Well I think there is a lot of complexity in the interpreter of the math string. For example, imagine I write an interpreter that takes a single character, and if it's 'A' gives a mandelbrot fractal, 'B' a burning ship fractal, 'C' an image of the sun that is hardcoded into the program (what's the difference between such hardcoding of information and the 'hardcoding' of how multiplication is performed, anyways?) <-- Here is a program that has a lot of 'complexity' produced with only 3 possible inputs.

My point is basically, the system includes the interpreter all the way up to the eye and the mind, and it seems tricky to completely detach such context from a description of how 'complex' things are.

It's the same with any industry that's automated - it's not going to all happen at once. Self-driving cars will start to be introduced, and slowly human drivers will begin to pull out. The rug isn't going to be swept out from under them and they'll have time to adapt. In the meantime - a driver is free to capitalize on it how they see fit.
Synthetic diamonds has eaten into the real diamond market, don't kid yourself. They're having to work a lot harder for much smaller profits.

There's also a lot of effort from the diamond mining conglomerates to fight against synthetic diamonds. The poachers have no such capability, they're just doing it for money and will move on to whatever else pays better the moment poaching isn't profitable.

It's a two part thing: Increase supply, cut demand. You can't expect miracles without working both angles aggressively, and we've only just started with truly "fake" horns that test as the real thing.

It would be a redistribution only if Uber drivers are earning less. Do you have data to prove that?

Maybe the lower prices and better quality of service are incenting more people to take Ubers than taxis, which may mean that drivers are earning more, in aggregate and/or individually.

I've taken a couple of dozen Uber trips that I wouldn't have taken by taxi. That's a redistribution from me to a poorer driver — a good thing.
Some pointers for a noob to follow? Thanks in advance.
Browser shares vary wildly by country. For example in germany FF is still the widest used desktop browser. Including mobile probably tips it in favor of safari or chrome, but losing a substantial portion of the desktop market in Europe's largest economy will hurt you.

This confused me until I remembered that Google is recycling the term Daydream. Search for Android Daydream and you'll find a few results for the old lockscreen API (after all the VR hype).

Can we get a VR added in parentheses to disambiguate the title?

I built my own for Android (still on the store, but not linking as I need to pull it and fix) - love the Pomodoro technique, and it's quite a nice, simple challenge to build something for. I used it to learn the basics of Java/Android and get something functional into the store within 48 hours. Good intellectual exercise.

My guess: badly done VR makes you nauseous. Humans remember under what circumstances they've become nauseous. Google does not want their platform associated in people's minds with nausea, so they're curating.
Wouldn't the nounce approach described in the article work for this?
This is awful logic. What happens if there's another financial downturn, causing you to not be able to sell your car? What happens if the price of oil goes way down, causing the value of Teslas to drop dramatically?

If you can't afford the car without others paying for it, you probably shouldn't sign for the loan. Hell, you shouldn't be able to get one in the first place.
There are also more static variants. I know that Yandex collaborated with Zelenograd [0] (city to the north of Moscow) to optimize timings of city traffic lights. Yandex has similar data to what Google does in other places, due to Yandex.Maps app, and they reported to increase average car speed at many intersections without dropping average at any other one.

On the example shown, average car speed at one particular intersection improved from 10 km/h in rush hours to 30 km/h, which is fairly significant.

For many cities which do not want to spend money to replace all traffic lights, such collaborations could be less-than-optimal, but still a great improvement.

Don't you think that paying $50 one time license is cheaper than designing one's own instruction set and processor from scratch (that's assuming that one wants to do that, rather than re-use or modify the UltraSPARC T-series code)?

How ironic that the paper thinks that reigster windows, one of the most powerful features of the UltraSPARC processor, which gives the processor 256 virtual registers, is including too much. Wow. Are these guys unfamiliar with the UltraSPARC, or what?!?

Also they imply that delayed branch in MIPS and SPARC is somehow bad, but they don't write that for every branch instruction an UltraSPARC doesn't take, one gets a free instruction execution slot inside of the same clock cycle... what's that all about?

The paper even mentions that SPARC V8 has been turned into a IEEE standard.

This whole paper reeks of the "not invented here", and "we just want to build our own processor and we think everyone should use ours, it's the best!"

The only practical plus I see in OpenRISC's favor is 128-bit addressing.

The only implication of non-free that I could find in the paper mentioning SPARC is that SPARC V9 is proprietary, but proprietary does not mean that it's not open, just that someone owns the implementation.

My conclusion is: "we just wanted to design our own processor no-matter-what, and you should use ours!"

