In CAD they manifest themselves as a bunch of boxes in which you are allowed to put your shapes, so it's not overly taxing for the engineers to follow. However there is a risk that the 'box' layer is not done correctly at the beginning of the season and you end up missing something important.

The limit on computing power encourages you to think more carefully about what a certain component is interacting with the rest of the car. A few years ago I remember a CFD engineer running a massive DoE with hundreds of cases to get his stats up for the week when there was spare capacity in the cluster. If the limit were removed I doubt there would be any increase in innovation, just way more carpet bombing with parametric designs.

I just had a quick scan through it but fascinating the depth and breadth of criteria. There's a table with about ~60 different room environments from lounge, galley, to actual workstations and the level that the room should be illuminated, and for workstation rooms, the reflectance of different materials in the room.

Grey flesh or skin can be the result of either applying too much carotenes to the diet; or maybe (I'm speculating in this second point) because its diet was high in vegetable protein contents (using soy as replacement for marine proteins is cheaper).
Yup :) though I'm more interested in biopsies information, because they give a better understanding of cellular architecture, and if they're stained against markers, the molecular biology of the cancer.

Mammogram analysis is an essential first-line, but I think doctors need better insight in treatment options and finer stratification. An early Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia, for example, is usually treated as pre-pre-cancer, but we might be able to identify a subtype of these lesions that progress on to more aggressive stages.

My side projects always come from personal needs, in each case I built it to solve my own problem before turning it in to a full product (summaries below). If you are going in with the sole intention of making money then make sure you know that there is a need for what you want to make and that you can get your project in front of people.

You don't need to use the latest and greatest tech, in fact, I would urge you don't. For front end you can stick to simple JQuery interactions, bootstrap theme and you'll be fine, depending on the market sector you go for they may not even care about the design, so long as it's functional.

Summary of my project and where they came from:

http://www.oneqstn.com, before launching our company's product I put the question "Where would you expect to buy the Radfan?" on the shop page and then 5 options. I expanded this on its own dedicated domain and 5 years later it's still ticking along. Very popular in the middle east for some reason.

http://www.stockcontrollerapp.com, I manage in-house production of my company's hardware product and after moving from an Excel spreadsheet to a Python script I decided to make a stock management app for small factories. Has made my work life much easier and is more appropriate for me than Unleashed.

http://www.taptimerapp.com, I didn't like any of the timer apps that I had tried so made my own mainly for use in the gym. All the others had too small touch targets, hard to see at a distance/without glasses on, or stopped music playing when the timer finished so I made an app that addressed these.
Hmm... The Packt Publishing POP book is good and actually it looks like they just came out with the Swift 3 version! I only have the Swift 2 version but it really compares the POP method with OOP and shows it's strengths and pitfalls.

Love this article but think the headline actually makes the wrong point - this is a product management issue, not a "it may never happen" issue. That it takes someone like James to know two wildly different domains - both the business-level details at risk (a $1M generator is worth potentially damaging if the alternative is a guaranteed $100M revenue loss) and the details of power engineering (overriding the switch only risks the generator, not a datacenter fire or loss of life) - is a shame.

Could the power engineering team have made this tradeoff more clear to the project managers doing the initial install? And yet, exposing a million little configuration options to the end-user isn't the right approach either.
This particular case isn't a great example because the customer posted one rude comment in a forum. I'm ignoring the bad review, since that's not good reasoning to part ways. Basically this customer hadn't yet crossed a line that would irk me.

However, to me, there is a line. "The customer is always right" can't be literal.

I have no issue parting ways, with a full refund, for toxic customers that repeatedly use abusive language with my employees. Especially when it's not relative to the situation. These kind of customers do exist. It's not common, but do e-commerce long enough and you'll run into one.

There are also (not often) customers that engage in return fraud or other activity that is just obvious cause to avoid them in the future.

> It doesn't imply that the customer didn't get what they paid for.

