>I think Snapchat is currently already overpriced

I agree.

My point is that unless those employees choose to sell their stock at below market prices (for whatever reason), then market prices won't budge. Stock prices don't fall because lots of people decide to sell; people are selling stock all day, every day, yet prices rise. It's all about that price and company prospects.

I probably being overly pedantic.

>I went through several different ways to approach responding to your comment before writing this version.

I also edited it quite a bit (but now I'm done, promise...) One of my points is that replication does not require a separate energy source, in the right environment. RNA is highly reactive given the right temperature and conditions, this is why all modern life does not use it as permanent storage medium (this also makes it very difficult to work with in the lab). Only replication of a DNA-based life form strictly requires a control mechanism and energy source.
Hopefully you don't expect the average consumer to realize this, when they are clearly selling Apple products.

Outside their app snapchat as close to zero visibility. No share buttons on the web, no snap ghosts in commercials (like "add us on facebook"), nothing. They really have to come up with something there.

When Facebook had their IPO everyone argued about them having no revenue, but they still had user growth, when Snap started they already had no user growth. This combined with no revenue... Wall Street does not approve!
Managing GitHub with terraform
If n is bounded, then log(n) is bounded, yes. But so is n^n.

You can claim that a log(n) algorithm runs quickly or almost always fast enough and I'll agree with you. But that is not the same as it being bounded.

In practice, log(n) is no guarantee for an algorithm being quick. A tree search is log(n) but for a big enough n it will begin to cause thousands of really slow page faults.

In other words it doesn't matter if you pick theory or practice, for strict enough real time guarantees and for large enough values of n, log(n) is too slow. Which is exactly the reason why many real time systems only use static memory.
Tbh, starting later would seem like a typical "doing things for the sake of doing things" thing to me. In my opinion, the majority of people who try to "fix" education are first and foremost just trying to leave a mark, letting everyone know that they were here (maybe without realizing it). Let's suppose you were given the chance to attend lectures by the most impressive person in the world. Don't you think that you'd soak it all in even when those talks were given at 6 am?

How did it get it so popular? What made people want to try it out? Just word of mouth?
The issue is that the counterfeits look extremely close to the real thing, sometimes indistinguishable. It's the quality of the components inside that's far worse. A lot of names brands are having their reputations tarnished from this. Things I bought in the last year on Amazon that were fake:

cookware,
phone charger,
headphones,
power supply,
phone battery,
SD card

I once used amazon almost daily so this is only a fraction of my purchases, but the fakes tend to be on expensive stuff. The convenience is not worth the chance of getting something worthless and I've stopped using amazon for anything.

Why use Redis and multiple machines instead of keeping it in RAM on a single machine? I'm not claiming the Reddit people did anything wrong; they have a lot more experience than me here obviously. I'm just trying to figure out why they couldn't do something simpler. 333 updates/sec to a 500kB packed array, coupled with cooldown logic, should have a negligible performance cost and can easily be done on a single thread. That thread could interact via atomic channels with the CDN (make a copy of the array 33 times a second and send it away, no problem) and websockets (send updates out via a broadcast channel, other cores re-broadcast to the 100K websockets). Again, I'm not saying this is actually a better idea, this is just what I would do naively and I'm curious where it would fall apart.

If you're talking about the Hyperloop, Musk never intended to build that. He just released the design because he thought somebody should.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying. It is conceivable that a bunch of people would coordinate their updates. To prevent new-comers from spoiling the fun, they only allowed users with accounts created before /r/place was launched to send updates.
I have a kinda similar story. I've always had the ability to learn something really, really quickly. Like 4-8 hours I could learn almost any technical course. Calculus was different though. You couldn't just learn how to visualize things and learn the rules and apply them. Integration couldn't be "flow charted" you had to just recognize the pattern!

So I'm up all night before the final trying to get through this material. Then I hit the Taylor and Maclaurin method of turning every function into a polynomial. It was difficult to learn, but at least it was straightforward once you got the trick of it.

