Tissue paper is bought at a grocery store with each brand sitting next to each other. If tissue paper brands each had their own store, like ride sharing apps do, then I think Kleenex wouldn't have the problem you describe.

Uber still has to compete on price, for sure. But there's certainly friction to A) download non-Uber ride sharing apps and (even greater IMO) B) open multiple apps to compare prices.

If Uber's price doesn't seem unreasonably high, what reason is there for people to compare?
I interned at a large software(around 10,000 employees) company in the Midwest and they housed us together in small apartments that were usually occupied by university students during the school year. They provided a housing stipend to interns with families too.
I've used phone support and according to my experience, their phone support is as poor as the regular one.
Yes, Hyderabad India. But still very less compared to market. Also because we are a money loosing product company :-).

At least in Indian market what most developers make is just based on luck. Mostly on what stupid interview question you can answer, and how long you are in job, how many times you switched jobs etc.
It's a pipeline, essentially. It has been established that the cost of baiting these college seniors is comparable to having recruiters attempt to woo them after they graduate, and as such.

Interestingly, this contrasts heavily with the school-to-prison pipeline[1] increasingly occurring -- kids ending up in prison immediately after finishing their schooling.

I think a lot of the issue is not the software on the plane but the software that manages maintenance, logistics and support; without that working the plane is sitting on the tarmac not doing anything.
I think it's debatable, do you prefer our energy future being at the hands of lobbyists? Because that's what's happening today in the US and Europe as far as I can tell.

EV were always dubbed too complex and impossible in Europe until tesla came around and made it happen.

I follow the general skepticism about money and control of mankind's future (space resources, energy, water, etc) but also have to keep faith in a certain humanity.
I'm going to echo the sentiment about PayPal: they are notorious for freezing accounts and never releasing funds. They've even done this to people trying to raise funds to help natural disaster victims.

This is a Travel section article about Dublin.

Just 2km to the southeast, the Grand Canal dock area is a good alternative to the often busy and touristy centre. "I love this area as it is modern, peaceful and near all the big tech companies such as Facebook and Google," Bosc said. Popular with expats in their 20s and 30s, the canal neighbourhood has lots of restaurants and bars. "This area is definitely lively, especially during the weekend when people go out for brunch or relax around the canal," he added.
Fortunately for these interns, if this does "piss off" their managers at Yelp, they'll have many opportunities available at companies that are a little less punitive.

This is just a hype article. The invention is a cost saving redesign of an existing device. The wholesale wholesale price ($400) is lower than the retail price of existing devices ($200), which is nice -- more competition, but not particularly technically amazing.
This is very different to LevelDB. But LevelDB's claims are actually valid, provided your dataset is not massive, and you understand how your workload interacts with its compaction and write amplification. This paper presents a form of LSM-tree which solves both those issues (massive dataset, low write amplification).
Based on my experience with blues, "double click" with blues is both of those. The click from the switch, and then bottoming out a few 10ths of a second later.

There's no need to bottom out with mechanical switches, but most people do out of habit with cheaper rubber dome switches.
Eh, the F-22 is for land-based air superiority, and not much else. I don't think it is really want we want to use for CAS and other missions, nevermind doing things like land on a carrier.

I think we should have cancelled both the F-22 and F-35 programs, demand that the Air Force just fly F/A-18F Super Hornets (they would totally hate this), and put all that money into UCAVs instead.

Edit: grammar.
IIRC, the F-22 has the equivalent of a Harris Night Hawk computer onboard. That was a big deal 20 years ago, but computationally outclassed by a $100 smartphone today.

My memory, faulty as it may be, seems to recall a two page ad in AW&ST touting the Night Hawk "supercomputer" that would be in each F-22.

Plus if it's three different ones when the world changes and you need 85% carrier drones, 10% stealth bombers and 5% close air support you can build accordingly. Not to mention the fact that one of those can be available when it's done instead of not getting anything until they are all done.

SEEKING WORK

Location: New York City
Remote: ok

I build web and mobile applications for startups and established businesses in NYC. I've mostly focused on Rails and JS development for the past couple of years, but have a wide and deep technology background garnered from about 20 years of programming experience. I pride myself on delivering working software quickly and continuously, and helping clients make well-informed planning decisions by providing timely and open feedback.

Within the past year, a few things I've done are:
- For a major film production company, reimplemented a Python Flask HR application in Rails.
- For a boutique strategy consulting firm, developed a Rails and Javascript strategy mapping tool.
- For an online education startup, developed a React-based chat system.

