You can use it as the mobile device connector as clientside auth, push, latency compensation, presense and offline persistence are big features on their own. For sensitive joins, have a server side joiner with administrative privileges. Still, it's work that should be easier I agree. Firebase's strength is not what other DBs can do, but what they cannot.
Personally I think they might be more useful as a secondary bandwidth channel: you can now see, while you speak, if the majority needs the point clarified.

Nearly every company these days falls for this. I suspect suits completely misunderstand the principle of time value of money, as they wrongly conflate "short term money" with "earlier money."

And in finance, when it comes to inflows of money, earlier always trumps later (as it's assumed that you can thus will invest that money for longer when you get it earlier).
Asymmetric information of political operations has no place in a well-functioning democracy.
I don't think we disagree that much. My problem is simply training humans to become better pattern marchers via rote practice is simply less useful now that computers are getting better (much much better) at that anyways. There is not much point for a person to do model training by hand, for example. So what is left? Abstract reasoning, problem solving rather than number crunching. Being able to understand the math so that it becomes intuition.

Many classes are still stuck in teaching students to pattern match rather than really understand what they are doing, and why. Practice on a bunch problem sets without does nothing to fix that.

Rote learning is just not useful for the jobs that are humans are going to do next, where computers are going to be able to pattern match much better than us anyways.

When I was living in Canada, I'd get an annual plan from my bank. It allowed me 30 days outside of the country. I can't remember too many details, as I've never made a claim on travel insurance, but I regularly participate in sports that can easily put me in hospital.

Since moving to Australia a few years ago, travel insurance has been a pain.

1) Most insurers won't give you coverage if you are travelling to or through your home country. So, what are you supposed to do? I'm not covered as a Canadian anymore and they consider "home country" to be the country of your passport, not residency.
2) I'm getting up there in years, and as of next year, the one company that will insure me for travel to my home country won't insure me while skiing - there isn't an add on package that would allow this.

Really, I think my biggest gripe is that, as with most insurance, you read through all the fine print and then wonder what you're actually paying for.

My father always said insurers are much better at collecting money than they are at paying you back for insurance.

I like that you're looking to improve this.
Are you looking to become an insurer? Or more like a service which would point users to the right insurers?

Take a look at https://onebigswitch.com this might be an interesting model for you, and a neat way into the market.

It baffles me that Quora is so successful despite their closed approach. You can't use a pseudonym and can't see questions unless you login (there are workarounds, but I'm talking about normal users). They also seemingly block archive.org from archiving their content. Stack Exchange on the other hand has none of these drawbacks.

It's not a binary thing! you can shut the door when you need to concentrate and open it when you want to be sociable. That's how it was in my last job and it worked great. Currently I'm in an open-plan office that's hot and noisy, so I work from home in the mornings when I do work that requires concentration and then I go into the office in the afternoon for easier work and chatting.

You may want to give the follow script a try:

It flips some handy flags providing useful output, this output can quickly illuminate issues the regular tools do not (yet).

Running this on the example you linked to bellow, shows that a series of functions are deopting and optimizing repeatedly. most likely causing at-least some of the sawtooth pattern you see.

example output (likely related to the problem):

there are pros and cons in every solution.

with openoffice barriers between team members are torn down, but it is harder to concentrate, as Joel said.

when you work from home it is easier to concentrate (one condition: you are alone in home), but there are much bigger problems in communication beetween project members.

I have the impression that the approach to this subject comes full circle.

I think you can not find the best solution for all.

Quora sucks. Well, I guess it is OK, if you like a sterile community, where contrary opinions and rational thought are smoothed and sanitized for easy and spineless consumption.
Any words are allowed on HN, as are any comments that are civil, substantive and (sincerely intended to be) intellectually gratifying. With that in mind, the above comment certainly missed the mark.
Yahoo was in a completely nascent unsettled market, and Microsoft didn't go anywhere. Microsofts net revenue and net income are large than Alphabets/Googles.
The hand signal for point of order is very similar to BSL for vagina. I'm not sure they consulted any Deaf people.
This is often repeated on HN threads as a plausible explanation for open plans, always without evidence. But it makes very little sense as a theory. Companies do not have a financial inventive to consciously cripple their very highly paid, very difficult to hire developers' productivity. People are their number one expense and asset, vastly moreso than office space. Far from cutting corners, many open plan companies also spend lavishly on amenities to keep engineers happy.

