So, the system is full of users, each of whom want different features to be supported by the OS. And some features are needed to protect subsets of the users, while other users not so much. What seems to be happening is, some of the users don't want certain features implemented. In order to stop these features, they are claiming that the OS design specifically forbids these features.

But the OS is software. And the users collectively pay the contractors who write the software, and they can change it to say anything they want it to say, because the users are paying for it, and using it. Unlike religion, the design is not literally written in stone. The designers were well educated on the history of OS design, and knew that designs change over time. So their design allows for modifications without a total rewrite - something they saw as a feature.

So it seems to me the arguments and proclamations made by some users that "It's not in the design!!!" are equivalent to those made by, say, systemd opponents. There's a lot of people (myself included) that do not want systemd in their OS. But if all the other users vote and want systemd in the OS, I will capitulate and learn to deal with it.

We shouldn't get so caught up in the damn kernel or OS that we stop improving the whole system.

Currently living in Bangkok and it's already quite noticeable the changes since mid-2015 when I was last here. Sukhumvit Road, one of the main streets, has a fraction of the street vendors today compared to 2015. The further away you get from the popular/touristy parts of town, the less affected it is. However, between these recent changes and the ever increasing number of lots being turned into construction sites for new condos, Bangkok is rapidly changing and its famous street food scene is suffering.

Cars are the dangerous thing on road. Banning them would eliminate half of all motorcycle accidents, cite below. Idiots riding without helmets and being intoxicated greatly skew the fatality statistics.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_safety

Findings from motorcycle safety study.

75% of accidents were found to involve a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle.

Almost half of the fatal accidents show alcohol involvement.

In the multiple vehicle accidents, the driver of the other vehicle violated the motorcycle right-of-way and caused the accident in two-thirds of those accidents.

The report's additional findings show that the wearing of appropriate gear, specifically, helmets and durable garment, mitigates crash injuries substantially

The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents.
A suggestion for contributors to make a habit of using non-gendered terms is one of many ways that software project communities can signal that they pay attention to diversity issues, and attract developers who might be nervous about investing themselves in a new community (given some of the actual awfulness that happens in some of them).
Where are 490, 490X? (if not 490X2)

I came across a blender OpenCL vs CUDA benchmark in which 480 was being compared to GeForce GTX 1060 and a claim was made that OpenCL is finally on par with CUDA. So 480 can't be a flagship model of 400 series. (1060 has 4 ahead of it in lineup: 1070, 1080, Titan X, Titan XP).

Thanks! Answers below.

> 1. Can you give me an example of how a company would use Mux? I can't quite grasp that from this page alone + looking through your homepage. Are you hosting video? Plugging into 3rd parties for metrics?

We don't host video. We monitor video players (web, mobile, TV, etc.) to understand when problems happen, like rebuffering or slow load time. The best analogy is probably something like NewRelic: NewRelic helps companies understand their application performance, and we help companies understand the performance of their video streaming.

> 2. Is Zencoder still around? How did your successes / failures there translate into Mux, both from a tech / product standpoint & a management / operations standpoint.

Yep - we aren't involved anymore, but Zencoder is still a great product and a great business. We learned a lot there, and when we decided to tackle analytics, we built the product that we wish we'd had to optimize and validate other tools we've built (like Zencoder and Video.js).

> 3. You discuss how Netflix is only the size of a more niche channel like Discovery. Even so, it's large in the realm of online video - how do you aim to protect your product / strategy from being swallowed up or replicated from Youtube or Netflix, who are big fish even in the cable / satellite video world & even bigger in the smaller pond of online video?

Netflix and YouTube are definitely the giants right now, and are both great companies. Two thoughts on this. First, we think the universe of online video is still significantly bigger than these two, and that the growth of the entire online video ecosystem means there is still a huge opportunity to be hand. Second, we (philosophically) think the world is a better place if media is decentralized, and we want to bring Netflix-grade sophistication to everyone else in the market, large or small.

Using traditional machine learning techniques for this purpose is a non-starter and completely unacceptable. Neural networks are just a black box, and don't produce an inspectable justification or reasoning. The best you can say is that the model correctly predicts recidivism in X% of cases for some sample.

I'm not opposed to using other algorithmic methods, but the algorithm needs to be transparent. Though that would be difficult to do outside of some pretty tightly controlled parameters. We can't currently make a system that can take into account arbitrary facts about the case and weigh ethical implications.
Twitter doesn't work predictably. Period.

The mobile web app is a disaster. There are two back buttons (one in the browser and one in the app), and if I click on a "retweet with comment" to go into the original tweet, and then try either back button, it doesn't take me back to the "retweet with comment".

I like your point. But I will like to advance it further. Even if it is reduction in productivity -even after factoring everything-, is production maximization our ultimate social goal?

I though that we established capitalism because allows us to find good ways of producing what we need, so people can be healthier, more educated, happier, and - in general - to improve the citizens well being. But the goal is not to increase production at any cost, but to increase well being. Capitalism is a means to a purpose, Capitalism is not the purpose itself.

So, as you say, to know the economic benefit is difficult. So if we are not sure, applying the measure has other benefits that can make worth it.

Handmade Hero – Guy vlogs himself building a game engine from scratch
Javascript has big performance limits which don't allow Maps to do everything that Earth does. The 3D engine in Earth does a whole lot of magic to get the visual quality that it has. In Javascript, you have to trade off everything to minimize your function call overhead into WebGL and try to pre-generate as much static content as possible. Earth has a much quicker access path to GL, which allows it to render more and higher quality visuals.

