Can someone enlighten me on the use case for Gmail for business?

You're basically paying 5$ per month per user to have Google serve ads based on your companies emails, right? I would, as a company, never allow anyone such unfettered access.

Even if it was ad-free, Google would still have access to the content of your emails. That does not sound like anything I'd ever give any company.

Edit: Gmail for business doesn't show ads. But that doesn't prevent them from profiling and tracking your company activity.

Espresso is generally made with an espresso roast, which is quite a bit more roasting than typical for drip coffee and will burn off many volatile compounds that add a certain amount of complexity.

Accept that different coffees are different.
First comment is wonderfully deadpan as well:

> Don't feel bad, you just fell into one of the common traps for first-timers in strong AI/ML. I know some lawyers in Silicon Valley with experience in this sort of thing, and they say that usually by now the code has rewritten itself so many times that the original creator can't even claim partial ownership;...
True, but I interpreted the OP as criticising any execution of code on module load (other than declaring exports).

Unless loading a file is a bottleneck, which I doubt.
So… they’re slowly turning YouTube into a video-focused Google+.
"Anyone that says violence doesn't solve anything has never had their ass kicked"

- My HS best friend's Dad teaching us about dealing with bullies circa 1991
From what I heard on NPR this morning, they selected a few thousand users to be in the pilot program and only those users are able to get the self driving. Im guessing they looked at their past route data and user rating to find users to include.
Yup, some people get pedantic and call it a "liftback", either way it's got a ton of usable storage because of it.
Without hurting anyone? The goal is to don't need drivers.
Why can't Uber purchase a fleet of vehicles and let humans drive them? They can still have some auto-pilot functionality.

Let's say at time T=0, a few million Uber cars are parked or on the road. Users enter their travel plans into the app, and also indicate whether they are will to make an extra stop or more, whether they can drive a leg, or whether they desire a solo/express route. Then they either walk out to the parking lot and start driving, or wait to be picked up. So now, everyone in the Uber cars exists on this spectrum:

Express Passenger -> Driver for my leg -> Driver plus a little extra -> Driver plus a lot extra -> Full time Uber driver.

Let the market and scheduling algorithms work out getting people and cars to the right places are the right time. Now I don't need to own a car and we don't need to have highly functional self-driving vehicles.
damn it. I had to come to HN to verify as I thought we were hacked.
It's 2016 though - before IPO, Facebook, like many other startups, could afford to pay employees less salary with the options.

On that same note, the author should count his blessings. He received options. He was able to sell those options (a move many of us are criticizing) to buy a luxury car. Most people don't, or leave before they vest years later.
This app has wonderful intentions, but I fear that it won't work in real life. By merely downloading the app, kids will be labeling themselves as bullied. This opens up a variety of new avenues for bullies to ply their trade - from new insults ("You're such a loser you had to install that Sit With Us app") all the way up to sociopaths that install the app and extend a fake invitation to sit with them for the express purpose of further victimizing their targets.

Bullies will weaponize any means of escape that their victims attempt to utilize. Perhaps a more effective app would be one that lets parents register to field complaints about their kids' behavior from anyone.
Sorry but that's ridiculous, were talking about countries where a decent % of population in rural areas doesn't even have basic sanitary conditions and you are suggesting they should burn cash on AI cars ?
An 80-minute talk. Zizek tends to wander a bit:

The cost to this is bigger than you think though: Google software becomes so useless with it disabled you might as well just get someone else's software entirely.

For instance, Google Maps can't even, on my local device, show me the last couple places I searched for. Because if it isn't on the cloud, Google won't store it at all. This is what initially drove me off to HERE Maps a few years ago.

I've also had searches unable to even get me in the general local region, because if I won't let Google track my every move in their history, they won't bother to figure out what state I'm in for a search I'm running at the moment.

Yeah, I was going to say, OO is brutally overused and seems to be fading quite quickly in the new world of highly scalable systems, e.g. Spark, CouchDB and so on. Objects still have a place in widget sets, datetimes, etc.

Overall though they were often used by default where there were better ways and just as often abused to allow a ton of shared state (globals in disguise), which almost always makes code harder to follow.

