I wonder if in the future we will look back on history and understand that what is happening with Japan is just a natural result of transitioning to a no-growth economy.

In the USA, everything is set up to require growth, or we get collapse. Except for family owned businesses that tend to take a long term view and also modern decentralized 'limited profit' companies (even better if their charters use blockchain tech), all big business requires growth as does our government.

I know I am asking for a lot, but I would like to see a non-growth (or cyclical growth) mindset become the new normal. This would require new ideas about currency, the benefits of small local businesses over global businesses, etc.
Why did the gold standard cause the depression to linger? Because the standard meant less financial tools available to policy makers?

+1 on this. What the poster describes is a symptom, not the real problem. The real problem is multiple folks all expecting them to be as available as a little icon on the screen. Perhaps even to be able to control their actions by manipulating a tool.

You can't do that, and it's not because they're all using separate systems. It just doesn't scale. (Insert long discussion here about multi-tasking, competing business interests, cost-of-delay, and so on)
Thanks, so the main message is clear: it's worth to interview with other companies as well instead of just focusing on getting promotion. It was just not talked about that much before in the software community.
Would be great if each section linked to a description of the functionality. This would help new users and those trying to level up skills. Sure you can just Google it, but it would make this chart that much more useful.
What's weird is these techniques must bring them subscriptions, income, etc. since they keep using them and keep making them more aggressive.

But who are these idiots who sign up when nagged this way?

Are they the same idiots who buy products when spammed?

Or is this all the same 0.1% return for effort that spammers also rely on, where it is zero cost for them to spam even if the return rate is tiny.

If the human in the car isn't impatiently driving it, they'll probably be happier with a slower, safer, and more comfortable ride while they fiddle with their phone or do work on their laptop. Speed has no business, frankly, on residential drives. I don't think it even helps you get anywhere much faster -- it's more about venting schedule anxiety onto your gas pedal.
Exploits being inevitable does not exonerate our elected and appointed officials from their responsibilities and obligation of running the government the people who put them in power want.

Do we want a government that collects threats that are more likely to be used against its own people than anyone else? The USA produces and use more software than any other country, not sharing exploit information fundamentally hurts the USA and the Economy of the USA more than other countries.
So, you believe software should be treated differently from the norm in just about every other category of engineering (and even science for the most part)?

Of course there's nothing wrong with an early interest in computers and programming. However, "actively discriminating" as you put it has the effect of effectively selecting for males from a background that enables an early interest in computers.

That's only true if your origin and destination are both surrounded by parking which makes them places not worth visiting. The thing about trams is they enable a full urban environment of places people actually want to be.

I could go on, but if Hearthstone is the only "professional-grade" game that you can name on Android then you clearly haven't even bothered to look.
Also, how would script feature detect whether the VM implemented TCO? Code written assuming TCO would still run, but very inefficiently.
And yet, that is not what he is remembered for, which is my point.
It's obnoxious how much they try to push their customers into Prime. I too have been using Amazon regularly for over a decade, they're already getting my money. I understand this kind of push it's some free-to-play app, but I already pay Amazon every time I order.
How quick is this? I'll give it a go with our company's dataset. Unfortunately none of the javascript charting libraries could handle it so far. I am not even sure it is possible to do what I want using JS and current technology.

Just curious, what is consider a high-end monthly salary (in pesos or USD) in the Philippines?
Yes, you have made a good point. You could delete DT_DEBUG and shift the entries forward by one. However this would also likely open up another door for heuristics, since having no DT_DEBUG entry is suspicious. As far as procstat goes; the real point that was being conveyed shown in the bottom pane: "Unknown shared object:", the stack frame information was just a side note. In the blog post I didn't make this very clear though since I only pointed out the pane with the stack frames. Thank you.

How are you defining "objective" in relation to someone's inherently subjective utility function? That makes no sense.

I understand the rest of your point, but the underlying assumption is very wrong.
>And in cities where it is customary for human drivers to anticipate the red light turning to green by inching into the intersection prematurely, will the driverless automobile allow for the custom?

I can't believe they are describing this as a custom rather than a dangerous behavior born of impatience. I grew up in a place where people did this and it only took one close call with a clearly drunk driver flying through a red across the intersection in front of me to make me stop for good. Why would anyone design a self driving vehicle to emulate this behavior?

The printing takes time. Might as well let it do that while you're walking, rather than waste time doing it all sequentially.
I've wondered several times, how could a human on the road interact with an autonomous car? For example, if a lane is currently closed and alternate traffic is in place on the other lane, how can a traffic cop instruct the car to stop there for a while and then proceed to cross a double white line and move in the usually-wrong direction? Or, how can you explain a car that a bridge is blocked and it has to take the next one?
The fundamental issue with that line of thinking is that deal-making only works when one of the parties is not under duress. If your life is on the line, you will take terrible deals, because you have no choice.