Satellite mode without terrain can look fine in JS/WebGL. Once you start tilting the view and seeing terrain and buildings, the JS performance will be horrible pretty fast, and adaptive LOD streaming is hard due to the function call overhead.

I worked on the Google Earth desktop app for a few years, so this isn't idle speculation.

This new NaCL version seems to be nowhere near feature parity with the old desktop client, sadly. I hope it catches up, since I loved the historical imagery, for instance. The good news is that the desktop app still works if you want to see that.

"It's going to become much more difficult to support yourself via creating content if step 1 becomes "be famous"."

You don't have to become famous. One of the things I love about Patreon are how some of my obscure things nobody has ever heard of are now providing a low-to-mid-grade middle class lifestyle for people you've probably never heard of.

Wander around a bit on https://graphtreon.com/ , and bear in mind a lot of what you see is hobby work, not attempts to make a living.

And also bear in mind there is no option where anybody ever just wakes up one day, decides "I'm going to make a living as an Internet content provider!" and a thousand people pour out of the woodwork to give them $3 a month right away. The question is not whether Patreon successfully thrusts success on people... the question is whether it enables it.

i.e., if I love Patreon so much why haven't I switched to make a living on it? Well, I have a realistic view of my own "content creation" skills and realize that it's not really an option for me. Patreon isn't going to magically fix that for me.

A lot of people underestimate the speed of marathon running, probably because the distance alone is so intimidating.

What does supervision mean in this case? To actually gather data, you'd have to give this system power to actually sentence people. And sentencing people to jail based on the decisions of an explicitly work-in-progress AI purely for the purposes of experimentation is a serious ethical violation.
I think this is a case of seeing what you want to see. According to the Trustees Report, SS is only in deficit if you don't factor in interest income.

That 2034 date can easily be extended through minor tweaks, check out any of the ideas from the late Robert M. Ball.

The flat tax is regressive. Regressive is bad because the value of money is roughly logarithmic as it increases. Any plans to make the flat tax "less regressive" is an argument against a flat tax. A simplified tax code is a good idea. It is quite possible to have a simpler tax code that is more progressive. Yet I find that flat tax proponents tend not to be in favor of that.

"To neglect selling to Walmart is to invite death. Selling to Walmart is to embrace it"

This is from a CEO of a large manufacture that was stating by Walmart's size, if your competitor sold to Walmart they could grow huge almost instantly and push you out of the market with economies of scale. The problem with Walmart is they want constantly lower prices. After growing huge and profitable with them, could find yourself going out of business very easily. Even worse, if Walmart dropped your product for any reason, you have a huge amount of production and no market for it.

What kind of meetup would you go to?

I organize a meetup and I'm always struggling with how to increase attendance of people like me (and you) - not in 20's, have a house/spouse/kids and a commute home to the suburbs.

In general I'm having problems connecting with anyone my age outside of work. They all seem to have very little capacity or interest to do anything other than go home from work and see their family.

> As far as images go, I haven't found any other image source providing a better definition image than what Google Maps provide

As many have alluded to here, there's likely to be a big difference between publicly available imagery and what's currently possible. Sticking to publicly available stuff though, while the resolution of all mapping services varies a lot across the globe, http://wego.here.com provides satellite imagery that betters Google's in a lot of cases.

This is all somewhat moot if you're looking for MIB-esque video of course as these still images are compiled rather than directly snapshotted
And sendmail long ago (pre-sendmail 8) -- it used to dump out a binary image of itself after parsing sendmail.cf to speed up startup.
Another IMPORTANT aside. Very annoying. Backblaze requires an authorize() call to obtain a token before calling any API function. Please see https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/b2_authorize_account.html.

This is unlike S3, which simply needs a STATIC API key, and boom, you can access the API. I don't know why you did this, but it is bad developer UX. Is it because tokens are "cool". I see no need to have this concept of tokens for your API. Why I am annoyed:

1) An API operation now requires one ADDITIONAL call. B2 already requires 2 calls to upload a file, and this now means 3 calls!

2) Related to above, this means bad latency. The roundtrip can be significant, especially since you only have 1 data center in California. My users will NOT be happy.

3) My code is much more complex now.

4) It is more work FOR YOU. This means more processing. More resources wasted FOR YOU. More cost. Why would you do this? You are supposed to be lean. Imagine millions of extra calls EVERY day. Adds up.

Is there a solution to this? Can the token be cached? If so, for how long.

Also, would love to see a reasonable rationale for this? If there is no rationale, then please provide a STATIC approach to access your API.

I REALLY like B2, and I wish they could think of developer UX a little more.
Some people actually do have to pay significant attention to ensure that they do basic things like be polite to others and not be overtly discriminatory, actually - there's a reason there's talk of people having to have a "mental filter" in certain situations.
Easiest ways to treat bad breath permanently
I'm not quite sure where you're getting that interpretation... Of course, any removed element must have its reference replaced with `null`, because otherwise that's a live reference. This is true for any object, not just collections. Your program not being able to reach it is a function of the interface, not the object.

I think that a separation needs to be made between purposefully and unpurposefully unreachable or retained references. For instance, it's perfectly valid for a method to return one of two internal references based on a boolean flag. So both those objects are still reachable, even if only one reference is "purposefully" reachable at once. That isn't a memory leak; it's just programming logic.
I even have a book standing behind me "Bangkok street food".

In Bangkok I loved "that eat small things all day" attitude. Some Satay here, a fruit shake there, some pork with rice, here you go, and then some Pad Thai... Ooh, nice.