Euh that's exactly what's happening here. If the company bricks the product you bought it's a net loss. So you're definitely not getting what you paid for.
The analogy would work only if you decided to do before anything was bought (impossible of course) or refund them 100%.
Very well written. The thing that scares me about this thing in particular is what happens if Uber stops subsidizing the drivers after one year and says they need to increase prices by 75% moving forward. In all of these things there is a switching cost. Would the city be able to switch back? What if Uber drivers unionize or stop driving if their wages drop too low? Uber has to hope new drivers sign up and the city can do nothing about this. I think the big thing the the city is losing is control and that may easily be worth the money. It is also quite possible that some efficiencies in the busing program could pay higher dividends. I also fear that decisions like this are being done to be cool not because they are best for the community.
Grid shipped in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari in the last month: it really does mean the latest version, currently. Anything older doesn't have Grid support (okay, ignoring IE/Edge and their prefixed implementation of ~2010 draft which has little in common with what has now shipped elsewhere).

Basically a plug-and-play transport for IPFS.

Companies like Uber (or Lyft for that matter) may go up in smoke but the idea of mobile ride-hailing and having an elastic fleet is so compelling that someone else will fill the void. The convenience factor is so astounding that the problem of economic sustainability will get solved one way or another.

I was recently in several Asian cities where the public transit was excellent and taxis were plentiful, but I still found it really useful having an app for those point-to-point transportation needs. Even though the rides sometimes cost the same or more than taxi rides, apps reduce friction and variability in terms of payment methods, language, route accountability, etc. and that is worth something. Ride-hailing apps don't just sell low-priced rides, they sell a lower variability experience.

There are players other than Uber in Asian markets (I used Grab) which have even better value propositions, so Uber is kept in check in those places.

It is true however that the economics does not work out at the moment (it's all investor subsidized, so there is a huge distortion in the market), but if we are able to avoid a monopoly situation, I suspect the market will right itself.
“No, Republicans didn’t just strip away your Internet privacy rights” – Ajit Pai
All media is necessarily biased because it can't show everything. Ideally we'd weight what we consume by its truth value and build up a multi-dimensional picture of reality.

We're living with a president who believes that reality is defined by what's on TV, and that by controlling the narrative, you can control what's perceived to be true.

In this mindset, truth in media is irrelevant. What matters is the story the media tells, and if it's in your favour it's good, if it's not it's "biased". Since all media is biased, it's easy to tell the "bias" story; you just pick out the bits of the story that are missing, or overly stressed, or the tone, or whatever.

It's an easy game to play.
good point, I just re-read the article and you're right. They must be approaching the problem from a theoretical basis.

No, use anycast or VRRP/CARP for Postgres servers. Use a watchdog script to monitor for master failure. When it fails, the secondary/slave IP becomes live. Watchdog script should take necessary action to make it recognize it is master/writable. Clients don't have to know what happened.

Bringing the master back live and making it primary is a more difficult task. I would not want to automate this anyway as it would be too easy to shoot your foot off.

> Yeah. The "mainstreaming" of sci-fi has been kind of a mixed blessing. We got all the PEW PEW PEW lasers and blinking computer lights but none of the thought-provoking stuff.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but then I also saw a couple of big Hollywood sci-fi movies this winter that were actually thought-provoking.

1. Arrival - adaptation of a really challenging short story. Drops most of the physics stuff, but keeps the linguistics, and the human element. Only adds a little action.

2. Passengers - lots of action, but centers around an ethical conundrum that will give you plenty to talk about afterwards.

Agree on the new Star Trek reboot. It really offers me nothing of what I like about Star Trek.
Love this game - can't wait to start using this in production - in about two-three years ^^
Pai makes a lot of questionable arguments:

The FCC’s regulations weren’t about protecting consumers’ privacy. They were about government picking winners and losers in the marketplace. If two online companies have access to the same data about your Internet usage, why should the federal government give one company greater leeway to use it than the other?

