Meh, I think "professionalism" just means "following the social rules corporations want you to follow", so I don't much care. I don't really think there's a good "professional" way to handle this situation.

But as for how I'd handle this situation as a person, I'd consult a lawyer, and if a cease and desist wasn't likely to work, yes, I'd just ignore it and move on. Shooting yourself in the foot out of revenge isn't good for anyone even if you also manage to shoot the person using your content.

Interesting. The video doesn't show the mechanism by which the little mobile units grab and load a case of something from the racks. That's the classic hard problem with automated storage and retrieval systems. Most of them use special pallets or totes. This one doesn't. That's a big win. Everything else in that video is off the shelf technology.

This is a wholesale warehouse; pallets go in and pallets with different mixes of boxes go out. It's not a fulfillment center where small customer orders are picked. Amazon is working on that, but so far they're only semi-automated. Kiva robots bring the racks to a human picker, who takes an object out of one bin and puts it in another. Amazon has a competition for robots to do that.

Oh boy, I forgot just how much of a problem this was on Android. I've been using an iPhone for a little over a year now and it seems to be dramatically better in Apple's ecosystem for some reason. This post brought back nightmares where I'd check my Android phone and have 10+ notifications that were 100% spam.
"Indeed, one employee, David Haase, is currently suing the firm for breach of contract, saying it owes him more than $109,000 in business expenses that he accrued on a personal American Express card at Rothenberg’s direction."

This is mind-boggling. Why would an employee agree to do this? If my employer is desperate enough for cash that they want me to open a personal credit line for corporate expenses, what chances are there that the company will ever be able to pay back what it owes me?

The linked article[1] gives more details:

"Haase says in his suit that in May, he opened the account with Rothenberg’s approval “for the purpose of acting as a credit line for the day-to-day expenses incurred by RVM.” These included business expenses charged by Rothenberg’s “numerous administrative assistants at his direct request.” Part of those expenses included payroll, according to our sources."

The company is charging payroll to an employee's personal credit card? Either they don't have a bank account, or their bank account has nothing in it, or their funds are frozen pursuant to some legal matter. None of these would make it likely that the money would ever be paid back to the employee.

But there's more:

"Another former senior executive said Rothenberg owes him at least $40,000 in back wages. Another third employee has filed with the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement for $70,000 of unpaid wages from the firm."

$70K is a lot of missed paychecks, even for an employee with a rather high salary. Why would people continue working for a company that makes clear to them that it doesn't have the money to pay them?

Does this mean that you must enable JS for simple pages with text to load if they have been AMP'ed?

You need to stop thinking about things in engineer terms. The scale going 7,9,b,0,2,3 instead of G,A,B,C,D,E,F with B and E flat may be functionally identical, but one is sure a better representation of the actual patterns in the music than simply referring to a number proportional to the log(frequency).
I agree with this, with one caveat: I think 'discipline' is a misleading word for what you're describing. That's what's so counter-intuitive -- once you build the habits of excellence, then executing on those habits is actually trivial, and requires almost no effort. Talking about 'discipline' makes it sound like you're bearing down and getting on with the heroic business of self-denial, when the real trick is to burn in these beneficial behaviors to the point where it would be nearly as hard to not do them as to do them. I guess that's a kind of discipline (maybe discipline-in-outcome), but the usual idiomatic sense seems to be more discipline-in-exhibited effort. Two very different things.
The point I was trying to make was that iOS, and Safari on iOS, has a massive, massive user base. Throwing #1 vs #2 into the mix is distracting from that point.

Governments nowadays don't buy a solar plant, they put out a tender "we're willing to buy X GWh of solar power a year for Y years. Solar panels can be placed in area A, and must be removed afterwards. Please quote us a price per kWh."

Advantage of that for the buyer is that, if they get a offer that is too good to be true, they haven't paid the full sum when the seller goes bankrupt.

Also, because the seller has to operate and maintain what he sells, he will think harder about maintenance costs, ease of removal, etc.

