I do not see this as an issue if the comment immediately Precedes the "Clever" section of code.

Calculations are the most important part of the code to comment I'm an Engineer most of the guys I work with have never been formally taught any programming often I see a bunch of code written in Fortran with notoriously short variable names if it wasn't for comment very easy to get lost.

So long as there is a comment saying something like

"Ergun's Equation - Calculates Pressure Drop"

You don't need to follow all the fluid dynamics to know what the code does - at minimum someone reviewing it can google "Ergun's Equation"

You don't need to comment linear Alegbra but at least comment what the code does "//Solve using LU factorization" or similar is sufficient and it beats seeing segments of code like this with no explanation:

r[i] = 1/(pb[i]+t[i]-fr1[i-1]-gr2[i-2]);
u[i] = a[i]-r1[i-1]u[i-1]-r2[i-2]u[i-2];
f = pc[i]+t1[i]-h*r1[i-1];

Edit: It stripped chunks of the above code but you get the idea.
It's even worse than that. There's a special property tax deal for parts of Shoreline. It used to be a landfill, and there were tax incentives to develop it. SGI, Goldman Sachs, and Google have profited from that.

Critically, the vine community is a younger demographic. Maybe Twitter wanted to keep them separate because they didn't want an eternal September killing the "bird in the hand" Twitter community.
Hmm, well as a counterpoint to your point about the FDA, fidaxomicin was approved in 2011 for general use against C. difficile colitis, because it showed certain outcomes that compared favorably against the current standard of care (oral vancomycin) [1]. The reason it isn't used more often is probably because it is one of the most expensive antibiotics available. Antibiotics aren't typically approved only as "last resort"; it remains at the discretion of the physician to jump straight to the big guns before drug susceptibility test results are available (which is part of the problem).

First I've heard of Macrofab, have you ever tried circuithub? I've been using the latter and wonder how they compared.

Edit: just checked out Macrofab and they seem to be more expensive than circuithub at least for the couple example projects I threw into the quoting engine.

Almost embarrased to say, I played pokemon back in good old black-and-white gameboy days. Then I played Pokemon for a two-month stretch last year and was highly dissapointed there wasn't an app for it.

I've yet to download Pokemon Go, but that's only because I have 12.1 MB of free space left on my phone.

The Ducktales one is definitely the best, I can no longer hear the theme music without thinking of it.

I'd be vastly more tolerant of security searches if they were ONLY for security (bombs) and would not report or confiscate drugs, cash, or potentially, weapons other than bombs-vs-this-aircraft.

From what I've heard, Israeli nightclub searches are sort of like that -- drugs and such are fine (even though banned/illegal), but no weapons.

Much of it isn't even that. A huge proportion are not even real humans but are instead accounts being operated by one of the myriad of pieces of software that enable automatic posting on behalf of a human.

Perhaps my view is skewed as we have a travel blog and know many other travel bloggers but a vanishingly small percentage are real humans actually typing their own tweets in real time.
No but I'm fascinated by the potential of copycat apps which may focus on a niche I'm more interested in.

Today I got a text from my mother "I'm catching pokemon! Did you try the new app?" Which really surprised me.

As a Twitter user I wouldn't like to see that happen. What other platform do you suggest I use instead?
I used Cadence a fair bit, back in university (CMU) about 8 years ago - it is really surprisingly poorly made and maintained software.

Very powerful, huge number of features. Crashed if you looked at it funny. Some windows made with TK, some with Athena widgets, some with GTK1, some with straight X11. Can't copy and paste between most of them.

I'm glad to hear it's not really the industry standard I had the impression it was. I had the impression that most purely-hardware-focused engineers didn't care about software quality much and so the whole industry just naturally leaned that way.
Yes, just a bit. However, unless they add more to the app, it's already getting quite repetitive and it's still too simple overall.

I'm starting to believe this could be a fad that will fade away within weeks, but I could be wrong.

I'd be curious to see in 30-90 days if there's a drop-off in # of active users.
That's exactly what it is, fancy CGI only one pays for each script execution instead of a monthly subscription. The "Oh, but it doesn't use HTTP but a pubsub architecture" is meaningless, that's still CGI for hipsters. And you still need to use (and pay) for API gateway on AWS in order to execute Lambda scripts from the outside.
It's such a shame, really; arguably Twitter, much more so than their competitors, tries to stick as close to the original form of their product as they can. I admire that.

