Of course it would never happen.

Standard British crab mentality. You can waste £10bn nationalising a money losing industry for the benefit of just 35,000. But if those 35,000 were to get the equivalent cash in hand, nooooo....

The cost is the same however. And the payout plan is socially far better for the soon to be made redundant older workers. Sure the younger workers idea is a bit more sketchy - they might waste it, they might not - but it's better than just being laid off and sitting on the dole. Don't forget that this is all in just one location, without the steel mill the rest of Port Talbot will suffer also. Dole recipients don't typically have much money to spend.

> Lawyers have huge laundry lists of these ideas they get to spitball, except they get paid to do it, the more they spitball the more they get paid

This is a pretty weird way to look at it. I would have thought it went more like this: opposing lawyers come up with some clever arguments to oppose your claim. One of them, I take it, was that the signatures on the petition were not valid because the word "certify" did not appear. Because the lawyers on the other side made this argument, your lawyers had to respond to it to reduce the chances that you would lose the case. Presumably the judge did not rule on that particular question because you wound up losing the case on some other ground (or settling). Is that right?

I should also add: I'm not here to argue that lawyers are always good at their jobs and that they always give issues the attention they deserve (no more and no less). This sort of risk assessment is a big part of the job, and it's not always easy. And when there is a lot of money involved, it can be rational to spend a lot of money to address relatively small risks. It could also have been that the certification question was a stupid one that your lawyers should only have spent an hour or two on. But instead, through poor judgment or something else, chose to go waaaay down the rabbit hole. I have no idea. But these things do happen. Lawyers are people, after all. One particular set of lawyers' poor judgment (if that is indeed what actually happened) is not a deep flaw in our legal system.

(By the way: what does the Constitutional "Right to Petition" have to do with any of this? I hope you don't think it has anything to do with your shareholder petition case, since the Constitution only protects your right to "petition the GOVERNMENT for a redress of grievances." It doesn't protect your right to bring a shareholder petition, and it most certainly does not protect your right to win every lawsuit that you think you're entitled to win.)
> travel three times as far because of the windy road system,

Ironic choice of words. The winding road system adds distance to your commute, but a windy airspace adds air-miles to your commute.

That is, a flying car doesn't travel through the same amount of air when going 1 ground mile in different directions.
What is wrong with inequality? Why does it matter? (2014) [audio]
Well, the point I'm making is that I don't see why we we can't have a simple API in Python to define work to do, e.g. access something over the web, without making 30 decisions about the implementation details.

And it's not that I think Celery is the best. It has huge drawbacks.

I merely suggesting that the model Celery and GCD enforce is much better for writing CPU, I/O and CPU+I/O bound code.

How to give a better product demo
To understand, you only need to read the recent posts about how systemd is effecting how commonly used userland applications work like: screen, tmux, nohup.

The systemd supporters are soon going to take away the ability to run pretty much all background processes (including using "&" in a shell) by killing those processes when your X session logs out.

This will fundamentally changes the way you administer and maintain a linux computer.

When told that this change is a bad idea, the systemd supporters said they knew better than you, and they are doing this to make the desktop UI better.

This is one small example why they invoke "hate".

They make a decisions like that every day that dramatically effect the entire linux platform.

If I can't run "nohup" or "screen" or "sh &" to do my job anymore, then that forces me to use some other OS/distro that does not have systemd installed as the default.
You are correct about Portugal, not exactly the squad that will likely play against Iceland. We used the starting lineup of the last official game (I believe in this case it was Portugal vs England on June 2nd), which did not include e.g. Cristiano Ronaldo.

The actual lineup does impact the predictions - we will update the lineups before the start of each game, when the lineup is anounced.

In a future version, we would like to make it possible for visitors to change the players in the team, and automatically update the prediction.
>Can someone change the op's link to: >https://www.leakedsource.com/blog/twitter

No, let's not. First of all, leakedsource has already been submitted separately, but has fewer upvotes. Presumably people prefer the techcrunch version.

It's not really surprising, as leakedsource's article is poorly laid out. It doesn't even have a title (they've put "Preface" as a title, but that's the heading of the first section). Then there's the banner adverts at the top.

>The real source, not this redundant media crap that buried the lede...

The techcrunch article has responses from twitter and others, along with some analysis, so it's not "redundant media crap".

As long as there's the FAA involved, flying cars are a stupid idea.

