Well, you haven't seen Windows then - the graphics stack is phenomenal and a marvel of engineering. nVidia drivers crash? I only get a second of black screen and then resume my work. Yep, that's right - no other GUI program crashed, I didn't had to do anything, literally just 1 second of black screen.

Oh and you can have one window on two monitors and both parts of window will have full vsync - insane, huh? :)

It's scary how good Windows is.
Cloud Foundry uses Garden which uses runC. But our Garden had a container system that predated docker and nspawn. So probably another case of Not Invented Yet Syndrome.

The number of lines of Elisp my Emacs uses (counting plugins, but also built-ins) is actually more than twice the number of lines of C.

It's not that "Emacs contains an interpreter", rather it's "Emacs has all these features written in Elisp [...a looong list here...] Oh, and it also has an interpreter to execute it all".
I have no affiliation with SCiO other than I went to one of their meetups. But to counter your points:

- All spectroscopy is surface reading, with NIR penetrating somewhat deeper. But it's still up to you to prepare the sample.

- IIRC, there were 400 datapoints corresponding to 1 nm spaced wavelengths from 700-1100 nm. The models aren't super smart, correct, and need a lot of collective data to be useful. They were able to do more than you describe though (a demo they did was scan cheese for protein/fat composition, though to be fair those are trained models, probably with external data).

- It's up to you (and the other data providers) to prepare the sample correctly and test it the same way.

- Yeah, I don't know what they are thinking on this.

Don't get me wrong - I didn't find SCiO particularly useful and am not sure where it's going. But I wouldn't be surprised to see technological improvement either. That is, if they have a business model and further funding.
I'm a satisfied Meerkat owner. I've had it for almost two years now, and not a single hitch. Only minor complaint I have, is that I wish the price were lower. That would've enabled me to buy a more powerful machine. Now, I'm hurting for an upgrade and the only real economical way to get the specs that I need with hardware that's Linux-supported is building my own rig.

Here is Senator Flake's explanation:

He says he just wants to go back to "the FTC’s successful sensitivity-based framework".

You can't fix being a morning person in the morning. So tips on morning routine, setting alarm clocks and jumping out of bed don't really work.

I had always considered myself very much an evening person but have managed to become a morning person in the last year or so.

It's important to recognise that the body has 2 natural alarm clocks - needing the bathroom and hunger.

Without these urges it's easy to keep sleeping. With them it's easy to get up and stay up.

Feeling alert in the morning comes from schedule and diet

First, over a few weekends catch up on any sleep debt. Reasonably early nights and sleep in until you've had your fill. No alarms and no early starts necessary.

Then over the course of a few weeks improve your water intake. At least 2L spread across the day. Try and eliminate caffeine and sugar especially after dinner.

Ensure you are not eating dinner too late, you will not be hungry for breakfast if you're still eating late into the night.

Over time you will start to feel more alert, less groggy and get to know how many hours is best for you.

At first it takes some trial and error but finding the right balance makes it easy.

Maybe but then again scaling isn't really the immediate problem - it's building the thing in the first place, replicating should be simpler and by the time it's done who knows what the tech will be.

And while it probably won't work for everyone it will work much more reliably for those that participate in it - not just for climate change but for other catastrophe protection/isolation as well.

I don't see that working real well.

After the methane bubbles pop, the methane spreads out widely.

Before the bubbles pop, the bacteria would not quickly / easily get to where the methane is actually concentrated. They don't just dig for resources, they have to ride along with some other process (like water flow).
If you were in the program management side of a big interplanetary probe and got on the project in the planing stages, you really could lose decades worth of work, though probably not if it failed on the launchpad. The worst case would be getting it all the way to its destination and having something go wrong there.

When you look at the many different potential sources of, "Fucked... goodbye..." the trend is very clear. We're juggling apocalypses and just waiting to find one that will stick.

I support the notion that the government shouldn't control what we put into our bodies, but the counter is the burden to society because of the medical costs.