When I attacked a bully back in a locker room, around 7th grade as well. I was never bullied again. I remember a new bully coming to school, and he started to pick on me. This other bully said to leave him (me) alone. Felt good as a child. I had earned respect.

My home is 2-3 years of my annual salary. So is most of my co-workers. Yes, that is probably not true for a teachers salary (although my first home was definitely within 4 years of a teachers salary.)

Whether or not it's a module or something else being awaited isn't the problem. The issue that if your app.js (or whatever) has dependencies on modules with top-level awaits, however far removed, it can't execute until they're done. In other words top-level await essentially blocks your entire app.

Using await inside an explicitly async function is great, because it only blocks code inside that function – the effects are localised and much easier to predict/reason about.
I guess I'll respond everywhere you tried to make this point. A $40k car will likely come with a 5yr loan that's cheaper than student loans. That'd actually be $8k/yr+interest... which is not 40% of your salary. Find something else to judge the guy for.
Except now those people who would normally be drivers now get zero dollars from Uber. I do agree with you that this is the way for the future and I'm all behind it, however doing this does cut out jobs (eventually) for a lot of drivers. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, and I suspect there will always be at least some human drivers. I live in a small town and I really couldn't see them justifying the cost of this here. Where I live there's currently one 1 or 2 uber drivers anyway, and they aren't always active and I just have to call the regular taxi company.

Just because you don't understand why it's not possible, doesn't mean that it is. A US citizen cannot be imprisoned without due process or being found in contempt of court (and in that case, only until the moment they comply with the court order). This is a basic premise of shelves upon shelves worth of Supreme Court decisions, and is guaranteed by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments.

Even without those amendments, what you suggest is not possible because Congress has passed no law establishing a body with the authority to imprison people in such a matter. And even then, only "Article III tribunals" (i.e. federal courts) have the authority to deprive civilians of liberty under federal law. "Article I tribunals" only have limited authority to decide civil matters, and to hear court-martials of servicemen.

You're also making totally false claims like:

>If it's a matter of "national security" all due process flies out the window.

There are multiple recent Supreme Court decisions directly contradicting that. For example, and very relevant to this exact discussion, the case of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. Further, given that Snowden is not a combatant in any armed forces or insurgent group, he is not subject to any military jurisdiction. He can only be tried in US federal courts.
WW2 was in some ways as much a war between corporations as it was a war between governments. Not to mention, some corporations happily played both sides of the conflict; ITT [0] and General Motors [1] among the more notorious examples.

Another point to be made is that while they say that "much has changed due to his actions" not all has been positive. Several court cases came out after this affirming the idea that you have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" for any internet-facing machine. In fact, the District Court in Virginia this month said that the FBI had the legal right to install malware on the computer of someone who visited a child pornography site. The ruling basically stated that in the modern era of technology, the general consensus is that no public-facing technology is safe from exploitation, so by using it (it being a computer), he acknowledged the risk that everything he did would be made available for observation from a 3rd party (whether a company or the government).

Google won a case a few years ago to the same effect. They were sued for scanning a private business' e-mail traffic and using it to target advertising. That court also ruled that if it was unencrypted communication, moving across "public" lines, then it was fair game for anyone who could intercept it.
Either it's the catalyst for basic income, or the catalyst for the demise of capitalism and the beginning of the erosion of the fundamental premise of skilled human time being a valuable and scare commodity eventually leading to many very negative scenarios and suffering around the world.

Let's hope it's for basic income...

Shared ownership schemes are hardly new: https://www.helptobuy.gov.uk/shared-ownership/

So I'm not sure what the magic is supposed to be. Is it that they get a larger share of the capital appreciation upside than would be implied by their ownership stake? Also note that this relies on the (normally reliable) assumption that real estate will forever increase in value.
Very well said.