Capitalism is a system where the companies hold all the power and labor holds none- because if labor doesn't take the deal, labor will die. You can't negotiate a fair deal under those circumstances.

Which is why you need the government- social safety nets give power back to labor. So do unions. But both have been severely cut back in the past few decades.

It's worth mentioning that it's also very easy to set up git for use over ssh just about anywhere (digitalocean, linode, VM or container at home, etc)

The official docs cover it pretty well:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-...

If it's for your own use, you can skip the part about creating a `git` user, and host the files in eg `/home/$USER/repositories` instead. The repository setup instructions remain the same, just the path differs, and the `authorized_keys` file to add keys to will be in `/home/$USER` instead of `/home/git`.

I don't its about things being even.

The USA, its citizens and businesses have more software in business critical and life saving roles than other countries. For example: A 0-day in NGinx is far more likely to be able to harm the US Economy than to help get foreign state secrets. Sharing this exploit or publishing a patch protects US interests from foreign attackers far better than hoping for some foreign state to leak some secret.

Groups representing the US taxpayer should be acting on behalf of the taxpayer.
Meta comment / rant about the bloomberg website.

What's the matter with these web sites these days ?

When did everyone decide that good old scrolling is too old fashioned, so now the simple act of swiping the mouse to scroll down, results in totally surprising and confusing consequences - such as resizing and moving the video, pausing it if I scroll too much and then restarting it if I scroll back up..

Scrollbar position ? Ignore that - it tells you absolutely nothing - because there is the mega cool "infinite scrolling" feature ! Which by the way replaces current video with another one, which starts buffering and playback starts only later, when I've scrolled away or switched tabs..

And of course there's the unscrollable, unremovable top header - a sort of screen real estate tax you have to pay for the "bloomberg" logo and .. Surprise ! A horizontal scrollbar showing the vertical position in current article !

What a mess ...

Sorry for the rant, but I'm sure I'm not alone in my 'suffering' and this is a trend I've noticed on many websites, since they copy each other anyway...

/Rant
As a tangent, I think people are severely underestimating how high the percentage of non-passenger vehicles will go up when we're driverless. I'm not talking about empty passenger vehicles looking for passengers, rather goods being shuttled to and fro. Look at all the startups for bringing you food and various other goods that are semi-profitable even with a human wage. History and common sense show that making something cheaper will mean we make more use of it. The driverless future will be filled with autonomous vehicles moving goods around our cities. In the extreme we may even lose apartment kitchens in dense areas because shuttling your meals to you may be cheaper.
I agree it's an unfortunate word choice, but I couldn't think of a better way to word it without making the post significantly longer and I assumed most people would understand what I meant. If you have a better way to phrase it, I'd love to hear it- I don't say that sarcastically.

It's a privacy invasion scam. At a previous employer they wanted to track our steps and our GPS location and also wanted us to record every glass of water we drink.

It's a disgusting ruse. I don't care if they were going to give me $300/yr, my privacy is worth more than that.
If something can enter the road and you can't stop in time then you have already failed. Driver-less cars should never drive at a speed where they can't stop in time.

In terms of edge cases. Lidar gives a 3d image so a floating balloon is going to show up like a bird and not something to be dodged. Same is true of balls and other small fast moving objects, they are not going to ping as kids. An object on the road is going be detected in plenty of time to slow down and stop or just avoid it without hitting any thing. Or, more likely just driven over the wheels are the only contact point and clearance is high enough for many objects in the roadway.

Driver-less cars have vastly shorter stopping distances at all speeds so they can be safe at speeds humans can't. They also rarely need to hard break because they can start slowing down sooner. Dodging might be considered if traction is good and there is open space to move to.

PS: If human drivers where not killing 20,000 Americans a year then we might debate perfection. Until then, self driving cars that kill 1,000 people per month would be a massive improvement end of story.

PPS: Remember google's self driving car from last month is worse than whatever they end up putting into production. The first production cars are also going to be worse than whatever most people end up using.

Ex-data centre bod here....from my experience, in the DC's I've worked in (in the UK and Europe), the racks used were most often 600mm(w) x 800mm(d) 42U, or 800x800 racks if the rack was densely cabled (i.e. there being a gap on either side of the 19" frame to bring in cable from the sides). These would then sit on 600x600 raised floor tiles, which was a convenient thing, geometry-wise.

But that was back in the late 90's/early 2000's, so things might have changed.
>How are graphics arts students supposed to learn how to use Photoshop, Illustrator and other programs that professionals actually use in the real world?

Are people really PAYING to learn photoshop? Waste of money.

>How are CS students supposed to learn how to use the plethora of tools that don't run in ChromeOS?

