The reality, as someone who has lived in all three of those cities, is that pedestrians are adept at making cars navigate them, because they can. It's not that crosswalks (which are ubiquitous in those cities) are somehow burdensome, they just have shit to do and know that drivers don't want to hit them.

These are the same people who just walk into the street without even looking, while on their cell phones.
From the article:

"The FBI in open revolt against a deceitful director."

James Comey presides over an FBI in revolt over his leadership, a former U.S. attorney tells The American Spectator, and pursues “paranoid, delusional, and vindictive” measures to prevent negative information leaking out to the public.

“I know that inside the FBI there is a revolt,” Joseph diGenova tells The American Spectator. “There is a revolt against the director. The people inside the bureau believe the director is a dirty cop. They believe that he threw the [Hillary Clinton email] case. They do not know what he was promised in return. But the people inside the bureau who were involved in the case and who knew about the case are talking to former FBI people expressing their disgust at the conduct of the director.”

The case for this is actually similar to how damage from vaccines are litigated. Vaccines are objectively a good thing for society. Yet, they do cause harm to a small number of people. So we have the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to handle these claims. These laws also shield the manufacturers from most liability. Now gross negligence isn't going to be covered by this and I'm sure lawyers can find other instances.

This seems like a good concept for self driving vehicles if removing humans makes injuries orders of magnitude less. It won't be perfect, so in those cases a national program for compensation and liability shielding makes sense. Then the technology and be quickly deployed and improved.
I think you're missing an important detail: human drivers speed, all the time. I live on a small residential street with a speed limit of 25 MPH, and it's not at all uncommon for drivers to take it at 35 MPH--sometimes even at 45. This situation isn't uncommon. Even if the speed limit were to increase slightly, it might still be a net improvement, especially given that robot cars may have better reaction times than human drivers.

Fivethirtyeight recently had a similar piece about how Gary Johnson could do the same via his home state of NM[0].

It's strange - Governor Johnson is polling much better overall than McMullin, and is actually on the ballot on all 50 states unlike McMullin, but McMullin works better "in the system" than Johnson. He's Republican (or republican flavored independent?) so it's less of a risk for the GOP to tacitly support him. Whereas if Johnson were to succeed at this gambit, that could be the beginning of the end for the Republican party so he won't get as much support from the GOP.

I can't help but notice your entire post focuses on click and engagement metrics without any mention of conversion metrics.

You don't mention a branding strategy, or how you plan to map branding efforts to revenue (arguably a hard problem), so my assumption would be you are most interested in seeing people signup as a result of this, and in fact you have some goal completions, but it isn't clear what those goals are.

If your LTV is several hundred dollars, and your current campaign CPA is ~$300, while likely not statistically significant at this point, that could potentially be profitable if that cohort's quality pans out. If those are just lead goals, then yeah, you might not be super successful here, but 3 conversions seems a bit on the low side to draw that conclusion.

But here's where the analysis failed to go deeper...

- Digging into conversion metrics and how people are finding you. Do you have a long sales cycle with multiple touch points? The reports you've shown all use last click attribution in a 30 day window. If you check the Conversions>>Attribution and Multi-Channel reports, you might find this was actually a big assist channel and maybe you're getting the final conversion off of Direct or Organic (or even phone calls...call tracking rocks)

- Spending $1k for less than a month when presumably you have a decently long sales cycle and relatively low volume/high LTV sales and saying your test was a failure seems like the test may not have been structured very well. That's a relatively tiny test budget and making a decision after 100 clicks seems like not the best idea (unless of course you're looking at post-impression metrics, but my guess is that isn't the case)

Overall, this comes across as a click-baity headline while the actual article seems rife with holes in terms of laying out the details of the test, what was measured and why, and a whole host of other missing information that would likely point to this test not running nearly long enough or with enough volume to draw any meaningful conclusions.

As someone who does this for a living, I kindly suggest you revisit your test assumptions, methodology, how other business metrics are factored in, and whether it is good for your brand to publicly jump to conclusions like this in a way that comes across as rather uninformed, or at the very least doesn't paint the entire picture.

That paper uses simulated (i.e., fake) market data. The quote is just a bare assertion, not a conclusion. It's very difficult to identify spoofed orders in market data unless you're the exchange and know who sent all of the orders.
Like if you have an error saying "no results for this book title", you'd have logic that sends JSON and checks that, and on the server side you'd need logic that checks the POST request and checks that (and there'd be subtle differences in the variable format between the JSON & regular HTML POST data), and then maybe the way the UI element would be displayed in JS vs in the server-side HTML is also different. I think if you try to be very fastidious about making everything work without JS you will have two code paths for many things.

