I'm asking. If you say that you don't use the tools, I'll not give your previous opinion too much credit. If you say that you use, and that the recent updates of angular2/4/X didn't messed with your apps, I'd ask more about what have you done. Angular is completely imature, with a huge bad tasty for conventions (If someone says that RxJS is also good software, I'll first ask if they really have used it).

I see no problem in this way of arguing, do you? You have to back up your strong words in favor of something that I, as a user, have a lot of bad things to say about.

Based on reports from the field, it looks like S3 was down for about three hours for most of their customers.

S3 promises four nines of availability (11 nines of durability), so today we got about 3-4 years worth of downtime in one fell swoop. Oops.

PlayStation Vue has packages for $35/mo that include FOX, ABC, etc plus a healthy selection of channels not available OTA (including FX, etc).

YouTube's marketing here is pretty crappy, but if they're actually trying to just sell access to OTA network content for $35/mo they are insane.
Heh - did pretty much the same thing (not for medical textbooks) but included a title/keyword/first few hundred works text search thing as a Java applet, for this "Best viewed with Netscape 3!" was actually relevant! ;-)

usually they have signs that say so. It's illegal to not notify your passenger that they are being filmed. It's possible that this driver had signs (but no way to know from just the video).
It's funny that you seem to be insinuating that I am using simplistic decision trees instead of analyzing a concrete situation when you were the one who made sweeping arguments about classism and about the rich and the poor.

I did 'use the entirety of my brain power to analyze this situation and think whether something was right or wrong in this given concrete case" and I reached the conclusion that while I am not sure about the legality of it, I'd definitely consider it a dick-ish move.
Is it down again?
>as our cities reorganize around us better

The average human walks about 3mph. Let's say you should be able to cross the city in an hour, so we want a radius of 1.5mi, which yields an area of 7.1 square miles.

Manhattan's daytime population is 3.9 million. Let's put them all in those 7.1 square miles: 549,000 people per square mile [0].

The densest city in the world is Manilla, at 107,562 per square mile [1]. You're asking for more than 5x the highest density level we've ever attempted.

Walking doesn't scale. To congregate in large population centers effectively, we need fast(er) transportation methods. Granted, personal cars don't scale too well either, which is why the correct solution probably involves trains, buses, two-wheeled vehicles with varying degrees of power (bicycles, e-bikes, electric scooters, etc), and traditional cars/trucks which are too expensive for mainstream daily use but still available when needed. All dangerous for pedestrians.

Laws vary quite a bit by country, and some industries have specific rules e.g. telco/finance/pharma will have additional regulation if your app category is here.

2 general rules that will cover you in most of the world are;

1) Service messages are OK but marketing messages should have opt-in. It can be a fine line but keeping as a service announcement helps cover permissions.

2) Every email communication should have'unsubscribe'.
I think I've heard of something like this as an Emacs mode. Does that exist?
Not a problem, we can just wait for the inevitable security vulnerabilities.

May I explain my statement "I have to find a new vendor"?

As a matter of personal principle, I try to place my business and spend my money with vendors who treat their staff with respect.

I relied on BHPhotoVideo.com's visible adherence to a principle of Judaism (shutting off their shopping cart during the hours of Sabbath in New York City where they are based) as evidence of the business's commitment to treating workers respectfully.

The Sabbath commandment in the Hebrew Bible (Exodus 20:8-10) is about respect for workers. Specifically, it's about letting all workers -- even immigrants -- take a rest. It reads "Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female servant, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns."

I assumed BH's obeying the letter of this commandment kinda sorta spilled over into other sorts of respect for "the alien resident in your towns." Guess not. Too bad.
No because we have ad blockers installed :)
Advance knowledge helps: such as: knowing well prior to the initial report that your people are working on something. Or you might decide not to record the flaw until a fix is in the works.

There is so much missing in terms of transparency here. For instance: was there positive confirmation the message was received by the right people at the vendor? Was there any attempt at communication as the expiry date drew close?

Of course the onus is technically on Microsoft but Google has been at this before and it did not look clean to me at the time.

I can't believe I'm defending MS here.

I'm all for competitors keeping each other sharp but it helps to keep in mind they're competitors first.

One possible way around this is to set up something like project 0 independent of Google, Microsoft and so on and have all of them commit to contributing funding to keep it alive.
As far as I understand the S3 API of Cloud Storage is meant as a temporary solution until a proper migration to Google's APIs.