Facebook (and Instagram) and Snapchat have both transformed from their original incarnations, in ways that have improved the companies' valuation, but have not always improved the experience of users. It seems every single social network is trending towards feature parity with each other -- Facebook now has streaming video, Snapchat now has a decent text chat with messages that need not disappear, Instagram has an algorithmic no-longer-timeline wall and private messaging, they all have ads, even Tumblr now has IM and livestreaming. Some (important) differences remain, but from an observer time-travelling forward from 2012, the social networks of today would appear nearly interchangeable.

But there's Twitter. All these years, it has stayed remarkably close to the original concept of microblogging. Instead, it developed (or acquired) other formats and cultivated them as separate services, separate communities. It's unfortunate that not even wide societal impact can make a service profitable, or at least quell the pressure to feature-creep outside of your original scope.

He actually literally said that when someone mentioned the embargo being a huge reason that Cuba was in the situation they're in (which is true). If asking people to explain inflammatory statements like there's NOBODY to blame but the leaders in a situation like Cuba's is unwelcome, I'm not sure why this place exits.

>There is no one to blame for the dire situation in Cuba other than the regime and it's leaders.

I've not heard a single credible expert on the subject throw out an idea as laughable as the US embargo not having any effect on the Cuban economy. If you're going to support him I suggest you also provide some facts to backup such a ludicrous statement. Or, you know, just down vote me for calling him out.

Another tactic that might help would be completely separating checked baggage from passenger flights. I.e. you check your bags the day before and they go on a cargo network. More time for screening, cargo planes are less valuable targets (although they still have been attacked), cargo containers could be armored, and passenger-only planes would be easier to secure since the only way to smuggle something would be on your person or in your body.
They would avoid proprietary forks (not commercial, that's not the same thing) if they actually defended the damn GPL. Instead, they kept weakening it, kept trying to change the API from GPL to LGPL (and I think they actually did it) and encouraged non-free plugins on CRAN.

That's because people have been vocal about that. If the companies had it their way, I'm sure the majority would want you to buy a new license for each platform and system (like how the cheap Windows licenses are - locked to your system)

At some point the numbers of remaining dedicated users simply do not justify keeping the service up, even if there's no alternative. It's a game of numbers (number of users and number of dollars).
Take a look at this list of potential things you can ask for as a developer:

https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/googlescope...

And most folks will click "Approve" without really reviewing the list. That said, Twitter and Facebook (two other popular OAuth providers) heavily restrict certain "full" access to only trusted applications that they either have a business relationship with or otherwise review the application before allowing those scopes to be requested or used. This incident may prompt Google to do more of that, which isn't entirely great news for the more responsible developers with purpose-built apps.
My brothers and I saw a child psychiatrist in the late 1970s and early 1980s. She had stuck needles in our head and tried to treat us via electric shock for depression.

We were all high functioning with above average intelligence.

Ever since I had problems remebering names and faces of most people I met and other memory problems.

She said we were too smart to have autism but high functioning autism wasn't discovered until later in the 1990s so we might have been misdiagnosed.

It makes it hard for me to find work and be accepted.
How on earth does Vine need all those people with inflated job titles to deliver tiny videos over the internet?
Are you arguing that a term can't be archaic because its definition has the word "computer" in it? That's silly.

The term capture comes from a time when ECAD programs were unwieldy and difficult to use (we're talking 60s and 70s) and components weren't as complex so engineers first designed the schematic using pencil and paper and only then "captured" it in a digital format using an ECAD program. We design circuits and yet still capture schematics because of the usability of half century old software.
That Vine's userbase consisted largely of younger people probably should have given Twitter pause, and in retrospect might have made them rethink that $30M valuation. Those are the same users who are most likely to drop your service overnight when it becomes uncool, for reasons that may never be clear or make sense. (See also: Myspace.)

Oh, no apology necessary. I find the points you brought up to be incredibly fascinating, and have spent quite a lot of time studying them myself.

i think snapchat covers pretty much the same demographic and the product has a lot of overlap.
I think it can also be size directly, the more people involved the more chance that one of them would tell-all.
This question gets asked pretty much every time there is an article about the size of tech companies. If you think about what is required for running something at the scale of Vine, 50 people makes a lot of sense, and if anything that seems somewhat lean.

