Same thing that would prevent some one from writing to the private blockchains banks are setting up for clearinghouse purposes.

If your the security of your cryptographic system is dependent on anything but the secret keys being secret it's time to go back to the drawing board.

Bitcoin works because it uses proof of work as a gating mechanism to prevent abuse, closed blockchains usually rely on other mechanisms as the parties involved in them can negotiate the terms via other means.
I guess the B2 product is growing quickly or is where you are looking to drive growth? Or are you using different storage pools for different products?

It's surprising to hear this. I would have thought that your backup workloads would leave enough unused IOPS that you wouldn't be anywhere close to hitting a performance ceiling.

What metrics do you optimize towards? Tail latency?

>The demonstration in Europe shows that driverless trucking is right around the corner. The primary remaining barriers are regulatory. We still need to create on- and off-ramps so human drivers can bring trucks to the freeways where highway autopilot can take over. We may also need dedicated lanes as slow-moving driverless trucks could be a hazard for drivers.

So, right around the corner except for billions in infrastructure investment.

I'm quite certain that this--like many other things related to autonomous vehicles--will happen. But they're decades further away than 75% solutions lead many people to think.
I wouldn't be surprised if they start out with "last mile" drivers to deal with off-highway driving.

That book was invalualable for exactly those two reasons: the evenhanded portrait of a very complex individual, and a detailed portrait of the world in which he lived and knew. That book started me on a long tear of other biographies of large individuals in American history, specifically from Reconstruction through the Vietnam War. I'm currently working through Robert Caro's multipart series on Lyndon Johnson, another awesome biographer.

An iPhone is not billed as a replacement for a laptop (which ChromeOS devices most definitely are). Also, they can run the vast majority of web apps in addition to native iOS apps.

iPhone development shares first party language support (albeit with some different frameworks) with a major desktop OS, and has third party support for a number of other languages.
The point isn't necessarily one graph representation, but simply that any problem can be looked at in a graphy manner if you try hard enough, so "hey, it's a graph" isn't an interesting insight. But to answer your question, data flow graphs are a general representation of function composition, and Turing machines can be looked at as graphs with labeled edges. Yes, we're using "isomorphism" in the pop-compsci, Gödel-Escher-Bach sense.
The dangers to the environment are there with any well, but it's not just Brazil that is endangering the Amazon, far upstream, in Iquitos, Peru, there are also several oil fields that are already being exploited. And (sometimes pretty violent) protests there are not because of environmental concerns but because foreign companies got the drilling rights, leaving many locals in fear they won't profit from the oil (which I get - it's a really poor area).

And I don't think environmental concerns count much in Brazil either, the economy has been in a long recession and lots of people are unemployed. Last month I did the trip from Belem (Atlantic coast), via Manaus, to Colombia on a slow boat used by locals: At least half the 500 or so passengers where going back to their villages in the jungle because in the big cities they cannot not find work anymore.

They may have humans do all the manoeuvring within the distribution hubs long after they've automated all of the street driving.

Shifting and braking, though, seem to me like the kind of thing that automata should be good at. And I suppose that, once most of the cars on the road are autonomous, the streets will be much more truck-friendly.
Beside the high interest rate and getting to say you have an account with GS, there's really no upside to this. You don't even get checks. You have to wire money in and out.

To put it another way, the only way Google, Apple or Facebook pay an engineer $1M+ is either because of an accu-hire, to stop them from jumping ship to one of their competitors or to stop them from jumping ship to start a startup.

Brilliant programming that creates even billions of dollars of value for one of those companies isn't even going to net the engineer 1% of the value they create.

Bezos - hands down, similar degree of ruthlessness in controlling all markets he touches. An anecdote from the "The Everything Store" which sheds more light below:

“Bezos kept pushing for more. He asked Blake to exact better terms from the smallest publishers, who would go out of business if it weren't for the steady sales of their back catalogs on Amazon. Within the books group, the resulting program was dubbed the Gazelle Project because Bezos suggested to Blake in a meeting that Amazon should approach these small publishers the way a cheetah would pursue a sickly gazelle.

As part of the Gazelle Project, Blake's group categorized publishers in terms of their dependency n Amazon and then opened negotiations with the most vulnerable companies. Three book buyers at the time recall this effort. Blake herself said that Bezos meant the cheetah-and-gazelle analogy as a joke and it was carried too far. Yet the program clearly represented something real--an emerging realpolitik approach toward book publishers, an attitude whose ruthlessness startled even some Amazon employees. Soon after the Gazelle Project began, Amazon's lawyers heard about the name and insisted it be changed to the less incendiary Small Publisher Negotiation Program.”

Depots on the highway where loads are transferred to human-driven trucks, and dedicated lanes for slow-moving driverless trucks? Might as well put the trailers onto a train, and build out the rail network (where needed) to be as extensive as the highway network. We've already got plenty of driverless trains around.

I feel this analysis is missing the forest for the trees.

