SuperBowl ads are an unusual case because they are so expensive, and everyone knows they are expensive. This means they are honest signals of success. If a company shows a SuperBowl ad you know they're rich enough to afford a SuperBowl ad, so they must be doing something right. Targeted internet ads don't have this feature - they are automatically priced and could be extremely cheap. You never know how much somebody paid for them so they have no signalling value.
I'm struggling to understand how someone can honestly consider the failure to have a contingency plan to commit mass murder is somehow irresponsible.
A lot of companies use SQL server. I wouldn't be surprised if it has double the installed base of PostgreSQL. Especially among the more established firms that Google seems to be targeting in their sales effort.
We're paying entirely too much for liquidity that value investors don't need. If my holding period was less than a day, that's a buyer and seller who would have found each other without my "help", and I didn't contribute any insight about the company's value, just about flaws in the marketplace.
I think you're reading a bit too far into things. People watch Superbowl ads because they're a once-a-year spectacle, regardless of the company situation, and you don't need to be a sports fan for them. Post-superbowl discussion about the commercials often involves statements like "They spent millions of dollars on that?", not "Wow, that company had enough to put together a superbowl ad!"

As always, people will remember the content of particular bits of entertaining advertisement, regardless of whether or not they remember the actual product or company being advertised.
Probably.

They are running on Mono, not .NET core according to the site.

Also, it's now called asp.net core, and asp.net core mvc for the MVC framework.
If I recall correctly, doing this through code would trip up on financial regulations. The idea for the 30 miles of cable came from hypothesising/imagining/being somewhere in New Jersey.

Rough recollection of a couple of paragraphs in the book. Someone else please add if recalled incorrectly.
If you like console-based mail-clients you might want to checkout my own project:

https://github.com/lumail/lumail2/

This is directly inspired by mutt, but uses a real scripting language (lua) for most of the operations. It allows you bind keys to lua-functions and so on.
As a developer, I was pretty concerned on what to chose between Chrome Apps and packaged apps with Electron. Chrome apps didn't make sense.

I chose Electron for obvious reasons, but still wish there was a some simpler way to package and distribute Electron apps. And a way to restrict app-permissions on Electron desktop apps - similar to what we do on mobile .
You wouldn't see such an article on WashingtonPost before 2013. The former owner of the Post Donald Edward Graham was the mentor of Zuckerberg and Mr Graham is the lead independent director of Facebook's board of directors.
They dont have managed SQL Server hosting, just images ready to go so you dont have to buy and install it yourself.

SQL Server also has a massive user base, especially within the large enterprises that Google is trying to get as customers.
I think you're thinking of Cloud SQL v1. v2 is "just" a managed instance of MySQL 5.x (I think you can still lock to 5.6 if you're not ready for 5.7). The MySQL team at Google already open-sourced the semi-sync replication, etc. so it's not like it was ever "crazy" anyway.

Disclaimer: while I work on Google Cloud, I don't work on the Cloud SQL team.

Nope, but samhamilton has it right. Getting this in place was really the first step. While I personally like Postgres myself, it's still the case that MySQL dominates in terms of install base and dollars.
That sounds pretty terrible, and kind of pretentious & high maintenance. Howabout this, for the hackers among us:

- Roll out of bed

- Crawl to your computer station

- Work on hobby projects in your underwear

- Notice the sun rise again, and that you've been on Wikipedia since yesterday

- Grab leftovers from the fridge and eat while watching YouTube

- Crawl back to bed after waking up in your chair

:-)
I'd agree with that.

That said there is an obvious solution to slow MBOX folders, which wouldbe to switch to using Maildir-storage, then using the `header_cache` setting(s).
you can't drag it, because as soon as you clicked, it chose the location of the answer, and so you get it wrong!
That's almost right. Most modern filesystems are okay with resizing upwards, but very unprepared for downwards (even when lots of bytes are not yet touched!). So it's really just the "restriction" from GCE that comes from "normal file systems don't like this".

Disclaimer: I work on Google Cloud, but I'm not a filesystem expert.
入 means "enter", 口 means "mouth". 入口 means... "entrance". Actually for most kanji there is no single meaning. Some meanings might even have nothing in common with each other, because they've been based on ancient Chinese wordplay or something.

Interesting. It's sort of the opposite when Thais ask if you have eaten already because if you answer "not yet" it is common for them to offer you something.
I hate to make any assumptions about your environment, but surely you can abandon mbox for a modern storage format (e.g. Maildir)?