They are shitty cars if they're any good at being airplanes, and they're underperforming and over-priced airplanes just because they can somewhat function as a car. Now, if Larry Page's flying car company is also lobbying to gut the FAA's ability to regulate his creation, that's a whole other can of worms.

I don't think personal flight devices are a bad idea, which is why I'm working on my own. Flying cars are so contradictory in construction and purpose that I can't help but get really peeved at any praise directed toward the endeavor. There are more factors than simply "can this 4 wheeler get airborne" to keep at top of mind.

Good luck getting a reasonably priced AME to keep the thing airborne.

>But better materials, autonomous navigation systems, and other technical advances have convinced a growing body of smart, wealthy, and apparently serious people that within the next few years we’ll have a self-flying car that takes off and lands vertically—at least a small, electric, mostly autonomous commuter plane.

The latter half of that sentence is plausible. Flying cars are not. Sorry.

Sometimes I really wish the FTL crew did have some semblance of intelligence. It's so easy to miss a small detail that leads to the death of a crew member simply because they can't be bothered to go through a door to save themselves.

I currently think of the game as a ship AI simulator. You, the player, are the AI of the ship. The crew members, upon boarding the ship, are injected with some form of mind-control tech that provides total obedience. Therefore, the crew have no free will. They will do whatever you command, even if it'll lead to their deaths.

A bonus to support the theory is the mind-control module you can get installed on your ship. This module takes control over an enemy crew member by hacking into that ship's mind-control tech.
I think the first step is a website that has all of the donation information. This has a search engine to query projects, and the ability to submit / edit information like a wiki. This step needs to happen first. Once this is working, you can start building tools off of this information, like the rest API and the scanning tool.
This is great news for site owners too! At least some people will use the already scraped info instead of hitting the server.

Not just setting up, but celery has a learning curve which may or may not be worth your time.

I can appreciate why you are expressing the negativity you are... but that's not going to help us either.

So many years ago, nobody expected anything to take the place of AOL. Of Yahoo. Of MySpace. Those giants have fallen because someone decided to do something.

See, and I personally dislike the system you mention. It bugs me to no end to have only a couple options, but the system will only fill in the common prefix. Now I have to look, figure out what's there already, figure out what the next letter is, hit it, then hit tab again. If I want to save key strokes, that what aliases and symlinks are for, not tab completion.

Also, at least in PowerShell 5, if you run the ISE instead of the cmd-based terminal, it shows an IDE-like overlay of completions while you're typing.

Well there are a couple drawbacks. The author is describing celery as a solution to the GIL thread lock problem. However the time it takes to dispatch the job[1] and fire up the worker is much greater than the time it takes to create a thread. So while celery is _a_ solution to the problem, it's not an equivalent solution. Just something to be aware of.

The type of computation you're modeling is limited by the async/dispatched nature of celery. Threads can communicate data structures to each other. With celery, that's awkward with the latency and async semantics.

[1] I've used rabbitmq to dispatch jobs over to celery in the past, here's a good overview of latency in that process. TLDR requests that hit the wire are on the order of milliseconds: https://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2012/05/11/some-queuing-theory...
Also that sentence makes no sense, I usually care more about async I/O than I care about parallelism.

For instance, I can make API requests at a higher rate than most APIs will let me from a single threaded async client.

> a car in the middle of the desert will just roll until it stops

And an airplane will glide pretty far until it stops.

Every single pilot has practical first-hand experience with unpowered landings- they're on the curriculum when you're getting your license. It's a remarkably survivable thing to do, especially in a desert with a road like your example.
"Released Versions" would be a metric more in line with other creative arts on Patreon (finished comics, finished short stories, finished songs, ...). You can still game what constitutes a "released version", for instance including every patch release kicked off by a CI system, but if you stick towards something more like semver's definition of a minor release as your goal you have something of a benchmark idea of what constitutes a "finished release".
6 Ways Technology Has Changed Project Management Forever*
From the article:

"Our compensation philosophy helped a lot. Most of its principles stem from ideals described earlier: Be honest, and treat people like adults. For instance, during my tenure Netflix didn’t pay performance bonuses, because we believed that they’re unnecessary if you hire the right people. If your employees are fully formed adults who put the company first, an annual bonus won’t make them work harder or smarter. We also believed in market-based pay and would tell employees that it was smart to interview with competitors when they had the chance, in order to get a good sense of the market rate for their talent. Many HR people dislike it when employees talk to recruiters, but I always told employees to take the call, ask how much, and send me the number—it’s valuable information."

