It's all very well to say you'll wait and see but most people don't know that nearly every grain, legume, potato and peanut they eat contains glyphosate. All these crops are regularly hit with a knockdown spray prior to harvest. This allows farmers to plan exactly when they will harvest the crop instead of waiting until it ripens naturally. Grains,seed(legumes),potatoes are storage organs for the plant.if glyphosate is applied as they start to ripen it is immediately stored in the part of the plant we all eat. It's almost impossible to avoid eating these common foods.

Yes. The Uber representative implied that a secure web shell would have been, at the very least, less objectionable:

> we noticed that you placed an unauthenticated web shell into our web root

(emphasis mine)

That being said, I imagine a phpinfo(); or passthru("whoami"); would have been preferred.
That is a mismanagement problem there. Why would new permanent income flows not get allocated to support the new flows?

Municipal bonds backed by future property tax flows in the one of the wealthiest cities in the USA is pretty secure, so you wouldn't have to save for a few years.
The stable patchset, yes. In fact, they are using legally questionable tactics (acting in bad faith) to try to deny users from distributing their GPLv2 stable patchset. I personally don't trust people who have such questionable morals, regardless of what technology they happen to have created.
I don't get it. I'm an immigrant and feel happy to have left the baggage behind.

Shouldn't this be a feast for class action lawsuit lawyers? Pretty sure someone who bought win7 or 8 didn't agree to this, even if it's somewhere hidden in the terms of use (at least in most European countries hiding anything significant there is not binding in court, not sure about the US).
It varies by city.
Are there any relevant internet restrictions?

You are right. The military relies on INS and GPS. Most systems such as the navigation in an F/A-18 are INS with GPS to maintain accuracy like you described. I thought JDAM was entirely GPS, but apparently it is only an INS supplement to.[1] Cruise missiles use both plus terrain mapping.[2] Military could probably handle total GPS denial, but it would be ugly, especially since it may mean no SATCOM either. I ponder what WW3 looks like and total space denial seems like a strong possibility. Spoofing is probably worse than denial since it isn't just no information but bad information that could throw off the INS.

1. What Wells Fargo is providing is a limited feed, to a single customer (Xero), that services SME customers and not consumers. Wells Fargo has chosen not to make the API open access at this point too. I do not see that this currently conflicts with their business model.

2. Not that I am aware of. I expect that is because the largest provider of screen-scraping feeds is prohibitively expensive (requires large up front fees and minimum commitments).
>"Everyone has the right to a nationality" in standard english says that everyone has the right to a nationality. There's no actor to fill in, it doesn't call on anyone to do anything.

Incorrect. It does call on someone (the government!) to do something. The "right to nationality" is not to be parsed the same way as "right to exhale carbon dioxide". Nobody has to do anything to enable people to exhale CO2. CO2 is a natural process and just happens on its own. On the other hand, the concept of "nationality" must be actively provided by a sovereign government. Look at the next sentence Article 15.2: "No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality..." How can anyone "deprive" someone of something if nobody has to do anything to provide it?

If you're not familiar with the concept "nationality", refer to the wiki[1]. So yes, somebody must do something. Again, Article 15 was another response to the Nazi government stripping the German citizenship from Jews and leaving them stateless. If as you say, "nobody" has to do anything to provide nationality, it also means "nobody" including the Nazis could take away citizenship from the Jews. Obviously, that makes no sense.

It doesn't seem like you understand the origins of UDHR or its actual scope. Referring to it to assert that non-government "free speech" is a "moral right" undermines your argument. Instead, frame "free speech" as a puzzle of money and freedom of association.

You could also just pick true morels and toss the ones that resemble false ones. Sadly, morel season is over here in Maryland, but with recent rains the summer mushrooms may be ready soon.
That's absolutely disgusting. If I was there, I would have left, and never come back. We talk a lot about women's rights and women in tech, but if we allow ourselves to condone this kind of behavior then we haven't advanced enough towards real inclusiveness (I'm not talking about the micro-aggression tumblr-esqe bullshit here).
As a Canadian who now lives in one of the US tech hubs, the reason I see at least is that Americans can't respect each other if their lives depend on it.

