Oh the tired old accusation of "that's just a ______ fallacy", the rest of my comment is simply pointing to that fact that the publication is not one whose business model is clickbait a la Buzzfeed. There is no claim of "authority" in that.
I can also recap:

- You suggest there are even parts ill-informed SJW bandwagoning and blanket label application in regards to the uber issue.
- I ask why people would assume people are ill-informed about this uber situation.
- You talk broadly about society but don't address the question about uber.
- I ask if you feel like your views about society apply to the current uber situation.
- You claim people are uninformed again.
- I ask you why you think your views about society are linked to the situation surrounding uber.
- You state I'm trying to lead away from your point (which being on a post about uber is presumably somehow linked to uber).
- I say I'm trying to figure out how you think your view links to Uber.
- You recap the situation without mention of uber.

Now here we are I guess?
I think ideal for me would be some sort of hassle free micro-payment if some form of it ever really caught on. With all the paywalls going up I really wouldn't mind paying a small bit for some of the quality content out there, but I'm not gonna sign up for a subscription to every site on the internet nor give them my info.
Sort of. Strict null checking now lets you distinguish between the types Foo[] and (Foo | undefined)[]. The first will type with the assumption that there are no out of bounds indices (which, as you say, could be wrong). The second will require you to always check the result of array dereferences to see if they're undefined before you reference the object.

var foos1 = [] as Foo[],
foos2 = [] as (Foo | undefined)[];

// ... later

var foo1 = foos1[i],
foo2 = foos2[i];

foo1.bar(); // types fine, TS assumes non-undefined
foo2.bar(); // TS type error, as you haven't checked undef
if (foo2) foo2.bar(); // types fine, undef excluded

We enjoyed Blue Apron for quite a while and had the same experience as you with trying new recipes and techniques. After about 6 months, there was a lot of almost-repeats in the menu and so we dropped it because:

My big problem with Blue Apron was the quality of the meats, especially the beef, was often horrific. I get that they need to hit a price point, but meat that is inedible is not a value at any price. A few packages of chicken were high-quality but arrived compromised making for a dicey "do we still eat it anyway, because it seems like it's still cold enough?" and "rotten chicken juice smells awful until the trash pickup day". We never got sick from it.

Ultimately, it was an OK experience. Very good for variety and giving us new ideas. Bad for value-for-price, ultimate protein quality, and wasteful (by necessity) packaging.

Probably a dozen of the dishes served as inspiration for on-going meals we continue to make with higher quality, locally procured ingredients, so we definitely got something out of it, but probably should have cancelled earlier.
Yep. I'm pretty sure Motorola licensed it for the phone family of the same name. A huge number of pages advertising or even mentioning the Motorola Droid family have "DROID is a trademark of Lucasfilm, Ltd." somewhere in the fine print.

Please read my second paragraph.

Compassion isn't fairness. Fairness isn't the only criterion we should make decisions on. However, I was responding to the comment about it being fair, which to be honest, none of the replies have addressed and instead gone on tangents about why it might be a good idea for other reasons.

But also, what, compassion for their child being sick but not me having to defend myself against, eg, an unfair ticket?

Seems a very narrow kind of compassion. Why doesn't compassion apply to the legal case?

I'm looking at it from a lay scientist perspective with this. They're blasting it with lasers, it's internally unstable, things are flowing out of it, and evidence of negative mass is that it moved in direction different than expected. There's a lot of variables here that might cause that movement that have to be eliminated. Maybe they have but experiments like this leave me uncertain about the outcome.

Note: Also, they should look for integer/floating-point errors in the measurement code while they're at it. ;)

Much prefer decent native/immutable adversiting. I don't care for 'smart' ads. I don't want ads following me around the web, because they tend to advertise things that either I already know/have or decided that I don't care for. That's how 'smart' algorithmic advertising has been working. I never got influenced into clicking that Amazon product ad that followed me through dozens websites or that crowdufing product that's on Twitter/Facebook. If a brand wants to reach me, they better find a good narrative and publisher that gets me to manage the relationship. Not plant some cookie and try to guess my taste based on pages I've been to.
Water is another good analogy. When you turn on a tap/faucet, the water that comes out is the water that was just sitting there in that last few inches of pipe, it didn't come all the way from the city's dam in that time.

Also with waves in water; put a ball floating at the beach and it'll mostly stay put bobbing up and down. (It's only when the waves actually break that there is substantial movement of actual "bits" of water.)
For me, something's not right with Google search results
I'm really struggling with Google searches right now. Almost every search today seems to be returning pages of stuff to buy. Something's up.

