Is that how they keep winning anywhere they don't have total control?
Why Cant there be a "meta" ride-app giving you the best rides from a whole host of different services big and small
Have you tried PayPal? Stripe's Java library may be a bit simplistic but at least the fundamental API concepts are sound.
The article does point out: "Not many members of Team USA actually train there. In 2012, a study by the Athletes’ Advisory Council — a group of current and former athletes — found that just 13 percent of Olympic Training Center usage went to U.S. Olympians."

That doesn't actually say how much the Olympians use the facilities, but if we accept that relatively few do then the money isn't going where it's intended even when it is spent on infrastructure.
Hipmunk | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE

Looking for Android, iOS, DevOps, and machine learning engineers.

Travel is a huge industry and we're shaking it up. We consistently lead the pack in every measure of customer love (net promoter scores, app store ratings, etc) because delightful customer experiences in travel are why we exist. We value the same high standards in our code and people. We value learning and growth (and not having bored people) and invest regular time in doing so. For example, every other Friday is open time for you to spend time becoming a better engineer. Our stack is built on PostgreSQL, Redis, Python, nginx, HBase, Coffeescript, React/Redux, es6, Swift, and a few more things. Steve, our cofounder, built Reddit with many of those and they've proven solid throughout the years.

We hire diverse, well-rounded, communicative people we can envision being friends with and trusting. Our projects tend to be 1-2 engineers max so trust and accountability is required for us to work. Also helps us keep processes & overhead low. We appreciate that we've built a reasonably-sized, high-powered team so far (55 employees incl. 30 engineers) and are always striving to be the best place to work for them. We're looking for folks that love all of the above and will help us keep our standards high. You can go to www.hipmunk.com/jobs if you're interested!

In order for it to be a ponzi scheme the money being invested in Uber would need to be used to directly pay off previous investors. That is not happening. Investing in Uber may or may not turn out to be a good investment, but it's not a Ponzi scheme.
Not really. My point is that 'just' is a critical part of incremental development. Having a swear-jar for any time anybody uses the word means you're basically banning asking sensible questions.
Maybe it's bad for Lyft, or maybe it's good. Has it been confirmed that the partnership is void or defunct?

If the partnership remains in place, then this is likely a good thing for Lyft. Recall that, unlike Uber, Lyft wasn't trying to storm China and establish itself as a direct player there. Rather, they established a collaboration with Did whereby each company's customers could benefit from the other company's services in their respective countries. As such, assuming the partnership remains alive, this would mean Lyft has an even stronger partner now in China.
Gather | Atlanta, GA | Onsite | Full-time | Front-end developers, Back-end developers

Gather is an event management platform that is growing fast. We’re small, funded, and quite profitable.

We currently serve thousands of venues nationwide and internationally, serving up to 8 million requests a month currently.

We’re a small development team (with only 5 developers), and we work in Node, Angular, Redis, Elasticsearch and Rethinkdb.
We also have a mobile app built on Ionic.

This might explain a lot of the performance problems we've seen trying to use Postgresql as an event store, dumping some 10s of millions of rows/day into a table that has a few indexes (no foreign keys, but trying to speed up queries). Sounds like it's time to investigate alternatives.
Having technology recursively create technology does not lead to unlimited potential. Such infinite structures lead to stack overflow and do not exist in the natural world without limits.
State sponsored broadcast by definition compete with private companies by offering alternative content. Operas do as well. They compete with movie theaters, private stages, TV and all alternate forms of entertainment.

> But there are plenty of soap operas on private networks, too. We would not lose anything if they would stop producing those [...] private companies, which would create the same service.

Which is questionable at least: Take Lindenstraße for example: I personally dislike it but without question is has been on the forefront of bringing important topics to the TV screen and probably the most diverse cast of all soap operas produced in germany. The english wikipedia page only has a short paragraph, read the german page if you can: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindenstra%C3%9Fe#Cast Notable example are showing homosexuality in 1986, the first homosexual kiss in 1987 (the actors received death threats as a consequence), ... No private soap opera in germany dares to touch sensitive topics. American soaps are a bad substitute.
Nothing easy to explain, since they're in a specialized domain, but I can say that sometimes other people's insights can be annoying, but they can also be quite helpful. Anyone who doesn't know that first hand might have problems working well with others.
Atomic tourists may also be interested in visiting the Minuteman Missile National Historic Park. The park features a Missile Alert Facility (including bunker where the operators would turn their keys) and a missile silo at some miles distance.