Another example of this is the recent auction for a sea-based wind farm in the Netherlands (http://www.offshorewind.biz/2016/07/06/borssele-12-worlds-ch..., 7.27 eurocents/kWh)

Risk for the buyer is that he commits to buy a fixed amount of power at a fixed price over the lifetime of the plant. Worst-case for the buyer, we develop cheap fusion next year, so that electricity prices drop to zero.
As far as I can tell, there is not single link to an AMP article anywhere in the blog post.

tlsdate is a much cleaner implementation of this idea, taking the time from the handshake. TLS 1.3 as it stands makes sending the server time optional.

The 'Date' header is tricky because it is a timestamp of when the document was generated, not when it was served. Caching proxies have no obligation to (and in most cases shouldn't) update the value.
Ah, yes, forgot about UI and workers comp, so let's make that ~130% (assuming an employer doesn't have egregious numbers of unemployment claims which cause their UI to skyrocket).

Scale (YC S16) Bounding Box API – Image Annotations by Humans via API
You're totally right.

Even if I never had to use jQuery directly (had a short gig with Ember) I can see what it did.

It made JavaScript usable in the dark ages and did it with a nice API.

What do the frameworks of today?

What is their USP?

I mean React, for example, has a nice small API and its component concept is easy to grasp. To create an app, simply nest components, but the boilerplate and understanding required for Flux/Redux obliterates this. Not to mention the whole BabelJSXFlow stuff they have going on (and try to solve with create-react-app now)

It can be rendered on the server and the client can show finished markup and take it over to form a SPA, but as far as I can tell this is mostly a querstion of taste, since it now forces more load on the server.

So I wouldn't say it had too much of a net-positive effect as it could have had.
Finish and Feedback
Funny thing is that socialism tends to reject religion, but price controls originated in Christian thought.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_price

What a lot of people don't realize is that prices aren't inherently good or bad in and of themselves, they just are. If somebody else is willing to pay 20k for a diamond, that's the price of a diamond.

No amount of legislation or argument will drive down the price of a diamond to what it "should" be.

See http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014240527023034600045791921.... The prices of electronics dropped in price after a governmental mandate. Guess what? After the store inventories were depleted, they never got any more TVs to sell.

Something like this had been on Google's wishlist for a long time. Google news stirred up the news industry way back and Rupert Murdoch took a big stake in fighting against it, rallying other publishers. Google also bought the wire licenses so it was free to display a lot of the breaking news directly but had to play a balancing act to avoid irking the publishers.

When FB moved to instant articles, Google moved to amp. It was the opening they had been waiting for, for a long time. AMP was an opportunistic play--a damn good one for Google.

It sucks for publishers but they are forced to play along because of you are always at the mercy of your dumbest competitor.

Users may win but this isn't something publishers want or desire. Building faster pages is easier now than ever. Not as fast as AMP or Facebook Instant but still.

Over time this will lead to commodification because of lack of standards. Bing and others will further lose their lead to AMP. Users will like the new UX. Publishers are confused.

That's a very short section, but it looks more like how the driving system itself responds if a sensor is damaged in a crash. Basically, that it should hand control back to the driver. And also if you crash and then repair the system, it must somehow be validated/tested before being put back in service.

The data collection "black box" side of it is in a different section.

Yes and no. It can be better in less time, it can also be just better or just faster (but worse) all depending on what is important.

Classifier A gets F1 score of 0.93 on test set has a lower performance than classifier B, which gets an F1 score of 0.94, regardless of time.

However, you can also say that classifier C, which only achieves an F1 score of 0.929 has better performance, since it is four times as fast.

I don't think that's really all that relevant. The two activities at hand (hacking networked cars vs. throwing a brick off a bridge) appeal to two different types of people. Also one can (theoretically) be done from the comfort of one's own house/office/bedroom which can be anywhere in the world, while the other requires going to the specific location of the traffic.
Seems like it. What it appears to do it swap in the AMP links for supported sites when you search via mobile.
DoseDr (YC W16) Is Hiring a Full Stack Dev – Build Telemedicine for Chronic Illness
In my opinion, you mentioned the core reason why you find the excitement baffling, i.e. that you don't drive often but you find it exciting when you do.