Marriage is like saying "I love you so much, lets get the government involved."

Why would we want to get married after watching every marriage around us end with a nasty divorce.

Doing work that makes your library slower so that certain primitive memory checkers don't get upset doesn't seem like a good use of time to me. Especially when more sophisticated tools (Valgrind at least, probably others) can differentiate between actually leaked memory and stuff that's still reachable at program termination. Obviously there are scenarios where this is not appropriate, but it seems like a reasonable choice in many cases.

If you're targeting modern browsers you may want to look into disabling all plugins except for modules. The latest version of every major browser supports ES2015 natively (as well as much of ES2016 and ES2017). There are various Babel presets (eg. babel-preset-modern) available on NPM that do this.

Even if you're not targeting modern browsers, you might consider developing on Chrome with a very minimal, modules-only Babel config, and then running the full transform only when you're ready to QA & deploy.
But there's a difference between population shortage and looming population shortage based on sub-replacement fertility rates.

I cut my teeth using Forth for writing automated tests for storage products (pretty legacy, I'm not sure if the company uses it any more), and got hooked on it afterwards. The test system was based on a custom real time OS, and Forth was a really good fit, but it would be really hard to find developers now that understood how to work with the system. I had also bought Threaded Interperative Languages (https://www.amazon.com/Threaded-Interpretive-Languages-Desig...) and chose to roll a Forth interpreter for an 8051 dev board I had laying around, which was pretty fun, and wasn't too difficult. It's mostly just a hobby now, as I don't think there's a lot of companies out there still using Forth.

I think Forth is still useful for embedded systems, often even more so than C, especially given that it can go places that C can't. I would personally choose it for my own embedded projects, but the paradigm is sufficiently different that I would worry about finding other people who have the mental capability to write Forth that doesn't immediately devolve into something unmaintainable, or who even want to learn it in the first place. I still write little scripts with GForth sometimes too, but it's not nearly as productive as just writing some Perl or Python. If you're interested in playing with a slightly more modern concatenative language, Factor is a good choice.
I think hexagonal cities are going to require different traffic patterns. I think it would make the most sense to have cars drive in "circles" around the hexagons, and then having the left (outermost) lane available for left turning onto another hexagon. That way, it's really easy to do U-turns (just drive, uninhibited, around the hexagon) and you could build highways at varying distances that act as loops (like major metro areas already have). This sounds like an interesting problem to model computationally! I wonder what the optimal hexagon:car size ratio is? (essentially how many times longer should the side of a block be than a car)

Granted, I think that it's going to become necessary at some point to have cars and pedestrians operating on different "floors" - in major metro areas, pedestrians are already massive cluster fuckers and getting around downtown SF or NY is incredibly inefficient in an automobile (at least during the day).

I don't see any reason to assume we need to have everyone aspiring to marriage. With 7 billion people on the planet, it is not like there is some population shortage that needs to be remedied.

To me, the real question should be if this is symptomatic of larger issues.

Perhaps people aren't getting married because they don't want to. If so, eh, more power to 'em.

But if it's because of, say, a lack of economic opportunities, lack of adequate health care coverage, lack of adequate savings, excess debt, increasing inflation, etc, etc, well, those are issues that need to be dealt with, not to "save" marriage, but to ensure the economy and broader society function in a way that best benefits everyone.
Honestly at this point you just have to assume this is a nearly constant reality.
> In most places, living with someone is basically the same thing as 'marriage' from a legal perspective.

If this is a reference to common law marriage, it's not actually that widespread anymore (only in 10 states in the US). It also typically requires the couple "hold themselves out as married" in the community, which makes the bar substantially higher than just living together for a long time.

If this isn't a reference to common law marriage, I'm not sure what it is—feel free to enlighten me!
HDLs such as Verilog are fine when you keep in mind what the D stands for. They are not programming languages. They are hardware description languages. Languages used to describe hardware. In order to describe hardware, you need to picture it in your head (muxes, flops, etc.). Once you do, writing the HDL that describes that hardware is reasonably easy.

What doesn't work is using an HDL to write as if it were software. It's just not.

Nice work looks a lot fancier than what I built.