I can sympathize with the pain of a slow mbox parser, but even a magical parser can't resolve the fundamental flaws in the format.
At best, we're going to have to agree to disagree here.

I don't agree to your assessment of the overall situation. Up to a point, I do believe that revolution doesn't always come easy - and right now, a revolution is what's needed against DRM and those who perpetuate it. I did say, though, that I believe in people who do things for passion. There might even be some content I'd be willing to fund, from proven creators through crowd-funding.

Also, I know several people who do create amazing work in their spare time. And most of them don't work in content-related fields.
Yep, many people do.

>Phonetic languages allow you to write out a misspelled word, which readers can understand (or autocorrect can fix).

You can certainly write things out in kana. When I was more serious about studying Japanese, I knew less than 1000 kanji, but had a vocabulary several times that size, and would at times write out the word I meant in hiragana. And if we're counting autocorrect, your IME is going to take that hiragana and let you find the character.

>• Looking up words is harder, as there are no "letters" to sort by. Sorting can be done by stroke count, by radical (four corners or SKIP), or by phonetic spelling (in pinyin or hiragana). Modern technology has made this easier, and some phone apps (like Pleco) can even OCR hanzi. Still, it's far less convenient than phonetic languages.

Eh, I disagree here. It's harder if you're used to looking things up by the spelling, but once you're fast at looking things up by radical, it's not that difficult. My misguided attempts at slogging through 1Q84 while reading at a, at best, middle school level got me pretty fast at looking up kanji. Not any appreciable difference vs. looking things up in a regular dictionary.
So, to be clear, you're implying that you shouldn't write network services in Python, Ruby, PHP, Go, Java in practice [1], Perl, C++ without exceptions, JavaScript, etc. etc.?

To be honest, I would need the 300$ for living and not for Facebook advertisement.

But lets take the numbers: You spend 300$ and got several thousands in revenue. So I would expect something between a 3% to 15% share for Facebook. If you try to evaluate the volunteered time spend (only for the advertisement) and subtracted it from the result, the numbers would already look much worse.

In my case, as Indy developer, I would have to compete with other software companies and my (cheap < 100.000$) advertisement would most likely show up in unappealing places.

Since most small projects are now exclusively financed by advertisement revenues by itself, Facebook created something like a ponzi scheme and most of the advertisement cost trickles away. With minimal profit-margins you also loose the possibility to pay any attention to product quality.

You should also consider that you also had the choice to go from door to door in your neighborhood for transactions. Since Facebook also owns the main communication channel for the web this possibility is bared.

It is not the question if people hate Facebook instead you should consider that Facebook destroyed the free market.

Finally consider that Facebook, as stock cooperation, is growth-oriented. If the advertisement market is ruined they will sell their user data elsewhere.
That sounds like an absolutely miserable experience. I'd rather be forced to look up every 3rd or 4th kanji than try to deal with all hiragana writing.

Would PHP have become popular if MySQL had maintained a strict license? I wasn't a web developer at the time and am genuinely curious what the database landscape was like back then.
I just did it, and I answered yes to words I knew, or knew that were actual words but I didn't know the exact meaning of. Like Argon, I know it is something related to chemistry but I don't actually know what it is. Some words were compound words which I am not sure would be in a dictionary, but still valid words.

I got 73% and I didn't say 'yes' to any fake words.

73% is apparently "This is a high level for a native speaker."
Homophones aren't a problem. Just use a silent radical in front of kana sequences. Swapping 2000 kanji for about 200 radicals is a good enough "90% solution". Some possible examples from the first page of results from you link:

主 = 主シュウ
集 = 木シュウ
终 = 幺シュウ
州 = 川シュウ
衆 = 血シュウ
就 = 京シュウ
秋 = 禾シュウ
收 = 又シュウ
週 = 辶シュウ
周 = 周シュウ
宗 = 宗シュウ
修 = 彡シュウ
習 = 白シュウ
執 = 幸シュウ
秀 = 乃シュウ
渋 = 氵シュウ
拾 = 扌シュウ
袭 = 衣シュウ
捜 = 扌シュウ
祝 = 礻シュウ

There'll be some duplicates, especially looking at all 213 found, but it solves most of the problem of homophones.
Both of these are doomed in the mainstream until you can "just join" instead of having to pick from a list of servers you know nothing about anyway.
I would be surprised if that were the real blocker in SF, though. If you look at this graphic, the yellow areas are all zoned to build no taller than 40 feet:

I don't think there's such a problem really. We all try to fit the problems we encounter in designing software into a bunch of knowledge that we know. That bunch might be a set of design patterns. There's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes they fit perfectly and sometimes they don't. Sometimes the software we produce is not perfect.