The Bill of Rights[1] restricts both federal and state power. It, empowered by the Fourteenth[2], has been used by the courts to strike down state (and federal) laws as unconstitutional several times. This has overall been in the interest of the people, and have served to protect our individual liberty -- wouldn't you say so? And the rights of the people enumerated Bill of Rights is supreme over all laws whether passed by Congress, state government, or local government.

What I'm essentially arguing for is for a sort of massive expansion of individual liberty through federal restriction of state power, by for example, having a list of "Enumerated Powers of the States" similar to the federal Enumerated Powers clause added to the Constitution, and establishing (just as in the Tenth Amendment) that all powers not specifically delegated to the states are reserved to the people. This would expands personal liberty, as it would put well-defined limits on what the states can legislate on.

You still didn't explain why they need that many people.

What exactly _is_ required for “running something at the scale of Vine”? Yes, they have/had a lot of traffic, but traffic in and of itself does not require a large staff to manage.
Cool. Tesla should review this book and talk. Paraphrasing a few quotes from your link ...

"The most difficult challenging tech problem is not full autonomy, but rather the interaction between automated systems and humans"

The subtitle of the book is also notable: "Robotics and the Myths of Autonomy"

The speaker almost seems to be arguing that full autonomy is impossible. If we start up a system, then its behavior has still been kicked off and wrapped by humans. Interesting perspective.

I'd like to read the book myself after listening to a bit of this talk. Thanks!

I love your phasing. It captures the essence of many "bugs" in stataistical analyses in a rather poetic and, more importantly, persuasive way.

Is this original or do you happen to have a source for this quote?
The thing with hardware is that once you've designed the PCB and it works to the spec, you don't need to do anything until some part you need goes out of production. This means that the major ECAD money comes from shops that do a lot of one off projects which means that aerospace and defense are king. Since those industries are risk averse and spend much more time in manufacturing and testing than in design, they never really had much care for the quality of design software, even when it costs an arm and a leg like Cadence. Since these industries have extensive quality control and review processes, a bug or a crash would only cost a little bit of time. Remember though that Orcad was first developed in the mid-eighties so with the risk averse clients it's no wonder it hasn't aged well.

But yes, rest assured, outside of some (rather large) niches, no one really tolerates the garbage that is the old ECAD packages.

I'm not going to explain the individual job functions of 50 people, and for folks who work in the industry this should seem like a reasonable number just from their own experience.

However, let's do some rough numbers. It says they had 3 product managers. I would guess this means 8-10 engineers. 3 QA folks would be a decent enough ratio. You've then got a GM, a head of product, head of UX, head of data science, head of BD, editorial lead, and head of engineering who all just left. We're up to 26 people already. Now we've got some HR staff, maybe a recruiter or two, finance team, people underneath the UX, editorial, data science and BD teams (let's generously assume 1-2 hires each), and we're over 40 people easily. We haven't even discussed marketing, help centre and customer support, a DBA, ops, or IT support.

Does that all make sense now? It's a company within Twitter and there are a lot of specialized roles to keep something with 25-30 million active users a month running smoothly.
I'm not then going to go into what each person does each day, but with a product that you're trying to drive growth and new features for, while supporting existing customers, and just generally running a company, that takes a lot of bodies if you want to do it effectively and not cut corners.
Can you give us some more details ?
Except for, you know, Stanford and SRI.
Twitter just doesn't have an idea about where to evolve. They've tried small changes, and nothing helped their bottom line. Rumors are that part of the reason is that they are not sure what their "secret sauce" is, so they are reluctant to change anything in fear of harming it.

Also, they are dying. They have never turned a profit. Facebook or Google or Microsoft will eventually buy them, because of the users - but they have so far given no indication they can survive independently. And they have had a few billion dollars in funding and ten years to give that indication.

It's not that risky, specially for early-stage MVP or prototyping. In my opinion, serverless is the future, at-least for 90% of Web apps, APIs and device app backends. It's great for rapid delivery, high scalability and low maintenance from day one.
