Principal Component Analysis Explained Visually: http://setosa.io/ev/principal-component-analysis/
1) Advertising

2) A lot. Publishers relying on clickbait to generate money. Advertisers creating invasive ads with autoplay sound and video. Ignoring do-not-track requests as part of the industry (even if some technology providers respect DNT, it seems like a lot don't). Malware. A lot of useless metrics. Bandwidth usage. Etc...

3) Micro-payments vs delivering content only when an ad has been seen? Validating content delivered through exchanges. A better way to anonymize data used for tracking? Smaller ads. Honestly, I'm not too sure, there's probably a lot that can be done but I feel the industry did too little too late.
You don't have to use the helper bits of SWATH! Just turn that stuff off and enjoy it's near-perfect terminal emulation. I've played several games like that (these were old school 5000-sector games with rate limits, like how God intended you to play).
I'm reminded of a Torvalds quote from about a decade ago:

They had a demo at Cebit showing that it outperforms RAM access "to the wrong CPU's RAM" via QPI on a dual socket board. For real world use cases I'd say that's not too bad.

Another way to think about it is, your country suddenly finds itself with an additional, disposable 7% GDP. Alternatively you can afford extra ~40% health coverage in the form of personal care, hospitals etc.

Yes. Tech entrepreneurs need to be very wary of platform vendors. You can and will be NetScaped. Why give away a web browser for free? Because it gives Microsoft instant dominance over the web. Platform providers work very hard to maintain their platform because it allows them to control consumer attention.

Big tech companies will only acquire companies that bring something to the table that they can't get by locking 4 of their own engineers in a closet for a year. That means a brand or patents. Any software-based tech can be copied for around a million bucks without much issue.

The other thing here is that in cyberspace, the effects of the network are enforced only by artificial legal barriers like the CFAA that make it a felony for users to contact web sites in a manner that the operator dislikes. The CFAA essentially takes the ToS (and sometimes even less; just an operator's expression that he no longer wants you to access the site can suffice the CFAA's standard of "exceeding authorized access") and evals it as part of the criminal code. This is the law under which Aaron Swartz was prosecuted.

Facebook has invoked this power repeatedly, most notably against Power Ventures, which was destroyed in court for allowing users to export their own data only, the data in which they have an exclusive copyright interest. Power infringed Facebook's copyright because it downloaded a page into RAM (RAM copies that exist for milliseconds are eligible for copyright protection per MAI v. Peak) that contained Facebook's IP in order to extract the user's information.

It's why you never see third-party exporters and have to rely on the crappy ones that Facebook/Google offer and bury so they can avoid flak.

Things would look much different if our law wasn't so thoroughly committed to entrenching the extant digital players. There's no reason that another application should be legally restrained from multiplexing/multicasting one's Facebook feed.

IANAL.
Why did you feel that you needed to start using Python in the first place? Do you have prior programming experience? Regarding data munging, that's sometimes a significant part of the CV/IP process.

Personally, I love Python. It's been working fairly well for our ML projects utilizing scikit-learn to process fairly large spatiotemporal datasets (temporally varying 2D and 3D datasets). I find numpy to be critical for keeping runtimes reasonable.

Regardless of the language, profiling may be necessary in order to obtain acceptable performance.

Indeed. There is very little action in Dune. Almost all of it is politicking and inner monologues. Dune is definitely NOT a space opera like Star Wars.

I agree about Outlook + Exchange. Plugins exist for thunderbird to integrate but they just don't have the same quality of experience. Simply using outlook is less frustrating for me.
Both require similar moviemaking techniques as well as the huge budgets that go along with them. Both types of movies also tend to be slotted in as "summer time" blockbusters... Im not the guy you are asking the question to, he might have been thinking along different lines, but that is at least one way they could be lumped into the same category.
Definitely.

But I guess I find it extremely surprising that Google would go through years of working on Tango - software, hardware, developer community, etc, etc - if the tech was available on existing phones.

Put differently, the truth is actually the opposite of what this article argues: the vast size of Facebook's network is the biggest threat to their existence. Many people I know are ditching facebook because its become too large a social graph- why would I post something edgy to a network that includes my parents?
I agree with you, but I think the author was attempting to describe the subtle incentive structures that motivated the contractors to act as they did.
It's also culture: Facebook is data-driven and experiment-happy in a way I haven't seen at any other tech company. Everyone at the company wants to minimize red tape and heavyweight process, and it really shows in how quickly Facebook can develop software and in how few developers they need to do it. I've worked at Facebook; I've worked elsewhere. There are real lessons everyone else should be taking from FB's engineering culture.

Managers at other companies give lip service to developer velocity, but in the end, they still end up creating the same kind of bureaucratic slowdowns that have hobbled the industry for decades, mostly because they can't let go and delegate real decision-making power to ICs. It's "Yes, we care, but bullshit, so we need process" over and over, stomping on the face of human ingenuity forever. Facebook means it when they say they care about developer productivity and code velocity, and that should terrify everyone else.
Many believed Trump to be a libertarian or even a closet Democrat, who supported saner policy for the practical reasons that many do, setting aside their personal beliefs about whether individuals should consume drugs.
> Are you really implying writing a bunch of print statements is more "professional" than a debugger?

