Compared to an orbital launch, Blue Origin's flight so far are more like a tech demo. But they're one heck of a tech demo!

It's a smart strategy. Take the shortest, cheapest possible route to profitability by selling flights to space tourists, all the while building experience with operating and maintaining a reusable rocket. Then build on that expertise to develop a reusable orbital launch system. I think they're by far the most interesting of SpaceX's competitors.

I didn't say anything about racism. I said that that blog post seems like sufficient grounds to call the author an "outspoken advocate of slavery" even if when that becomes inconvenient for him he says he isn't one.

And yes, he frames what he says as an exploration of Carlyle's ideas, but he's not just saying "Carlyle said this; isn't that interesting"; he's presenting his own opinions too.

As for whether believing that white people are (statistically, on balance) cleverer than black people makes you a "racist" -- which, again, was not what I was referring to above: it's really a question about the definition of "racist", and disputes over definitions tend to be unfruitful. For what it's worth, I would not call anyone a racist merely for believing that proposition.

Well, usually grid systems are used for responsiveness and the ability to have a specific design for individual screen sizes. As far as I read through the docs, unlike bootstrap, this library does not allow to target specific screen sizes like xs,md,lg, etc...

> creating a paradox in which everyone gets less by choosing more

This is so misleading.

When the company in not giving $10 of dividend, the whole company has $10 more on its bank account, so it's worth $10 more overall, distributed across all shares. Now if one share (worth $10 at current valuation) is created, all the shares are back to their original value, and if that share is given to a shareholder, he is effectively owning $10 worth more of the company than before. He didn't get less. And if everyone does it (or everyone but one shareholder, or any other combination) everything is still valid.
Interestingly, this is using mostly bicycle (mountain-bike) components not traditional motorcycle parts.

From the photos I can identify at least these as mtb/bicycle parts:

- front suspension forks
- disk brakes
- rear shock
- handlebars
- tires

So basically this is a heavy electric bicycle with no pedals to push when the battery runs out.

The frame looks great though! Might have applications in other forms.

edit: By looking closely at the videos on their website you can see weld marks that show the frame was probably 3d printed in sections and then welded together.
Is remote working from Asia (India, to be specific) an option?
Reasons to think it's client side:

* Sending all microphone input to a remote server would be really bad for battery life and data usage.

* It still works even in airplane mode.

* On ChromeOS (which isn't Android, but may share the same code) their privacy whitepaper [1] says:

If you opt-in to the feature, Chrome OS will listen for
you to say "Ok Google" and then send the audio of the
next thing you say, plus a few seconds before, to
Google. Detection of the phrase "Ok Google" is performed
locally on your computer, and the audio is only sent to
Google after it detects "Ok Google"."

Oh, Geekbench which can be 'won' by implementing a single encryption instruction in hardware.

Still, even looking at the scores for less broken sub benchmarks, like (possibly) lua and dijkstra show a %50 increase in performance from Westmere to Skylake for the same frequency, which is more than I was expecting. And skylake should potentially clock much higher although I believe the top is currently still 4ghz.

Of course for anything that can take advantage AVX2 (or AVX3 for xeons) skylake would smoke the old xeon.

Here is a new startup idea, UberAir: We don't do tedious things like owning planes and hedging fuel costs. On the contrary, we are all about connecting enthusiastic pilots with awesome passengers.

The pilots get a lease offer for the planes so they'll own one after 50 years. The estimated pilot salary after deducting lease payments will be $1245 per month.

We're also working on pilot-less planes. Once these are done, we'll take care of the remaining contractors by launching UberLavatory, which will lease public toilets to enthusiastic Toilet Managers.

What I found was that (when I still had a Moto X), it would sometimes 'hear' the activation phrase although I didn't utter it and records the next few seconds or so, until it decided that it cannot answer anything. So, in Google Dashboard I saw that it recorded some private conversation, though it was obviously not intentional.
Well stated. Thanks.

Facedetect: a simple face detector for batch processing
While rsnapshot and friends are useful as they provide a real file system (e.g., on a portable drive that can just be connected to another computer at any time, no app required), there are "bup", "borg backup" and (IIRC) "obnam", which all provide much faster snapshotting[0], much better space utilization (a change of 1 byte in a 1GB file takes 1GB for rsnapshot; it takes 4KB-128KB for the alternatives), compressed storage, and more. And if you want a "live" system, they provide a FUSE mountable system that makes every past revision look live.

I haven't used obnam, but from the interwebs it seems like bup and borg are much much faster, with bup's forte being in the situation where many clients with similar files are backing up to a remote server over ssh (in this specific scenario, borg is slow and cumbersome), and in that it's just a git repository you can poke at. Otherwise, borg has encryption, deletion of old versions (still experimental in bup), and many other goodies.