Postgre would probably been used instead. The demand for an easy to use Web scripting language existed, php fit the bill that's what pushed mysql to become popular.
>Driving from my house to the local shopping centre is only 4 turns, this could be a preprogrammed route to a designated autonomous-vehicle drop off point.

Who's going to preprogram it? And then the billions other potential preprogrammed routes.
Yes. The browser is already like second OS. So if Google provides the Android API through Chrome. And if Chrome comes with PlayStore, then a lot of people will be able to run Android apps on Windows 7+, macOS and Linux. And as a next step, people will ask themself why not just buy a notebook with Android and run 1-2 legacy apps via Wine or whatever. And the new announced (on Github) Fuchsia OS that may replace some rusty parts may happen like Win98 to WinNT. And MS can do little to prevent it, their Phones and tablets have a 1% global market share, their store is a joke, their UWP platform failed (Win10 exclusive games like Quantum Break already backported to Win7 and Steam), and they still do their best to scare of their long time users with their aggressive style, that was unheard of during Balmer era. So Google has a very good chance to win the desktop market share big time. Just don't forget about enterprise customers!
So, serious question: Why do you use console e-mail?
I personally don't mind MBOX, it's a simple format and if you archive it regularly and don't let it grow exponentially, it can be nice to work with.
Hi Mitchell,

You guys rock! Hashicorp's tools are fantastic and pleasure to learn and use.

We're a small company and we're going to officially purchase Atlas in few weeks - because it saves tons of time.
Also, every developer in our company (rather small company, where people have great flexibility what tools to use) has been cheering and clapping when we demoed CI/CD flow in Atlas. It's so easy to deploy and run services.

Cheers!

The existence of an open source version was surely a big part of the success, but so was the existence of a commercial option.

We are a PHP shop. Recently we needed to do some machine learning work so we took up Python and scikit-learn. I would have much preferred to use this library. I'm very excited to see this and hope to help contribute some day.
That's an interesting idea,but not as easy as it sounds. You would need to get a significant amount of fuel (about an ISS mass' woth? I havent done the calculation) to the ISS to pull this off.
Yeah. What I got from this is to completely stray from the norm. Spend your whole day doing the thing we usually struggle to find 5 minutes for.

Ok, I understand SV giants slinging IP lawsuits at each other. But do any of them really gain from slinging mud at each other? Put another way: is this a profit-maximising buisness move, or just Larry Ellison's personality shining through.

The irony is that this sort of rough-and-tumble accountability is a good thing. So the only actual effect of this funding might be to make the world a better place, whether Larry likes it or not.
The SuperBowl ads (and great TV ads) are a cultural touchstone and a world away from the world of online direct response advertising.

When was the last time you saw an iconic Facebook app install ad?
Facebook has nearly two billion users. The average user only needs to make FB $20 through a few ad purchases made on a whim and you've already doubled FB's yearly revenue. I've spent more money using restaurant coupons that came through the mail. It wouldn't even be that hard to target the average HN user: "20% off a GTX 1080!" Boom, done.

PS. After getting past the initial hiccup, we've setup our basic monitoring and infrastructure in a few hours. Coming to working with ops after a couple years hiatus, Stackdriver is incredibly comprehensive and easy to use. Let's see how the systems will hold moving forward.
Because you are going to select different phrases and words while speaking than you are when writing. Even with context clues from the conversation, it can at times be confusing, so you have to explain what you meant. Usually it's verbal, sometimes it's 空書 (sky writing). To avoid having to do this frequently, people will often adopt a subset of the language that is less prone to confusing homophones for their vocal communication.