This type of plotter was quite the "thing" after one appeared at the Maker Faire (I believe in 2010), I already had an EggBot[1] from EMSL and the Eggbot board[2] is set up to control two steppers. Its really easy to use, I wrote a simple Perl library for it and put it on github [3]. The "build" was really just strapping two steppers to the corners of a stand up easel board[4], hang a pen in a disk to hold it perpendicular to the page (I believe we used a 2" hole saw to cut out the "puck" and then drilled a hole in the middle for the pen (friction fit with tape for added friction). Two screw eyes at the 10-o-clock and 2-o-clock positions on the puck, a string to a spindle stuck on the left stepper, and a string to a spindle on the right stepper. Then an all night hacking session and boom, drawing pictures :-). Its really straight forward.

Morgan Stanley Brokers Pushed Loans to Win Dinners

How do you justify that price, though? It involves a whole lot of growth that isn't really there. Google and FB are probably the only companies that could turn Twitter profitable, but probably only at a point that justifies a sale price of around $15.
Dunno why you're getting down voted. Sounds like great news to me!

Will you have a Linux client? (I'm sure that's the least favorite question new services like this get.)

I ripped Dropbox out by the roots on all of my systems some time back because of the contempt they display for their users. New, more privacy- and security-conscious services are nice (as are ones that don't break their users' machines and then go weaselly when caught). But I really want the option to use my own infrastructure for apps that want to store data somewhere remote.

Especially for file-based services, the only argument for Dropbox is "because they're big and probably already installed"[2]. I'd deeply appreciate it if these sorts of apps would add a preference-pane for scp, at least. I have no idea if the crusty-folks-like-me market is big enough to constitute a noticeable bump in app store sales or not, but I promise, given two competing apps, I'll forgive a lot of other warts in and pay more for the one that lets me own my own data.

[1] I know cloud is king, but there are a lot of us out here that want to own our own data, rather than having the cloud-overlords rent it back to us. The Omnigroup's apps are great examples of this - you can use their sync servers, but you can also (and I do) run your own WebDAV server for it. Works great, and I have paid the Omnigroup substantially more than any other single mobile app vendor for their apps.

[2] Synchronization is difficult enough in some contexts that I completely get writing something more complicated there, but then we're not talking about Dropbox or their competitors anymore.

The point of a CTO talking up one technology or talking down another has absolutely nothing to do with swaying your ideas about that technology at all.

A CTO isn't a technology evangelist for or against that technology. The role is to get the most out of whatever technology the company is using. If talking down weaknesses in one technology and talking up strengths in another helps find hires looking for the technology the company is using or shows the strength of the company in being able to address those weaknesses or take advantage of those strengths, then that's good for the company.

CCP Games is probably certain someone else can do without Stackless Python. The folks at Facebook don't care if you use PHP or Hack at some other company. Booking.com is perfectly happy for you to use Python, Java, Forth, Haskell, or whatever at your company but they sponsor Perl conferences. Those companies will continue selling their in-house stack and its advantages. They'll continue pointing out where one solution grew creaky and they improved it with something else (like Facebook and Hack). They do that because it's good for them.

There's a lot of downside if marriage goes bad, and a lot of them do. In some states, a divorce can be a sword of Damocles hanging over threatening half of anything you've ever or will have.

Just the amount of student and credit card debt a lot of people rack up before they finish their twenties is scary if you have your shit more together and are thinking of entering into a financial union.
How resilient will the Hyperloop be against terrorist attacks?

It is situated above ground. This means the tubing is exposed to all and everyone. In other words, it is vulnerable to homemade explosives which can perhaps obstruct the path the vessel transverses. Sounds far-fetched, but the lengths extremists go to can not be undermined as we have learned time and time again throughout history.

I'm no expert but since he didn't reply:

- Use of mysql_ functions (This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used)

- Using the user input directly in the query instead of binding, using prepared statements, or at the very least casting to an integer (don't do this)

- (besides mixing multiple layers) Possible whitespace problems in the output validation (if you're using JSON), you want most php code to be "validated" (like using json functions), to have proper headers, to output types correctly (like booleans). This is also why you should never use PHP's closing tag, except for things like pure PHP templating, it's even in the PSR-2:

> The closing ?> tag MUST be omitted from files containing only PHP.

Not really the case here but you get the idea. It's like you're using a "html view" to output JSON API stuff.

- Possible "Undefined index", or worse, at $ar["name"], $ar["location"]

- Having to write some ugly conditionals if you have more than a single result and need to end the sequence without a comma or do any kind of transformation

- Trying to save vertical space by using expressions in the same line, sacrificing readability

- No error handling. What if the DB connection fails?

- Output is not valid JSON
