Replying to this again. Using Scala and Scalding or Spark makes it super simple to do algorithmic stuff. I haven't used Pregel/Giraph ever, so I can't say how it stacks up.

And OP, if you see this, using raw M/R to do things like graph processing is going to be a HUGE pain in comparison to all the libraries built around it.
That was my take, too. It says "from a high level point of view", but the very first optimization was about using the != operator vs the >= operator in certain conditionals. I'm struggling to think of anything more low-level than that, in JS.
I took an Uber home from the train station last week and it was less than $15. I'm not sure how much a taxi would've been, probably at least $25.

I don't feel good about it. How can someone provide good service if they're taking home so little? I fear that soon Uber will be overrun with poor service because all the quality drivers have been driven out by low costs.
Fortunately, Google has regulatory contacts and an armada of lawyers. They're fully capable of working on this.
We snapshot DOM state so that when the user clicks the back button we can dump the old content back in. We stick it into localstorage.

It should be an opt-in feature, but if it is breaking the other examples that's an ugly bug.
I've always assumed if we are cloning humans for harvest and if you are cloning yourself that somehow your clone doesn't have to age the same way you did. But to the best of my knowledge you'd have to wait 18-25 years for adequate donor of your clone.

It's a weird thing. Hopefully we don't do this (Ala The Island) but can just repair replace lab grown organ or in place replacement.
This reminds me of an old joke: The doctor has a patient come in, and is startled to realise he has a live frog sticking out of his forehead. "Good lord, how did you end up with that?" the doctor asks. "Well, it started as a zit on my ass," replies the frog.
I see where you're coming from. One of my best friends does spinal cord research to repair severed spinal cords. This involves damaging the spinal cords of primates. It makes me feel uneasy, but there really is no other way and certainly experimenting on a person is less ethical than experimenting on an animal. No one wants to harm the animal.
The styling definitely needs more contrast. The comments on the code examples are nearly impossible for me to read without highlighting them. Looking at the styling, comments are set to rgb(51,51,51) which is nowhere near enough contrast between the black background.
How Facebook’s foray into automated news went from messy to disastrous
If I were to do that I'd use logical decoding (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/logicaldecodi...) and just write a custom apply mechanism. I think you'll, in any case, end up exposing a lot of information. INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE are going to be discernible, and you'd have to be very careful about compression not exposing things.

The backup wouldn't actually be particularly useful though. So I'm not really sure what the use-case here is.

While this was just an anecdote, it caught me off guard:

> if you question any candid person who is no longer young, he is very likely to tell you that, having tasted life in this world, he has no wish to begin again as a 'new boy' in another.

The tone suggests that old people have "had enough" of this disappointing world, but I'll suggest a different view.

Assuming this candid survey was conducted amongst R.Bertrand's philosophical and possibly atheistic cohorts, they would give that answer because a philosophical person makes it their duty to learn how to live well and internalize their goals.

Contrast this to someone who never bothered to learn how to live well, or believes God will decide whether or not they lived well. This may create a desire for another chance or more time to figure it out and get it right.

Coincidentally I once asked this exact question to someone who had experienced profound hardship (e.g., civil war, mutilation, death of child, total loss, abuse, political persecution, etc). That elderly person made it clear that they would very much want to be young again.

It is regretful that Bertrand would make such a broad and questionable generalization in such a depressing context.
Delaware is a relatively expensive place to incorporate.

The advantages of Delaware corporations are (1) convenience, (2) privacy, and (3) a legal ecosystem that meets the need of big public companies.

If you want to form a corporation in New York, for instance, you have to form a board of directors, have an annual board meeting, etc. It is a lot of bother and paperwork and most states make you do it. Not Delaware. You don't need to have a board of directors or file very much paperwork at all to be incorporated in Delaware.

