massive abuse of power. It's amazing that the company that controls most internet advertising, also controls which websites are blacklisted by the vast majority of browsers.

Not using adsense? Maybe we blacklist that website until they use adsense! :)

And the biggest problem is, there is no oversight, or communication or recourse. If your website gets blocked, you won't know why, and will just have to click a "reconsider" button to ask Google to see if it's acceptable now.

Three Effective Techniques for Climbing a Rope
Idiomatic Expressions Linked to Falconry
A quick "lifetime" opportunity cost is a bit misleading. A quick 1-2 year opportunity cost (but realize part of that difference is being able to invest that 1-2 years of savings). You will want to re-evaluate in a year anyway to see if you are accomplishing what you set out to accomplish. If not, you can get back into the workforce with a good story to tell.

Edit: Just realized you only have a few $k

Do not do this on only a few $k. You need enough to live on while you try. Also the opportunity cost includes using your savings so what that would have been invested really is a lifetime opportunity cost.

If you are going to do it with just a few $k at least get rid of as many subscriptions as you can (gym, or better running shoes, and low bandwidth internet are probably needed, but netflix, hulu, cable are not). Then calculate how many months you can live on savings. If you don't already keep good books it will probably take a few months to figure this out.
I suspect there's some legal strategy here, but this fine seems pretty meh. The real punishment should be paying them what they advertised: 600,000 * 0.10 (at least 10 percent of all drivers were paid less) * 15/hr (average advertised wage) * 40 hours = 36M minimum. More if you do a more granular analysis. Keep in mind, this is just paying them what they advertised. There should also be a large consequence for lying to begin with.

Without severe punishment for doing this, there's little reason to not do it. You and your team can just do a cost-benefit analysis and see if it's worth lying. Why not have a super severe punishment to discourage this type of behavior forever? Say 10% of all revenue since this was in place? This is just another practice that supports big-business. Large firms can easily absorb these kind of minimal fines. To pay they'll layoff the people who had nothing to do with this. Leadership isn't going to be affected by this.

All companies with revenue in the billions should be fined in the billions at minimum. As a society, are we going to allow companies to lie and deceive in the name of "disruption"? We already know how that went once during 2008 (of course it's not the same thing here).

EDIT:

I realize that I used the word 'fine', when really this is a settlement. They're not the same, but I hope the point I'm making still gets across.

The Trump Speech That No One Heard
Browsing is the one thing that seems fine. How does the lack of memory manifest itself? It may be due to my particular activities, but for more than two decades I've been aware of what is considered the minimum RAM for a developer system at any given time, and have gotten away with 1/2 to 1/4 of that amount, typically due to starting out with a cheaper system and then keeping it for a long time.

Using a cheaper system, if possible, is my "protection plan." I like to stay within what I could afford to replace out-of-pocket if something happens like the device gets stolen or I crash my bike.

But your point is well taken, and a developer should consider the typical system for their own preferred environment, which is likely to be more sophisticated than mine.

Nowadays, you can do:

auto sh_ptr = make_shared(....); // Since C++11

or

It saves you from having to explicitly name the type parameter and you just need to pass in the parameters of the constructor. It's not as terse as & or *, but it's not that bad.

I was able to land a gig at a clearing company because I saw a post that a recruiter was looking for developers for a trading company and I wanted to break into the industry but didn't have enough experience in what they were looking for. I reached out and they found a job that worked for me.
Did the article change? Because you put employing millions in a quote as if he said that, I don't see the articles quoting him on that.

But, it is possible to consider that employing millions in this sector could lead to decline of various types in other sectors.

Still, there were not "millions" employed for war. I would require a source on that.
While I agree that luck vs work is a key distinction between people that seems to drive political differences. I think that desires regarding the future are even more fundamental.

Looking to the future, I would like to see cancer cured in my lifetime. I'd like to see aging cured or at least I'd like to get a lot more quality years out of my life. I'd like to see a real cure for my failing knees, eyes, and memory.

None of that is going to happen if we throw up our hands and rely upon luck. Because no matter what "reasonable" ratio you put on the luck to work formula for success, work is non-zero.

The head teacher is talking about bullying happening on social media which is interfering with student's school life.

(Edit: I didn't downvote you.)
Why shouldn't students be allowed to use their phones during class? In college we all had laptops in front of us in every lecture and it didn't stop us from learning.
First of all, congratulations! This is a big step (albeit a little scary), but it's the kind of step you'll never look back and regret.

I quit my job about a year ago to pursue my startup. It didn't work out, but I don't regret it.

I think the biggest thing that I messed up is truly underestimating my expenses. Make sure you budget (on paper, not just in your head :)) for "miscellaneous" expenses. When bootstrapping a project, it's really easy to say "woah, this really is valuable, I'll just put it on my high interest credit card because I'll be able to pay it off in a couple months with my cash flow." I made the mistake of looking at what it took for me to live and pay my bills, and severely underestimated all those little "misc." expenses that show up when bootstrapping a project.