[0] not really an atomic snapshot, of course - they don't make any more or less guarantees than rsnapshot and friends.
Bubbl: a new geofencing activation SDK platform released
Yes, stock dividends are effectively the same as stock splits, and both should be no-ops (apart from obscure legal differences). But I don't see the game theory angle. Choosing between cash and stock dividend is equivalent to choosing between stock buyback and no-op. In both cases, I don't see why your choice should depend on what other shareholders choose.
Suppose a privately-held company is worth $1.1B, and has 1M shares over 1k shareholders. Each shareholder has a net worth of $1.1M. The company decides to issue a dividend of $100 per share.

If they hand out cash, that means the company is now worth $1B, and each shareholder has $100k more in cash. But their shares are now only worth $1k each, instead of the $1.1k they were worth before. The shareholder's net worth is unchanged.

If they hand out shares, there are now 1.1M shares in the company, and each is worth $1k, the same value per share as with the cash dividend. Each shareholder has an extra 100 shares, and their net worth is still unchanged from before the dividend.

So the key thing is that if they paid the dividend in cash, the overall net worth of the company goes down -- so everything balances out between shares and cash.

Of course, for a publicly-traded company the value of the stock doesn't necessarily match the current net worth of the company, and the share price fluctuates. So you'll need to work out for yourself whether you'd prefer to have the stock (with the capital gains liability) or the dividend (with its tax liability), possibly based on how long you intend to hold the stock.

The problem with comoditization is that margins become razor thin, which in turn means less money to invest in R&D, which means that it is hard for a company that isn't already there to come up with high performance (or even entry level, really) server solutions.

Intel ate the server market in the late '90/eary '00 thanks to the fat margins it had on the desktop.

That's not currently the case in the ARM world were only Apple and maybe Qualcomm have the needed margins, and Apple currently doesn't seem interested in the server market.
Better still, there's dual boot; and with virtualization, you could even run both at the same time :)

Had that setup for a while: Win7 as the host - had some proprietary sw there that wouldn't run in a VM - and Kubuntu with the usual office apps on a separate partition, where I could either physically boot into it, or run it as a VM. Since it didn't share any partition with Windows (data was shared via VBox Shared Folders), all was OK.

(Tried the other way around, but Windows - and the programs I was using - were really picky about HW changes and paravirtualization; didn't work so well.)
Sending all microphone input to a remote server would be really bad for battery life and data usage.

It still works even in airplane mode.

I agree that they probably only send speech recorded after the activation words. However, I don't arguments think your arguments hold up. Speech data compresses exceptionally well and generally requires lower sampling rates and/or resolutions. So, it's feasible to compress the speech signal (possibly hardware-assisted), buffer it, and send it to the server at some regular interval or when the user wakes the phone.

At NextBigSound.com, we've found that a nestable fractional-based grid is generally easier, faster, and more flexible to work with than traditional N-column grids:

<div class="grid--1/3"></div>
<div class="grid--1/3"></div>

I've found https://milligram.github.io/ very nice. Sure, it's a bit more than a grid system (it uses flexbox) but it's very nice and doesn't take up much bandwidth.
This is a prototype, a first of its kind. Of course it's going to be insanely expensive in such a limited run. It's also (hopefully) going to be refined and improved in testing, and the future generations will be cheaper and more efficient.

I also get the feeling they are limiting the top speed not due to technical limitations, but for safety reasons since it's an unproven frame. Once they work out the weak spots, they will likely increase the top speed and range, and simultaneously bring the price down to a realistic level (assuming consumer interest).

Yes. Until the next upgrade: which happens with me at the console, at a time which I choose (which includes "oh look, at least I made a complete image before starting an upgrade"), not at the whim of some abstract schmuck trying to fill his KPI quota of systems upgraded.

(And TBH, I think it does solve it better: went from 10.04 to 12.04 to 14.04 to 16.04, and still running well; the upgrades were polite, didn't interfere with normal system use except for one restart each for new kernel, and most importantly didn't break the system. Maybe I was exceptionally lucky, but I dare you to do this from Vista to 7 to 8 to 8.1 to 10)

I think the people from serverless (and apex) are doing an amazing job evangelizing about the benefits of server-less infrastructures and they have an amazing project they should be quite proud of.

Than been said, I think both projects walk different paths in order to achieve similar goals.

What is different with other approaches?

* Isolation is one of the most important things for us. Each of the stages of your application are deployed into independent Cloudformation stacks.

* We don't stream commands to the AWS api. Every single of your resources are created using CF.

* We respect the tooling of each of the runtimes so javascript, java or python developers should not get exposed to software they are not use to.

* Convention over configuration. Perhaps this is because my background is the Python/Django ecosystem, but writing 200 lines configuration files in JSON feels completely wrong to me.

* Documentation documentation documentation: Again, perhaps I've been badly educated by the Django community, but documentation and examples are (for me) the most important thing a project like this should have. That's why gordon's documentation is quite complete (I would say) and we have more than 20 example project including integrations with Slack, Telegram, Twilio... and AWS services such as Kinesis, Dynamodb, Apigateway, S3, Cloudwatch Events, Cloudwatch Scheduled Events, etc...

I think is an amazing moment to be involved in the server-less community and we'll all benefit from a thriving ecosystem like this :D