It creates a situation where you have people who have wildly different voices in their writing than they do in their everyday speaking, which is an interesting phenomenon. (To me, at least)

I've been fortunate enough that my employer encourages people to find the patterns that work for them. Now that I've been there a few years, I've been taking greater liberties on when I come and go. Some days I just wander home at 3pm because it's just not happening. Other days I'm there 8-8 and skip lunch because I'm so excited to see a new feature work. I've never been so productive or happy.
I kind of agree with you. What I would love is a system where I could preemptively put in all of my preferences and have some AI go and hunt for things to advertise to me. Like, if I'm in the market for a watch or a car, it knows that, and suggests deals to me. Right now, even during the 99.9% of times I'm absolutely not looking for a car, I have to see the ads, and the ad people lose money on each view. And once I've gone out and bought a car, I'd like to be able to right click the next car ad and say "Just got one, thx" and that would be that. Maybe the key to actual tailored, enjoyable advertising is making it so They know more about you.
I'll bite and point out that Stackdriver Monitoring is just really really slow to render most pages even for tiny test projects that only generate small amounts of data. I'm sure you guys are aware of it, but the slowness is kind of at the point of being a usability issue. I guess I'll also add that it'd be nice to be able to plot multiple metrics in the same chart.
Japanese use of Kanji is usually more similar to Cantonese (Cantonese is a much older language than modern Mandarin)

So in Mandarin you wouldn't find people using 食 as a verb, but in cantonese it is the correct verb.

In Cantonese it's pronounced something like "sekk"

("sihk" in Yale romanisation, but I think if you're not familiar with Yale you'd try and read that "sick" or "sikh")

Edit: "sikh"

Hey Mitchell, sorry for sneak dissing. I wasn't trying to hate on your efforts, which are greatly appreciated, I was more just trying to poll the community if people actually use the stack in production. Will follow-up in email.
Like everyone, we get a quite a bit of junk mail at our house. Some of it comes to "current resident", others target us by name. Broadly speaking it breaks into two groups. Things that are either geotargeted. (In my neighborhood, that would include ads such as "Why don't you lease a car through Uber and pay for it by driving!") and those that are more personally targeted (think credit card offers).

Today we got an interesting one. It was an offer to try Blue Apron. If we lived in Palo Alto, I'd chalk it up to geotargeting rich neighborhoods, but we don't live in one. Also, it came to wife who posts recipes on Facebook. It's enough to make us wonder if Blue Apron is somehow linking Facebook targeting data with real world names and addresses. Now I don't know if it's true, but if it is, that's creepy as fuck. That's autodoxing.
Well, my language (Danish) is pretty small and I would say Google voice recognition is notably worse than English. Sometimes it's way of pronouncing names is a bit weird but it is recognized when I said them.

So it might not work for everyone in the world but at some point soon it will properly be there for most national languages.
You didn't ask me, but: Because mutt is a very fast and efficient email program and happens to be a console program, and graphical user interfaces tend to not add anything useful to email if you are communicating with people who know how to use email.
use uBlock Origin instead, since adblock has a problematic "acceptable ads" policy.
I love the snappiness and power of mutt but when I tried to switch to it as my full-time mail client it didn't end up being an improvement. Not really due to any fault of mutt's but because I disagree with the common POV that HTML email is useless/the scourge of the Internet/etc.

What really ended up being the dealbreaker was that the viewing and authoring experience for moderately marked up text was poor. Specifically: Quoting, bulleted lists, inline attachments, and maybe a few other basic formatting tricks. This kind of stuff doesn't end up rendering well when I view the mail in a terminal-based browser like w3m, and I didn't even try authoring (am I going to hand-code the HTML for every email I write?).

I wish we had something like Markdown for email--to me that would be the sweet spot between the mess HTML email has become, and plain text which sometimes does lack in its ability to communicate information.

Beyond that I would love any advice on how to use a terminal-based mail client but still be able to author and view some kind of useful representation of things like lists and quotes. Maybe with just the right configuration this can be done...
I really enjoy the ads in print magazines. Especially tech magazines. I want to see the cool stuff that's available.

Online ads I block. The ads in the magazine can't spy on me or serve me malware.
This sounds great, I would live to pick your brain in a couple of emails, is there anyway to connect with you? I couldn't find your email in your profile. Thanks

Stackdriver is an incredibly poorly designed, communicated, and implemented piece of software. It's not clear what it's good at or what you're supposed to use it for.

Random, completely noncontrived example:

1. Oh, GCP wants me to use stackdriver for logging.
2. Okay, I will click stackdriver.
3. I have to reauth and am taken to another website with completely different UI than GCP.
4. I click into logs.
5. I am taken BACK to GCP, with some "stackdriver" branded logs experience.
6. Exporting, slicing, or otherwise doing anything with these logs is pretty much a nightmare.

that said the rest of GCP is pretty good, but its clear that certain parts of it have been given very little design thought, comparatively
