> On average, guests paid $220 a night for a hotel room in 2015 before VAT, while Airbnb hosts received $142, according to the Hotelschool report, which was calculated in dollars. After taking account of hotel room VAT and Airbnb fees (assuming a 10 per cent guest fee and a 3 per cent host fee, plus VAT) the prices were $264 for the hotel room and $164 for Airbnb.

The overhead is so small that it's basically irrelevant if you are not youtube or netflix. If you have a performance problem with https then either you have a flaw in your software or some serious configuration mistake.

In practice in many situations you can even get better performance with HTTPS, because many modern features (for performance notably HTTP/2 and Brotli) aren't available over plain HTTP.
Relatively minor compared to the industrial revolution, maybe. But it's certainly not minor if you look at the change in world population when Sumeria began.

Notes on Programming in C (Rob Pike)
Clean tech tries again, retooling nature for industrial use
We need both, to reduce the total number of people AND to reduce the per capita consumption.

I have seen more than enough people that claim to have no children for the sake of the Environment, only to go and buy pets and treat those like children; retarded children that will never learn to speak, walk in 2 feet, or become productive members of society, demanding constant attention for their natural lifespan, and which will age rapidly and die in their teens, - and have valuable medical resources expended in heroic efforts to futily prolongue their agony for weeks/months. You could claim that the pet dies early and does not produce offspring, but then the pet owner will likely mourn for a few weeks and then go to the pet store and start all over again.
HTTP/2 significantly reduces the issue of repeated handshakes. See: https://www.httpvshttps.com/

Obviously, that site is picking a specific case to make a point, but the point is significant.
"In January this year (2010), Gmail switched to using HTTPS for everything by default. Previously it had been introduced as an option, but now all of our users use HTTPS to secure their email between their browsers and Google, all the time. In order to do this we had to deploy no additional machines and no special hardware. On our production frontend machines, SSL/TLS accounts for less than 1% of the CPU load, less than 10KB of memory per connection and less than 2% of network overhead. Many people believe that SSL takes a lot of CPU time and we hope the above numbers (public for the first time) will help to dispel that."

https://www.imperialviolet.org/2010/06/25/overclocking-ssl.h...
Well, that is a nasty thing to say, but my whole point was that a single person's reduced consumption doesn't help as much in the grand scheme of things just because of exponential growth.
Which CRM Should My Nonprofit Use?
This is a straw man. The issue is with scaling the luxury of meat. If we really want to we can produce meat cheaply (as we are doing now). However this is the reason we are in this situation.

> I struggle to imagine how the world would be spared demise by invading Tibet and prohibiting the use of yak butter; or banning the cultivation of fish and their superior waste as fertilizer; or exterminating the last remaining nomadic tribe of Africa through prohibiting their practice of non-fatally bleeding their animals for sustenance.

We can talk about invasions in a couple of years. For now, we can be content with reducing meat consumption in our respective home countries. Let's start with getting rid of meat subsidies. Then we can move on to dealing with industrial meat production. Etc etc.

> i.e not all dietary classes are equal and a vast disparity of options may exist between individuals, groups, etc, therefore dietary practices may be circumstantial

Like a third of India is at least vegetarian. Somehow they manage to get by.
Exactly.

Whilst human population can't continue to grow on this planet indefinitely, there's plenty that can be done to push our societies in a direction that works with nature. That should be our focus.

To give one example of how working with nature benefits us all, check out this talk by William McDonough:

Heh. I think static-site-gens are the new "PHP/ASP CMS": as in, every small-time coder writes their own from scratch now ;D

v0 "works" already, it's just stupidly inefficient and too messy code to properly refactor (vs rewrite from scratch)..
16GB RAM is fine for consumer devices (mostly), but hilariously small for scale/hyperscale environments.
Are you using proper forwards from your old HTTP to your new HTTPS URLs? Wired also took a seo hit and this was probably their problem.

If you use permanent forwarding (HTTP 301) then you should be fine.

Creative works is arguably all just "remixing" what already exists.

... In which case nobody alive truly owns anything which isn't just a derative work of what the estate of some ancient Greek's estate would already own, thus you'd owe them royalties for everything you do with "your own" works.

It is also by nature non-rivalrous, this no need for defending it to be able to use it for yourself.

It is proven over and over that sharing and collaborating results in better outcomes for everybody, and thus there's no strong argument based on "benefit of the author" in favor of it.