She says they paid market rate and no bonuses. She emphasizes here and elsewhere in the article the importance of hiring people who put Netflix first.

She was also devastatingly "moved on" herself: http://www.npr.org/2015/09/03/437291792/how-the-architect-of...

I've done some ( very crude ) machine learning , in anger, for money, for some fairly... retro industrial control.

Nothing fancy. "machine learning" has a lot of space taken up by fancy filtered "running averages" and other curve fit ... things. Then there are Kalman filters. I can't even categorically say that what I did was or was not a Kalman filter.

Once you do that, then there are degenerate and ... overflow cases that propagate like fruit flies. You keep talking about "use cases" in the presence of people for whom that is foreign.

The hard part is then accountability. One "thing" can take two smart people who know this stuff well hours to hammer out.

Never say never, but because of observer bias and path dependence, it doesn't feel like that gets any better. At some point, a GA has to admit it is powerless in the face of its own inadequacy and ask a grownup what to do. So what you're doing is distilling the set of ... opportunities for difficulty into an increasingly higher proof.

I bought a Fitbit because I wanted to nudge my physical activity from sedentary into not noteworthy. I've been wearing it about three months and it has helped me do that.

The other smart phone things I really love are notifications about phone calls and alarms that make the phone vibrate. I almost always miss phone calls, so it's nice to have the option to pick them up. The vibrating alarm is much nicer than being woken by noise and also reminds me when I need to leave work to make it home in time to see my kids.

I'd really recommend it as a relatively low cost thing to try For anyone who is interested in trying a smart watch but doesn't want to spend a lot of money.
That is not true. The FDA uses R internally, and there is no requirement that you must use any specific software tool. See https://www.r-project.org/doc/R-FDA.pdf for more details
Just as important, make sure that local governments are funded adequately from higher levels. Completely deferring tax collection from central government to local municipalities creates a distribution problem where poor areas cannot collect enough funds to maintain the same standard as wealthy areas, which causes poor areas to deteriorate even further.

GP here: that doesn't explain it then. We've made offers to candidates that have been very comparable to that, but only if you include stock, which it looks like Netflix doesn't offer.

I wasn't involved in the salary negotiations of the Netflix candidates so I can't tell for sure whether they had similar offers, but I would have no reason to believe otherwise, because since then I've been involved with other candidates and I now know what our guidance is.

But this was a year ago. This was a guy that was at Netflix for a while, so my guess is his salary hasn't grown to keep pace with the "new hire salary inflation" the whole industry has been experiencing, so he went to his manager and asked for a raise, which is when this quasi-policy of theirs starts to kick in: "go interview some places, bring us your offers and we'll match it!" And that's what happened. In all likelihood we gave him an offer higher than he made (new-hire salary inflation and all that), he took that back to Netflix and lived happily ever after.

But after a couple times more of that happening, and you read stuff like this, you no longer take Netflix candidates seriously.
Free <> Freedom

Since everything in OSS has to be free, there is no economic model. Eventually things with an economic model supersede or embrace/extend open ecosystems because they have the resources to do so. They also have the resources to address user experience, which is the most important thing unless your target audience consists of only hackers. (Even then it still matters.) Good UX is an immense amount of work, and it's the sort of work that devs tend not to find fun and therefore must be paid to do.

Until and unless there is an economic model for free-as-in-freedom, surveillance-ware and closed models will continue to dominate.

One quick look at the "estimated" price tags for the flying cars in the article - $280,000 & $400,000 as examples - should be enough to reveal how stupid the idea is at the core.

For $400,000 I could get a decent shape used Beechcraft Bonanza and a 2 year old Corvette or BMW M-class sedan. Both of which would out-perform the Flying Car in either respect. Easily.

I personally consider that definition to be bollocks. To me, the defining characteristic is the intent of the company, in terms of it's ultimate size / position. IOW, it's "where you're going", not "how fast you're planning to get there".

I know it goes against the currently accepted groupthink, but I don't believe growing fast is the only way to grow a big company. Or rather, it might be better to say that "at any given point in time, it might or might not be important to be growing fast".

Take establishing a dichotomy between "self-funded/bootstrapped" and "vc funded". I would call that a false dichotomy itself, since it's not an immutable characteristic of a company. You can bootstrap for years, then decide to go chase VC money when/if you need it to achieve your goals.