A more plausible explanation is companies do open plan because they believe it will help foster collaboration, culture and team productivity. You may disagree but the "beancounter" theory makes no sense.

> Good quality headphones also mean that your neighbour's shitty music isn't leaking noise into the workspace.

You don't need anything expensive for that, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD-202 ($25) at work that do it just fine. In fact, they also block most noise from the outside, to the point that I can't hear the person 6ft away who's calling my name.

If I were presented with a candidate (already somehwhat vetted) who claimed authorship of an open source project, I would definitely take a look at it, and then ask them detailed questions about it in the interview. If they hadn't actually written it, I don't think they could fool me for very long.

Where?

And, well..., I don't know for translations but, read in French, Sade's books are never boring. They are extremely attractive from a stylistic point of view, but the theme and the story are utterly repulsive. It's just the work of a lunatic genious. He was obsessed by debunking one particular lie, which is that virtue is always rewarded, eventually. To me Justine ou les Malheurs de la vertu is his only book I was able to read to the end.
I'm curious what Firebase users do in real life. Do people realize this is a problem?

I can imagine making an app like that where all mutations go through my server and reads go through Firebase. How would this interact with the offline persistence feature though? I suppose you could allow the client to do some simple mutations like editing text fields. For the mutations that must go through the server, though, perhaps you could do optimistic local updates?
> Just in case that was your intention: expecting a student's understanding of proportionality to fully mature over 6 years is ridiculously optimistic -- often a big chunk of the first year of a graduate mathematics program is devoted to introducing measure theory.

First off, I'm not getting the proportionality => measure theory link. Proportionality figures in much more prominently in other areas (e.g. projective spaces, geometry in general). Where's the time you allot for studying PU(n)?

Second, you forgot to demand that high school science teach kids how to derive hyperfine structure so they can really understand what a hydrogen atom is. You should probably give up on teaching them about any of the other elements at all.

> You know what would be great? If excellent (or even mediocre) mathematicians who know what it takes to learn math well became invested teachers. When that happens, the outcomes are amazing. Pretty much without exception, IME.

Except what you'll get is as many opinions on what to spend the 6 years on as there are mathematicians. And any discussion is likely to be dominated by group theorists thinking group theory is the most important thing mankind has come up with, analysts thinking the same about calculus, etc. Doesn't sound helpful to me at all.
It's easy to measure the money saved when you go from individual offices to an open plan. It is a lot harder to measure the lost productivity of your programmers.
Interesting article and makes some good points. But I don't think I'm the only one who has a problem with finishing projects instead of starting them. For me at least, the process of starting a new project is fun and rewarding. But as time goes on I just lose faith in it and just drop what I'm working for some new idea.

Regulatory capture is a much better marketing strategy than appealing to the tech community. PCI/HIPAA/etc makes antivirus mandatory, so no need to convince users.
For Amazon this might just about be true, however, there are strong platform effects. Amazon is growing faster than the market. There is a fairly obvious argument to make for why its a natural monopoly: If its the first place buyers go to look for stuff, it's the first place sellers go for stuff. If it's the place where all the sellers are, it's the place buyers go to look first.

Really, given that this is a market that is growing double digits by year, the amount by which amazon dominates it is shocking.

And that is in a market that is still growing rapidly. For Facebook/Whatsapp this is even more obviously not true. Facebook even failed to leverage its social network monopoly to establish its messenger against insurgents, simply because they were a bit late.
If it is the same drug, dose, and usage I must profess a bit of confusion as to what could possibly be preventing it from being a direct substitute.

Interesting that he cited Microsoft as the canonical example 16 years ago. That example hasn't aged well. In the ensuing years, Microsoft has lost its edge in software innovation. It's not exactly proof positive that everyone working alone in their office or at home is the best way to run a company.

I think in those 16 years we have learned that there is personal productivity and there is team productivity. The former is critical for shipping, but the latter is also critical for developing ideas and collaboration. You can't just talk about maximizing one without thinking about the impact on the other.

