What business incentive would they have to be a black car app, if they can make more money by expanding into UberX? Not to mention, if they had remained a black car app, they might have gone out of business.

Uber is a business, not a charity. They exist to maximize profits. If you understand that point, then you see why your point is irrelevant.

Also, what the heck does it mean to "abuse growth"?
> Upstart wikis will never be able to compete!

The problem is not "upstart wikis" it's upstart everything. The internet is a lot bigger than just wikipedia, or indeed the web.
> The more I learn, the more I want this as a 3DS replacement.

I don't know if that's even possible. The 3DS has pretty good third party developer support and a huge back library.

The true worth of any system is how many high quality games are on the system and whether they're the games you want play.

Outside of the obvious "must have" first party titles, I can't see a whole lot of system-selling "must have" third party titles. If you're not into Nintendo's own games, you pretty much have no compelling reason to get a Switch. And if Switch hardware sales aren't strong enough, third party developers will stay away.

It also doesn't help (especially for parents on a budget) that Switch games are around $20 more than 3DS games.
>Bill Maher isn't a hero and is largely considered in the circles I run in to be the trashfire alt-left sort who I'd be happy to see the back of.

Curious. Looks like there's a lack of clear definitions here, because when I hear "alt-left" (or "control-left" as Maajid Nawaz likes to say) to me that means the SJW types who are quick to accuse anyone they disagree with as being a "bigot" or whatever. Maher seems pretty firmly against that.

>Your garden-variety possibly-a-war-criminal conservative (hi, John Yoo) gets op-eds in the New York Times, not "witch hunts".

Not really worth curating all the questionable left-wing folks major outlets have on staff or let write editorials, but it does seem odd to cite Yoo, here, since arguably that would be an example of the NYT trying to be objective and let you hear the otherside instead of just telling you what to think (FWIW he seems to be a Trump critic, so that aligns well with the NYT editoral board right now). I prefer the former.

It's good practice to destroy all sessions (besides the current one) when a password is changed, since a password change suggests that the old password may have been compromised. Not sure how many websites do that in practice, though.

These exact looking numbers are based on extrapolating a look at 1% of all requests, for the sites they think were leaking, for a 10 day period.

They don't get into the full detail of how they knew which sites to look for. For example, if I created a site with these settings, used it for a week, and then deleted it...is my site counted? What if I changed the settings back to normal? Does it slide under their radar? Did they really look for every site that had those settings at any time, or just any site that had those settings at the specific time they looked?

To me, it still feels like there's a window where a bad actor could have created a site that triggers this behavior, and then pumped it with a scraper, over and over.

Not really. I was training for the entrance test to military school and damaged my elbow. It's not serious for normal activities, though. Just can't push it too hard. I think I won't be operated on before the end of this year.
I agree.

You can still have a masterpiece newspaper article without metadata dripping all over it, but no amount of metadata is going to fix shoddy journalism. Fortunately, the metadata stuff isn't rocket science.

What is rocket science, however, is computational journalism. I think the NYT is onto something here. What happens when you pump up great journalists with the ability to mine data, create visualizations, and explore complex relationships that are intractable without computational assistance?
Other than Eich, I don't see any politics in those decisions.
[author] Airflow is not a data flow engine, though you can use it to do some of that, but we typically defer on doing data transformations using/coordinating external engines (Spark, Hive, Cascading, Sqoop, PIG, ...).

We operate at a higher level: orchestration. If we were to start using Apache Beam at Airbnb (and we very well may soon!), we' use Airflow to schedule and trigger batch beam jobs alongside the rest of our other jobs.

Sorry simple question, simple answer and probably should have only deserved some disdain as I can't see what politics has to do with it unless you are some ignorant white supremacist. My limited understanding of the actual scientific fact is that, given that any 'group' or 'measure' is fairly arbitrary and tests for cognitive ability quite subjective culturally and even by species and so on, I would be very surprised if there weren't any differences. If we are really getting into haplotypes and have some way of not skewing whatever we do with whatever biased measures then I still say 'but of course individuals and their relations have different cognitive abilities - duh! They are different people with different abilities. The sum of those people are just the sum of those people. If we can get down to this gene makes you smarter at this test then still I say: 'but what value is that test in measuring overall cognitive ability?' The chimps will say of course that they are 'smarter' (if that is really where we are meant to be going with this because they are obviously superior to us baldies by this test:

Hm, the site has changed since I saw it last, seemingly to only include automated API documentation. That's a shame.