Due to coffee related stomach sickness the final was rescheduled anyway so I learned a good deal of the patterns for the integration but what I ended up doing was using Taylor series if I got stuck since I could just convert it to polynomials, do the integration, then try to convert the infinite series back into a reasonable looking function. If not, no worries, it's still technically the same function so maybe I lose a few points here or there, better than nothing.

Oh and there was a bomb threat during that retake. I made sure to walk right next to the prof while the other 8 people writing with me held back and essentially cheated. I asked the prof why he was letting them do it and he said "Oh, I'm just going to deduct 15% from everyone's exam but yours".

Really dodged a bullet there, lol. Kinda miss university at times.

"massively late"

This is a direct consequence of charging for checked bags.

Now every flight takes twice as long to board and disembark because everyone is carrying as much carry on as they can and trying to stuff them into the overhead bins.

Annoyingly, they usually start making announcements about gate-checking bags for free so they are not really reducing the costs and they're encouraging passengers to drag their bags through security (slowing down that line) in the hope they can gate check the bag for free (or not at all) in order to save $100/bag.

The airlines should offer free bag check and charge $100/bag per carry-on in the overhead bins (under the seat is free still).

Hey guys,
My name is Antonio and I'm CEO and Co-Founder at Ludwig.

Ludwig is the linguistic search engine that boosts your English writing. It lets you search and resolve your linguistic doubts, helps you to turn your ideas into well-written texts and makes you incredibly more independent and confident at your job.

We started this project because Writing in good English is a daily challenge for millions of non-native English users, faced with linguistic barriers, misunderstandings and a sense of inferiority (converting an idea into a sentence takes an English-as-a-Foreign-Language user on average 4 times longer than a native English speaker, with worse results).
We perfectly know how it feels and decided to build the product we always wanted to have.

How can you use it?

To get reliable English translations, with contextualized examples
To check your English sentences by comparing them side by side with reliable examples
To find the inspiration to express your ideas with ease and learn how to write more effectively

We are looking for people who use and give feedback on our desktop app. If you are willing to claim 3 months of Ludwig premium for free, apply here, download the app and give us your feedback.

You can find out more about Ludwig on TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/05/online-linguistic-search-e...)

Let me know what you think of it and (if you want) le me have your feedback.
Thanks a lot,
Antonio
Yeah, I couldn't find the clicker when I was using it! I wish I had a chance to use it or get people to demo it with the clicker!
I think employee retention would be a much bigger concern. On-call work is very disruptive and I suspect many developers would be quite unhappy to be asked to do that without some form of compensation. Compensation seems like an extremely important topic when trying to put together an on-call program.
Surprisingly, postfix calculators fell out of fashion. I still have an original HP-11C on my desk. Students are now introduced to calculators that meet the "educational standard", that is, the TI-84 and its approved clones. That seems to have set what people expect in a calculator.

None of them address this situation. They broke the contract of carriage (as well as, it appears, his nose; three bully boy police officers beat up a 69 year old man, who has committed no crime, at the request of an airline).

Also, I suspect it could be argued that it was not a private space. Privately owned, yes, but not a private space. This wasn't trespass.

I use Fedora as my primary development OS in my various machines for ~8 years. Previously I was on various SuSE versions and even farther back I was on Slack.

Around 2011-2013, I used on my work(office) machines Ubuntu while I continued to have Fedora on my laptop.

Fedora not only did it have more recent packages, it was so much more stable than ubuntu that it was incomparable.

In general I find Ubuntu as the most unstable distro one could use :/

Also, dist upgrades are a bit unnecessary when you can have your /home in a separate partition and do a fresh install of the newer Fedora version in a couple of minutes.

> live-feed-augmented VR is really just an extension of AR

Two things you can get from live-feed-aug'd VR that you can't get with current thru-glass AR solutions (maybe hololens is different?):

1. The "color" black (and true opaque objects)

2. Wide field-of-view (FOV)

The first is a physic limitation of thru-glass AR implementations; it's not likely to be different any time soon. The second I would expect to over time be improved.