I'd bet insurance companies would fight hard to reject coverage for anyone who publicly takes a non-FDA drug. If society supported the use of them, then they'd also have to support the aftermath, just like veterans.
That's exactly why affirmative action exists:

I believe there was a bug in the clear space cache. This could cause the system to think it didn't have free blocks... you'd have to mount another device to create more space in order to rebalance and fix.

Eventually I saw a bug fix report about a corruption in the cache... I never investigated to see if my current kernel has the fix.

You're missing the main point of the argument. It's not a loophole.

There are a certain number of criteria for employees vs contractors, based on whether training/equipment is provided, price setting, ability to turn down jobs, etc etc.

If you're classified as an employee, there are a bunch of things you have to do, such as collect GST, deal with health care, sick days, paternity leave, taxes, etc.

Uber is making the case that its drivers are contractors, since they set their own hours and purchase and maintain all their own equipment. It's a plausible argument, and that's something for the courts to sort out.

Just saying that they need to collect GST because the drivers are employees is begging the question.

If Uber drivers are classified as employees, what's next? Upwork and eLance workers classified as employees?

Makes some valid points. However, doesn't reference some really interesting tech companies in the space already doing massive good like http://www.crisistextline.org/. And knowing some of the history there, it is more about governments and social providers that are resistant to tech as opposed to tech not wanting to solve the issues.
Perhaps another useful comparison would be to look at statistics from Mexico, and elsewhere, today - the places where we manufacture now and are, ostensibly, trying to bring back jobs from.

We have both out of necessity. IAM policies on roles/users/groups are a given, but here are some concrete examples of what we're using resource policies for:

- Granting cross-account access to resources without requiring an explicit sts:AssumeRole on the other side (in some cases for things like CloudTrail and billing reports this is the only option)

- Enforcing SSE on S3 buckets (implemented as a DENY in the bucket policy with conditions to check for missing SSE headers)

Apropos Dune quote: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
This assumes that rides outnumber drivers so that drivers can be picky. In practice tho, it should be the other way around: drivers should be choosing between a paid ride to "bad" destination, and no ride for some time while they're waiting. You can trivially teach the algorith to give better rides to less choosy drivers first.

Second, if you still have amateur drivers on your platform who do ad-hoc carpooling, chances that they're looking for an one-way drive to the same "bad" destination because they have further non-cab business there. You can teach the algorithm to offer a selection of rides to such drivers for their first ride in a few hours. Or even let them to specify where they want to go. Maybe it's already implemented by someone?

And yes - Uber price is always unpredictable for a rider, so why not just factor in destination desirability into it?
> I don't know the actual performance of commercial Lisps like Allegro Common Lisp and LispWorks, but I imagine it is quite good, given that they stay in business.

Performance is not one easy number. Applications have different performance requirements.
In many benchmarks for typed or type inferred code SBCL tends to be slightly faster with less programming effort.

Fast can mean for example:

* fastest possible execution of optimized code

Then one might not care about code size, code safety, robustness, threading capability, interrupts, .

* fast execution of non-optimized robust, flexible, reflective, debuggable code.

Allegro CL and LispWorks integrate a lot of features. These features are provided over some amount of platforms, with only few restrictions. They provide relatively good performance of a native code compiler. Some robustness is needed for commercial applications, thus I would expect an advantage there.
In the age of casual pseudoscience influencing the general public (homeopathy, the surge of meditation apps and methods, the supplement industry) then sure, Dennett is the odd man out. But from a hard science standpoint his is a hard philosophy to refute.

Not a US citizen, but I would vote for Rand Paul if I was and had the option to do so, even in the 2016 presidential primaries. Why? He's, among the current set of senators on both sides, the most libertarian one and, despite not being a purist on the level of his father, I consider him worthy of the Paul surname. It's impossible to predict something down to this fine graining, but I agree with Rand on the issues he lists at [1] and he has a record of standing against NSA spying [2].

Congrats on your launch! Your site is well-designed. And definitely, I'm thinking that building in some social features should be my next step. One idea I have is adding a timeline for each of your plants so you can see how they've grown over time, and then letting you share those timelines with your friends.

