This is also partly a reply to cardamomo's post. I imagine that tracking the routes commuters actually take is a great way to find the better routes.

Its not about honeypot its about price. Few days ago I saw a page here linking to a software for simple image editing, I think it was PhotoBulk. I downloaded the trial, it does what i need, sells for $9. I googled for a serial and it doesnt exist, except malware websites. I searched for freeware alternatives and there are so many, Ill have to find some time to inspect which does the job. Didnt include shell batch scripts, there are dozen of those.

The lesson is: if that software advertised here sold for 1 or 2 dolars I'd buy it. I could buy it for $9 as well, but I could do that only once. Tomorrow I cant pay again $9 for other software because this cycle of instaling software never ends and I dont produce money.
I have not been employed for a long time.

So that honeypot page would be useless.
Question: it is ok to initialize a string_view from a string literal, right?

e.g.

Cindy and Denny are probably the hardest-working and most persistent people I know. Experiment's early history is the epitome of pg's advice in "How Not to Die."

They're also just genuinely nice and fun people. I don't think I've ever heard them gossip about other founders, and think I've maybe heard them say a total of one or two bad things about others (which were justified). One time they turned their office into an after-hours coffee shop so people could hang out while working.

This is what happens when you give people arbitrary power over others with no training on civil rights, and task them with maintaining "security" (at all costs). There is a pervasive, contagious attitude in the security sector: We do whatever we want (in the name of security) and anyone who doesn't get in line and submit to our, eg, invasive body scan, can pound sand. It doesn't matter what their motive is--they deserve to be treated badly for not submitting, or because our machine says they might be a Terrorist.

I've been in SF again (temporarily) for the last 3 months and getting the Bay Area Bike Share annual membership was one of the first things I did. At $88 / year, it paid for itself after the first 20 round-trips vs. taking Muni.

Pros:

For my particular commute (home to Caltrain & back 2-3x a week) it has worked great - there's a rack across the street from home and two adjacent to Caltrain.

Perhaps due to the alleged low ridership, I have only had two instances of not finding available bikes; once when I left somewhat late in the morning (~ 11am), and last week when there were 7 bikes, but the rack was broken and wouldn't release them.

Cons:

As others have stated, the bikes are pretty heavy. It's fine on flat surfaces, but on slight inclines you will definitely work harder. For most of the non-hilly areas they're fine though.

General maintenance: I find the shifters often out of alignment and components like seats, shifters, handgrips seem to be wearing out faster than I would expect for relatively new bikes.

Rack distribution: This is being fixed, but right now, the sparse distribution of racks coupled with the 30 minute trip limitation (without paying more) means it's mainly useful for that specific trip. It's not practical, for example to ride 2 miles to Safeway for groceries since it would run past the 30 minute window to get it back to the originating rack. (Also the logistics of securing an expensive-to-replace bike in a bike-theft-heavy area).

Overall, if you have two frequent destinations served by the racks, it's a great alternative to Muni. Again, for my case, I consistently ride to Caltrain in ~ 10-11 minutes (tracked on the site) vs. 20-45 minutes on SF's abysmal (IMO) public transit.
more bicycle, pedestrian only grade-separated crossings would really improve bicycle safety and travel times.

these bicycle tunnels and (less commonly) bridges are common in late-20th century planned communities like The Woodlands and Kingwood in Texas.

Oh no, if you were exposed to a naked source of the type used to test the limits of organisms like tardigrades... you'd just die. Really, really, really quickly.
That's a good point actually, but the scooters are far more dangerous to both pedestrians and cyclists than the cyclists are to the pedestrians. Most pedestrian-cyclist collisions end with a 'sorry' or a bunch of cursing, rarely with an ambulance.
Very interesting.

I have to ask - with 80 clusters, do you set up a cluster per customer? Or do you put multiple customers on the same cluster?

Can you talk a bit more about how you've set up your workload queues in the Redshift WLM? I can spot at least three different workloads in your post:

1) loads into Redshift
2) transformations once data is in Redshift
3) customer ad-hoc queries

And then what node type do you use for your 80 clusters? I'm asking because the smaller dense-compute clusters offer more I/O, which helps a lot when you're loading data into the cluster.
They are in fact just that. They are slow, heavy, and bullet proof.

I've touched on this elsewhere, but here's the crux of the problem:

Racking servers, even if they're cylindrical, is actually much easier than building an entire real-time image rendering pipeline from scratch.

