Sad. Rather than fix the root problem they rewrite the product in a less-agile language and require everyone to run opaque binaries.

They probably even think they're doing a good thing.
I don't see that as contrary at all. The only real question is whether Walmart can learn how to be a tech company (and innovate as fast as Amazon) better than Amazon can learn to be a full-stack logistics company (and beat Walmart to meet the customers needs).
Yeah, took me back to 1999.

The real answer to your question is: Because the court system.

Specifically, because the magistrate that heard Google's case disagreed with the other judge's ruling. It's specifically mentioned in the first paragraph of the article, linking to the article as well as another one stating that a rehearing on the Microsoft case was denied. Judges seem to be very split on the issue, so it's a matter of who you get.
Chipotle is a great example of why it's a good idea to save money -- they would be deep in debt right now if not for their impressive pile of cash they had saved up while the times were good.
- "Hi, we decided to change the terms of your contract and you have to sign this document right now... or else."

- "Sorry, I need to talk with he Union first to see what my options."

- "Hi, we decided that you need to come to work all the weekends in March and we still have to decide if we will pay for the overtime and how much".

- "Mmm... Well, let me ask the Union, but I think that this is not going to happen... I actually had lots of plans for the weekends in March."

- "Hi, you are fired. Not because you are a bad professional but because you ask too many questions and because you don't show yourself submissive in front of me".

- "Mmm... I am afraid that you will need to have a long conversation with the lawyers of the Union first".

That's what Unions are for in many countries.

But even if it's true, that's not super constructive, and the readership benefits more from an argument against gp's position. Please don't do this, hn isn't Reddit. Still, have an upvote.
I don't see why it's surprising. Unless you're exceptionally lucky as well as exceptionally successful, it takes more than one working lifetime to amass enough wealth to be in the top 1%, and so you will only get there if you inherit some significant amount of wealth.

What I find most interesting is the article's assumption that the biggest predictor should be which college you go to, a perception which the 'best' collages have spent millions of dollars to create.

Yes. This is a private trial, not a criminal one. Only criminal trials are public. Private law trials are only necessarily public for the complainant and defendant.

Essentially what's happening here is that there are 2 parties that signed a contact, and then one of the parties violated said contract. The only people involved are those 2 parties (and anyone they hire/ask/... to represent them). Nobody else has a right to know.
Doing 1-day delivery to the majority of your customers in U.S. is easier than you might think-- You just put fulfillment centers within 1 day of the east coast. There's a UPS hub in Louisville and a Fedex hub in Memphis. Those areas are also 1-day to east coast, the rent is cheap, and the locals will give you all sorts of concessions for bringing in jobs. I have seen one Amazon subsidiary that was capable of doing same-day deliver to a large portion of their customers 10 years ago. The trick is to make it cost effective. People pay for different classes of shipping from various vendors-- but getting the order to you as quickly as possible isnt the most profitable way to do business. There are sweat spots where they minimize the cost of shipping but its still "fast enough". Take for example shipments out of the continental U.S.. Every carrier has ways to pool packages in ways that make them cheaper to ship. The shipping still costs you the same, but it'll arrive later. Most of the time you'll be fine with waiting. The times you're not you'll complain and they'll upgrade shipping.
That sound is not the only one that triggers my response, but I chose it because of this argument: I don't think anyone would argue that there is something culturally wrong (at least in western culture) with eating apples around other people. And there isn't really a way to eat a whole apple without making a sound that makes me irrationally furious.

I think the Game Developer Tycoon one is the only actual success story, and that's because the story went viral.

For every person who goes out of their way to complain on the forums, there's probably five that just caution their friends not to buy the game.

I also recall (obviously difficult to verify) accounts from people who claimed that the Arkham Asylum (I recalled it was City...?) bug happened to them with legitimate copies. From a development perspective, an "Easter egg" of that sort requires a LOT of QA effort.

The newspaper doesn't necessarily know how bad the ads get for users, the users don't know what the financial stress is on the newspaper, and the advertising network doesn't have to care about either of them beyond squeezing the most water from a stone.

Because some things are a choice, and some things are not. Some things can be turned off and some things cannot.