Is it a recent change in Google's search algo, bad personalization or local malware?

For example, I'm looking for photos of attractive women in cocktail dresses as inspiration for a new painting. I search 'women in cocktail dresses' and get pages of department store catalog crap. Even after adding 'candid photo' and other similar qualifiers.

'Office Christmas party' results in pages of crap sites selling DVDs or hosting reviews for some Jennifer Aniston movie of that same title. Yeah, I can see some of that, but pages and pages of this as the top results from Google. Maybe I'm going crazy, but it doesn't feel right.

'women dressed up for night out' is better, but still plenty of Macy's, Nordstrom and similar.

As a test, I tried 'photo of a boy flying kite' with similarly disappointing results. Image hits were a lot of clip-art style drawings and top web hits are mostly stock photo sites.

From my POV, Google has totally sold out.

I realize it's possible that maybe it's trying to customize to my taste (doing a bad job I must say) or maybe I have some sort of malware/adware which is somehow rewriting my searches locally.

Has anyone else experienced this? Where Google's results seem polluted?

* BLUE APRON UNBOXING & REVIEW | MakeupByMegB - YouTube || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX_aEuUVKP4

Some general comments I have after trying the service for 2 months.

1) The portions aren't generous. Which, look... if you're trying to lose weight it's not a bad idea... but I think I spent about an hour preparing the last meal I had from them, and even the friend I was eating with, a girl who maybe weighted 120 soaking wet, complained that it wasn't much food. Put it another way, I've never seem leftovers after a meal with Blue Apron... so it's not like you can spend time cooking and at least take the leftovers for lunch the next day.

2) The recipes are satisfying to make, you really feel like your cooking skills and food prep skills go up. It's nice to know what all is in the food, everything is from scratch. Great for dates, with everything measured out and how detailed the instructions are... you will look like a creative pro chef.

3) Meals are, I feel, more expensive than a restaurant (I'd say about 1.25X cost, compared to sit-down places in Austin). You're paying for health, and convenience of delivery [1]... Quality is on par with Whole Foods.

For me... was nice to try it for a few months and get a sense for what all is out there. Try some new vegetables. Gain some confidence when I go to farmer's markets around what various things taste like.

I will probably never use the service again, or any similar service... far too often I'd make a meal and then have to hit up the pantry for a bit more food -- "Hello Pop-Tart, my old friend, I know that box has been sitting in my pantry for over a year... but I think you'll make an excellent after dinner snack... (Goodbye health benefits...)"

My recycling bin and trash bins were always overflowing when I used this service... I didn't like how much waste a meal generated. I think all the packaging was recyclable, but just massive amounts of packaging. No clue how to compare waste to a restaurant, but like with a pack of eggs... you get 18 eggs at Costco in a container, and with Blue Apron you get 2 eggs in a container, wrapped in a paper bag, in a paper box, inside a sealed insulation bag, inside another paper box...

My total food spending was about 30% higher than normal during the months I was using Blue Apron.

[1] Ultimately even when I had Blue Apron meals, I'd still run late at work and instead of having like a turkey sandwich or something simple I could grab out of the fridge... I'd just go grab Chick-fil-A on the way home -- that's on me for bad choices, but I made the call "Go grocery shopping or use Blue Apron." If I have to go to the grocery store anyway... not that much time to shop for things I like.

TL;DR: Improved my food diversity, improved cooking skills, didn't save me time, didn't save me money, questionable health improvements due to opting for frequent meal augmentation.
With the notable exception of AdBlock Plus (which has its own problems) the big ad block plugins tend to be philosophically opposed to all ads of any type, quality or quantity. This is a bummer for sites like ours where the ads are sold directly to advertisers (no network) and are relevant to the audience and subject matter.
Grep isn't a difficult skill to acquire but I wouldn't hire someone that didn't know it. Some skills can be good proxies for a range of other skills an experience and a lot of developers are in that "don't know what they don't know" range.
quite right, its not a first amendment issue, but it is certainly censorship.
They could cut some of the packaging by requiring the user to have a wider range of stock items. They could send you an email on Saturday saying, "to prepare your menu selection arriving Tuesday, you will need: Soy Sauce, White Wine Vinegar,..." If you have 'em, fine, if not, you have a couple of days to stock up. That would eliminate the fairy's bottles of vinegar etc. (and lower costs?).

But there's no way around the insulation and frozen gel-packs, and I think they should close the loop on those and take them back. Just say, throw the gel-packs in the box with all the plastic containers, slap this label on the outside, and UPS will take the box away when they drop off next week's food.
My attitude toward ad blockers was always "meh". I have the right to render your bits and bytes however I wish. Using an ad blocker is just modifying the rendering algorithm, much the same way as I could use a French to Russian translator, something that increases font sizes, or throwing on a custom stylesheet. I can write my own web browser, if I wish.