Since there is no board of directors, their names are not on the public record, in fact nobody's name is on the public record. You have to have some agent that will accept documents in your name in case a process server shows up. If you fail to respond in court, they can shut down your company and take its assets, but they can't do anything to you because they don't know who you are.

Finally a lot of big companies are there because there are laws that are good for management and lots of lawyers and other corporate services people who serve Delaware corporations. Unlike most states, the bar is not transferable from other states to Delaware.

And that has long stuck in the craw of Irish people. It's seen as a way to subvert the legitimacy of the Irish state here in Ireland when the country is referred to as 'Eire'in English.
I use tabs in my browser and would never resize the window to accomplish that, as it'd resize the other tabs too. I could detach the tab and resize the new window if I really really wanted to, but thankfully I won't have to bother :)

That's like saying "What do we need wheel chair ramps for?" I've never seen a person in a wheel chair get stuck trying to access the building. Partially disabled people are a minority, partially people don't pay that much attention, and partially people are self-selected out of such situations. Panic attacks are a disability. Trigger warners are not to censor, but to INCREASE the audience participation. If anything, it's anti-censorship.

Reverse Voxsplaining: Drugs vs. Chairs
Could they add Arizona to the list of good places for tech business, please :-)

Life is inexpensive and good in Arizona and occasional flights to Silicon Valley are short and affordable. I spent my life in California until we moved to Arizona 18 years ago. Benefits of Arizona: very friendly people (try chatting with people in California when you are in a grocery store check out line, at the gas pumps, etc. - a culture of unfriendliness), low population density, very affordable housing, clean air and nice climate (at least where I am in the mountains), our state government is not as badly in debt as California, etc.
This is like saying the float on currencies should be abolished, which effectively is already done by Euro countries within the EU. They can't each set their own monetary policy independent from the EU, but they have sufficiently different economies if it weren't for having one currency, they'd have float to make up for their differences. So now the EU is trying to take away yet another mechanism by which countries are trying to get some aspects of currency float back. I think if this decision stands, it will put more pressure on the EU. And I don't think that pressure is likely to be relaxed by countries giving the EU more centralized control over monetary policy - most EU countries just aren't up for that.
Hardly offended, if it's me you mean there. I just think it's not a good habit to get into.
A related anecdote: One of the major reasons I decided to give elm a try was when Richard Feldman was giving a talk about writing Dream Writer in elm, and he got to a point where the performance was noticeably slowing down. He started trying to make it better by 'sprinkling a few `lazy`s through the view code', and then stopped because that had magically made everything super fast again.
Yes, except regulating car "body language" is harder than regulating indicators and signs. Since it is easy to regulate indicators, I think they are inevitable.
"Most of her patients are senior citizens or people with serious health or developmental issues, but she has one outlier: a 30-something snowboarder.

How are they vetting drivers? I wouldn't trust a driver if all they had to do to qualify is download the Waze app.
It's only a matter of time until the cars are completely driverless. Will you feel better knowing that there isn't anybody behind the wheel being taken advantage of, but also no longer has this option to make money for themselves?

I'm not being sarcastic. I honestly don't know how I feel about it either.
> Otherwise any sort of calculation of expenses is missing one of the biggest components, the cost of the car.

They include the cost of the car as the first calculation...

> Total Cost of Ownership:

>> Cost of Tesla: $79,000 used with 35,000 miles

Is that not enough? Do you need to calculate the potential earnings every day that you decide not to sell the car over it's lifetime?

Also, perhaps this is tangential, but the author was calculating how much they had lost or saved over the course of ownership up to that point. I feel like the OP in this subthread didn't actually read the article and just commented after skimming over the cost breakdown thinking it was supposed to be something it wasn't (i.e., a cost/benefit analysis for the car's lifetime).
It is very expensive fixed cost that the customers need to pay the amortisation of. Also, it's only fixed as long as it's never maintained or until it needs to be upgraded. You're not going to be satisfied with 25mbit a few years from now.