1. Is he implying that the previous FCC was intentionally boosting content providers over ISPs? What motivation would they even have for doing this?

2. Content providers and ISPs do not directly compete with each other in the course of their primary business, so in what respect does the rule create winners and losers in the marketplace?

I suppose he could mean in the advertising marketplace. I guess I would prefer that both Facebook and Comcast be losers in that marketplace though.

3. Two online companies do not have access to the same data. Facebook has data + metadata for any interaction you have with their platform. Your ISP has metadata for interactions you have with any platform, along with data for any plaintext interactions. This is a massive difference in scale.

Users have the choice not to use Facebook, and thus not provide them with data. Users do not have the choice to access the internet without making use of a public utility (i.e. their ISP).

He cites an expert saying:

Rather, the most commercially valuable information about online users . . . is coming from other contexts,” such as social-media interactions and search terms.

I can see how user-shared data might be considered more commercially valuable, but this misses the point about the differences in the kinds of data we are talking about. When someone publishes on social media, they're making an explicit choice to share information with the public.

When that same person visits a website, it is not commonly understood that this act might reveal personal information (though end-users ought to be more aware of this). Consider a teenager doing research on pregnancy tests -- they do not intentionally publish information, but the metadata (webpages visited, time of visits, etc) is potentially revealing.
Because "you" want to sell something to the average Joe or grandma, who wants to just plug it to the power and to the garage, and be done.

There are many cases where the cell phone won't be in the same WiFi of the appliance and on those cases you can:

1 - use some intermediate service: cell phone app <--> cloud <--> appliance

2 - Cell phone app <--> VPN to your WiFi network <--> appliance

3 - Cell phone app <--> router/modem with open ports or redirect ports ou DMZ <--> appliance.

The solution "1" is under your (seller) control, so that it's easy to provide.

Solutions 2 and 3 (and perhaps some others) need intervention from the customer, in some complicated settings. Use it and you'll surely limit your market.

The first (second?) company that creates a protocol fro their modem/router that allows a simple configuration of IoT devices to your cell will make money. You know, like WPS was created to make it easy to connect new devices to your WiFi.
What happened to Grasswire
I haven't seen any either. I makes me wonder if people are using pirated versions of Windows and Microsoft has figured out a way to know this reliably and target them with ads.

The flip side of this is when you're on vacation and your small-town municipal office calls you and asks if you're filling a pool, as their system has detected and flagged a constant usage over a XX hour period. In my case it was the toilet I flushed right before we left for vacation. It had been running since we left. Their call meant that I could call a family member to go over to our house and find the source of the issue, saving us hundreds of dollars in water usage. It also caused me to start digging into the communications protocol for our electric and water meters [1]. Unfortunately a recent software upgrade has enabled encryption by default on the electric meter transmissions, so I'm only able to decode water meter now, and I'm not sure how long that will last.

Edit: Here's the screenshot of usage data they sent me when I inquired [2]. The dropoff on 7/25 is when our family member shut off water to the running toilet.

It's starts with an almost reasonable argument that the FTC would be more competent at enforcing privacy policy violations, only to segue in, what amounts to "If Facebook can sell your data, Verizon should get to too!"

He rationalizes this by claiming that user-action data (search, post, etc) is more valuable than browsing data.

Nothing in this article justifies the change in any manner that benefits consumers. In fact, it explicitly states the change was all about helping ISPs make money.

Wow, the article itself is a spin piece like the ones it claims came out recently. Saying that ISPs should not be regulated because Google or Facebook isn't is totally disingenuous. Everything HAS to go through your ISP, there is not choice. They even claim there IS choice in ISPs which is blatantly false for a lot of people, and very limited for everyone else.

The ISP should provide a way to route and transfer data and nothing more. They are not a content provider and they are not an ad provider - but they want to be. What they really want is to implement MITM attacks to gather data and ad-injection for additional revenue. We shall have to overcome that in the near future too.