Yes, I had this issue when working for some administrative software, and other problems like what date of birth do you input for the many people which have unknown date of birth? I have also seen many handwritten "identification papers" which you'd have very hard time deciphering anything from it with some degree of certainty.

We believe our times are more free than past times, but that's only partially true. In some places and in some past periods, people did not have "identification papers" and could still travel the worlds and cross borders (minus the slowness and danger of old times travels).
I don't really understand why people treat de Sade's writing as different than any other run-of-the-mill elaborate fetish fiction. I suppose because, at the time, nobody else was publishing their elaborate fetish fiction, and so it was easy to pretend that de Sade was the only person in history who'd ever had a fetish.

But guys, really, we've had the internet for 20 years now. There's nothing remotely interesting or unique or special about somebody else's boring, self-absorbed wankfic.
My point was that go run being "fast enough" doesn't really mean anything -- it's precisely the same speed as go build. :P

That may apply to machine learning, but not to anything you'd get in a grade school math education. Or a graduate one for that matter. Moving from rote implementation of something else came up with to figuring out how to approach problems where the steps aren't already laid out for you is a big speed bump in university education for mathematics majors.

Also, unless our current machine learning algorithms just need bigger computers to take over the world, somebody is going to have to develop more. If some kind of guiding intuition isn't a part of that process, the universe will hit heat death before we build an AGI.
For the hooks and key bindings: it is an alpha release of the initial version. Those things may come, and will come if it becomes successful and users want it. Certainly, it has to provide a way to really store documents. The cloud then is a natural choice for this kind of tool.

Also, I think this doesn't need a linter, as the UI limits you to creating valid documents, and it has live preview because it is wysiwig (it isn't TeX and doesn't aim to be)

I would guess (but it is not my project) macros are unlikely to come soon, if at all.
> It's interesting, but perhaps not surprising, that that obituary does not mention how critical Erdős felt his amphetamine use was to his work. A famous anecdote:

I personally don't find this particularly remarkable or relevant to a discussion of the man himself. It would be relevant to a discussion of amphetamines, or of performance enhancing drugs, sure, but it's not really relevant to an obituary.

I have a good friend who says that he can't think as well if he doesn't eat enough meat. If he somehow went from 'above average' to 'legendary' in some field of endeavor, sure, the story about the meat would make for an amusing personal anecdote, and would become commonly cited by omnivores when arguing with vegetarians, but is something that would probably be left out of a one-page obituary.
This can clearly go the other way: people who make an impact are approached so much that it's hard to keep the door closed, doesn't mean it's their natural preference.

Am I the only one that believes that the kind of non-preferential routing and anonymity that the current exchange setups provide is a benefit? In terms of society as a whole this far outweighs the downsides of DoS attacks using IP spoofing.

"Solving" the "problem" of ip spoofing is only a benefit for centralized authorities and services. The loss of privacy is also serious. People advancing this idea are advancing it to better their commercial interests rather than the interests of individuals using the 'net.
>>Companies do not have a financial inventive to consciously cripple their very highly paid, very difficult to hire developers' productivity.

I highly doubt that:

a) most companies have done studies to measure correlations between office plan types and developer productivity

b) they even know how to measure developer productivity accurately

On the other hand, they can easily measure headcount per square foot. It's a simple division that even the stupidest executive can perform. The other stuff is just hand-waved away.
That's not really true. You can look at developer velocity and bug fix rates, to name a couple of readily available metrics. It would not be some big mystery if open plan was killing productivity.

Also, it does not explain why a "beancounter" mindset about office space would be paired with lavish expenses on free lunches and other de rigueur amenities in said offices, as is typical of open plan startups. Conclusion: it's not a beancounter mentality that drives the decision.

I doubt that somebody's else mind (the program) would run well on my brain (the hw) and viceversa. Mind/brain are probably more like the first computers, programmable by manually reconfiguring their hardware. So, more like FPGA than general purpose CPUs. Interestingly we're moving in the direction of blurring the difference between hw and sw. Example: all the stuff that Apple is moving in custom made processors on their phones that once was run by the main CPU.