Talk to your drivers about it. So far they've all told me that they get more passengers thanks to the app, and the pay from Uber's base rate outweighs unpredictable tips.

[edit] NYC, and the drivers are pretty candid about still picking up rides from black car dispatchers and competitors. I have no reason to question their honesty.
It's still not the same, though: I genuinely like a ton of products, but most of them I wouldn't actively promote if I weren't being paid to do so. There's still a difference between someone off-the-cuff mentioning/plugging a particular product they like, vs. someone being paid to do so, even for a product the use and like regardless of the payment.
This is essentially a mobile-first site. Chalk it up to lazy programmers or UX folks who didn't code/design a responsive site properly.
I actually almost never use the OOP parts of D because metaprogramming generally offers a more elegant solution to the problem than polymorphism.

That doesn't mean there's no downside to the metaprogramming in terms of project complexity, but once you get past the part where you rebuild the universe from scratch it's smooth sailing.

Use UberExec or UberBlack instead. Yes, you pay more for the car, but drivers also make substantially more (and are required to be better).
Google used to have such a strong visual brand with their fresh, bright, clean, and utilitarian aesthetic.

Material Design really annoys me. Dingy grey backgrounds, unnecessary boxes and shadows, and goofy animation that takes us bad to the bad days of Flash sites.
It hasn't even been 100 years since US congress had the standard time act of 1918. Visiting Golden Spike NP taught me the railroads created standard time from a good exhibit at the park's museum. In 1883 if I recall. Until then time in town A did not need to be the same as time in town AA.

But my favorite answer still is, "Time to get a watch."
Yes. Hello. It's not a simple problem, at least not if you want to reach people instead of merely haranguing them.
Cool. Then it's good that you're raising these points.
Basically this is different from uber/lyft because it is trying to match you with someone already going to the same area, say on their normal commute. You are not just calling up a driver to get you from place to place.

I can't help but to think of Ford Prefect's Electronic Thumb from H2G2.

"Humanizing technology. Currently at Google. Previously: Mobile First"

There's some irony in that, given G+ design really looks like 'mobile first'
They do have access to Google Maps data which provides sizable competitive edge
My point is I'm not sure it is actually a rule- I can't find anything official that says that it is a rule. If it is a rule, it is a stupid one- but that is indeed a different discussion.
True, but it would still be a fixed cost to upgrade.
Or, more interesting even. It is clearly someone taking the initiative to take their phone off the network at specific times in a specific place.
And this is an issue between Ireland and the EU.
I think it's worth considering whether those drivers are incentivized to tell you the truth. I can't say either way, but I wouldn't put it past Uber to instill reasons for defensive praise of the service.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Treo was way before Andriod.

First mover advantage is rarely an advantage at all. My guess is that google sees this as optionality and testing to get things right like insurance etc. in anticipation of self driving cars. At the very least it allows them to extract more value from Uber when Google finally have self driving cars ready to sell them.

I really don't see how Uber is worth more than a few billion in a few years. Google is playing the long game hard and I think they are going to win here.
Just my general experience with it when talking to young people and seeing their expression online etc. At least when it comes to the hard sciences, they may not have the patience to do them, but they sure profess to liking it. Probably different with the softer sciences. That's not rigorous evidence, I'll admit.

I'm curious as to what you think.
If this is strictly to more easily facilitate carpooling during rush hour, there's some precedent. In the Washington DC area, for at least a decade, possibly more, there have been "Slug Lines" outside the city for people commuting in. The idea is you go to a specific place via public transportation or park there, then drivers heading into the city pick you up so they can use the HOV lane. There's a similar setup in the evening where you'll catch a ride back with a different person.

I've never used it, but as far as I've heard it works well. I don't think there's any compulsion to pay, but maybe it's generally polite to offer a few dollars for gas. This sounds like a more automated version of that.

Except that children can jump in front of you at arbitrary close distances so it's not possible to satisfy that.

