To expand my point, we had a really tight wedding budget but still wanted to have friends and family. We had our reception in the Church's Fellowship Hall, not some fancy venue that cost 10x more. My wife and I had to make some hard decisions (harder for her than me, I could have gone much cheaper), but in the end we stuck with the plan. Are more expensive designer cakes worth the money, absolutely! And the pastry chefs who make them are worth their wages. We met with one of the local bakeries that won on Buddy the Cake Boss. But! We didn't have the money. No amount of wishing could make us have the money at the time. We loved our wedding cake from grocery store bakery. It was yummy with good icing and our guests said nice things. Maybe its just because you always say nice things at weddings.

In software, startups can be the same way. Do they need the super scalable, secure, best in breed software? Sure! That'd be great. But sometimes you just have to get out the door now and do improvements later.

My wife and I are just as married as we would be if we had an expensive cake. There are startups in business because they started with what they could afford and then got traction.

It's arguable whether the electoral college works as intended. But it would still exist under NPV, so whatever protections it provides us now, it would continue to provide, so this is not reasonable grounds for opposing the NPV proposal.
"The cloud" still has to run the models on something, and as long as Intel roughly keeps up with the cost of specialised hardware for doing inference, many people will just keep doing inference on Intel CPUs, rather than bothering with specialised hardware.

It's worth pointing out that the conventional formula for N choose K has a "story proof" as well, and it helps introductory students who can't necessarily keep straight whether, in these groups, order matters.

"There are N people in a room. Place a line of tape across the room dividing it into two halves; we'll say this tape goes North-South. Now ask K of them (politely, but also uniformly-at-random) to be on the East side of the tape and the N-K remainder are on the West side of the tape. We know from the definition that there are N choose K ways to do this.

"Now we ask the people on the East side to stand along the East wall and the people on the West side to stand along the West wall; along the way we will have to choose among the K! and (N-K)! different orderings for each set. So we have a uniform distribution of these people chosen from K! (N-K)! (N choose K) different possibilities.

"Now kindly ask them to walk in the order they're in to the North wall, but to remain on their side of the tape. You suddenly see that this result must be the same as simply asking the N people to line up uniformly-at-random along the North wall and you then place a piece of tape that divides them into the two groups. Every possibility in the one story comes from exactly one configuration in the other story and vice versa, therefore N! = (N choose K) K! (N - K)! no matter what N or K were."
Any technique that produces these results will be made illegal, unless you're in a position already to keep it from being so.
2 more things:

1. this isn't really printing, its subtracting. I think its important to make this distinction.

2. feed rate is REALLY important with getting good tool life as well as good cut quality. Relying on gravity to control a 1-2 HP router is not going to counter the cut forces well except at seriously sub-optimal cut rates.

e.g. A carbide 2 flute upcut end mill with .5" diameter cutting plywood works nicely with a cut depth of about .5" and a feed rate of somewhere around 200-300 inches per minute. Even that may not yield the optimal chip load to keep the bit cool. That assumes a router speed of ~20k RPMs and 3.25 peak HP (AC motor @ 110v).
> It has a very poor business model, security issues and the storage for the price just doesn't add up. Google Drive or iCloud are far easier to set up, cheaper, and has oodles more space.

That's three major questions begged in a single sentence, followed by 3 more in the next. Perhaps if you tried to back up each of those claims, you'd have an easier time understanding.

“Poor business model” would be the first place to start since Dropbox has ton of users and they tend to be loyal: learning why would tell you whether you're making the right comparisons.

“Security” is a judgement call but it's certainly not true that this is accepted conventional wisdom. Sure, there's the occasional hyperbolic blog post which makes the rounds before someone looks into the details and debunks the conspiracy theories but Apple and Google certainly get those, too.

Continuing the trend, the pricing also does not support your claims:

Google:

1TB = $9.99/mo
(https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375123?hl=en)

Dropbox:

1TB = $9.99/mo
(https://www.dropbox.com/plans)

Apple:

1TB = $9.99/mo
(https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201238)

Even if the pricing wasn't the same for all three services, that's a relatively small amount of money to pay for a service which many people rely on heavily and you couldn't say anything meaningful about pricing without talking about the different features. If you valued a particular feature or related service (e.g. Google Photos, Dropbox's cross-platform support & integration with a wide range of mobile apps, etc.) many people will consider it worth paying a small amount more per month to get their favorite choice – we're talking numbers well under what many people spend at Starbucks in the same time-period, after all.