There's also no obvious definition of what the limit is for WHEN you've created something novel, thus nobody can ever actually really know if they truly have something they actually own or not.
If you're using Mailchimp to handle a list of 10 million users you're definitely doing it wrong. You need a tool that charges by number of emails sent instead of size of list.

These days I'd suggest buying an in-house email tool and use an SMTP server (SendGrid, Mandrill, SES, Mailgun). Pricing will obviously be more expensive but it increases much more slowly than with Facebook. To send 10 million emails on SendGrid would cost around $5K. Depending on the terms, that kind of budget would cover somewhere between 50 and 50000 users with Facebook or AdWords.
Most importantly, isoflavones does not have any effect on male sex hormones. That means no effect on your workout, no effect on your drive, and no effect on your reproductive health.

Or at least, no plausible reason for an effect on those things.
Hotels are heavily taxed because tourists and business travellers can't vote. In many cases cities like London and NYC are non-fungible goods, so if you want to go there you just have to pay the taxes. If they ever get high enough that hotels can't book rooms, the businesses should lobby the government to lower them.
I would call this the pathophysiology of burnout. I have lots of personal experience of this.
> Blindness to ergodicity which we will define a few paragraphs down, is indeed in my opinion the best marker separating a genuine scholar who understands something about the world, from an academic hack who partakes of a ritualistic paper writing.

Self aggrandizing much?
Suggesting a 'Meatless Monday' (which is the campaign) or that one or two days without meat to reduce your consumption is not imposing your view.

It's actually quite the opposite, it is a compromise that understands that you and many other people do enjoy meat and do not want to give it up completely while still reducing the total consumption across the whole population.
There are well-known strategies for breaking cartels doing price-cutting. e.g. Dow chemical (https://fee.org/articles/herbert-dow-and-predatory-pricing/)

Although repackaging chemicals is probably easier then reselling DRAM as I assume there are IP rights involved.

I don't have a reference but when I was learning iPhone development back in 2009, I read somewhere that it's best to learn things in the morning (when you wake up) because your mind is best at absorbing new things. I tried it out and it seemed to improve the pace I was retaining things.
Alright, thanks for getting back to me though!
> it is so important to oppose them in their early stages

Meh. This is one city and not a particularly conservative one. If a change needs to be made in five or ten years, they will make it. There's a decent chance the regulations will have a net positive effect so run the experiment and lets see what happens.
My wife and I are quite happy in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I think I could probably stay here for 10 years.

The cost of living is very low, and the climate is pretty nice all year. There's a lot of good restaurants and cafes, and lots of variety. You can find some pretty good Mexican, Indian, Italian, Japanese, etc. There's a lot of 24 hour coworking spaces and cafes to work from, and it's always very safe to walk home at 3am. The crime rate is very low. There's also a lot of meetups and things to do. There's a lot of cinemas with movies in English (and Thai subtitles). There's bowling, ice skating, archery, paintball, and lots of parks and hiking trails.

Major downsides are the "burning season" which lasts for a few months every year, when the air is full of smoke. Also, the traffic is pretty dangerous. It's nowhere near as bad as India, Cambodia, or Vietnam, but it's pretty bad. Another downside is the lack of live music, theater, etc. You have to go to Bangkok to see any international bands, and they don't come very often.

If visas and money weren't an issue, I have a big list of places that I would like to explore before moving somewhere long-term. Examples: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Andorra, Austria, Sweden, Estonia, Dunedin (NZ), Arrowtown (NZ), New Haven (CT), San Luis Obispo (CA), Portland (OR), or Denver (CO). Maybe New York.
No one criticizes openPGP on the crypto point of view.

It is the UX/UI experience that anger people to the highest point. Noobs like long time users.

Correct key handling (signing, revoking, publishing and sometimes doing actually the job) is a burden.

Nothing is wrong with the code so far. Much more whatever correct the software is, it is a pain.

My guess, is that true correct cryptography requires this burden whatever the algorithms are because ensuring identity are trustable is where the more work is, and no software can do it.
Yes, truly up is down, black is white, inside is out and outside is in.

Down with the tyranny of knowledge and verifiable facts.
Ahh right. Cool. Lets hook up at one point. My email is in my details.

Say what you will, but Apple does make the best PC hardware. I used to run Linux (Mint) off of the 2013 MacBook Air. Now running Ubuntu on 2014 13" MBP. If you want a great Linux laptop, go to Ebay and get a used 13" or 15" inch MBP or Air and put a Linux on it. About everything will be better than with plasticy alternatives with inferior trackpads and mouse buttons.