The downside of a live-feed-aug'd VR system is resolution - the resolution of everything is not high enough to be what people want. While I doubt the resolution of an AR system is any better, because the FOV is smaller, and a thru-glass view system is used instead of a live feed, it becomes much less of an issue.

Another dumb article focusing in overbooking. Unfortunately, United was given a free pass as most media erroneously attribute this error to overbooking. It was not. They fly was at full capacity, but they didn't overbook clients. They removed a fully seated paying customer, breaking their contract, to accommodate employees. This is not about overbooking, is an illegal removal of a protected paying customer.
1.Does this compare SNAPchat US/UK users with INSTA US/UK users?

2. INSTA has users across the world and in countries where their unit economics is a loss.

3. Nobody makes ad profit from India/Brazil/Vietnam. SNAP wants to redefine how valuation is done.

4. Having billion users is a wrong metric altogether when most users doesn't generate revenue. And yes, companies will always promise they will generate revenue in 10 years or some BS.

It's a 10 minute video. Cats were dying and the symptoms pointed to alcohol poisoning even though cats were hard- coded not to desire alcohol. The answer is: a calculation bug that became more visible due to a feature introduced in prior years. I hate to spoil the complete explanation as it goes well-beyond what you might think, and it's fun to hear all the details of DF's systems that led to cats dying. Tldr: a system was introduced to allow characters to clean individual body parts without showering, e.g. blinking to clean your dirty eyeballs. Cats were coded to clean all of their body parts and to injest what they cleaned off. The cats that were dying were the ones who were following dwarves into bars where there were puddles of alcohol.
Unfortunately (and this is more general for the Linux world) the filesystem in use is still ext4, which has been part of Linux since 2008 (almost 10 years now!). ZFS is more an more usable in Linux ( apt install -y zfs ) but it would be really good to have it by default and available for the root partition.

Just moments ago I set up fusecompress in a DigitalOcean droplet to compress an .rbenv/versions and node_modules directory. It would be better if the filesystem supported transparent compression by default (zfs does, and I think brtfs)
I wonder how DCOS is not mentioned. Its principal selling point is exactly this.
I've been using a small dedicated SSD drive for swap file and other temp file requirements for a few years now. One example of this is Photoshop temp file space. I don't want unnecessary I/O out of system or data drives.

That said, yes, we just got done upgrading all of our workstations to new self-built systems with 64 GB of RAM and I would definitely consider having to go to swap file to be an error.

All of our systems have 5 SSD drives: System, Data, Library, Development, Swap.

They are all 1 TB SSD's with the exception of the 256 GB Swap/Temp drive. The idea is to distribute read/writes and organize things so that no SSD, and, in particular, the system SSD, is abused. Running a large number of FEA thermal simulations or a bunch of FPGA compilation jobs can produce an amazing amount of files.

This approach seems to do a decent job of spreading that out and keeping it off the System drive. That, coupled with local (network) and remote backups has worked well so far.
Easily doable. On a 10$/month server I frequently run queries doing text operations over 120 million rows for fulltext search of an IRC client backlog.

It's definitely doable, but you'll need to heavily fine-tune your queries. My first one was at over 2 hours for the same.
Are you me? Honestly, that all sums it up even better. In an embedded role, you are always a second class citizen. After 6-12 months of planning by the hardware folks: "The hardware is all done. Where's the software? What do you mean it's not finished, you had all year...?" You're a complete afterthought, and it's only amplified when working with a team that doesn't really "get" that without access to the actual, finalized hardware you're extremely limited in capabilities. It only gets better when they decide to go with one-off vendors who have a single product support engineer and its pulling teeth any time something goes wrong. It's often hardware related, but who cares -- you're the guy at the end of pipeline who's tasked with making it work, so yeah, you feel the wrath.

I'm only extra cynical because I'm dealing with that right now. As I have many times before, though. It's part and parcel.

How so? I installed Fedora 21 a couple of years ago and I've been continuously upgrading it up to 25. I've never encountered a single problem with the operating system itself (only with the NVidia driver, which is a major source of pain for all Linux systems, I guess.)