The S3 keys it produces are tied to your developer account. This means that if someone gets the keys from your NAS, he will have access to all the Cloud Storage buckets you have access to (e.g your employer's).

I use Google Cloud but not Amazon. Once I wanted a S3 bucket to try with NextCloud (then OwnCloud). I was really frightened to produce a S3 key with my google developer account.
They'll be able to do LOR in the Dragon 2, which would be ready in time. I question whether they have enough endurance for a lunar landing mission, though, and they would still have to develop a lander.
Yep.

In MY day to day, as a backend / front-end / devops guy, it isn't worth the money to buy anything better than what I have IMO.

All I do is vim, run stuff in cloud machines through ansible (SSH), and a browser.

My last MacBook Air with an i7 was better than what I have but not $2k better.
Im not disagreeing, can you explain why (or point me to reading material)? If customers aren't traveling business, won't the airline company either have to give away seats or keep them empty?
Because the TV networks don't want that, see: many of them opting out of the 3-day replay functionality on Sling. I'm sure Google does keep one copy of every show users have chosen to "record" instead of duplicating it, but networks don't want people just being able to access an entire series without effort (I'm guessing just because they are money-loving jackasses).

There are a lot of developers -- a huge amount, actually -- who believe memory management is too important to leave to an automated GC algorithm. That, and the memory requirements of a particular application might require something different than a GC provides.
it's not even categorical! A true categorical distinction requires a formal trigger to make such distinctions, what is the underlying factor that makes one public and the other not besides "the speaker says so"; otherwise it's arbitrary binning, not categorization.
You underestimate the average programmer's aversion to Lisp syntax, despite it being the clearly superior syntax.

If JavaScript had had Lisp syntax, then everyone would still be using Flash. Or some other plugin that provided a language with a more popular syntax.
Maybe you can answer a question I had for a long time. Many years ago my company got banned from adsense suspicious traffic. We got some standardised email, we mailed back and got some canned responses but no-one cared of course. I have no clue what it even means because no-one explained (besides links to vague blahblah), so 1) what does that mean? I can guess what it means, but how, if we didn't do it (and I seriously couldn't give a crap anymore at this time, but we had nothing to do with it), how can we be banned for it? Then 2) if Google can detect this traffic and qualify it, why not just delete it from the stats and leave it at that?

Edit; not saying you work there so you know it, but if you do and can say, i'm curious :)
With the zip code request I wonder if they will be making local channels a key selling point. Service like Sling TV and DirecTV Now don't do a great job of handling the networks.
I would say - just brand them as completely different services unless they are totally dependent. Just because movies are served on top of YouTube doesn't necessarily mean that they literally have to be part of YouTube website. Why not a website like "MovieTube" with its own website and brand? It makes YouTube a single focused website intended to find any/all random videos on internet and people understand when they hear "MovieTube". With YouTube Red, YouTube TV, YouTube Live, YouTube Movies, etc., it is hard to remember which is what.
Meanwhile engineers across the globe scramble to fix outages due to AWS s3, $AMZN is unaffected on the stock market. Just shows the disconnect between emotions and reality.

What’s sad here is that we’re now in an era where AI and other computers are now categorizing and approving websites. It’s no longer a volunteer-editor driven web world. Now, only a search engine algorithm decides whether or not a site is trusted. It used to be that a human approved a site, and a search engine trusted that human's opinion. No longer.

Have you done any pricing experiments? I've been tossing around some ideas about how to optimize pricing through machine learning, but I haven't been able to validate the idea at all.

It would look something like:

1. Use historical price data to determine the optimal price for each customer given what we know about them.
2. For a small number of customers (<10%), randomly adjust prices slightly to find additional data.

Once we have the data, we could find the price elasticity for customers (elasticity = % price increase / % change in purchases; so if elasticity is > 1, it makes sense to increase prices, if elasticity is < 1, you should decrease it), and use that to increase prices.

http.sys has ifdefs to support one platform, in one configuration. Meanwhile, https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-dev/2015-January/0...