Umm, no, I won't do that, because any new processor needs assembler coders with several decades of experience (I code in assembler, so I know what's involved), and they have to be capable of implementing a compiler which can generate code which can take advantage of the processor. Case in point is Itanium, a very fast processor which left out most of the hardware for an assumption that the compiler will be good enough to generate code which will take advantage of it. That never really materialized and Itanium has gone down in history of computing as "Itanic".

UltraSPARC is a very powerful processor, and when utilized correctly, it is a very fast processor, designed to be fast and designed to be powerful and extensible (SPARC stands for Scalable Processor ARChitecture). The code to synthesize and modify the existing design is free. Not only is it free, it was one of the first, if not the first processor designs ever to be open sourced and made freeware. It has Sun Studio which has evolved enough to take advantage of the processor features, so one can just hit the ground running with the design. 128-bit addressing of OpenRISC and not having to pay a one time $50 USD licensing fee is, in my view, not enough of an incentive to start from scratch trying to fix something (UltraSPARC RISC) which does not need fixing.
There's some evidence that Christopher Columbus ventured to the New World based on Norsemen knowledge of Vinland that had reached the Catholic Church.

People can say all they want: That self-driving cars will take over, that Uber is over-valued, that Uber shouldn't have bet on China, that the industry won't last, that people don't want xyz.

Things aren't so black and white - and the market is different in different parts of the world, for better or worse.

I've been living in Indonesia (I'm an American citizen) for the past year and GO-Jek is the big runner here. It's huge, all of my friends use it, and it's damn well the most convenient thing I've used in a while - and it offers even more than Uber: Motorbike rides, car rides, cleaning services, massages, food delivery, item shipment, etc. It definitely has some kinks - but it's growing, and fast.

Now Uber came in last year and I've watched it's growth - they're subsidizing drivers by 50%; what would cost me normally $20 from a taxi driver on the street costs me $8-10 with Uber, and the drivers get paid the same. But there are also issues they have to deal with - such as restricted zones for pickups.

The idea as a whole is here to stay; it will be improved on continuously, features will be added and removed, run-ins with governments and failed investments will be a part of the process - but peer-to-peer transportation and delivery will increase 10-fold.
It's quite handy. I can't think of another adjective that means both Orwellian and Kafka-esque.
These are the slides from a talk Knuth gave recently in San Francisco, at the public library[1]. I attended (it was FREE!), and I thought it was quite good — this was the first time I've ever seen Knuth in person, let alone a lecture by him. As other comments note, the slides in isolation aren't really that great; you really need the video. The talk was titled Thirty Two Years of Metafont, with a subtext of "Donald Knuth will reminisce and talk about things he remembers." It was, in fact, his musings on Metafont, which I found quiet interesting.

lifepillar helpfully found the video in another comment[2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LR_lBEy7qU

One of my senior classes in college was Typography, the final project of which was to author a font, A-Z a-z 0-9 and some punctuation. That is a grueling task, and I have a lot of respect now for the people who can do it and have the result not look terrible (as mine did). In particular, in the talk, Knuth notes the difficulty of the letter "S" — which nearly drove me insane trying to render it as part of my final project, so I found it quite humorous that it also gave him a bit of grief. It is a frustrating letter when you need to not just write one, but accurately describe it to a computer.

Consuming cocoa flavanols lowers blood pressure, increases flow-mediated vasodilation and improves blood cholesterol profile. Applying the Framingham risk score suggests that cocoa flavanols might therefore be able to reduce age-related risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
I don't disagree w/ your attidude towards the LOC metric, and I especially like your idea in the footnotes about each line of code being a tax on future programmers who have to read the code. I'm afraid that the code example itself is a bit hand-wavy though, since you introduce a "downloadAsync" function that needs to be implemented differently for each example. So I thing your argument could be strengthened with a more concrete code sample. Continuing the money/tax analogy, if each line of code represents a tax to be paid each time the code is read, then the cost of understanding the code with fewer lines represents an "entrance fee" that would be a barrier to less-experienced devs. I could see how even a technically-minded manager might appreciate the code with the lower barrier to entry -- and justifying their continued use of the LOC metric thereby.
Or a medical student who never did an operation before? Arts are the exception, not the rule. In other areas it is fully understood that the whole purpose of the program is to teach you everything, so actually saying "you have to know this before" would be weird.
>This is total stream of consciousness. Is Uber multiplying the taxi fleet? How can one put so many competing statements together like that and think it's coherent?

It might actually be multiplying the taxi fleet. I personally use uber to go to work every day and before I'd just use the subway.

