DuckDuckGo is great and I've actually had surprising success in getting non-tech people to try it out, and stick with it! My girlfriend has set it as default it in all of her devices, she loves the !bang searches (imdb, wiki, etc.) and lack of ads.

Also, half of my co-workers. !python, !mdn, etc.

I think the biggest hurdle going forward is the fact that DDG is much better for English results than in other languages (we work half in French), but I hope the project grows and grows. Google needs to go down eventually!
Getting rid of the zookeeper requirement is a huge plus. Adds complication to the stack when trying to automate the deployment process. Maybe you could achieve a similar thing with the Scala version however.

For the Kafka deployment itself, you wouldn't need to install scala or java. Just download the go executable compiled for your architecture and away you go.

Congratulations. As a parent of 2 toddlers, here is what I suggest:

Don't think too much. Spend as much time as possible with your kid. Give them a hug, make them laugh, always be around them if possible. Rest is all details that can always be worked out. Don't try to join the rat race of doing too many things.

Don't plan too much. Kids will spoil it anyway. Trust me. Been there and still doing it. So enjoy the journey.

Don't focus too much on "what are my aspirations for my kid". Instead, let them be. You know what kids really want and look up to ? Their parents/caregivers who are around them to listen to them and play with them. That is all they care about. Yes, activities are important but only a side effect.

What would be the point in advertising in a country without payment infrastructure? You would have to find local businesses who want to advertise online and who would also have barriers to paying you.
My ML professor once took hidden markov model and arrived at equations of a kalman filter. That just completely blew my mind, I could never think the concepts from estimation theory machine learning could be related so beautifully.
Hahaha, I guess it's a big misunderstanding. You wrote:

"Nobody really wrote software rendering like that beyond CG classes".

I read this as a claim that nobody in general wrote software renderers. When by "like that" you just meant using the specific techniques he used.

That said, I still have to disagree, in the sense that, to get to a fast software renderer, you start with a slow software renderer. Nobody does all the crazy optimizations a priori ... so stuff like a divide per pixel was common, say. Calling trig functions in inner loops is of course goofy, but my presumption is that in the next step of refinement those would be lifted out of the loops, because that is the way things are always done.
I think the key is critically examining the modern claim that doing anything less than 3 activities and 2 foreign languages is "wasted potential". Maybe to spend a childhood so focused on pursuit and less on the journey is the waste?
You don't have to apologize for your post (... to me, anyway, who laughed out loud). There is value in humor that is separate from information yield.

A 4 year vesting with a 1 year cliff is standard, is that not what you're referring to?
Could you elaborate what you have in mind?
You make some valid points but there is only so many things you can do with a kid. How do you know they will become the next Pele? Sure you can send them to soccer at age 3 but then what if they could become the next Frank Sinatra ? Oh, fine lets get them enrolled in music. See the pattern ? By the time they have 5-6 activities that they are forced into, you don't necessarily know what they actually want and perhaps they don't want any of it. At what point do you stop ? That is the dilemma of fast parenting.

This is a significant subset of what ITA does though - just a list of what flights go on each day of the week and at what time. I expect that can be built for significantly less than 700 million, certainly among the popular airports that most people search for. I suspect they might have had it before the ITA purchase as well but not 100% sure. The Google flights search with pricing and custom dates and routes came after ITA was bought I think.
In Tunisia for example, there is a booming payment infrastructure. It is just limited to local currency and local stores. Local Google and Facebook ads are flourishing.

> If you don't start playing soccer really young, you will never be able to catch up to someone who did.

And if your child hates soccer? Their ability will only really matter if they want to turn it into a career.

> A child can easily become fluent in two languages if they're immersed from a young age.

Which, if not used, is lost to the years. My mother could speak Serbian when she was young, because she was exposed to it. She can't anymore; hasn't been able to for years. I learned German when I was young, but don't recall a single thing now. Again, unless you want to live in a country where that language is prevalent, the long term value is rather low.

> It would be shame to waste potential.

IMO, it would be a greater shame to shape the child in your image for them, instead of into the person they want to become.

In my experience, social skills, a good sense of self, and a broad educational background have served me better in adulthood than my years spent swimming ever did. If anything, my parents focus on me being a swimmer (which provided a social venue for them) held me back from developing more skills I could have used once I became an adult.