IIRC it's the Article Search API - it has a field named "fl" that controls what fields are returned, but it now the documentation doesn't seem to specify what fields it can return.
Because it's another expensive device you need to buy, carry with you (+0.5kg!) and keep charged (+weight for all the chargers, because of course iPad won't use USB-C ;) )
Only if you make sure to call Marshal.ReleaseComObject on all your objects, which requires you to hang on to explicit references to all of them, which is not very convenient for many COM APIs, e.g.

Application.Database.Classes.Item("MyClass").Refresh()

where you would have to save all the intermediate objects in variables just so you can destroy them.

Python works much better with COM, in my experience, because of its more primitive but more predictable reference counting.
Not OP, but I definitely have -- it's unbelievably annoying to deal with.

I had tweeted something pretty innocuous to a journalist after the election. I wasn't screaming about an illegitimate president or anything of the sort, it was something like, "Maybe we should look at adding more members of congress, it would smooth out the electoral college and make for better representation."

Several months later, some random right-wing asshole with 50,000+ followers retweeted my comment and said something like "Hillary supporters just won't get over losing!"

Within minutes I was absolutely inundated with his moron followers / bots. Literally hundreds of responses calling me a butthurt Liberal and going through my old comments so that I couldn't just block that one.

Twitter was basically unusable for a week afterwards. Can you imagine that shit all the time? None of those people followed me, they knew nothing of me or my politics, they just blindly chase whatever signal their 'leaders' choose to amplify.
Visual arts and architecture are both things that seem like they'd "suffer" from induced demand: by making it significantly easier to build a unique home, we'd be lowering the cost of people getting individualized homes, which would disproportionately increase demand. Leading to more profitable work for more architects.
My dad this operation in 2013 (and in 2007 before that), and I was allowed to watch it with his cardiologist (who was not the surgeon). They keep you awake, just insert something through the wrist. All the while you can just watch the insides on a TV. My dad reported that the only "weird" feeling he had was some sort of bubbling in his throat. He complained real time, and the doc said it's fine.
Off Topic: The stent cost INR 150000 (they give you the box), but the hospital procures it for way cheaper. My dad's entire stay cost slightly less than that.

Enspiral Dev Academy | Bootcamp Teacher/Developer | Wellington, New Zealand | ONSITE

Enspiral Dev Academy (EDA) is on the lookout for teachers! Teachers who are professional programmers, who love programming and want to share it with others. We are developing NZ’s next generation of technical talent and we believe that learning how to work effectively with other people is just as important as the craft of programming.

EDA is New Zealand’s first developer bootcamp that trains exceptional beginners on the fundamentals of web development. We take pride in graduating students who are quick learners and matched to the current industry requirements.

Teachers lead by example, demonstrating their passion for learning and their commitment to programming as a craft.

Being a teacher at EDA is more like being a trekking guide rather than a follow-the-textbook style lecturer. Teachers lead discussions, guide inquiry, pair programme with students, emphasise key areas, support students in their projects and challenges, and provide feedback to students and each other.

What we need is:

* Minimum 3 years experience with web development

* Knowledge of JavaScript/EcmaScript 6, Node.js/npm, React and Redux

* Someone who understands teaching and what it means to support a student’s learning journey.

A more complete description and application is available here: http://www.trademe.co.nz/jobs/it/programming-development/lis... .

Github has a contact form: https://github.com/contact - Here's the love letter that I just sent them if you need something to copy-paste.

> The internet just told me about the updated ToS and its potentially disastrous effects on the legal certainty of thousands, if not millions of open source contributors. I demand you adjust your ToS to ensure that users can be safe that they will not get into legal trouble by sharing open-source code and artifacts on Github.com. If you fail to provide me with sufficient legal certainty in this matter, I'm prepared to move my source code to other providers or to my private premises.