This graph on reddit, suggests uber creates a lot of demand rather than just converting it from taxis. https://i.redd.it/1s8w5uqjkvnx.png

This explains why Uber is valued so much more than the taxi industry. Because it's growing the industry.
Yes, excuse -- you need one to account for making stuff up ("the staff didn't respect him") based on nothing but your own irrational animus, aka bigotry.

Don't change the subject. Blathering in five paragraphs about irrelevancies does not justify your bogus and malicious assertion.

Here is a free clue that might help you understand things, or not: in my personal experience apart from Mozilla, both at past jobs and from reading the news, when someone exits under duress at high level, a statement of few, vague, and neutral-sounding words is often part of the deal.

Mercury found to be tectonically active
I remember interviewing at Palantir in 2012 at the VA office, i did not see a single non-white person in the office. Everyone i met except for the HR person was most likely below the age of 25 and they all had similar personalities in a weired way. I still don't know why I didn't make past my final interview because i did not get any feedback. It never crossed my mind that it may have to do with the fact that I am not white. I thought it had to do with showing my concern over their unlimited vacation policy and the work life balance and they probably wanted someone that lives in the office. Hope it's the latter.
Yes, answering questions is great, I totally agree with that. But I would love if SO could allow more open questions as well. I'm not a huge fan of Reddit, but it seems the only place where I can ask those questions (plus some IRC channels perhaps).
True, but it is a good sign that people are willing to do that to drive a good electric car. Tesla is going to make a killing whenever the Model 3 happens. I'm especially excited to see the other auto manufacturers responses. I'd like to have a variety of electric car options.

In Paris the idea is to make the city more hostile to cars (any car, your private car, taxis, ubers) by reducing the number of roads they are allowed onto.

The city voted yesterday to close the main road through the city ("quais rive droite") after the equivalent road in the other way ("quais rive gauche") had been closed 3 years ago.

I think London is thinking of doing the same (plans to close Oxford Street?)

How it will end is a mystery to me; not everyone is comfortable using public transportation (esp. the elderly). In London the subway is kind of okay... in Paris it's horrible.

The problem with D's garbage collector is that it just a very old implementation, with performance problems and they lack contributions to improve it.
MS engineer here, I work on mono.

Mono is not a strict superset of .net Core. We follow desktop more closely.

The extra APIs that are part of .net core, and are features on .net standard 1.6 will come to mono as we get the time to implement them.
That discussion isn't that relevant, when you're trying to figure out this kind of valuation though. The reason for that dip was largely 90 and 180 day lock-ups increasing supply of shares traded as employees sold stock. Also there were economic fears helping pressure the stock down.

FB's valuation at IPO was still smaller than it's primary domestic market's (ad spending) size ($165B in 2012).

Uber's primary domestic market (taxis) is only valued at ($20B), so if they captured all of the US taxi, their current valuation requires them to capture over 300% of the market.^

Now obviously that's not a perfect barometer. There are other variables and adjustments to make, but it makes it very clear that there is limited upside potential. Without claiming another market (ownership), it's actually damn near impossible. They've also ceded competition in the Chinese market to DiDi, so they can't make it up via global expansion either.

^edit (Obviously, this is a 1x multiple, as you increase to more reasonable values it drops the share required, but you have to push it pretty hard to reduce market share to a decent level.)

How to Add a Linux Machine as PowerShell Host in VRO
Yeah. That's a good articulation of some of the problems but that's tough to learn them the hard way. I wrote a comment below talking a bit about how a lot of these problems start to go away with Exponent but I wanted to offer some thoughts if you or your teammates have embarked on the raw React Native route.

One thing I've learned from working with React Native is that you want to stay fairly up to date with the frequent releases. The Exponent team puts a lot of work into upgrading our own dependencies and maintaining the Exponent API that other developers depend on.

Authors of components and other npm packages will update their code to work with the latest version of React Native. It takes energy to stay up to date since you need to read the release notes and breaking changes and sometimes it's helpful to scan the commit history on the release branch. But this way you can use react-redux v4 and other actively developed dependencies.

On the other hand, though, sometimes component authors don't maintain their projects or support one platform but not the other. When dependencies fall out of date there isn't an easy answer. In the past I've fixed the issues myself and sent pull requests. Showing financial support is also another approach; my teammate Brent wrote a post about this: https://blog.getexponent.com/putting-your-money-where-your-p.... The maintenance of open-source libraries isn't unique to React Native but it's perhaps exacerbated by its cross-platform nature and frequent release cycle.

For the issue about CPU ABIs, I believe React Native supports armeabi-v7a and x86 but not arm64-v8a or x64. It would be great to have native arm64 support but so far no one has needed it enough to implement it instead of using ndk.abiFilters. For what it's worth, this works for Exponent and several other companies with apps that use React Native like Facebook.