One point in particular you should think about is the reason why I've heard so many non-IT people favor Dropbox: it's easy to setup, syncs reliably (as opposed to iCloud's same-week synchronization), and they always have a full copy of their data on every computer. It's really easy to forget how much people value the idea that they will never be in the case where a network error or billing screwup prevents them from accessing their files. That doesn't have to be a common event for people to want to avoid it.

Dealing with limited resources such as MySQL and Redis is a problem you still have to fix when you move away from PHP though.

As for the Facebook runtime, for us it was a case of drop in HHVM, fix a handful of issues and get a 4x or 6x speed increase for free. You only need to change the way you write if you move to Hack, but I think I agree with you that's probably getting to the limit of the effort reward tradeoff before you rewrite in a different language.

As a Utah resident, I'm hearing a lukewarm responses from my Davis county friends. Oddly, many of my Evangelical friends in Florida are on fire to vote for this guy.

The "that may be classified" thing was pretty obviously a slip-up on minor information (number of centrifuges; the other information was publicly known), which is why he made that statement after the fact. He wasn't intentionally sharing classified information, and Church leaders weren't shown asking for it. I assume we'd see those kinds of slip-ups reasonably often if we recorded and played back all of the private conversations of reps.

Americanizing Iraq was the underlying subtext and principle during the invasion discussion. I know there was the superficial justification of WMD, but Republicans often spoke of things like "bring them democracy" and "bring them freedom", i.e., teach them the American way. For most of the people that supported the invasion whom I talked to around that time, this was the salient point and driver of their interest, not the potential possession of WMD.

Smith doesn't say that missionary work is the sole reason he voted for the war, but I'm sure it was an important and desirable side effect for him, and he discusses that. Most religious people would say the opportunity to spread their religion to new people is desirable. That's why missionary programs exist (Mormons are neither the first nor the only religion with a missionary program).

Smith was certainly laying it on thick, no one can doubt that. I would guess that politicians are wont to do so. The Quorum of the Twelve, the body to whom Smith is presenting in the video, is the second-highest body in the Church and it's a big deal to talk to them. Thus, while his presentation was annoying, it wasn't improper in a substantial way. Accidentally disclosing a minor possibly-but-not-definitely piece of confidential information is the only infraction here.

All the big analytics/ad tech/ESP players are trying to own this space, and unfortunately none of them do it very well because it is largely bolt-ons of various products cobbled together into a frankenstein "marketing cloud" that they can then charge ridiculous enterprise services fees to setup and maintain, and has tons of vendor lock-in (the real long-term play).

Personally, while there are advantages to consolidating in some cases (the DoubleClick search/display stack works well for many as one example), I worry that many of these companies are losing focus on their core competency as a result.
Pro tip - first thing when you start a PHP project:

- move all superglobals to your private vars

- only allow access to these vars through your special functions which REQUIRE from programmer to specify type and validation / sanitization (regex for strings, min/max for numbers,...)

Make it difficult for programmers to use unsanitized vars and you will have much more secure code.

Not sure why no frameworks (that I know of) do this, but fortunately it is easy to add this.

>I still can't get past the feeling that this is another Moller Aircar type project. Something to string investors along forever while you bilk them out of money.

i wonder why such animosity toward Moller. His approach on the last incarnation of the car has some technical mistakes which made it a dead end, yet looking into his history and the overall history of VTOL i wonder how people may see that as a scam. It is pretty obvious today that we will have human carrying 8/12/16-copters in the next few years (we actually already have them as actually flying prototypes today) and that is pretty much where Moller was in 198x-199x just adjusting for the non-availability of modern hardware and electronics back then (so he went for complicated double-engine-same-shaft design with minimum of controlling electronics - the approach which doomed the last incarnation. I do fail to see a scam here.)
Nazi chic
I read what he was saying differently. When errors like this occur it's very much worth evaluating what could be done to avoid it in the future beside me just learning my lesson. There are many general team behaviors (e.g. Automated functional testing, automated load testing, static analysis, code reviews, non-production environments, etc.) and things specific for the problem at hand (what test is missing that would have caught this?) that must be considered after a major issue. If these aren't evaluated then there it is likely they will happen again. I don't believe these are being treated like a child. Instead these are the team deciding to be adults by avoiding emergencies and being more confident when releasing.
I like figuring out how to look at a sentence how others do (like those images that can be viewed two ways). But I'm having trouble with this one. Amazon devs being generally bad would not be suitable for use as a defense ("in my defense") for his behavior. I think it would require the assumption that he thinks that Amazon devs are generally bad as well as the assumption that he thinks that laughing at them is something that's generally permissible.

