A 40 seater is only slightly bigger than say, a Dassault Falcon. Dassault has been building supersonic jets for 60 years; they certainly know how to build a supersonic private jet, but they never actually tried it. Apparently, there are no suitable engines available (tough problem). And is there a market?
The real issue is that you can't solve the original problem upfront. You have to work your way acquiring new tools, capabilities, ideas... And it is easy to get lost in the woods.

Which reminds me of http://imgur.com/gallery/t0XHtgJ

As a side note I think most of the problems don't have a unique solution, but have a set of solutions that lessen that problem to some degree. Some people tend to get lost finding the perfect solution for which they need perfect tools that don't exist.
Ads for affiliate products corresponding to the event could work, e.g. high quality (cannot stress this enough!) products from Amazon. Say, for paintball meetups it would be accessories/clothing/etc... This creates a win-win-win situation - the visitor gets a recommendation for a high quality product that is relevant and they may be interested in, you get a 4 or 8% from each sale, and the amazon seller gets to make a sale.

I'm an XCode user myself, but I know people who swear by AppCode by Jetbrains. I tried it in the past for Objective-C and if their support for Swift is as good, it should be a decent alternative.
They sound like amazing guys to work with. I'm sending you an email.
Seconded. It was like being psychic - the code just appeared on the screen. Amazingly fast and productive.

Before that (way before), telnet and ftp. Being able to deliver a new executable to personnel at a trade show floor from 500 miles away was mind-blowing in the early 90s...
> Another altcoin. This one has a 10% pre-mining cut for the founders

The way the "10%" is done is that it's really 20% for the first 4 years then 0%. Given the past history of premined altcoins I wouldn't weigh the odds that this specific system really lasting more than 4 years out especially high.

> What would you forecast the expected effects of you trying LSD or cocaine would be?

For me? Probably not much. But who knows, maybe I'll try it the first time, nothing happens. 10 years later I fall on hard times and then I try it again to try and deal with my situation, this time become addicted, and then make my problems an order of magnitude worse.

That's how alcoholism generally works.
Apples and oranges. Drug use is a personal choice and the government has already indicated they're ok with people killing themselves with alcohol and tobacco.

I'm offended by your reasoning and lack of insight into the overall societal cost of having certain temptations kept out of your reach. This not just about getting high, it's about the crime, corruption and death that comes from this madness.

I'm guessing you are a relatively intelligent person - try thins thought experiment: Do you drink alcohol? Can you control your intake? Know anybody who does? Know anybody who is an alcoholic? Do you accept that most people who use it can enjoy it but there are some unfortunates who can't and that's just the price of the freedom to drink?

Now replace the word "alcohol" with "drugs". Because guess what? Alcohol is a drug too, except it's socially acceptable.

I'm not trying to be an asshole, but your original premise comes off as "sure, other people may be fucked by the system now, but it works pretty ok by me so I see no need to change it"
Same, I always try to do carry-on only. TSA PreCheck helps, but the boarding process is still so inefficient. If I ran an airline, there would be a mandatory class with a test on boarding and unloading efficiently. It really bugs me how almost no one puts their bag up in the Corey orientation (they put it in with the wide side down instead of vertically, so one less bag per compartment fits). People also tend to stuff all their non-carry on stuff into the bins, which further reduces space.

Airlines are partially to blame for this behavior as well, since they rarely enforce it or even give much guidance. People also walk very slowly into the plane, struggle to lift their stuff, then realize they need something out of the pocket so they hold up everyone while they get it. I also never understood why both doors aren't used for boarding and the planes boarded middle-first.

I bet I could get the boarding time down to about 40% of what it is right now with my suggested changes. In the security lines, there are too few lanes open and too few helpers. If I opt out of the idiot scanner, it adds at least 10 minutes, sometimes 30. I've had many TSA people be incredibly rude to me when I've opted out, one yelling at me for putting my carry on in front of another person's on the undriven, too-short conveyor belt after the same person had previously instructed me to remove my bag from the belt when I informed them I was opt-out (every other time I've flown, they make you wait like an idiot while your bag and the contents of your pockets sit on the other side of the conveyor, free for anyone else to take).

The security theatre on display is also infuriating. If one wanted to, travel with someone and have them not opt out, but grab your carry-on from the other side of the scanner while you wait for them to even call for someone to think about coming over to check the elastic in your underwear for a wine opener, which if they didn't confiscate, would have obviously been used to initialize the downfall of western civilization. Meanwhile, the random checks with guns in their pants get through the blow-hard machine all the time: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2015/06/01/poli...

I was irked that you were downvoted, hopefully my upvote bring you out of the gray.