This is quite a loaded question, so let's unpack it a bit.

1. I made no implications regarding anything, my point is explicitly laid out with clear reasoning and examples.

2. I never made any remarks regarding how the use of any particular tool reflects on one's professionalism. I am guessing you're conflating my remark with regard to junior-level experience with the qualities of professionalism, and if that's the case I'll clarify that being junior does not in any way reflect on one's professionalism.

3. Your flippant dismissal of logging as "a bunch of print statements" is unfortunate and broadcasts a blind-spot in your knowledge of how robust logging is a critical component of any properly engineered software project, especially network services of any kind. It's not an either or question, logging is a must-have business/operations concern, whereas a debugger is a nice-to-have developer concern.

> Debuggers are incredibly useful in tracking certain things down and don't make you write and then remove a ton of logging statements.

You shouldn't be writing and removing a ton of logging statements, logging should be a planned and permanent part of your application from the beginning with appropriate severity labelling for debugging as well as run-time analysis purposes. If you want to use a debugger, that's fine, but a debugger is not a replacement for logging.

> Sometimes logging is easier, sometimes debugging is, and not just for "junior devs".

As I already stated in this comment, that's a false choice, logging should be the minimum, the debugger is there if you really want/need it. I never stated that the debugger is only for junior devs, I said I'd be concerned if a non-junior dev consistently relied on a debugger for solving problems in code, which is not at all the same thing. The use of a debugger is appropriate at any experience level, but generally speaking, the debugger is a slow troubleshooting tool that is best suited for exploring code flow or unusual bugs that seem to defy bedrock assumptions about how the application should be functioning. They are not the best tool for everyday bugs and troubleshooting.
Hope your waterfall spec has caldev integration. I want a to do app that syncs with my iPhone todos and Google todos. I should be able to tell Siri to add something and mark it off later from my desktop. Or add couple of things with Siri, some auto populated from Gmail and notes.

Basically I don't give a shit about a walled garden to do app anymore no matter how good it is. I don't want a new app. I'd rather use something that puts my existing apps on steroids.
By calling Moby the "OSS version" you are implying that Docker EE isn't open source. Honest question... is it true that Docker EE contains proprietary code, or did you mean to say "community version"?

The original "Foundation Trilogy" is actually a series of short stories bound together. In a perfect world, I'd suggest taking each story, expanding it into a full movie, and adding such action as is necessary. If my memory serves me (as it often doesn't), the Foundation Trilogy still has some action as quite a lot of it takes place during war, and as a consequence of that, could easily be expanded to have a bit more "action". (I wouldn't want to focus on that necessarily, as the Foundation series has always been cerebral, but we would like to avoid Star Wars: The Phantom Tax Dispute Menace, too.)

In reality I have little confidence in either Hollywood to pull that off, nor the stories to carry movies. Personally I think both Bicentennial Man and I, Robot were both quite accurate, loving adaptations of his work (almost everyone seems to miss that I, Robot was a pitch-perfect Zeroth Law story and fits in quite well to at least the tone, if not the literal timeline), and what they showed is, yeah, don't try to adapt Asimov to the screen. There is an immense wealth of other great science fiction from that era that would do better in adaptation.
Your tone and absolutism is getting you down voted like crazy. You're placing the IDE experience on a pedastal and it's really not warranted. IDE's can have lots of problems, speaking as 15 year enterprise java developer. The primary problem is hiding complexity from the developer, which is obviously good and bad. For example, IDE's typically maintain an internal representation of a project, which can get out of sync in wierd ways. It's easy to spend multiple minutes rebuilding and refreshing "objects" (ie file and subprojects, and maven modules, etc) trying to get things back in sync. Here I'm speaking from years of fighting Eclipse, other Java IDE's like in IntelliJ are purportedly better in this regard. The fact remains, it provides an abstraction over the source files on disk, which are the source of truth.

Where vim and command line tools shine is giving the developer powerful tools to examine and manipulate projects, as they exist, on disk.

I personally believe there's a place for both. Vim and the cli are my secret weapon when it comes to comprehending, researching, and working with large, legacy, java enterprise applications. I only use an IDE when I'm actually editing java source files, which isn't very often. YMMV.

It's not someone else's responsibility to fix a person's health issues no matter what.. that sort of thinking, in my opinion, is at the root of an incredible amount of government overreach.

Along the same lines, if someone weighs 500 pounds and yet eats 6000 calories day, it's the same issue. How much should society intervene on people who are absurdly self-destructive? How much freedom should people have to damage themselves so much that society has to pay to rescue them from themselves. There are lots of places you could draw that line.