Some sort of matrix of what Apple HW will work with Linux is found from here: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Apple (but do your own research too)
>"you and all your offsprings have two kids"

Two kids per couple isn't enough to cause population growth.

Two parents having two kids leads to the exact same number of people on the planet after the parents die.

We only see population growth with 3+ kids per couple, and that's becoming increasingly uncommon in developed countries.
I looked through the source code and saw string concatenation to set the active texture unit among many other inefficiencies. Everything does isReady() checks multiple times per frame (rather than creating it only once its ready). The material parameters are indexed in the worst possible way. The stats gathering code is still active in release. The list goes on and on :)

Some caches are even implemented with bugs. Half the code use a cache in a certain way and the other half in a different way. That was fun to dig into.

I tried to optimize Babylon for a few days at work before giving up - my general rule of thumb is that if I'm about to refactor more than 20% of a codebase its much, much faster to rewrite it if I'm already familiar with the problem space. Took about two weeks to write a proprietary renderer running circles around Babylon - but only supported static meshes.

Babylon was useful to prototype but the mobile performances aren't there, even after days of profiling and optimizing every slow path it was still an order of magnitude slower than an in-house renderer designed for performance from the ground up.

Well, Geoff Hinton is on record saying that the reason ANNs are working now, where they didn't in the past is more to do with having more data and bigger computers and less with algorithmic advances (though these did help) [1]:

AMT: Ok, so you have been working on neural networks for decades but it has only exploded in its application potential in the last few years, why is that?

Geoffrey Hinton: I think it’s mainly because of the amount of computation and the amount of data now around but it’s also partly because there have been some technical improvements in the algorithms. Particularly in the algorithms for doing unsupervised learning where you’re not told what the right answer is but the main thing is the computation and the amount of data.

The algorithms we had in the old days would have worked perfectly well if computers had been a million times faster and datasets had been a million times bigger but if we’d said that thirty years ago people would have just laughed.

As to the papers you mention- researchers publish papers and in them, they make claims. That's their job. The job of anyone who reads a paper is to take it in good faith but retain their critical and skeptical stance throughout. If you're not directly involved with ANN research, or implementing your own ANN systems for some commercial application, it's very hard to know whether a claim in a paper is useful to anyone besides the scientist who published it.

My favorite section from the essay was that it highlights the problem with a lot of modern news reporting: we typically don't see a resolution. An incident happens, we froth over it for a while, and then we move on to the next. Maybe I feel so stressed out all the time because of all of these open loops.

Fieldbook is a new information tool that combines the best of a spreadsheet and a database. We're pursuing a big vision to bring the power of relational modeling to non-technical end users. It's an ambitious project with deep technical challenges—but one that will transform people's relationship with the tools they use every day.

Our four-person team has backgrounds from Amazon, Google, and Facebook. We've raised a total of $2.9M to date from investors including Accomplice VC, Pear VC, Naval Ravikant's AngelList syndicate, Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Steven Sinofsky (ex-Microsoft), Eric Ries (Lean Startup), and John Collison (Stripe).

We were #1 on Product Hunt with over 1600 upvotes: https://www.producthunt.com/tech/fieldbook-2

We have a modern tech stack including a continuous deployment pipeline with a full automated regression test suite, so it's always easy to ship code to production.

This is an early-stage opportunity that is perfect for someone who wants to optimize for ownership and impact.

Could you link to article? I would be really surprised if they had some evidence for causation. I would think that theoretically something like bullying might have large confounders. Basically the likable quarterback doesn't get picked on, but the kid that doesn't fit quite fit in does. And at least some of this is probably genetic.
We already do a lot of things that go against our biological instincts. Which is probably one of the main reasons humans are so successful as a species. We can change ourselves some more, if it will increase the chances of our species' survival.

We sit in font of computers the whole day. The disciplined ones runs when there is no immediate danger or prey. We don't attack or kill people when they make us angry. We don't have sex with everything that has a chance to bear offspring.
There is a paper trail, at least in developed countries with a formal waiting list. So a corrupt authority harvesting organs without consent cannot just use it without informing the registry about where the organ came from.

I don't get point 3. Microservices are for the backend usually, right? You don't want multiple TCP/HTTP[S] connections from the client to all your services - pointless overhead. Worst case scenario, if you need direct client-microservice connectivity, then throw all the services behind nginx and terminate SSL there.
The existence of the request itself (for the handshake) is most of the cost. If a client is on the other side of the world, hundreds of ms. Otherwise if you have servers everywhere, still probably 50-70ms for the handshake.

Edit: in my experience.