You make solid points, I don't disagree with you entirely. I do want to clarify: my point of view is not based on a sense of moral fairness. War is probably always going to be unfair, otherwise it's an even match and even more pointless. If I were for fairness I'd want the war to be local and not just in other countries, but I don't want that.

What I want is for it to end. The ability to cover up the human costs by distance from the front, distance from the people fighting (on either side), means it's too easy for us to allow it to continue. I don't want US men and women in harm's way. I want them out of harm's way, and for us to stop killing people who (mostly) just want to live their lives. Some level of military action will probably be necessary somewhere in the world, as entangled as we are, at any given time. But going to more automated and unmanned systems allows us to continue to be far more violent than circumstances actually require, with little cost to the elected and appointed officials directing this violence in our name.

His point is probably more concerned with hardware-accelerated machine learning and the like. Much like eg. OpenCL for machine learning.
Obvious. There was, during the dot-com bubble, a startup that said "our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" when all their customers really wanted was to buy the top position on their search engine like one would do with an AOL keywords. You never heard about this example cause generalization just killed them. /s

No, it's 20% of the first 4 years' reward, which is equal to 10% of all time's reward.
In this lecture, based on his new book, Roger will argue that fashion, faith, and fantasy, while sometimes productive and even essential, may be leading today's researchers astray, most notably in three of science's most important areas - string theory, quantum mechanics, and cosmology.
Lots of things alter your subjective reality: reading (books, news, Reddit), watching TV and movies, imagination, travel, drugs, art, music, meditation, diversity, etc. The reasons for why people seek them out are just as varied. Not sure why chemical substances used moderately and responsibly get a bad rap...
I've flipped-flopped back and forth several times over the last 15 years on the question of server-side vs. client-side view logic. I literally start each new project with a new technical review and evaluation of this question.

I'd have flipped permanently to client-side if the quality and consistency of the JS stacks were of the same quality as the server-side stacks (I use ASP.NET MVC). I know that it has been a rapidly evolving thing and hence the churn. But here's the thing - with software I've come to prefer intelligent design over Darwinian evolution. On the server-side we have intelligent design; on the client we have evolution. On the server, we have stability and a roadmap. On the client we don't.

With that said, painting pages on the server to send down to the client just doesn't smell right anymore.
I guess it doesn't say much for their confidence in angular 2 that they don't actually use it for anything.

It's 80% for the first four years then all after.

The fact that this isn't completely clear to people is another reason to be skeptical.

From what I've read online, the only positive reviews are from the tech blog reviewers who got them for free. Us common folk on forums took one look at that price and that uninspired design and said forget it. I'd rather have a OnePlus 3 for less than half the cost. A reskinning of Voice Search and a nice camera for nearly $950? please...
I'm guessing the people referred to here are the ones with grossly-oversized carry on items and the type of people who bring two carry-ons which don't fit under the seats, then try to stuff them both into the bins for a few minutes before making a scene with a flight attendant who insists they gate-check one (which, IMO, shouldn't be a free service, to discourage this type of thing).
I'm not associated with the company but find this concept interesting. From the website:

The mechanical crank drive system for bicycles was invented around 150 years ago and has hardly been improved since. We took the drive system further and developed the cyfly Easy Cycling Technology

Kind of funny (but not that surprising) is that there seems to be an automotive company involved in the research.
Yeah. The "assume good faith" policy in particular has always been a favourite weapon of skilled edit warriors and flamers, for obvious reasons.
Swift was influenced by Scala, so that's no surprise.

I agree that true neutrality is likely impossible. For starters, Wikipedia is only as biased as its sources and like you said "media and academic scholarship". It's this attribute that lets us readily say that vaccines don't cause autism, but that will also prevent it from assimilating new breakthroughs or ideas until they are readily accepted. (In other words, Wikipedia is not The Truth) FUTON bias is a problem in a lot of areas [0] but there are tons of articles that use offline sources. As for your last point, you might find this essay [1]
interesting in that we often assume too much to be a given, and Wikipedia definitely suffers from an anglophone bias, but that's why multilingual editors are important to bring those sources to the fore. Fringe theories [2] are an interesting subject that I think should be discussed more, but I do find the current approach sensible. Thanks for the interesting counterpoints.

Hard to put a finger on it but it lacks a certain "playfulness" which real-world languages have.

It's like the difference between Lojban/Esperanto (artificially constructed spoken languages) and English/Spanish. English/Spanish are "imperfect" but their warts are the results of thousands of years of culture (and may not be imperfections after all, they may be a case of some kind of coding theory emerging organically)

Often because they have problem X and want a solution to it, and they think (sometimes correctly) that other people also have problem X and will want their solution.
Apart from the lack of the Escape and function keys, I'm kinda bothered about the keyboard. It seems the MacBook Pro has the butterfly keys. I really hoped they won't use the butterfly keys on the MBP.