So density WILL make your life miserable. HoA rules, municipal laws, etc, are virtually not enforced. So you find a spot you consider tolerable, and you hope to god it stays that way. If someone decides to build a rental building near by, then it's basically over. You either learn to sleep through idiot screaming and people keeping a pair of saint bernards barking in a studio apartment near by, and frat parties that the cop will never do anything about or you move out.

Contrast that with up north, where I totally could call the cops on someone walking too loud at night and they'd do something about it (which virtually never needed to happen, since people were much more considerate. And I lived in quite a few places).

Now, I know what you'd say. In Canada/Europe/Whatever, it's just as bad! I had <insert exactly the situation I talked about above> happened a ton of times!.

No no, these situations don't "just happen". It's a constant, multiple times a day thing. And it's a constant struggle between those who don't care and can't understand those who do.

I actually consider it one of the biggest reasons of the divide between the rich and the poor. You have the people with enough money to live on the 40th+ floor of a nice building in NYC, and those dealing with the stress, noise and neighbors at the bottom, thinking they're fine with it (but it probably drastically affect their sleep patterns, productivity, happiness, etc...they just don't realize it). The rich just "run away", because we can't agree on rules and respect them so we can live together.

Also, don't forget how terrible public transportation is. NYC has one of the best systems in NA, and it's not exactly fantastic compared to what you can see in many densely populated cities on other continents. Nevermind other North American cities (Hello Boston?)
Heh, my guess is it's the whole "You people are no longer Americans" thing you were trying to get at--like, your fellow citizens who want a different set of (still constitutional) laws are alien invaders that you're ready to go to war on. And that stuff about "sides," like your side vs the other side, when in reality, there's no "side"--we're all Americans, in this together.
How to Rip Blu-Ray to 4K Movie
To any Go programmers ignoring errors is insane. I haven't seen code outside of simple examples ignore errors, and even there it's discouraged.
Interesting. I really dislike that though as I prefer to just learn how to spell the word instead and probably even more mental acrobatics involved. I can see the usage for a product codename to differentiate electrolysis from codename:e10s.
These numbers could be skewed from unequal number of children per parent in these different groups. Successful parents might have many more or fewer children.

I didn't test the limits. All the social media and news websites that I use on a daily basis were accessible. The only interesting thing I can say is I did a visual traceroute and all traffic was routed through Ramallah which is in the West Bank.

Paving the Way to Space-Based Gravitational-Wave Detectors
I wonder how a "perfect" society would devise a system to keep search engines and other service providers from creating monopolies? I imagine they would force people to use different software based on region or something. It would be nice if instead of having a mass spying apparatus we had a mass bug tracking apparatus and mandated open source, emphasized programming and hacking like we do sports, and gave people large rewards and fame for finding bugs in our software.

I imagine we'll be in a society soon (next 100 years) where we 3D print all of our own food and most of our stuff, which means it will likely be downloaded from some remote database. If the global food database were to be hacked we could see mass poisonings. I don't trust security through obscurity in these cases and wouldn't eat food if I couldn't view the ingredients.

The FBI/NSA/CIAs purpose is to keep people insecure so that they can spy on them. This is the opposite of what we need.
>a lot of taxi companies also have similar apps

First of all that's not the reason Uber and lyft are popular. Secondly, most taxi company apps suck.

As air conditioning, but there are other solutions! Ice has neigh-infinite charge/discharge cycles and big institutions have been doing this for years. If your "campus" is more than a few hundred tons of AC it's probably cooled by ice.

It's not been terribly economical to do this at a small scale but as solar gets cheaper and batteries don't there are people working on the problem.