Yeah, I use sshfs a lot too with Sublime. The biggest drawback I find is that its built-in search and search/replace is basically useless on a large remote project. This is one area where the editor being able to run commands on the remote host would be a huge advantage.
I hope someone applies to work on Redox. It's just so cool.
SEEKING WORK: Based in London, remote work preferred

I'm looking for freelance work urgently. I've been an iOS developer since 2009. Worked freelance for 5 years and in startups for the last 2 years. Lots of experience with both Objective-C and Swift. Offering very good hourly rate.

Utterly false. If the expectation is the actual election of a third party candiate, then sure that is unrealistic given how the two party system actively supresses third party participation. But voting third party contributes to long term objectives of increasing ballot access, funding, visibility, media attention, and decreasing the two-party share of the vote which thereby decreases the legitimacy of two-party outcomes. These in turn can then pressure other politicians across all branches of government to ensact more inclusive electoral reform.

537 votes. That was the official difference between Bush and Gore in Florida, out of almost 6 million votes cast. Nearly 100,000 people voted for Nader.

These Nader supporters of course had every right to vote how they wanted, but the prevailing argument at the time by Nader was that there was essentially no difference between Gore and Bush and it was time to send a message to the "establishment."

However you feel about Bush, I think history makes it plain that 1) there was likely a huge difference between a Bush and a potential Gore presidency, and 2) while it may be nice to simply send a message with your vote, we should remember that 0.0000895% of the electorate of a single state can determine the outcome.

that doesn't really make sense as a response to my comment. the OP article is a summary of how NEITHER candidate (the corrupt one or the bigot) can claim to represent the electorate. they are both appointees of un-representative minority factions.

your post, which I was replying to, was advocating for some kind of moderate politician as an alternative. I pointed out that Obama has already been that politician. I'm questioning your notion that what we need is a moderate.

In other words, your suggestion made no sense to me. Why did you suggest it?
Growth at scale, to bubble up to the oligarchs maybe fails.

Sustainable Growth for the local business, small market business keeps going.

Small business employs more people than the "big guys" and is a real core economic driver.
There's also a Russian saying, "The strictness of Russian laws is balanced out by the fact that they don't have to be enforced".

Precedent: a new Personal Data Protection Law was passed two years ago. It included the crazy clause that all personal data of Russian citizens must be stored and processed on servers located in Russia. Facebook didn't comply, and I'm sure many other websites didn't comply too, but nobody cares, AFAICT.

On the other hand, our government can decide at any moment that they don't like some website, person or other entity, and they'll quickly find a way to get rid of this entity without breaking the law.
Indian Government admits to sabotaging one of the country's largest startups
If by "we" you mean Russia, then yes, you have mobile missiles. America's mobile missiles glide quietly under the ocean in Trident nuclear submarines. All of America's land based launch capabilities are in fixed nuclear silos. They are not and have never been hidden; Russia even gets to come inspect them from time to time (and visa versa) as part of the treaties both nations have signed. Both nations maintain enough weaponry to launch a massive retaliatory strike even if hit with a first strike, it's part of what makes both nations feel secure that neither would be dumb enough to try a sneak attack. For America, some of the silos are placed far north in Montana to make an offensive first strike more effective, some of them are placed further south (Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska) to give a few more minutes to get missiles off during a surprise attack. The silos are spaced out enough that each would require a ground burst to destroy them, but close enough so that the nuclear debris cloud (mushroom cloud) would potentially damage or destroy incoming warheads (coming in at ludicrous speed) before they made it to the ground. The radioactive cloud that would be farted into the upper atmosphere by the debris clouds from the attacks on these missile fields would probably be responsible for well over half the national fatalities in a counterforce nuclear attack. We're talking hundreds of near-megaton ground bursts.
Suggested edit: s/This is total bullshit/Perhaps you overlooked something:/.

Otherwise, this would have been a good comment, I think.
Where are you getting this confidence that Google will "get their shit together" quickly, or ever? I can easily imagine Google not shipping Java 8 for as long as Oracle remains in business.

Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting
problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :)
The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very
finely tuned through years of experience of doing this.

Sure, you have to write the code to do updates; but "materialized views" are a technique long used even in SQL databases that had no automated support for them; denormalized derived tables that are used for regular, recurring queries while the DB retains normalized base tables are a common thing (heck, in Enterprise environments, I've more than once run into a setup where custom maintenance of jury-rigged materialized views are used in a database system with strong materialized view support simply because the system has been around and maintained longer than the server software has had that support.)

I believe your position only holds true if you assume that the applicant has no current employment, no other real options and no resources for between jobs.

The prospective employer has no power to force you to take the job or prevent you from seeking and accepting an offer elsewhere. It is certainly a mutual business process and should be approached as such. To approach it in an adversarial fashion just puts you at a disadvantage versus your true adversary: other applicants.