> Since my employer, $name, is also a paying user of Github.com, I will also refer to my employer's legal department to check which legal concerns could arise from my continued use of Github.com for work purposes, and take appropriate action.
Hey, it'd be quite helpful if we could use multiple locations to search. ie "SF+Seattle" or "SF, Seattle".
That incentive only works if a website's primary captcha use case is spam avoidance. Most websites that use captchas have a vested interest in preventing you from being able to bypass them by tossing money around. Paying to remove captchas is fundamentally unlike similar proposals (like paying to remove advertisements) that are designed to make innocuous users' lives easier because captchas aren't solely designed to prevent spam, nor are they designed as a passive revenue stream.

For example, one common use of a captcha is, essentially, rate-limiting in a non-spam prevention context. It's arguable that rate-limiting should be implemented differently, but captchas are actually fairly effective for rate-limiting regardless. Websites that feature things like gift card numbers typically put captchas on lookups and validations to prevent people from simply brute-forcing them (especially if they do not use gift card pins). In scenarios like that, you don't want spammers to be able to bypass captchas, but if they fundamentally can, at least it costs them money.

On the other hand, explicitly supporting captcha avoidance as a revenue stream, however, presents malicious users with the same opportunity that parents get if you offer to fine them for being late to pick up their children from daycare. You've just implicitly given them a choice that was not really allowed before, and they'll happily pay you directly instead of the shady API they have to use to get rid of the captcha.

So to sum up - captchas aren't fun, but in principle you really don't want there to be a consistent method for cheaply bypassing them (whether grey market or officially supported) if the expected value of doing so is significantly higher than the cost.
> Much of this seems to be safeguarding Github from legal issues related to their internal handling of the data the repository: reproducing without attribution is necessary for internal search, integrity of source will be violated by search and backups (which might partition the source on the backend), and conditions of "use, display, perform, and reproduce" were already issues before -- essentially depending on users to obey the license rules -- all that changed is that Github is legally requiring your permission to do these things.

It's relatively normal for a site to claim a permissive license for the purpose of implementing site functionality, such as transmitting, displaying,
rendering, or backing up the content. It's far rarer for a ToS to claim a permissive license for arbitrary other purposes, let alone grant that license to every other user of the site. The ToS changes here grant such a license to all GitHub users, and not just to use site functionality (e.g. hitting the "fork" button).

The few other times I've seen a site attempt to claim such rights over user-submitted content, it has resulted in a backlash just like this.
I agree, but I wouldn't expect to see news orgs provide this data until readers actually do demand it. Most are (slowly) going out of business, so they're not about to spend very expensive developer resources on features few people are asking for.

I find this disturbing.

Also, although extremely unlikely, I would imagine Github finally panicking upon a large exodus of high-profile FOSS projects.
I think the second is actually much less worrisome than the first. With absolute job losses, people who lose their jobs need to retrain or accept (probably much) lower pay in different fields. Both of those are hard on people psychologically, and requires very expensive government intervention to mitigate. With the second you just alter the mix of what young people are trained in originally. It will be more expensive to train a young person in programming as opposed to truck driving, but it's not nearly as bad as training a 50 year old trucker in programming, fiscally or psychologically.

Tips to help you spend more of your day writing code
To hazard a response, meeting a deadline creatively is knowing how best to trim, tweak and reimagine your concept to get in done in time.

One of the most fun and different aspects about writing code in a newsroom is the extremely different timescales that are involved compared to normal programming.

If you think it sounds like fun to sit down in front of a blank page of HTML with a fresh government dataset, RStudio, a copy of D3, a cup of coffee and 36 hours to see how good of an exploration and explanation you can come up with, this might be the job for you.

So how long till someone makes a VPN that uses Wikipedia edits as the underlying communication channel? The latency would be on the order of seconds but the throughput would be decent.

And to be blunt, I'd even claim that the middle ground is superior for most people than AWS, Cloudfare et al.

I have limited experience with AWS, but they always seem to be having problems that ruin everything that they don't acknowledge. That's what I get from people at the office who have to use it to support a particular customer. Nothing we do ever seems to run properly on it, even though our software is fine everywhere else. We're trying to push that customer off to using their own hardware, and they agreed with us that it's necessary but for different reasons.

Cloudfare, I don't even understand why anyone would use it. I understand the benefits it claims to provide, but you can get those without having an external MITM proxy that can spew information all over the Internet with one bug.