If it isn't already fixed, they need to fix it. I can't vouch for HBase, but Cassandra is stable and reliable now. Cassandra is also easier to scale.
Not that I know of. That sounds like it goes against much of what Golang builds around and the areas I've had to hook into low level areas such as the kernel for NetFilter required me to go down to C
What's the reason for having the ad be an iframe at all? If this is intended to be a low-bandwidth experience, and the ads aren't going to animate or contain Javascript, then why not just mandate that the ad format be a plain image in PNG/SVG (or in AMP HTML, but with the proviso that it will be baked from an offscreen DOM fragment into a static image blob before being displayed) and then just display it as the background-image of a really long div, with fixed attachment and no repeat?
This is turning into a very interesting AMA. Thanks dopeboy.

It is not a Zero sum game.
The moment you actually need to maintain a large codebase for years, strongly typed languages are much more cost-efficient.

Finding out, with absolute certainty, which code calls which code under which circumstances is a life-saver.

Any modern IDE for JVM languages accomplishes that.

It's not enough for your code to be readable.
It needs to be statically traceable.
@catnaroek your right, it's really implied by being a FP language.
> Sure, don't reply to the comments about your personal attacks

Thanks. I prefer to avoid meta-discussions based on emotional content that has nothing to do with the topic of conversation.

> You're putting words in the other person's mouth, which is what you're accusing us of. "kinda sounds". Then you put in quotes a sentence you made up hoping to add legitmacy to your remarks.

I accused someone of putting words in my mouth when they said "childproofed to the extent you probably have in mind". I do not want to childproof the world, and he has no idea what I have in mind.

But what I was doing by rewording the quote I've been attempting to discuss, is a standard tool for achieving understanding. You reword someone else's argument, and then they can either point out how you were inaccurate, or agree with your characterization, either one of which allows the conversation to proceed.

If you don't care to do either of those things, then I guess you're done discussing the actual topic that this whole thread is about. In which case I think I'm done here.
Which kind of applications does one write in Go? Asking this from perspective of a developer working mostly on business apps with Angular frontend and .NET (C#/F#) backend.
and now they are screwed. I think you are onto something btw with the Uber and Lyft wanted to lose thing. Now they can point to Austin and say, this is what happens when you don't comply.
I think [0] or [1] might be a good place to start, depending on what you want to do with it. Both take a similar to this blog post, in that they also use the VGG networks trained on ImageNet. Specifically, [0] uses Fisher Vector pooling on the highest layer of convolution features, and they report good performance on texture and scene datasets even though they used weights learned from ImageNet data. Plus, skipping the fully connected layers means you can in principle use any image size/resolution without worrying about the size of the model.

> Have there actually been studies that prove Uber is significantly cheaper than cab?

Where I'm from (Toronto) the taxi rates are fixed by law and the Uber rates are publicly available on their website.

Taxi rates: $3.25 + $1.74 per km + $0.50 per minute

UberX rates: $2.50 + $0.80 per km + $0.18 per minute

It's not even close.
Define bot please.
I think the missed point is that Spark is very easy. I can get an average Java or Python developer trained up on it in less than a day. The python shell is very simple to use out of the box. And, it's incredibly convenient to be able to either run locally or on a huge cluster. I can use the same code to easily process batch jobs from 1 MiB to 100 TiB. In my mind, it's just a cost savings. Developer time is expensive, and it's hard to find great developers. Hardware is cheap.

No way am I a scalability expert, and I really don't have time to be one. I started using Spark when I had to sort 10 TiB on disk, and it scored the highest on sorting performance. I struggled with implementing a fast disk sort quickly, and I gave Spark a whirl, and it fixed my problem, fast. Since then, I've found it useful in a lot of other ways.
From a workflow perspective, this is basically a practical tickler system (but also integrates notes/collections). Ticklers can be very helpful for removing anxiety about things falling through the cracks, but requires staying in the habit or they become useless. Another once popular system was 43 folders.

imo, the major innovation of GTD and related systems is the inclusion of context beyond do/due dates - specifically the notion of resource availability and alignment towards explicit long-term goals. Done right, this can bring clarity to 'next action' in a way that decreases the incremental cognitive load to select a task to complete - hypothetically making it easier to act in a state of flow and stay in the habit.