I may be being a bit dense, but if your client device contains a root that goes off-reservation, how does it ever receive a revocation notice? Doesn't everything that chains to that root via a valid chain still get trusted?

Flake's article is full of spin. The FCC declaring ISPs common carriers wasn't about "stealing" regulatory control over privacy from the FTC, it was the only way they could make headway on net neutrality. If Congress wanted to give responsibility for this back to the FTC, that's what they should be voting on, this doesn't do that. Using the rollback is just lazy.

Edit: Oh, and Telecom Services was the largest donor industry to Flake's leadership PAC (not necessarily corruption, donors give money to politicians who already agree with them too).

> The team had a quota of 420 dashboard frames per shift but seldom made more than 350

For me, one of the most thought-provoking expressions of the perspective of the factory worker came from the Studs Terkel book, Working, where he interviewed a factory worker and UAW local president named Gary Bryner in the early 1970s or late 1960s. Bryner:

"In that little book of quotes I have: 'The workingman has but one thing to sell, his labor. Once he loses control of that, he loses everything.'" ...

"They use time, stopwatches. They say ... We know it takes so many seconds to shoot a screw. We know the gun turns so fast, the screw's so long, the hole's so deep. Our argument has always been: That's mechanical; that's not human."

"The workers said, We perspire, we sweat, we have hangovers, we have upset stomachs, we have feelings and emotions, and we're not about to be placed in a category of a machine. When you talk about that watch, you talk about it for a minute. We talk about a lifetime. We're gonna do what's normal and we're gonna tell you what's normal. We'll negotiate from there. ..."

"If the guys didn't stand up and fight, they'd become robots too. They're interested in being able to smoke a cigarette, bullshit a little bit with the guy next to 'em, open a book, look at something, just daydream if nothing else. You can't do that if you become a machine. / Thirty-five, thirty-six seconds to do your job - that includes the walking, the picking up of the parts, the assembly. Go to the next job, with never a letup, never a second to stand and think. The guys at our plant fought like hell to keep that right."

...

I'm not sure how much factory work is still like that, but imagine if that was your job today ... or for 8 hours per day, for the rest of your life.
It is a little confusing because we are talking about both rendering and GUIs, but ... "retained mode" in this case refers to the GUI itself, not the method of drawing. Motif and Xlib are "retained mode" in the GUI sense because if you want there to be a button, you instantiate that button and register it with the library, and then if you want it to become visible or invisible or change color you call procedures that poke values on that instantiated button. In IMGUI you don't preinstantiate; you just say "draw a button now" and if you don't want it to be visible, you just don't draw it, etc.

I think that's a somewhat fair comment, and a t0pic worthy of discussion. According to wikipedia[0],

In economics and particularly in industrial organization, market power is the ability of a firm to profitably raise the market price of a good or service over marginal cost. In perfectly competitive markets, market participants have no market power.

I'm pretty sure I don't have the exact facts on what Uber's operating agreement with drivers is, but I always thought a given driver could choose to only drive during surge pricing, no? We always tried to manage our drivers for an elastic supply of capacity (much like an ad exchange). Otherwise, we'd be overwhelmed like the under-covered transport problem in Austin during SXSW (I believe a result of the lack of Uber availability). Uber's radio adverts explicitly state that it's "drive when you want for extra money," and if that is not what they actually offer then Lyft has a huge opportunity to acquire/retain more/better drivers and maintain a rapid ability to scale for capacity.

I am of the belief that Uber presents a unique opportunity to rethink the whole structure of unions in the US (I don't actually care if Canada bans Uber altogether, for example, I am more interested in the concepts themselves), and maybe a total rethink about how to organize labor.

I would have interest in building a commercial platform to help labor organize and coordinate themselves better (that they own) in the modern world. I think it would look like a gated digital community with microblogging, discussion, and voting functions.

Another thing to consider is that I worked the system in New York City. And the system in NYC has a fair amount of access and resources, if you work it right. Why not create a similar amount of access and resources at Howard University?

I don't see that as traditional Affirmative Action, which we primarily think of happening during an admissions process. This is just creating more channels to resources in tech, which is entirely reasonable, even from a conservative economics perspective.