(I know we're supposed to avoid comments like mine, but this one needed it.)
"Consistency is the virtue of a narrow mind" (Emerson; my take - new evidence requires new thinking). "No entity without identity" (Quine). "Listen to the system" (me, when debugging & reminding self to actually read error msgs instead of making assumptions). "No good deed goes unpunished" (trad, but my take on corporate politics). "Res ipsa loquitor" (Hunter S Thompson; the thing speaks for itself). "Nimium non sufficaret" (me on a pub crawl - too much is not enough!)...
Not a creationist, but a common argument against the earth being only several thousand years old is that star light must have taken much longer to get here given c. However, the simulation of those photons could have begun in transit, as you say.
Oh lord, it's Orlowski? That explains the shrill hyperoblic tone and fact-free environment (for a comparison, he's a shrill, hyperbolic climate denier too). His writing drove me off The Reg entirely: if the editors endorse that level of rubbish, the whole site is suspect.
> The problem with top-level await is that any modules depending on a module with a TLA cannot execute until it's done – the effects cascade and magnify throughout your app, rather than being confined to an explicitly async function.

Can't I already do this by putting a fs.readFileSync call or a synchronous AJAX call in my code?
Better still, link to both, as has happened here. People are often in situations where a wall of text is easier than a video, and vice versa.
Status update from Google: https://twitter.com/GoogleforWork/status/776079823773044736
It seems it would only cascade through the entire app if only the app was designed around dependencies being available first before other code is run. That is, if the app is designed badly.

Again, I don't understand the point of the proposal in this context since nobody should be awaiting a long list of dependencies to load first. If you have 100 dependencies that means you have 100 HTTP requests, which is really a poor design decision. That's why we bundle up dependencies into fewer chunks first before sending them down to the client.

Edit:
I understand that this would become a sequential issue if one import leads to a request which leads to further imports which lead to more subsequent requests. My point is that unless the developer(s) really don't understand how async/await works, they wouldn't reasonably design an app like this.
Not everything that you cannot disprove should be believed to be true, or even taken seriously.

Even taking that list and using it to discredit people isn't mass surveillance, it may just be mean, or stupid or even evil.

This doesn't work anymore. Even if the bully leaves you alone, you are now faced with expulsion due to zero-tolerance policies.

I'd agree with this solution, but unfortunately in many (_AMERICAN_) schools, retaliation against bullying shifts punishment from the bully to the victim.
Android is a global monopoly.
Looking at plugshare, it seems to me that the holes in the dc fast charging network are not all that numerous. A handful of stations would give the Bolt and all other electric cars a similar long-range story to what Tesla is offering.

Tesla is guaranteed to lose this game eventually, with all other carmakers aligned to a real standard. Their supercharger system offers only slightly faster charging than SAE combo DC fast charge, and supercharger plug is already less common than the standard.
I find async/await in C# to be super useful, and fairly addictive once you start using it. Say you want to do three independent things in a function. How would you run them in parallel without async? Delegates, background workers, or threads? With async, this is simply done with Task.WhenAll().
It's an article in The Intercept. That isn't a publication that is known for making government look good.

the dream is a simulation? we create also an "avatar" of us that is completely different from us like memory and personality. But when we wakeup we understand that was a dream, and also we can wakeup inside the dream (lucid dreaming)
I absolutely agree. But... the quantum mechanical "it doesn't really have a state until you observe it" could make sense as the simulation optimizing by skipping the parts that nobody can see.
I would guess there's a range of accelerations and relative to posted speeds that would be equally safe. Optimizing for passenger preference within that range is what I am referring to.
I don't mean to be rude, but would you mind sharing the type of financial situation you grew up in?

I don't remember wasting that much time as a teenager, since if I wanted something, I needed to get a job and work for it. If there was any chance of my bettering the type of situation I grew up on, I had to make sure my grades were amazing. I had to deal with someone else's serious drug addiction in the family, and try to make sense of it, while committing to myself. I don't know if you were ever physically abused as a child because of the lack of drive?

I'm just saying, you may have had the privilege to waste time on someone else's dime, and everything still worked out alright. Not everyone has that. Some of us, if we're not willing to fight from the get-go, we're going nowhere.

Anwyays, congratulations on your post doctoral fellowship.
Ah, thank you, that makes sense. The term "footgun" is pretty interesting here, as it generally refers to something that allows one to shoot one's self in the foot. In this case, it's allows someone else to shoot you in the foot by hiding it in their code :/.