Now imagine the scenario for most of the US, a public-transport-hostile country for the most part, where millions upon millions of people burn their precious lives waiting in traffic and sucking in traffic fumes. In my mind, this is one of the most appalling wastes of human potential that has ever existed. Sure, some try to make lemonade out of lemons by educating/informing themselves as they see fit but by and large, it is a huge waste. Not to mention the many thousands of people who die every year in car accidents during the daily commute.

So from my point of view, the self driving car is a thrilling concept: the ability to disengage from a useless, pointless, and hopeless daily grind and engage in something that I want to do, whether it be work, reading, watching a movie, etc. is cool. The closest I have come to this dream in my transit-unfriendly Texas city is the one job where I had an opportunity to take the train/bus into downtown: while this made my daily commute very long, I loved it because it freed me up from the drudge of driving.

Some might ask that perhaps I just hate driving. That is not true. I love taking road trips or autocrossing when I can. But to equate the daily commute with enjoyment is a bridge too far, in my opinion. Banish it, I say, banish it.
UPDATE:

With Stripe's help, we've resolved the problem. In the process, I've learned several things:

- Do the numbers. In our case, we found that the decline surge was caused purely by MasterCard payments in foreign currencies.

- Actively encourage customers to call their bank to accept the payment. In our case, we modified the payment rejected page to give detailed instructions, including what information their bank would need.

- The customer calls provide feedback to the bank's fraud detection system on a timescale of days. Our MasterCard rejections went from zero to 100% over three or four days, and then gradually back down to zero over three days.

- The banks don't get IP addresses, so Appengine was not a factor in the declined payments.

My only criticism of Stripe is that their declines help page describes declines as sporadic random events, which was not what we were experiencing. Knowing that decline surges happen - and the points above - would have hugely reduced the stress caused by the situation.

But apart from that, Stripe are great. Their simple-but-powerful and awesomely-documented API is the best I've used, and the service itself just works. Thanks Stripe!
On mobile, at least Safari iOS, all the AMP results are at the very top. I can't even see the first non-AMP result unless I'm in portrait.
First, I think you have to understand your own motivations - are you interested in pursuing this as a serious side project and/or startup?

You found something interesting, a real or perceived market imbalance. If there really is a shortage of talent, and a shortage of jobs for people over 30, you could provide a curated pipeline.

Now you have to find the other side - a job board is a two-sided marketplace, and those are hard.

I'd talk with recruiters and HR people. Also with people that have been involved with job boards. I'd try to find a mentor among those.

As a 35-year-old myself, something that you would have to address is prejudices on both sides of the equation: companies that believe that "old" programmers are no good, and developers that believe that company X is a "bullshit" job (most older developers will be pickier).

Nothing. Bing has already started using AMP in their results.
Well, that is what A/B testing is. With a decision rule to try to make that determination in some sensible.

Usually the decision rule is stated in terms of a statistical confidence test. Usually the confidence test is done poorly enough that it doesn't mean what people think it does.

And the stopping procedure isn't actually very arbitrary. You choose N based on the most data that you're willing to collect for this experiment. And stop when you're confident about which version will be ahead at that point.

So this procedure leaves you confident of having the best answer that you will get from the most extensive test that your organization is willing to commit to running. And the cost to the organization of running it is capped at sqrt(N) lost conversions.
"It worked for dock workers when containers were invented." There's a long description of that in "The Box", by Marc Levinson. It sort of worked for workers. But, in some major cases, the entire port moved. In San Francisco, the Port of San Francisco essentially shut down as a freight operation and the container traffic went to a new container port in Oakland. In London, the container traffic went to a new non-union port on the east coast, and the huge London dock complex was abandoned. (Now it's housing and the finance industry.)

The Longshoreman's Union in San Francisco negotiated a "guaranteed annual income" deal, but only for two years ending in 1977.[1] They still have a good pay rate for full "class A" longshoremen: $36.68 plus various bonuses and shift differentials. It's possible to make $150K a year as a longshoreman. And you probably don't have to do heavy lifting. But there aren't that many of them left.