I have a small number of trusted partners (designers, developers, project managers), so I am able to take on projects of a variety of sizes.

I have a web site up at http://www.customary.nyc/ (I recently started a rebrand, so it's rather bare) and can be reached at paul@customary.nyc
Driverless cars and state of the art engineering infrastructure.
These journalists, along with most people outside the tech industry, fail to see the overall picture. 4 out of 5 of the largest companies on earth are tech firms, and none of them were even close to that position 10 years ago. Software runs the world and tech companies are the single largest driver of the modern American economy, making the overall pool of companies that may go belly up at any given time larger. Public consciousness just hasn't caught up to that fact yet since it happened so fast.

It's understandable that you feel that by submitting the UK to an unknown even higher court you take a risk, but a lot of people on the other hand feel that it's going to be a boon to restrict the actions (and especially future actions) of their State.

The European Commission conducted possibly the largest public consultation in history and found almost unanimous opposition either to ISDS or to TTIP in its entirety, except among some organisations representing businesses, and even there the response was mixed. So who are the "alot of people" you're talking about here? They don't appear to be ordinary EU citizens, nor lawyers, trade unions, academics...

Heh, not my experiences at all. Especially the right wingers in the comments section of my local paper--post anything about bikes, for example, and the folks with Reagan as their user icon immediately come out with stuff about how badly they'd like to run any cyclist down in their truck.

But, even given that, I'd hasten to put anything down as "those people are the real jerks," because I don't think anyone has a monopoly on being a jerk.
This is a reasonable instinct, although, as I argue in the book, it really only explains things after the 1975 KGB-advised decision to harness the Soviet IT industries to cloning western innovations. Before that decision, between 1959 and 1975, when the Soviet networks are getting their start, the Soviet computing industry is often pioneering and interesting. After 1975, Soviet deliberate technological just-behindness does not equate to technological backwardness. One of the takeaways of this story is that peerless imaginative foresight, technological wizardry, and political prowess are not enough to change the world.

Yep, neither the F-22 nor the F-35 are the planes we need, it turns out.

Investment banks on the West Coast (definitely LA at least) give interns housing and a car.
Vulnerabilities in Samsung's SmartThings
Most of the "important details" aren't, as far as I can see. The only big thing that the pool adds is plausible deniability: everything else can be simulated by sufficiently complex tumblers; it's just that the vast majority of mining payouts are untainted that gives this a mixing effect. (You can delay payments and pay back in installments to multiple addresses that are not the source address but are owned by that person, via either mechanism.)

Running some numbers, it looks like about 98% of Bitcoin's hashrate seems to be held in the top 10 mining pools; assuming this isn't a common service provided by those top pools then a mining pool which launders too will have, say, 1% of the network hashrate at most. That's actually a nice place to be in; it means you get a payout roughly every 1000 minutes of 25 BTC (~$400) plus what looks like typically 1500 transactions or so paying you about a nickel apiece -- so let's optimistically say you get a payout of $600 total every 16 hours, or $900/day. Maybe you can keep plausible deniability going even when 25% of your revenues come from laundering transactions, so that means they can launder about $300/day. That's not too bad, about $100k/year, but it's not a massive chunk of the money laundering happening worldwide either, which usually is quoted in at least terms of billions of dollars -- so 4-5 orders of magnitude larger. Even considering how much the network as a whole could maybe launder if they were crazy about it (100x more participation in laundering, 10x more revenues from laundering transactions) you're still only 1-10% of total global money laundering by this mechanism before you have no presumption of "most of this money is clean so the laundered money is properly hidden."

So e.g. if you wanted to launder $1m within a year using our example pool then you'd have to pay in $2700/day and the legitimate transactions of the pool would only be 900/3600 = 25%; I'm not claiming that this is insecure -- but rather that a normal tumbling system could do this too, purchasing 25% of the money-to-be-laundered from a BitCoin exchange, gradually paying out over a year, and reselling the surplus 25% back on the exchange, for no real difference in security (but potential gains in speed and volume). If you charge a 10% laundering fee then this is an investment of $250k to gain $350k over the course of 550 installments in the year, so if I'm doing the math right that's a return rate of 0.13094%/installment or a nominal rate of 72%/year -- plenty enough to cover whatever risks there are in the currency, inflation, opportunity cost, etc. So it wouldn't be prohibitively much to ask the laundering network to invest, if I'm doing these numbers right.
This paper targets datasets of 1-10 billion keys, keeping write amplification down to at most 1x per level (i.e. 5x over 5 levels), and in-memory indexes to a minimum.