It's been really great, and reporting issues and small pull requests has been super easy so far. Not really what I expected from a company like walmart so I was pleasantly surprised.

The only fundamental disagreement I have with it is how the "client" folder is organized by default. I think it's a mistake to organize by the type of file (component, reducers, etc). Instead, the organization should be centered around the real use (pages, resources, etc.) Explained in more detail here, https://medium.com/@alexmngn/how-to-better-organize-your-rea...

I understand that's personal preference, and my preference is born out of seeing more than one react app become a tangled mess because isolation was hard to understand based upon file structure.
Yes, I see your point. Thanks for the clarification.

The only way I could foresee a cryptocurrency where, by its nature, the early adopters would not have a significant amount of money in the eventual economy, is to make the rate of money generation grow with participation and / or transaction rates. The former is effectively impossible to judge, unless you use the block difficulty as a measure of popularity, and the later seems like it doesn't accurately reflect the market cap - coins like doge had much higher velocities than btc at unique times despite being a fraction the size.

The other option might be a blockchain that doesn't do time based payouts but does volume based payouts. Rather than having blocks issued on fixed intervals you could have them dynamically issued and computed based on the previous blocks time to reach a calculated size threshold to hash. Unless you were psychic and could guarantee your coin would take off, investing the electricity to generate bogus volume would be a tremendous gamble in resources to try to beat the market.
Expat divers tend to be pretty cool too.
I thought you were talking about the implementation. My bad.
>Why should they try to do that on snow/ice covered roads?

Because, "Over 70 percent of the nation's roads are located in snowy regions, which receive more than five inches (or 13 cm) average snowfall annually. Nearly 70 percent of the U.S. population lives in these snowy regions." (http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/weather/weather_events/snow_ice....)

If they're able to nail down "the easy stuff" that's all well and good, but it sounds to me like most of the country is only going to benefit from the current technology indirectly (maybe a third of the supply chain will be automatically driven). But this "in a few years nobody will own a car because we'll just rent from fleets that will come right to your doorstep!" thing I hear a lot still feels like a pipedream to those of us who are currently prepping for 6 months below freezing.

Who knows, maybe global warming will take care of this problem for us?
Thanks for your nice comment! :)

There's lots of elements at work here but essentially the business model is:

a) Always be ethical, open source and build using grants etc to expand Umbrella's feature set, languages, content etc etc.

b) Diversify by building customisations and white-label versions of the app for large NGO's, various international organisations and commercial businesses. We've already had a lot of interest in this. In that context we are a bit less about the app as a learning tool and more about the security management features which don't exist anywhere else (commercially or open source).

c) Expand on the training and consulting stuff, which at present is going quite well but is pretty hard to scale extensively as it's very person intensive.
It is absurdly common. People have a big idea, and then set out to build the idea. They make two errors: products are not businesses, and the product you to make is often not the product people need.

This is part of why the Lean Startup approach caused so much of an uproar. It has a lot of clear techniques for learning what actual customers want, and insists that people establish fast feedback loops with the real world.

That's especially important in hype-ish areas where people pursue investment. People often sell the idea. That isn't always bad, but it's easy to focus on the idea alone.
No not still using it. I use C or q (as in kdb+) when I want speed and expressiveness. Python if I want quick easy prototypes.

If you think Haskell is a weird language that challenges what you think about programming, it's nothing compared to q! :)

One thing that is never explained in these universal/isomorphic react frameworks/boilerplates is how to make a fetch() against your own server (e.g. a relative route). There's this https://zeit.co/blog/next#data-fetching-is-up-to-the-develop...

But what if my component looks like this:

import React from 'react'
export class exports React.Component {
static async getInitialProps () {
const res = await fetch('/api/user/123')
const data = await res.json()
return { username: data.profile.username }
}
}
I don't think it's 10x slower but it's definitely slower. If you have lots of "complicated" type inferencing the compiler does have problems:

How is the memory management? That was always the downside of objective-c. Does it allow aliasing memory?

If not, I don't see a huge amount that it actually improved over C++. Why should I use swift for server stuff over c++/go/rust?
I've seen people try to recreate Erlang/OTP in Java. See OpenCloud Rhino. They never really get there. It's kind of sad to watch.

I mean, it's useful if you absolutely have to use Java, but it's expensive and a pale imitation of Erlang/OTP. I'm confident that it will remain so until it dies.
No idea, but Overgrive feels as fast on Linux as the Google Drive client on OS X does for me. Its also 5x cheaper, although the site is decidedly less professional (which actually comforts me in a strange way because that means its probably made by a Linux geek who cares jack shit about fancy UI = good core code)