You are correct, but when somebody quotes Milton Friedman and says things like "have faith in the free market", you're probably not going to change their mind with a quote from Keynes.

Is there a source for this? I always thought Clarke was so satisfied with the movie that he actually wrote his book sequels to better match the movie rather than the first book!

(Personally, I think Kubrick's movie is a masterpiece and far superior to Clarke's first book, which is an ok but entirely forgettable and minor work of SF).
It doesn't have to be a hard problem that you solve. Sometimes solving easy, but tedious, problems is a worthwhile goal, too. Really, most industry pains are solved with CRUD apps attached to some workflow. So you might be right that the "best startups" come from your own pains... but some completely adequate lifestyle companies come from just asking around and solving small problems. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Utah is also doubling down on public transport with the Frontrunner regional rail service that connects Utah and Salt Lake county, with further extensions in development. As a former Utah County resident, I was pleased with the service and used it frequently, even though I had a car. They're continuing to expand the line.

Utah really does have a strange political balance -- maybe a unique one. Very ideological and partisan on some issues, and yet extremely pragmatic and practical on others, willing to get behind compromises that would be dead on arrival in most places in America's hyperpartisan climate, especially Republican-controlled ones.
I would caution people not to believe it is that simple to actually make money like this.

Friedman simply made that assertion. I basically believe it, but like so many things in Economics it's true in theory yet of limited value in practice.

First of all, on human timescales (i.e. lifetimes) monopolies can be very long lived. The Standard Oil Trust was very destructive for decades, and though it might have collapsed due to natural causes, that destruction could have lasted for decades more. Which leads to the second problem: those long periods of stagnation are multiply destructive: not only do the victims pay a premium (which they could have spent on other goods), the monopoly's existence retards innovation.

The final irony in the case of Standard Oil is that is was worth more to John D Rockefeller after being broken up than it was when integrated. The government did everyone a service by breaking it up.
I really find it troubling that commentators insist on seeing this as a zero-sum game: that in order for Facebook to win, others need to lose, or visa-versa. Why can there only be one social network? What is wrong with competition?

Let Snapchat be Snapchat, Twitter be Twitter, etc. The constant media frenzy over how fast everyone's growing and if they stop growing (aka Twitter) it's the end, just seems bonkers to me. The only reason for this rationale is Wall Street and public stock offerings. Twitter's stock price will sink if they don't continue a hyperbolic growth path. Never mind if the product is good, or if the existing users are happy. I would actually argue that Twitter's product has been floundering and its existing users feeling the blues BECAUSE of Twitter's need to drive growth. If Twitter had decided a couple of years ago to focus on making its existing userbase happy as well as third-party developers contributing to the capability of the network, Twitter would be in a stronger position today.

So I don't agree at all with the premise of this article. Facebook isn't "beating" anybody. If everyone suddenly leaves Snapchat and goes back to using only Facebook, that's not because Facebook is evil, it's because Snapchat looses its ability to develop products people want. If everyone suddenly leaves Twitter and goes back to only Facebook, that's Twitter's own fault, plain and simple.

Lynch's Dune does have many problems, but I still enjoy it. The set design and world that the film describes is often quite beautiful and has in many ways set the tone for all depictions of the universe after. The books don't offer much in the way of visual specificity, so even the later Scifi Channel's mini series took on various inspirations from the Lynch film.

I think the real hatred for the movie comes from not just cutting down the original material to fit within a film, but then needlessly adding new material that wasn't at all in keeping with the book, so it loses "trueness" from both ends. There's also some unevenness in the pacing and gravity the movie tries to get across. Dune is by no means an action story, but the movie can be a bit plodding at points that don't call for it, and faster paced parts sometimes don't work or come off poorly or cheesy.

I think also there's an unnecessary attempt at adding mystery to a story that didn't really have or need it. The book explains many of the strange parts of the universe quite well, but the movie has characters uttering odd phrases and strange events happening without comment or description -- reading the book fills in most of this strangeness, but it shouldn't be necessary as the film should stand on its own.

Still, the new cuts of the film are good watches and make for an entry into a nice thoughtful sci-fi weekend that might include movies like Bladerunner.

In this case, it's hard to see the problem with facebook being broken up. Who, exactly, loses?
I think knowing the hardware is less challenging than previously. The trend is to make everything whitebox and then abstract as software. Hypervisors replace supporting many hardware configurations and software defined SANs replace dedicated appliances.
I always hover over links before I click them to see where they actually lead in the status bar. It is less safe than your suggestion (since if I'm not careful I can fall for "googel.com" or "goog1e.com"), but is still often useful (even just to avoid going somewhere I'm not interested in going, not specifically against phishing).
Also, I don't see why a monopoly is inherently bad. If consumers actually benefit from it then what's the rationale in breaking it up? Moreover, sectors like social networking naturally favor monopolies; it's no good if your friends are scattered around 10 different sites.

The current understanding of US antitrust laws is similar. The Justice Department pursues antitrust actions only if the end consumer is being hurt.
