1)

Right upper outside (1)

Right lower outside (2)

Right lower inside (2)

Left lower inside (3)

Left lower outside (3)

I get 3 (not 4, don't have to close the square).

Now, making it 1/0 is maybe not a fair assumption, but the width/height of your jaw seems higher to me than the width of your teeth, so minimizing the number of times you go left/right/up/down seems sensible, doesn't it?

If I'm writing code that actually needs to be optimized, then I usually put it into its own object file and tweak the compiler flags as necessary to get the assembly to look the way I want. The C compiler supporting this saves me time.

For any other language except C(Haskell, Java, C++, C#, Go, etc.), I don't actually care that much about compiler performance as long as it does the obvious optimizations. Generally you can look at performance at a higher semantic level as soon as your code starts implying calls to malloc() - and conversely, you can start looking at the assembly as soon as you've removed all calls to malloc() in the offending section.

The other thing that transcends compilers or languages are the actual bits that get stored in memory or on disk. Even if I'm writing Perl, it makes a difference if I'm packing something into a contiguous array or just packing a bunch of pointers or references to all over my heap. Or if I can shave a couple bytes off every record in a hundred million records.

Javascript might be the one exception, since people using it don't have any other choice. I don't know - is there such a thing as an FFI for Javascript, using a browser extension or something?
and 'tradeoffs' doesn't just mean 'webfont & slow' or 'arial & fast' - that's the easy way out. There's also the tradeoff of 'more development time/effort & webfont & fast;

As a developer, I hate saying 'no' to something, because rarely are things just not possible. They just might take a while.

> optimize queries well

There are a few obvious cases which don't work (e.g. scalar UDFs aren't inlined - always use table UDFs), but the performance battle Oracle and Microsoft had circa 2000 really shows. The vast majority of the time you can code your intent and the query optimizer will simply do the right thing.

The main reason I would choose SQL over any of the competition is DataDude/VSSQL. We started using it where I work (~5100 schema objects) and it's revolutionary. T-SQL becomes a first-class language in Visual Studio:

- Full editor integration: intellisense and errors as you type.

- Build system: build (including static analysis) and deploy from Visual Studio. MSBuild-based integration for CI.

- Schema delta: you write/update your schema as though you are writing it for the first time and, as part of the build, the ALTER script will be generated for you. You rarely have to write migration scripts yourself (I've only had to when migrating data across columns/tables).

I have been thinking about solving this for PostgreSQL because I'm now completely unable to work without it - I just wish I had the time. Any other form of SQL development now feels like VBScript development in Notepad.

> Isn't that like saying two pendulums in the same house have a "collective memory" of an earthquake?

The important point isn't that there's memory (which seems pretty easy to explain), it's that it's collective. Using your analogy, it would be like finding that two pendulums in the same house have memory of an earthquake, but if there's only one pendulum then there's no memory.

This result might be regulated by quorum sensing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum_sensing). Like the pendulums are talking to each other.

Nit - taxi services utilize the capital of the vehicle more efficiently, but are far less efficient at roadway/energy utilization (As a taxi/uber has to travel to pick up its passenger.)

> I've seen arguments that some people desperately need every last bit of performance, and even a few cycles inside a loop is the difference between a viable product and failure.

This is a strawman. The usual argument is that 1% better performance is, well, 1% better. That's a whole server if you have 100 servers. People are not desperate, but do want an additional server for free.

> Assuming that's true, then they should be crafting assembly code by hand.

This, and "a few cycles inside a loop", is another strawman. What usually happens is a good compiler saves a bit everywhere, which helps when the program is optimized to flat profile without hotspot. Since saving is everywhere, "crafting assembly" amounts to lots and lots of assembly, not just a few in strategic places.

At the time, OSes were paid software. Microsoft deliberately gave away their (vendor-locked) web browser at a loss to drive the other web browsers out of business (i.e. dumping), in order to lock web development into Windows.

Although to be fair, they cheated the original developers of IE out of their money, too, by promising them a cut of the sales on IE (which they had absolutely no intention of delivering, seeing as they planned to give it away for free), so it wasn't quite "at a loss".