Most of this comes down to Flipkart losing money to gain gross sales. However you may feel about this strategy, it is basically what everyone, including Amazon, does. Be the cost leader to starve out your competition until they go broke or go home.

However, Flipkart has two advantages over Amazon:

1) Mindshare. Flipkart is still the #1 association with e-commerce in India. Obviously this can change fast. Myntra is the only name for online clothes, which as the article mentions, is higher margin.

2) Flipkart is a local company. In this case it gives them two sub-advantages, a) they are allowed to sell directly to customers (foreign companies are not allowed to, Apple is currently trying to get an exception). This forces Amazon to act as more of a "portal", almost like Snapdeal. b) In India a lot of people are pushing for "India first" strategies that favor local tech over foreign companies. This gives Flipkart a slight political advantage.

The article claims Amazon is "nipping at their heels". It's true, but the gap is much wider than you might think. Amazon pushes how they surpassed Flipkart in traffic, but in actual sales, Flipkart has a pretty large lead.

Anyways, I wouldn't count Flipkart out yet. Amazon is spending money like crazy, and they have deep pockets, but so does Flipkart. At this point I'd say its anyone's game, but with the current advantage to Flipkart.

The real current winners are Indian consumers, getting heavily subsidized goods.

The geometry- and mechanically- related tasks seem like they would be ripe for automation. For example, the trailer reversing problem is related to the inverted pendulum problem, which is easily solvable by automated systems.

The judgement for when to stop with an unsafe load and wayfinding at the last 100 yards of a route are indeed tasks that I'd prefer to leave to a human for the time being. Maybe we'll have 'dock pilots' like we do for large cargo ships?
I think it's better to put more of the trucking freight back on rail. But that requires a lot of investment in various secondary rail lines.

That means public money. Something I don't see happening for a long time.

The article actually mentions that initially we will need human drivers to get the trucks on and off the freeway:

"We still need to create on- and off-ramps so human drivers can bring trucks to the freeways where highway autopilot can take over."
The introduction of tractors and machinery into farming would have caused a similar amount of job loss (if not more?). I really feel for all of the people and communities that will be affected by the loss of trucking jobs, but in 100 years, we're unlikely to look back and say "I wish we kept human truckers", just like no-one says "I wish we never introduced tractors".
Final Thoughts > "... Apple is simply adding new products and updating product lines often times without much thought it seems. This can be seen in the horrid pen solution found in the iPad Pro where charging it requires you to have a spear sticking out of your iPad."

The above seem like a non-sequitur, but seems apt. I switched from Windows to OSX in 2007 to work exclusively on iOS. In the past year: I abandoned WatchOS due to artificial constraints, discovered that the Apple Pencil has an annoying skid/squeak, and an Auto-update from Xcode 7.2 to 7.3 broke my C++ toolchain. The last, of which, Apple QA has decided not to fix, even though XC 4 thru 7.2 worked just fine. Meanwhile, can't run Cuda on my year old MBP AMD Chipset. I may be switching platforms.

Printing, like Wifi is entirely dependent on the devices you buy.

Buy a decent print server and a decent wifi AP (or a decent device that does both).

When I had a real job, HP were the print server to beat for us (a ~30 campus state-wide educational department). Now (in a home-office setup) I use an Airport Express with a Canon inkjet.

Maybe your experience is with Windows based network printing without a corporate network? I'm sure that probably sucks donkey balls, but honestly that's just another issue with the tools you choose. Choose a shitty print server or a shitty OS and you can expect to get shit.
Tell that to the companies that ship items long-haul via trucks. It confuses me too, but somehow, I guess the economics work out.
There are plenty of highways that already have a ton of trucks driving slowly in the right lane. Many routes will need changes to take advantage of this technology, but not all. The on- and off-loading areas will probably need to be created in many places, but that's a lot easier than adding a whole lane.
> Every place is different

Totally.

> they seem to be "right place, right time" but sometimes it is simply that they are designed to mesh well with an existing infrastructure

Mmm there can be other elements such as "right person" and "right way to solve the problem". Sometimes the keys to success aren't easily condensed into soundbytes, so they aren't widely known. Air B&B wasn't the first home sharing website, but there were probably some ingredients in their secret sauce that fall under the HN definition of "execution". We don't know all of those ingredients, but they differentiated Air B&B from the pack.

So, I'd argue there is a right solution for Cambodia's e-commerce, and any problem really. It may not become a billion dollar company, but there is a way to make it profitable. There simply is not a model that's easily copyable from the US. Conditions are very different. There are definitely people working on this problem. Adoption rates appear slow to me. Time will tell when they're successful.

> The trick here is to take something which is is known to work and try to think about what changes would make that thing work where you are

Yeah we are in agreement.

Nobody except the company that a) came up with the stupid idea and b) implemented it as the sole printing option in their OS?
A high interest rate is a serious upside. Its not uncommon for people to have a primary bank for day to day banking and a secondary bank for savings. The idea is to squirrel away money you don't need into an account you aren't looking at everyday.