The chassis that we co-designed and had made works out to a few hundred dollars per machine, since we aren't buying in giant quantity. When you talk about servers that run 24/7 and cost between $5k-25k per box, that's not the dominant expense by any measure. It's also been picked up by some other companies to use, which is always nice to see -- we aren't keeping it as a proprietary solution, anyone can buy it from our vendor.

Either way we decided to go, we would still be solving both the image rendering and machine racking / operation problems simultaneously to different degrees. As it sits now, we have about 4-5x the number of infrastructure and imaging engineers as we have datacenter managers / technicians on staff. As it should be, I think.

This design decision is actually part of our advantage, in that it allows us to deliver more functionality to our customers at a lower price per unit on the backend. There's always room for improvement, and we continue to iterate on it -- some day the Macs will probably be gone from the datacenter, but only when it's the right move to make.
I've been a bicycle commuter in both London and SF. I used my own bicycle but I still had a Barclays (Santander?) Bike membership for random use. The difference in London is that it's flat, and 30 minutes gives you a pretty good range. And for longer trips you have much better transport options via tube, bus, tram, train, etc. Also because of the narrower streets and congestion, biking feels safer and driving simultaneously much less convenient. In London the cycle share scheme is a great short distance connector that regular people can use, in SF people use Uber/Lyft for the same purpose because Muni sucks.
This is one of the best suggestions I've seen in this thread.

Not only does it let you get the message out, but it also lets you track the proportion of licensed/cracked software in circulation. If your cracked versions overwhelm licensed versions, you know that your price is too high.
Xiaomi Rumours
In the neighboring few months we expect a presentation of one of the most eagerly anticipated smartphones in 2017 Xiaomi Mi6. The Chinese company has already been featured not far away away off from several lists as its devices were considered along amid the most productive smartphones going on for the assistance.
That's a good question.

A similar service (Pronto) did not succeed in Seattle, as mentioned in the article.

I wonder if the other top cities (DC, NYC, Boston, Chicago) are actually succeeding, or if they are just subsidized by the city.
I've used cycle schemes in London, Dublin and Vilnius. I was going to provide a breakdown on how I used it in each city, but it's all about the same:

For short trips it's usually quicker than other forms of public transport, and you get excercise! Plus in the summer it's a lot more comfortable to have fresh air than be cramped on a sweaty bus or train.

The idea of these bikes isn't to run arrands or go on an afternoon trip (you usually only get 30 mins free then its around $/£/€1 per hour) but just as another way of getting from A to B.
There will always be software bugs. What I'm trying to say is that people should be made liable for avoidable bugs due to incompetence or ill-placed personal preferences ("Real programmers write in C!11").

There are times when C is unavoidable, unfortunately, but when somebody chooses a technology regardless of better, safer alternatives, "just because", they should be made liable, absolutely.

Hello HN, Euwyn here, president and co-founder of Spin. I'm 2x YC, our CEO Derrick was formerly at Lyft, and our CTO was at Disqus (YC 07). I helped to start this company in part because of my own personal annoyance with the design of "station-based" bike-share systems. Who thought that having to _find a station_, then think about whether your _destination_ had a station close-by was a good idea?

We just had a huge launch in Austin at SXSW, and just announced a deal with the City of Austin. See:

https://www.fastcoexist.com/3068900/this-new-stationless-bik...

https://blog.spin.pm/spin-partners-with-the-city-of-austin-5...

We're hiring for everything (city GMs, ops, engineers, GR, etc), and love hearing from people who are passionate about having this in their city. We're particularly interested in hearing from folks in SF, where we're based, where the City is considering a measure that would hamper station-less bike-share systems.

These are the same bikes we have in Chicago as Divvy, right? I can't imagine trying to ride one in S.F. The things weigh upwards of 40 pounds.

I think the Capital bike share data in DC might be highly skewed because A. DC is super small, and B. The bikes for sharing are basically all over the National Mall, which is a massive tourist spot and they are almost a perfect fit for tourists looking to see sites there - via a lovely long gravel path, not busy city streets. If I were visiting Chicago as a tourist and in the loop, a Divvy would not draw me at all. There's nothing but cabs and angry office drones walking randomly into the street.

Though I suppose that doesn't skew the data, it just means it's a better fit for a tourism environment than commuter infrastructure.
I think that's exaggerating it a bit.