Oh, and for what it's worth, the company I quit to work on my project full-time hired me back with open arms and a raise :). So don't worry too much about quitting, people understand and support your decisions more than you might think!

Good luck!

> Imagine if instead of becoming an uber driver, you retrofit your car with an Uber Automated Car Taxi Converter(c), "guaranteed to put your car to work for you!"

No way; see my comments above about the differences in car design. Combining electric vehicles and autonomous driving is a HUGE combination that trades mechanical complexity (difficult to diagnose, time intensive, permanent fixes are extremely costly) for software complexity (less deterministic but can easily be patched). This greatly reduces both the initial cost and the maintenance costs of electric vehicles (really, the only thing you have to swap out are the tires). Reduction in fleet maintenance costs alone is huge. My theory is that the Tesla Model S only costs as much as it does because they're using it as a premium option to fund R&D of the self-driving auto platform. I'd bet if we saw the total marginal cost for a Model S it would be SIGNIFICANTLY lower than a comparable internal combustion / hybrid automobile.

Your current car is also designed at least partially for driver comfort. If you no longer need a driver, then you no longer need a steering wheel, or control of any kind really... and you can offer a completely different transportation experience. Do you even need a windshield? What happens to the interior of the auto as VR/AR gain popularity?

But I'm pretty sure whatever the future of the car is, your current auto won't be along for the ride. I'm not even sure that individual auto ownership will make sense anymore -- companies with large fleets will almost certainly be able to offer various levels of guaranteed pickup times. If you're wealthy and want your own car, you would just pay more for a "dedicated" car instead of a "shared" one.

For thousands of years they have been 100% wrong - no exceptions. What makes you think you are more capable of fucking up than everyone before you? You're not. Generally speaking, you're also not particularly smarter than people 10 000 years ago. Sure, you have somewhat more advanced technology, but you are grossly overestimating the impact of your actions, especially since you have practically ZERO understanding of how the natural world actually works.

> "...race liberals ran roughshod over deep concerns expressed by other liberals and some experts on crime and punishment that the quest for more proceduralism untethered to substantive goals in criminal justice would yield a more punitive criminal justice system"

Outside the actual meaning intended for 'race liberals' it does seem like a case of labelling with the intent to paint a non-neutral narrative. The 'race liberals' ran roughshod. The other liberals concerns were deep, and supported by experts, and the proceduralism was apparently not tethered to any goals.

This paragraph at least seems more fiction than non-fiction.

This makes sense as System.Drawing (aka GDI+) was mainly used for WinForms and has never been supported for web servers. I suspect Mono ported it to support their Windows Forms port.

I honestly believe the US isn't going to have enough political capital or will to do anything about climate change in next 15-20 years.

Because younger children are less disciplined and perhaps not as aware of the harm they are causing themselves by playing candy crush in their maths lesson.

Yes in an emergency they would be useful, but lets be honest many people survived their schooldays with a mobile phone so I am not sure why you feel that a 12year old must have a mobile phone with them at all times.
Yes, there isn't feature parity between pyramid and falcon.

You have event system, security abstraction, all kinds of overloading helpers for views and internal machinery that falcon doesn't seem to provide at least from my cursory look. Compare the size of documentation and configuration options between both projects.

Also looking at this http://klen.github.io/py-frameworks-bench/ the 5x better speed of falcon seems to be completly made up or occur in some very specific situation. More realisticly it looks like falcon can be 30% faster in some scenarios not involving storage - but for the price of giving you less options.

Which probably means that if you use any kind of storage the difference between those two can be ignored.

College is fundamentally different. First of all you're a lot older and more mature and secondly you're there (both in that class and in school in general) because you want to be. Also in many cases you're actually paying to be there (if nothing else with opportunity cost). That gives you entirely different incentives to learn.

Finally there is no consensus about whether or not laptops in lectures help or hinder learning.

And that's the problem of "aaaalmoooost self-driving cars, just a few corner cases:" 1. the corner cases are right where the risks are, and 2. the hype of "autopiloted" cars creates an unrealistic expectation of L5 autonomy.
This is just nuts.

Looking for a tech solution to a human problem. If a kid in my class was misusing their phone or laptop, I'd just take it away for a period of time. Simple. If they are repeat offenders, I'd throw their screen on the projector. Or read out their chat log :-)

But I'd rather they have internet access than not. Even if it means they use social media.
There's no such thing as 'multitasking'. Its just 'not paying attention'. I'd bet dollars to donuts it did stop/impair learning, drastically. To claim otherwise will require some citation?
No. Current is a rate of charge per time. It's like saying you're dumping a bucket of flow rather than a bucket of water.

What you're trusting the browser for there is the extra protection that preloading provides, but that's not the whole benefit here. The larger benefit is that it makes it infeasible for services to neglect to support HTTPS. So, even if your browser's preload list is busted, the site will be guaranteed to support HTTPS because of this effort, which you'll still benefit from.