To complete this list (and also follow up to your hoped-for "escape from the simulation" /g) the Qur'an explicitly says that "this life is an illusion and a pastime" and in the Sura of the Jinn, we are informed by these non-Human sentient beings that they have been trying for a very long time to escape but have always been frustrated in their attempts.

Regarding Buddhism, in the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha, to the apparent dismay of a few thousand attendees -- they get up and leave! -- informs that the Three Vehicles are merely devices to reach various levels of understanding, and that this world ("a burning old house") was an attraction that attracted his children but unfortunately they got caught up in the illusion and now need enticements (the Three Vehicles) to rescue them from the burning old house.

They have lobbied hard to keep FOH staff wages down (up to 3x less than ROH) supplemented by tipping.

The driving force for this is that your wage bill is not as strongly correlated with demand - no customers means no tips so your FOH staff pay the price for your poor management.

I'm curious what we do when we "solve" (hmmm...) the trolley problem and continue to build autonomous machines that take this "problem" into account, however, a machine malfunctions, or is placed in a situation that it could not execute the prescribed outcome for the problem (if that makes sense). Where then do we place the blame?
If he was doing business in on a London exchange then you would be right. He decided to do business on a US exchange so US laws end up applying.

They do? For quite a while now, MS has referred to pre-release versions of Visual Studio by incremented version number and post-release versions by year released.
Oh, these are entirely different approaches. New instructions are something I can use immediately (well, after I get the CPU). I know how to feed data to them, I can debug them, they are predictable, my tools support them, overall — I can make good use of them from day one.

As for FPGAs, anybody who actually used one, especially for more than a toy problem, will tell you that the experience is nowhere near that. Plus, at the moment, we are comparing a solution that could possibly perhaps materialise with something that will simply appear as part of the next CPU.

iCloud is close to useless if you need platform-agnostic storage. I only use it for iOS backups and of course the apps that sync their data via iCloud. Does the service even offer a file browser?

Whenever I deal with data I want to access on a file level and not through apps, like documents, photos, etc. I use Dropbox. And since I have to backup my music library (500 GB) somewhere anyway, I'll gladly use Dropbox Pro tier. Yes, I could save 3 bucks by using Amazon Cloud Drive or other services, but Dropbox' user experience and thoughtful design is second to none.
It's NYC, not Houston. :-) Some considerations:

* The city's already very densely populated, increasing the density comes at the price of having to ensure the infrastructure can handle it. The most obvious is the creaking subway system, which has gotten hella overcrowded in the last few years, but you also have other infra that needs to go along with it (the type where you tear up the street and fix layers of piping, cabling, and all the rest)

* The 'not Houston' comment is partly snarky, partly to make the point that what makes New York City what it is, or Paris or London what they are, is their character and that's partially zoning and building code. I suppose you could raze all the brownstones in Brooklyn Heights and build mega apartments, but do we really want to do that?

* Politically, changing zoning is hard. Density is pushed back on by the local neighborhood. Next you have affordable housing advocates that push back against zoning, in fact in places like Bushwick, even if you include 25-30% affordable housing in a new development, you still have picketing, protests and loudspeakers. In Williamsburg, under Bloomberg there was massive rezoning that lead to the neighborhood essentially turning into an extension of Manhattan. Partly this involved rezoning light manufacturing, and allowing building by the riverfront. That said, affordable housing advocates and people in that camp decry Williamsburg as a great tragedy because the rents went up for the poorer people that were there before.

* Finally, after all I said they ARE building more housing. But they can't build housing faster than the people are moving here and also the people are making babies. People have a tendency to multiply, and the economy here has been pretty stable. 8M residents in 2000 compared to 8.5M today. The demand fills faster than the supply can keep up.