They don't toot their technical horn, they go for more of the Hollywood flair (they work closely with weta workshop, the guys behind props and CG in Lord of the Rings/District 9 for example). I know some excellent technical people working there, but that side of things is very hush hush.
Though author has not mentioned I think Go program would be using an order of magnitude less amount of memory compared to Java alternative. Besides of course you have mentioned ease of deployment.

Did the "nonprofit, nonpartisan" Intercept publish similar instructions over the last 8 years? For a "journalistic piece" it's odd there is no author of the article. They don't have any contact links beside an onion address and a PO Box.

Who funds the Intercept anyway?

I think Greenwald, a self described liberal, has been fair in calling out other liberals in their hypocrisy, especially the Obama admin.

Someone may do that. That happens to every other president, legitimate or otherwise. But the very idea that we quash criticism of an elected official, simply because crazy people exist, is pretty much the opposite of a free Republic.
Sorry I don't know a source... actually I don't think I've seen this on any other sites. Just one of those small things that keeps me with Google.
Absolutely this. Businesses have honed to great effect their ability to extract money from people. It's just the yang of capitalism that people extract as much as possible from businesses at the lowest price possible (or free).
I read the article... bikes don't have plates so how will they id individuals?
The last paragraph estimates 4% instead of 7%. But they don't cite sources to back the claim up.
Yes. And many people believe they live in such a hypothetical world.

My experience under the Reagan, Bush1, Clinton, Bush2, and Obama administrations leads me to believe that there is plenty of misconduct on both sides of the aisle that should be exposed. You don't have to look very hard to find examples - it just takes listening a little bit to the other side occasionally, and not automatically disregarding everything they say.

It looks to me like the party that abuses power more is the party that has more of it at the time.

And yes, the Republicans have a worrisome amount of power at this time, so there is a lot of discussion on those potential abuses. The apocalyptic rhetoric is very similar (but of opposite polarity) to that in 2009 and other times, back at least to 1993.
I can't help noticing that this article, questioning Newton's role, was posted by a user named Hooke.
Since reading through the source of the Kafka server (and several client implementations), I've been intrigued by the idea of reimplementation using cooperative multitasking.

Kafka clients tend to be very resource intensive. It would be interesting to support a smaller/scalable footprint and a lower latency mode of operation.

Regarding end-to-end encryption on phone calls, it's pretty much illegal for telcos to deploy in the US or Europe due to lawful intercept requirements. That, not NSA meddling in standards committees, is what keeps carriers from deploying it.

You do have a point, shipping 50lbs of pet food for free was not sustainable for pets.com in 2000 but one could hardly fault customers for taking advantage of such foolishness.

Let's set aside any moral/ethical implications of ab/using free services for a moment.

The problem for you as a customer is that once the service closes it might take some time to find a new service.

Second, your time is valuable too. Making multiple free accounts to save $10 a month is an activity which might make perfect sense for a poor college student but would draw comparisons with Mr. Burns if you are a middle-aged high wage earner.

It took a while for amazon.com to get into pet food business.

No, but nonlinear systems can be linearized about any particular operating point very easily, and the linearized system is often reasonably close to the whole nonlinear one.
Chrome supports multiple profiles (click the person icon or username on the upper right), not just logged and incognito.
TL;DR: Yes.

The article is actually is rather short; it points out the differences in the mathematical notation used in the development of (then new) calculus, which is an interesting topic in itself since it has been a source of some confusion up to this day.

For example, using the dot to denote the (time) derivative is extremely confusing for many beginning students of analytical mechanics due to the casual mixing it with the other notation adopted in most of the literature. A first attempt to parse an expression containing the time derivative of the partial derivative of a function (the Lagrangian) by the "time derivative" of a generalized coordinate, the latter derivative being denoted by the dot, may be quite challenging.

My advice is to see the dot, at least in such contexts, merely as some kind of diacritic which is used to denote another independent variable - with the reminder that this new variable will, in some other appropriate context, be taken to be the time derivative of the other one (i.e. the one without the dot).
Let's say someone takes out a loan to buy land with a set of apartments built upon it. After subtracting loan payment costs (including interest on the loan), they're making a positive cashflow. How much of that cashflow is from the land and how much is from the apartment structure? Perhaps it's just that I'm unfamiliar with the split you're proposing, but it seems really naive to think that one can simply "tax away all capital gains associated with the land" when there doesn't seem to be any clean way to differentiate what comes from land.