I managed to install Tensorflow with CUDA on Windows just by following theirs official installation guides.

Sample size is far too small, 10X that number-- you'll have broader/deeper feedback. Understand that submitting job board applications is a time suck & energy drain.

Suggest shifting strategy, focus efforts on getting in-person meetings with people you can help (i.e. Managers, Directors, VP's of Engineering, CIO's) Get out of your house. Start attending networking events (Conferences, Meet-ups, Hackathons). Reach out to alumni from your program.
Could you specify the dom nodes that would be created and leave the API that JSX desugars to/calls into in order to create them unspecified?

Because stupid me was thinking that people who are looking for discount / free do not have money (students, financial difficulties, etc.) and they need help. No - that is not the case. Majority of people who are looking for discount / free are pathological.
Limited roll out in a market you understand first.
To me this seems like an odd way to approach customer acquisition. If I offer a service or product to what I assume are reasonable, rational, intelligent human beings, the deal is this: you pay me what I ask and you get the service I'm offering at that price. No other deal, accommodation, or offer is on the table. My services don't include being your therapist, your mother, your whipping boy, or anything other than a person who will sell you a product or service and treat you with the respect you're accorded as a fellow human being in the world.

Your status as a customer gives you no more rights than that. You are not, by virtue of being my customer, excused the normal standard of interaction with a social equal. You are not entitled to take my offering without recompense. You are not entitled to abuse me or in any other way behave in an uncivilized manner.

If that arrangement is not amaenable to you because you suffer from a deficiency of character or intelligence, that's not something I feel obligated to accommodate.
The Americans I met who visited different part of Europe were not comfortable here. They said about different culture, everything is too slow, shops close too early, it was like moving to Mars to some.

It would be easier if your company provided help, but much harder without that help.
Try to learn from those American people who visited Europe and read both positive and negative feedback they left.

You work in one of the best places.
We do run our own CDN at Netlify, and that's what allow us to serve the actual HTML pages out of edge caches while handling atomic deploys and instant cache invalidation.

This matters less when you test from New York (where Smashing Magazine hosts their Wordpress version of the site).

Here's how the performance difference looks like for people in Melbourne:

https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/dbYpJA/https://www.smashingmaga...
https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/exYLwO/https://next.smashingmag...

The most important part of this difference comes from Netlify delivering the complete initial HTML in less than 100ms compared to more than 2 seconds wait time for the initial HTML load on the Wordpress version.

I'm sure Smashing will see an noticeable uptick in engagement in many parts of the world due to this (it's an effect we've seen before).

(PS. Movable Type's approach was awesome, but the infrastructure around doing static deploys and full static builds was just not up to the task back then, and browsers were way more primitive, so you would end up needing a monolithic dynamic site for just about anything with some form of user interacion)
Nothing really matters ?
The telcos are running utilities and should be regulated like utilities. And they should especially be regulated this way if they are heavily subsidized build the infrastructure in the first place.
Is the limit there longer? Here (EU) we have 1h (or maybe 2h, not sure) limit which is enough for errands. Not that it helps me much as the stations are a bit sparse around the places which are interesting to me, but I can't believe they limited time to 30 mins in SF.

Perhaps providing a parser from something like the tagged template literals[1] from e.g. 'tag `string interpolation`' could be used. For ones lacking a tag, a specially named variable could be looked for (e.g. something like __xml_parser__ ) , it would be up to the program to set that global.

if would mean that jsx would look something like

function helloEl() {return jsx <div> Hello ${name}! </div>}

as opposed to

function helloEl() {return <div> Hello {name}! </div>}

It would be a bit different though in what is actually going on though. The top example would just desugar to

jsx.div(`Hello ${name}`)

jsx would be looked up like any other variable. So you could just define it in global scope to point to ReactDOM

I first mention that JS has been actually successful in non-glue areas :) Dynamic languages are hard to scale, but it is possible after some headaches.

The lack of quality library also means that you are even more risky when you are writing a small program (because you have less incentive to write it yourself). I have experienced multiple times that even the existing libraries (including the standard ones) had crucial flaws and no one seems to be bothered to fix that. Also in the embedded setting the use of snippets, rather than proper libraries, are more common as libraries can be harder to integrate, and unfortunately we are left with PHP-esque lua-users.org for Lua...