Some percentage of users will use ad blockers, and businesses should account for that. If it is not sustainable, new business models will be invented. One thing I've been hoping for is inventing some form of advertising that was actually fun for the user -- fun enough that they would not want to block them.

Or invent a system by which 10% of the ad revenue gets cut out to the end user. That will incentivize people to unblock ads.

In other settings, chicken and egg problems are sometimes solved via backwards compatibility. So, in other words, if you already have a thing people go to, you build your other thing on top of that, basically.

From what I have read, clubs do "ladies night" because men are the ones who will show up anyway. It is the women you need to somehow get to show up. This seems to also be the case for dating. For example, women over a certain age do very poorly in most online dating sites. People are people, whether online or off. The same general trends that impact dating offline also influence dating online.

So, perhaps ask yourself why the women would want to show up? If you can answer that question, you may have an edge over other dating sites.
Wait, Datomic with Riak as the backend? That seems a ridiculous level of abstraction, since Riak itself uses pluggable backend stores (Bitcask or LevelDB). Like creating a programming language whose interpreter runs on the JVM.
I'm not saying Typescript isn't a superset of JavaScript, I'm saying Flow is more direct superset in a way that's important. I'm more trying to clarify people who are saying Flow and TS are both supersets and therefore directly comparable. Specifically, the root poster's contention was that they're both supersets and therefore​ both "not JS".

I'd be interested in something that was the web site equivalent of Spotify, but not if it was HTML HBO.

I think the reason the online music subscriptions have done so well is that their catalogs span multiple publishers, and customers really don't want to subscribe to multiple services. While there's minor differences, you pretty much can get access to any music you can think of.

Otherwise you just end up with some crummy bundling service where you pay a premium for a few things you are interested in, and waste money on the rest of the junk.
We don't typically sell them this way, but the CPM for an ad on e.g. retaildive.com is much higher than anything on Google's network.

I too deal with Google as a "publisher", and some of my experiences are similar to theirs. For example the odd way that they complain about certain forms of content, apparently prompted by an algorithm and unchecked by a human.

It seems to me that Google is a kind of corporate "Rain Man" - they have amazing abilities, and yet there are also these astonishing failures to deal with problems which could easily be resolved by a normal corporation.

microsoft tried that with bing rewards. i suspect it's not working well because i only heard of it in the context of botting it to get free money. the advertiser wants to spend as little money to gain as many sales, whereas the viewer (and blackhats) want to get as much money as possible. the two parties' objectives do not line up.

I find it fascinating that they managed to get to this much disk footprint so soon without any of us having much of an idea about what is going on below the good.

Despite weekly updates with nonsensical generic descriptions we still don't have actual features like support for devices like the iPad Pro.

Especially with all the frequent A/B testing bull they're pulling recently, the quality and usability of their software is dropping on a weekly basis. It just seems like a bad combination of everything on a level Microsoft at their worst couldn't even come up with.
I'm sort of confused. That list of yours is a bunch of stuff that (at least not generally) Google doesn't advertise. So where does the "only benefits Google and the peddlers pushing the dodgy adverts" bit come from? Seems like you're only angry at the peddlers. What did Google do?
In addition to the other things people have mentioned, it also now has vmm/vmd. Also, much of the ported software has patches to make better use of OpenBSD mitigations, some make use of pledge(2).
> What's more interesting to me is that everyone who converts their code into Flow or TS immediately finds at least N bugs (albeit small).

Just rereading all your code carefully (which porting generally requires) generally finds a few bugs in my opinion. It might not always be because of typescript.
I started subscribing and paying for Blendle about a month ago. Their service shows me article summaries from otherwise expensive publications like The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Economist, etc. I can view a full article from $0.10 to about $0.50 without advertisements.

I spend a little over a dollar a week and I get to occasionally read articles from sources that are expensive to buy a full subscription for.

I wonder if publishers find Blendle's usage statistics to be useful. They certainly track users'navigation across their own web properties, but knowing which articles people are willing to pay for must be a good signal.

That's exactly backwards. They're doing a reasonable but very late job of modernizing their user space on top of their quite decent kernel, including giving a Linux environment for those that want it. I for one respect them for that, even though I've been almost exclusively a Linux user since the early 90s. Lately installed Windows 10 and TBH between powershell and improved command line facilities, improvements to the windows GUI itself, and the linux subsystem it's not bad at all these days.