The number of config permutations in openssl is staggering, and that has to have an effect on the overall test coverage - which probably affects the number of bug that pass through testing.
Hypothetically, don't you think a world where you could do that would be better? Besides this isn't exactly indirect. There is a direct line from Kalanick's decisions to this mans paycheck.
Why are you both unaware that the rate itself was in fact lowered. Straight from the article:

> In 2012, Uber Black cost riders $4.90 per mile or $1.25 per minute in San Francisco, according to an old version of Uber's website. Today, Uber charges $3.75 per mile and $0.65 per minute.

> most people don't like it, don't live it, and will not tolerate [urban density]

Some don't and won't. But others do. I live in a small apartment in the centre of Manhattan. I measure my commute in minutes, and that only because I choose to detour to the many coffee, tea, bagel, juice and breakfast-ramen-in-a-cup shops nearby. My laundry gets picked and dropped off for free, maintenance is someone else's worry and I have an abundance of city services available to me (for which I pay out the nose for through taxes). Going home to my parents' suburbia is relaxing but not how I'd like to live.

These perks I enjoy--diverse people, foods and cultural experiences nearby--are a function of density. Give us city folk more space and you reduce the number of customers within walking distance of each store, reducing their carrying capacities, thereby changing the fundamental dynamic that gives cosmopolitan life its colour.

This isn't for everyone. But lots of people willingly--aspirationally, even--move to cities. Note that chateau life is costly--many Americans don't see why their taxes should subsidise it. (Particularly when it appears to be low-income Americans paying for richer Americans' suburbs [1].) Democratic debate is how we'll find a balance.

The reasonably good news here is that PHP code tends to have a rather short life-span so the bulk of it should die off relatively fast once there is an actual alternative.

That's the puzzling bit: even Ruby, python and all the other 'better' languages still don't have the deploy situation worked out to the point that PHP has.

According to the article, the frustration comes from the fact that there is more than one commercial space company in the U.S. and SpaceX is undercutting those companies' efforts when it has yet to deliver on its own promises to NASA regarding astronaut to space station flights.

Have you ever lived in a dense, walkable city, especially one with decent mass transit and possibly bike sharing? If you live in downtown Boston (North End, South End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, Cambridge) and have to move away, you'll miss it for the rest of your life. And Boston is nothing special compared to Europe...
And yet the guy makes a comfortable living on what he does have, despite the fact that it is 100% donation driven. For me, one of the most interesting things about DF is that virtually everything is done "wrong" and it is a massive success. How many fingers do I need to count the number of people making a living off their programming art project?

Could all these things be done better? Absolutely. However, he has found a way to prioritise the things that are required to make him successful. I look at that priority list and think it's insane, but you will note that I don't receive my salary from kind hearted people who appreciate my quirky way of doing things. I get paid to do as I'm told.

It's pretty easy to think "I could do it better". WRT to DF, there are so many places you can criticise, that it's not funny. But, TBH, I don't think I could do it better, no matter how crazy I think his way of doing things is.
A dense city "works" if it has sufficient population, and Albi (<50k) apparently does not.

This is what I seem to be seeing anywhere - urbanization as all or nothing, either megapolis or countryside, since the smaller towns seemingly can't sustain many things, everything (except real estate) is more expensive and with less options available; and it's even more so with education and jobs, with many professions simply not having any companies needing them in smaller towns.

Part of my point is to look at it from the accuser's perspective.

So you're not really responding to my the point, which is that the accuser in this and the other case didn't name the person. It seems like from the accuser's perspective, a witch-hunt and the destruction of my reputation would be great. So... why not do it? It seems like the most effective path would be to absolutely destroy the other person (corroboration, witnesses, detailed accounts) before they can play defense and start smearing you.

You've spoken to and demonstrated why we shouldn't believe everything we read on the internet, which is well and good and correct. But what you haven't answered is why someone making serious accusations of this nature wouldn't name the person who has done this to them?

I don't think equality has anything to do with my point? It's more a game theoretic question.

driving for Uber is definitely entrepreneurship (source: Uh, I did Uber and Lyft for a year and a half, and did quite well, too). And it's also totally okay to complain about shitty contracting relationships. For example, the entrepreneurs of company X contracts a company Y to make some hardware, and the job is totally botched, but they can't do anything because a lawsuit is not worth the time/money.... I don't think it's unreasonable for X to bitch about Y since that provides a useful signal to others to not make the same mistake.

Not identifying with Uber drivers as entrepreneurs is a very classist attitude.
The danger of wider knowledge was significantly eclipsed by the danger of a malicious attacker finding the cached data without public knowledge.