This heuristic doesn't accurately predict which attributes are protected (legislatively or otherwise) and which are not. There's a pretty much open-ended set of predetermined attributes that can be discriminated on. Start with height and physical attractiveness: these factors are more-or-less immutable, but are well known as drivers of discrimination.
This article seems to be missing an obvious point: The top 1% earn most of their money from investments rather than salary. And since rich parents will often give their assets to their children (in the form of trust funds or inheritance) it's natural that the children will also be rich.

In fact, I'm surprised at how little advantage there is to having rich parents. Someone whose parents' income is in the top 1% and graduates from an elite university has less than a one-in-five chance of staying in the top 1%.

While government power is the main source of monopolies, the free market is far from perfect protection itself. Natural monopolies really exist.

The best example is anything that requires a wire run to every home. The issue is high fixed costs whether or not someone becomes a customer, with low operational costs after. Therefore if a second company runs wires through the same neighborhood, between them you have large sunk costs which a competitive price that does not let you recoup the costs of infrastructure.

Taking numbers from http://journals.uic.edu/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/1072/9..., the cost of running a wire by a home in the early 2000s was roughly $750, and the fixed cost of connecting it is about $750 again. The cost to operate that line is under $15/month. Those costs are surprisingly close to constant across a wide variety of kinds of cities. (Dense cities require less distance, have more regulation, and more other things running through the space that you have to worry about not breaking.)

To give a historical example, Bell Telephone ran wires everywhere. They operated under various anti-trust regulations for a long time. They were barred from cable TV and so another set of wires got run. Then Bell was broken up by force, with interoperation rules to prevent monopoly again. Today, with the internet, we have seen a convergence of these two sets of wires. So most of us live in places where we have one or two choices for getting internet over a wire. One possibly from a former cable company like Cox. One possibly from a former telephone company like Verizon. Very few of us have a third option. Without government involvement it is unlikely that 2 options will remain indefinitely viable for most of us.

F# is a beautiful language. You always want to use the right tool for the job but honestly F# is so right for so many jobs.

I know a lot of people don't want to hear this but these types of languages, functional first, are the future of our industry. (In the sense that in the 2000s Java like laguanges were the future of our industry). I might be reaching here, but in my opinion, these are the right languages for the Cloud and that's why they are getting so popular.
I grew up in a family of 6 on 38k a year, I can guarantee that's too poor, even in the country. That was in the 80's, it must be even worse now.

At those incomes all your financial decisions are about food and housing, and hopefully getting clothing donations. Let alone trying to think about educating your kids to try and get them out.

This is a lifeline to people, and helps educate their children. We should be doing more as a society to help those at the bottom.

Per the link, 7 of the 20 inherited their wealth. Of the others in the top 10, per Wikipedia:

* Gates' wealthy family background is described in another post in this discussion.

* Bezos' family (broadly defined) owned a 25,000 acre ranch in Texas and his father was an Exxon engineer

* Buffet's father was a member of the US Congress

* Zuckerburg is the child of a psychiatrist and dentist, and attended high school at Phillips Exeter academy (possibly the most elite high school in the U.S.).

* Ellison grew up middle class

* Bloomberg seems to have been working class

Note also that in the land of opportunity, where ~33% of the population is white-skinned and male, 90% (18 of 20) of the 20 wealthiest people are white guys and the other 2 are white women who inherited their money from white guys.

The total automobile sector is actually quite massive - it was 8% of the GDP back in 2013 and 7-8% of employment.[1]

Almost all "imports" below 2 million rupees are actually manufactured 70-80% in India from scratch (for instance Toyota and Honda mainly import engine blocks and engine electronics from Thailand) and the more expensive Mercs, Audis and BMWs are imported as kits and assembled in India. It's only the Porches and Ferraris that are fully imported.

Most of the market anyway is below 1 million Rupees and anyway is mostly owned by Suzuki, Hyundai and Toyota brands who manufacture almost 100% locally.

Alan Kay, 2015: Power of Simplicity [video]
The US median family income is ~$50k/yr. Most people think that you can spend 4% of capital indefinitely. So to make $50k/yr you need $1.25M. If you have $1.25M in assets you are in the 92nd percentile(1).

So apparently you don't even have to be in the 1% to be in "the owning class" and get by as well as the median American household.