The same way they learn to use the tools that don't run on Windows or OS X. In my experience if you go to a good college Windows is discouraged for CS in favor of Unix and professors are knowledgeable of Unix and it's limitations when it comes to running Microsoft only software. In fact for every class that I took that required some windows tool (very few) we were encouraged to use the windows machines in the computer lab. I never used anything on my laptop but Linux the whole time I was getting my degree.

I don't use chrome OS so I don't know how unixy it is though

>How are business students supposed to learn how to use the full Office suite

If you need to take a college course to learn word processing you're probably not going to be very good at running a business.

Word processors and photoshop do not require college classes to learn. They should just be a part of local community colleges that allow people to earn certificates for using office software.

I'm arguing that the capacity of the truck generally does not matter. A toilet bowl has a bounded capacity too. But by the time you're thinking about it, you have a different sort of problem.

The cutoff windows they do give are too long to support your theory (what if demand then spikes?), unless Amazon also retracts those windows (which would also be customer hostile). I'm not saying the constraints you describe are impossible, just highly unlikely based on how every other merchant/shipper works. The tiny gain from optimally packing trucks does not seem to outweigh the additional complexity required to do so.
Thanks! We really do this so that others follow suite. It's sort of happened with Facebook's Open Compute, and Netflix's Open Connect releasing some of their data. Dropbox recently brought things in-house as well, so we're hoping they start talking about their goodies too! It makes things more interesting, and inexpensive storage opens up the possibilities for a lot of cool stuff.

My favorite example is science labs. We've heard from a lot of them that they used to run experiments, collect the relevant data, and toss the rest. It was less expensive to run the experiment again than storing all of the data. That's changing now with storage being less expensive, and they're able to keep the entire experiment data set intact, and they love that because it means in the future they can take a look at all of the information surrounding their findings, and if the technology or science changes, they'll have the entire data set to play with instead of just a subset. Very cool stuff!
The article hits it right on the nose about our culture's fetishization of education and credentials. My brother is a trader at a bank. Going to grad school would cost a ton of money between tuition and opportunity costs, while doing nothing to advance his career, yet my parents still lament that he has "only a bachelors degree."

I don't know what can be done. As jobs continue to get automated away, the emphasis on education will only become more extreme. To listen to some Presidential candidates talk everyone should have a PhD in underwater basket weaving, paid for by the government. It's insane.
In Australia the only sales tax we have is the GST, which is a flat 10% nation wide. There's no need for a shipping address to calculate it.

They do often ask for a post code at the checkout to calculate shipping, however.
Note that this is comparing whatever Babel does with destructuring to the native implementation, in the same engine.

This means two things:

1) Comparing these numbers across engines is pointless: if engine A runs the Babel code 5x faster than engine B but runs the native code at the same sped as enging B, this table will show engine A with a 5x bigger slowdown over Babel than engine B.

2) To make the comparison at all reasonable, this assumes the Babel implementation is correct per spec.

I can't speak to what Babel is doing here, but simply looking at the tests in https://github.com/kpdecker/six-speed/tree/master/tests/dest... it's clear that the "es5" version and "es6" version are testing different behaviors: the former indexes into the array, while the latter destructures it. Indexing is fundamentally a O(1) operation in array length, while destructuring is O(N) unless you manage to prove quite a lot statically about your operating environment, and they will produce different results in general (though again, if you can prove enough statically about your operating environment you may be able to prove that they are identical). This happens because in ES2015 array destructuring is defined in terms of array iteration, not indexing.

In practice, proving anything statically about JS is a nightmare at best and impossible in pretty much any case of interest, so the best you can do with destructuring is dynamic sanity checks on the hot path...

A Neural Network That Dreams in Resumes
This is the classic "innovators dilemma". My 2-cents: Kx has a good business selling kdb+ licenses to the big banks and trading firms. They've been exploring how to expand beyond this niche, but many big data/analytics startups go straight for the FOSS solutions. In addition to the cost/licensing advantages of FOSS, a large user-base and ecosystem has developed around things like mongoDB, giving them compelling business advantages over kdb+ (even with kdb+ performance advantages).

Although mongoDB is a demonstration of how to build a successful business around open-source, it's very different to start out that way rather than move that way after you're already established as closed/licensed product. Kx would have to essentially kill-off their existing profit stream with the goal that they could build a larger business around FOSS kdb+. That's a risky proposition, fraught with many pitfalls.

It is a shame they backed-off of the fully-open 32-bit version. At least that had some potential to spur some user-base/ecosystem growth (at a minimum, this could have encouraged the development of novel clients/editors/REPLs/debuggers/charting/etc...), without threatening their core profit stream.
Theories vary. It's believed in some theories that some nations "cheated" and held more gold than the currency offered would imply.

Historically, things are just as unstable with gold as without it. And if you have productivity rises and inadequate increase in gold supplies, you get deflationary effects. This being said, fiat seems just as capable of that.