If its anything like other online banks then wiring money in and out is incredibly easy.
If enough users disagree with that, let them take over maintenance of homebrew.

But nobody actually cares that much, only enough to complain. At length.
I was referring more to the inner-city manoeuvring, and within loading/unloading zones. Getting a trailer lined up with the loading dock isn't an easy task at all. It can be automated, but it's the variability between load length, weight, and the loading dock's surroundings that make it difficult.

A comment below talked about harbour pilots. That seems like a great idea.
There are some teams from these companies using Wiplo. Apologies for the confusion
Can you expand on this a bit? From skimming the documentation this still seems firmly in the camp of a few charts with a lot of options, as opposed to d3's do what you wish model.
> For long haul, you can just use trains.

RoLa (Rollende Landstraße) as we call this in Germany, or just transporting the flatbed carriages, requires a SHITLOAD of manual work, unlike containers where you don't even need people on the locos in the yard anymore.

Not to mention that long-haul-via-rail is only viable in the US... in Europe, it virtually doesn't exist anymore. It just isn't profitable due to various external conditions:

1) train track pricing is prohibitively expensive

2) freight trains don't get priority over passenger trains - quite the contrary. If you have any time-sensitive stuff, better transport it via road instead.

3) rail tracks are massively overbooked. One single delay and the entire system grinds to a screeching halt.

4) there is no such thing as cross-Europe locomotives/conductors. There might be multi-system-capable locos, but there is not a single loco on the market able to serve the entire fragmented European railroad technology.

There may be "just" 15/25 kV AC + 1k5/3kV DC, but every country needs their own roof collectors because they're NOT compatible (some countries don't even have roof collectors, but 3rd rails or sideway rails for the low-voltage DC stuff, and the DC stuff usually doesn't pack a lot of power so you can't really use them for any heavy load), but the real tech problem is the load of bollocks called signalling/security system, every country has their own, including Germany alone with FOUR popular systems (classic form signals, light-based signals, LZB/PZB and ETCS, in addition to various customizations in Eastern Germany and the S-Bahn tracks).

Not to mention the conductors which have to know all the signalling systems AND all the languages (compared to aviation where English is the standard worldwide), and they need to be expensively re-certified...

Yeah, ETCS, I hear you, but ETCS is a joke that would require literally hundreds of billions to retrofit across the major transit routes in Europe, but that won't happen - we Europeans haven't even managed to get our freight carriages to silent brakes yet!

5) There are still restrictions like maximum train lengths and the plain fact that European freight carriages only carry a pneumatic line for the brakes, but no data lines for controlling middle/back locos - so there's no technical way of extending train lengths because there's simply no loco combo capable of pulling >700m length heavy freight carriages with 3 locos on the front and no way to control a pushing loco in the back of the train. Simple physics, the good old screw coupling just can't support more load. There are alternatives (C-AKv coupling, it's high load AND compatible with the old coupling) but once again a retrofit would cost billions (see #4)...

Trains might be more efficient from an environmental and human-resources POV, but they're fucked up on any economic scale - and politicians all over Europe don't give a single fuck, instead they are all letting their rail systems rot to pieces and squeeze every tiny penny from the rail companies to fix up their even more rotten state budgets!
navigating high-grade descents are the wrinkle - truck air brakes seem very finicky. But I think there's no reason why long, sparse, flat freeway sections could not be run by automated cabs relatively soon, for example CA-I5 from Tejon Ranch to Stockton, or the I80 between Chicago outskirts and somewhere in Wyoming.
Actually you can't, for a lot of goods. Reason is that the railroad won't give you the same guarantees and trackability a truck will.

Example: you have refrigerated items (let's say a shipment of fresh fruit) that has to be maintained at a constant temperature and you want it delivered to your customer on Thursday when you ship Sunday night.

Truck: not a problem, and you can easily get updates all the time from dispatch (or if there is a GPS unit on the truck, immediately).

Railroad: maybe they will get it there, maybe they won't.

If the railroad puts a refrigerator unit on your boxcar and it breaks down, too bad - they won't reimburse you. A trucking company will.

I am confused are you saying I am wrong and students in Design don't need more then a Chromebook? Or they Don't Need Photoshop or in design? Or did you not read what I said when some students need more for example Design students?

Once again there are some instances for people in design for example who need more. So the MAJORITY would need more MOST don't.
Thanks, that's exactly it. Some tetrapods are effective against erosion control. But, just because they are effective does not mean they are needed everywhere nor is it clear we need to protect all places which do suffer erosion. It's a natural process -sometimes we want to curtail it, sometimes not. In Japan, it's almost always unquestionably "a good" specially when considered by the concrete industrial retirement complex.
I can squirrel away money at my current bank. It doesn't require opening a whole new account and I have the money when I need to, guaranteed - no transfer wait. Anything above a small safety savings should be in a money market account anyway. 1% interest is still losing out to 2% inflation.