This purported solution seems to be a special case of "assume I will never encounter a moral dilemma that forces me to make a hard choice". It's not solving the dilemma, but refusing to recognize that one exists. [1] Even if you think it can't happen this way, there are a hundred other ways it can manifest while driving.

There are better ways to die young than deliberately harming your health. Take on riskier hobbies (while still remaining physically active). Refuse to wear safety gear while riding a motorcycle or never wear a seatbelt while in a car.

A coke a day, probably not a huge problem if you're moderately active. But, smoking, excessive drinking, excessive time spent physically idle, etc, will all reduce your health. They may also reduce your lifespan, but that's not guaranteed. My great-grandfather made it to 90 (or very near, maybe 88) smoking cigarettes almost daily from age 12 on. He may have shortened his life, but he also significantly reduced his quality of life. His last 5-10 years were spent in the living room during the day sitting and watching TV because he couldn't get around well anymore. Similar for a grandfather who made it to 83, but the last 3-5 years he was senile due to (it turned out) brain tumors, consequences of lung and colon cancer, which were (most likely) consequences of his drinking and smoking habits.

And living a healthy lifestyle offers no guarantee of longevity. But it offers a greater guarantee on quality.
I feel the worst for those H1B1 employees. They can easily be left in legal limbo with this situation.

Carakan doesn't either. But given that nowadays affects some old TVs (but still newish, I doubt most people replace TVs that often…) and Opera Mini's limited JS support… Yeah, okay, that doesn't matter. :)
Which goals would those be? An efficient tariff free zone? A larger area for individual opportunity? A reasonable social safety net? Greater power on the global stage? Protection for human rights?

Or is the objection merely to some wholly imaginary threat to the purity of the anglo-saxon race and culture and an unthinking and instantaneous embracing of anything nationalist and right leaning?

It is odd for a piece like TFA to fail completely to mention the role of internal combustion engines. Harvard has many shuttle buses, which might make sense when the snow is deep but seem actively harmful while serious consideration is being given to a phys ed requirement. A less coercive and cheaper solution might be to scale back the shuttle buses and introduce some sort of bike-sharing scheme. They could make uphill rides like Mather to the Yard free, and charge a nominal fee on the fun downhill rides. (Otherwise all shared bikes would end up in the river forever.) I guess they'd want to subsidize both directions for those poor souls stuck in the Quad.

[EDIT:] It occurs to me that this is the sort of amenity that would be basically free for Harvard to provide. Because it would be a highly visible part of students' lives, hordes of donors will line up to sponsor individual bikes (with donor nameplates), pay stations (likewise), named chairs for bike mechanics, or even the whole program.

That is not that important because the people on top can only prescribe, the population has to substantiate the plans. Therefore it is important that the population can be informed beforehand to agree with the plans.
Grasping Climate Change
I'm not really clear on why anyone should care.

I recognize that my first reaction is an elitist "who cares what losers who 'follow' celebrities get sold on".

But even when I get past that, I can't figure out why I'd care. It doesn't sound like the FTC is in the business of determining what's a legitimate from-the-heart endorsement versus what's a paid endorsement anyway.

In the end, all that really seems to matter is truth in advertising. If she's making undocumented medical claims about something, and being paid to do so, doesn't the FTC already have a right to clamp down on it? Follow the dollars.

I imagine making undocumented medical claims for free fall under 'free speech'. So all they have to do is see if she's getting paid or not.
Maintenance is a percentage of the fixed costs. Upgrades replace old equipment as they have been paid off and decommissioned, so just another fixed cost that replaces the old fixed cost.

So fixed costs all around.
It does when you compare it to state and municipal governments.
My point is that it has been the norm for quite a while.

There should never be an obligation to tip. The whole point of tipping is that it's not obligatory. I get that we've messed that up for a lot of professions, like restaurant servers, but Uber et al have a chance to reset the social norms at least around taxi-esque services and they should take it.