Everyone's different, and if any system works for a while thats a win. If you talk to a productivity coach / trainer they will probably share experience that the GTD-type systems have the best impact on busy professionals long-term. When someone figures out how to remove the cognitive overhead of both organization and task selection in a contextual todo-list, I believe its going to change the way many people work.
Target actually did something similar, though their intent was to eventually find better ads for families who were expecting. In their case, fully deanonymizing and being straight forward - straight out advertising baby products - turned out to be a nightmare, and they eventually turned to more subtle advertising by inserting baby products into the weeklies.

Could we see a case where, when someone searches for one thing, instead of seeing results that pertain to that immediate query we see results that match common future searches?

Perhaps the parents are arguing for traffic abatements in order to protect children other than their own? I would be brokenhearted if the child down the street was killed by a fast car right in front of his porch, even if it was his own parents' fault for not teaching him properly.

Or perhaps these parents understand that even the best parent can make mistakes. Kids are crazy. My 3.5 year old was out of sight for about a minute while her mom went to the bathroom, and she managed to move a potty chair over to the front door, undo the deadbolt (which she had never even attempted to do before), opened the front door, and went walking down the street. Shit happens. Kids are dumb. It's nice to have more than one layer of protection.

Did you look at the Apollo link? it allows you to use any db you choose. some of the starter apps use mongo,postgres, rest api. it's quite cool.
I'd use a different analogy - there are definitely circumstance where you'd want the screwdriver over the electric drill. Screwdrivers can't run out of batteries, are lighter weight, and give you more feedback and control while being used. If I was going to be in a crawlspace for three hours doing wiring and knew that I'd need to drive in a screw at some point, I'd rather have the screwdriver on me than lug around or go back for the drill.

This is impressive, but...

"A fast reader exploits the capabilities of the storage system"...

the graphs show that their storage system is doing 4.00 GB/sec

I wonder what processor this is running on and what their storage system this is.. multiple PCIe SSD?

I tried running a quick test but only succeeded in OOMing my 8G laptop.

Even just doing

import paratext
it = paratext.load_csv_as_iterator("/dev/shm/tmp/c.log", expand=True, forget=True)
x = it.next()

Starts eating up all my ram after about a minute of spinning the cpu... so I think they have a slightly different definition of an iterator as everyone else.

Compared to

cut -d , -f 5 < c.log > /dev/null

which runs in a few seconds, or a slightly more domain specific and optimized version of 'cut'[1] that runs even faster (300-500MB/s on a single core depending on which fields you want)

$ du -hs c.log ;wc -l c.log
2.1G	c.log
16197412 c.log

I also wonder if that is 2.5 GB/s per core.

https://github.com/BurntSushi/rust-csv does 241 MB/s in raw mode, so I find it a little hard to believe that this is 10x faster... unless that is while maxing out multiple cores.

I can definitely see how this could be useful for teams that create content collaboratively. When our team works on release notes, blog posts, support articles, etc we use a combination of Slack and Google Docs.

After editing, we post to tumblr (product updates), Medium (blog/marketing) or any one of half a dozen other places where we out stuff. Bold feels to me like Medium with bonus collaboration features + integrations. Tools like http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ built in sound awesome. Add in the ability to create your own assistants (import brand assets, pull up GitHub issues, insert content from your YouTube channel, find the right gif for this paragraph) and it adds up to a much more centralized writing experience for modern work-related content creation.
It would be really interesting if after a series of queries, the search engine displayed a little text block that said something like:

"We don't often do this, but did you make the following searches regarding the health of yourself or a loved one? ... SEARCHES FOLLOW ...

Studies show that a large proportion of people making these searches for medical purposes should talk to a doctor about these symptoms. Here's a number to call if you do not have a personal physician: (555) 555-5555"

No one had any problems at the border. Everyone is super professional and courteous. Those that were muslim and/or of palestinian decent took slightly longer.

I took my own laptop. The only different thing is you have to leave it open (but not unlocked) when it goes through the scanner.

We were mostly confined inside the incubator or a hotel so we had wifi most of the time. I think it's 2G or 3G otherwise. Not sure if by an Israeli carrier or a Palestinian one.