[1] According to http://www.shnugi.com/networth-percentile-calculator/ which I found via a quick Google search. I won't vouch for it's accuracy but I'm guessing it's in the ballpark.
If I buy a house, and give the house to my children when they retire (and they either use it or sell it to get one they want to use), they'll never have to pay rent, only taxes and maintenance.

They can use that money to invest, to take longer to pick better job, to train and get better at what they do...and eventually they can take all of that, and give it to their children who'll be even richer, and so on.

The only way to prevent this from happening is to ban inheritance, which would be all sorts of bullshit.
I believe that, in WebGL, if you sample the texture in a shader the resulting color is in a linear space. And output colors from a fragment shader are meant to be linear as well.

I realize now that I can't fully answer your question, because I'm unsure whether WebGL implementations are supposed to respect color correction information in the image file format. But I'm pretty sure that the color space in WebGL "shader land" is always linear.
Is this all still totally hype? Anything close to practical? Wikipedia[1] shows:

year 2001: factor 15
year 2011: factor 21
year 2011: factor 143

At that rate of progress we might be able to factor something useful before we reach the heat death of the universe. But I guess the topic is good for lots of scary headlines.

Top 1% income includes a lot of people who are just barely in that 1% and get most of their money from income. Many people go in and out of that top 1% in good and bad years so it's not as fixed as your thinking. Wealthy people may even have a net negative income for multiple years while keeping a 7 figure lifestyle.

Even wealth is tricky as someone's wealth at death is probably a better indicator. Though again complicated by trusts that are not in their name.

Planet Money - Not exactly an up-to-date fintech news channel. But, these guys take current fintech news as topic and make a comprehensive podcast about it.

All of these seem like solvable problems. E.g. in Manhattan Prime Now can already deliver within 1-2 hours. Stolen packages can be catered by drop-off safeboxes in houses/buildings. Job specialization should win in the end - a delivery person with an efficient route is going to be cheaper than the sum of everyone picking their stuff up.
I'll second this. I checked my order history, I've got about a 40% return rate over the last 12 months. Most are things I bought that looked okay and were just junk when I got them. Some were standard "it didn't quite fit/whatever" returns, and then the ones that really get me mad are the ones that are supposed to be a brand name and holding it up next to a known genuine article they're not even a good fake.

Trendy brands of clothes or accessories don't even bother. Supposedly real brand name ICs and small electrical components, completely hopeless.

Throw in the fact that they don't notify you when your shipping times changes and it almost always seems to push out a day or two as soon as you purchase it and I've practically quit shopping on Amazon unless I can't find it anywhere else or I don't care about the quality that I'm getting.

"is there such a thing as neutral on this? you're either for or against net neutrality. the only neutral people are those people who are not involved/don't care. and I don't really care to hear from those people.
"

You kind of answered your own question. There is such a thing as neutral on this, you just don't like to hear from them :)
Actually, i'm pretty neutral, surprisingly, and i don't really care that much, so i'd fall into your latter category. I only commented because of how much bs the original comment was.
Personally, i don't care mainly because neither side actually gives a crap about me. Only their bottom line. That isn't going to change anytime soon. It's certainly not going to change while the FCC is literally appointed by two parties.

"also the universal service fund is paid for by you and me. the rate we pay is calculated based on what they need to spend and not vice versa. so if we don't pay for 1/3rd of us households we will pay less tax and the fund will be smaller"

This isn't quite true due to how the forecasting is done, but sure, it's lose enough
But we could also stop paying the billions to the telecoms and instead, pay for 1/3rd of the households, for the same price.
:)

But you are also saying that 1/3rd of households fall into this category:

"Establishes a National Eligibility Verifier to verify eligible Lifeline subscribers. Eligibility will be based on participation in SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, Federal Public Housing Assistance, the Veterans *Pension benefit program, current Tribal qualifying programs, or those who can demonstrate income of less than 135 percent of the federal poverty guidelines."

If 34% of america falls into that category, then we pretty much better do something anyway!

My only concern about a 100% inheritance tax is enforcement — what other bullshit is there? If there is one thing I can absolutely guarantee you, it's that once you're dead, you won't care what happens to your money.

I fail to see any benefit to society of people receiving unearned money for having the right parents.