The Intercept has been plenty critical of the Obama administration, from the drone strikes to the surveilence state, to their handling of Manning and Snowden.

They're (imo) a bit on the tinfoil hat side of reporting, but they're hardly partisan. The simple fact is that now the administration is Republican, so any comments on the current administration are going to be about a Republican administration.
How would you define "profiteering?" By granting them the patent we have eliminated all possibility of competition, giving them the ability to charge whatever they want, anchored by what the desperate are willing to pay instead of the cost of production. To what extent can they use this power before people get up in arms about it?

I think we need to rethink the entire system. There should be incentives for drug research and discovery, but we still need a functioning competitive market if we expect prices to stay at reasonable levels. One idea is, rather than giving the discoverer monopoly rights, require anyone else who produces the drug to pay a percentage of their production costs as a royalty. This preserves the competitive advantage of the company that discovered the drug, but anchors the consumer price to the cost of production.

They also would simply refuse to research and develop any new drugs under that regulatory environment. Drug companies are. not benevolent entities, they are as cuththroat, or even moee so than Wall Street.

The real issue is the cost and length of clinical trials. I know this can be lowered somewhat by allowing computational models, but it is a difficult problem to solve unless biotech goes through the same garage Revolution as the PC
Oh hey, this is something I've actually done some real work on!

> Just try converting that into a circuit

Hmm. I think this article is a little behind the times. Loops are not a problem with Homomorphic encryption, as we can create circuits that work exactly like a transistor-based CPU.

In fact, I've got an implementation of one that I've been working on here: https://github.com/mmastrac/oblivious-cpu

The trick to making this work is that you may not know how long the computation is going to take, so you need to either add a set number of iterations to run (ie: clock cycles), or send back encrypted updates as you run to give your trusted computer a chance to determine when the calculation has finished.
On reflection, this seems a fair point; we've restored the submitted title (removing "only" as suggested) from “Atlassian's customer roster swells, delivers solid Q2”. If the original title weren't such droning PR-speak there might be a stronger case for sticking to the rule, especially since the article is particularly light on Trello details, but it's close enough.

Learning a second language once you're past 20 is hard.

I don't buy this, at least in terms of kids "learn faster".

Adults have the benefit of both motivation and 20 (or more) years of communication experience, same as how a senior programmer with 20 years under their belt wouldn't find it hard to add another ML-dialect to their tool-belt vs a high-school grad who is learning their first functional language. If anything is "hard" about learning a language as an adult it's the time and priority shift required for immersion.

Now soccer, yea I'll give you that one. Or Piano, or whatever other skill where the compound benefit of repeated fine-motor skill practice often pays off.
The Japan zombie scenario is usually cited as the most likely outcome if China refuses to reform its economy and allow bad loans to go bad (allow bankruptcy etc).

The zombies are semi-dead entities (whether full corporate, or corporate-state). They tend to perpetually eat capital, frequently need new bailouts, get in the way of progress and growth in the economy, and they tend to survive by politics (by necessity, as they're failed entities) rather than serving customers or providing a good product etc.
Of course, we know from history that it existed for $40 a vial. Looking into it, it was identified in the 1930s and a synthetic analogue was developed in the 1960s.

I imagine the one weird trick they were using to bring down costs is only to devote a small number of days each year to producing the particular drug. It'd be interesting to see the current production costs.
Put educational and physical things in the child's environment. They are going to absorb information from their environment anyway, so you might as well make what they will absorb useful.

The problem with the lazy parenting that others in this thread advocate is that when everybody does it, you end up with a society that is obsessed with trivial entertainment, retarding scientific advancement; and you will live a shorter life and have less time with your kid as a result.
Unthinkable challenge
The thing they're saying opened the door was an executive order originally started by Bush in 2008. So if Obama hadn't implemented it, Trump could have basically instantly.

Obama was no friend to privacy, but the doors have been open to a surveillance state for decades at minimum.

> Also, with ~$1.4 bn raised, they're too big to fail.

So many companies have raised hundreds of millions/billions of dollars and then either completely blew up or became a shell of their former selves. Nothing is too big to fail, and that mentality is toxic.
