You're right you can use completely different keys to access completely different account and it may not be that bad. But what happens when there's shared resources and none of your systems were designed for that?

The idea that comes to the top of my head would be controlling lights and appliances in the house. You don't have two completely different sets of lights and appliances in one house just because there are two users, it's the same set of things for both. But that means now you have to know that both users are sharing X while some other thing (such as a Gmail calendar) may be individual to each user.
>The correct solution can be to never drag people off planes. The cockpit crew simply stops their checklist at "passenger manifest is correct", and informs the passenger cabin that takeoff will be delayed indefinitely until after the "stowaways" deplane and return to the gate.

The correct solution in this case is that if an airline decides that they want to reclaim 4 seats that were sold to customers, that they figure out a way to get 4 people to voluntarily give up their seats. This was not the last plane out of Saigon. Likely a very small percentage of the flight would not leave the plane for any amount of money (family emergency, etc) and the rest would happily give up their seat for some amount of money. One person on that flight said they would give up their seat for $1500 and the employees laughed at him. For example, I imagine if they offered $10,000 that the vast majority of the plane would have raised their hands. Delta has increased their max offers to about that amount and I assume United will do the same.

>""We're very sorry, but due to scheduling conflicts caused by a disruptive passenger,

So someone who paid for something and doesn't want it taken away is now considered "disruptive"? If a landlord signs a lease with a tenant he can't just decide to kick the person out and use violence agains the "disruptive" tenant who wants the landlord to live up their side of the contract. The airline contract of carriage specifies reasons why someone might be denied transport, but wanting to reclaim your seat for use by their employee is not one of them.
In Australia, that's very hard to achieve because the residential energy market is heavily regulated specifically to _avoid_ exposing low-end consumers to spot pricing.
I at least partially agree with you, and it's definitely a grey area. If Ethereum hadn't been so young at the time, the fork may not have happened.
The Metrics that Matter
Great answers, thank you.

Economically, because the price is fixed and everyone has the same status, wouldn't that have the effect of oversubscription if that price is always below amazon spot price? Are you eg legally prevented from using a spot-like bid? I'd imagine spot would balance supply and demand better.
I'm lost here. Either people didn't read the article and are just relying on preconceived notions about what stuff can and can't happen with multiple dispatch, or I am missing something blindingly obvious. Anyway, consider this example:

class Expression {}
class Add : Expression {}
class Const : Expression {}
class Var : Expression {}

void FSpecialization(Expression e1, Expression e2) { ... }
void FSpecialization(Const c, Var v) { ... }

...

void F(Expression e1, Expression e2)
{
FSpecialization(e1 as dynamic, e2 as dynamic);
}

How is this not exhausted? Any new sub class of expression will be routed through to the first FSpecialization. Same as it would with a

_ -> default_f

in algebraic pattern matching.
Thanks for this. I wasn't sure that it was as bad as quadratic, but there it is. Your calculations show why lidar is such a persuasive alternative.
Except that you claim Docker will continue to have Docker CE (Fedora equivalent) and Docker EE (RHEL equivalent). These products will continue to be issued by Docker Inc., will they not? Will "Docker CE" be released as "Moby" in the future? If so, how will it be distinguished from the "Moby Project", which is just a bunch of "building blocks"?

If Moby is the name of a collection of subsystems that are drawn upon to build user-ready container platforms like Docker, isn't GNU userland/Linux kernel->(Fedora/Red Hat)->Red Hat Inc. as Moby->(Docker CE/EE)->Docker Inc.?

Perhaps a better way to explain it is that Moby is a "containerization kernel/core" a la Linux or an "open containerland" a la GNU. The term "framework" may be a little more accessible at the cost of diminishing street cred by appealing more to web devs than old-school system devs. These fancy words probably shouldn't be a problem since it seems only developers would be interested in Moby anyway (instead of end users who would want to use a Moby distribution).

With a little bit of finesse, this could've probably been construed as the boon for the open-source community that it seems you originally intended. "Docker Inc. donates its core technology to the open-source community and invites competitors to use it as the base of their own products." Too late to right the ship?

Hollow startup with no revenue is raising $50M in an IPO with CNBC commercials
Summary: Ramy El-Batrawi, who the SEC previously barred from being a public company CEO, is using new investment rules[1] to get uninformed investors to invest in his otherwise hollow company. The company is airing commercials on CNBC to try and get investors. The funds from the IPO will largely flow to Mr. El-Batrawi and the other directors.

-The offering site: https://yayyoipo.com/

-SEC filing highlights [2,3]: IPO is for $50mil. Company has $160k in assets, $3k in liabilities, $1mil net loss, $0 in revenue

-Commercials advertising the IPO (not the product) are airing on CNBC[4]

-Company Overview Document shows they expect to grow their revenue from $0 currently to $5B in 2018 (almost fortune 500 in one year!) to $30B in 2021[5]

The CEO, Ramy El-Batrawi

-Was charged by the SEC with stock manipulation scheme[6]

-In 2010, he was banned from being an officer of a public company for five years[7]

-A CNBC commentator was also indicted (but I don't think convicted?) in this case, as she allegedly took $1.1mil as part of this scheme[8,9]

The company's mobile applications:

-<500 downloads on Android, two iOS reviews. The reviews just that the app doesn't work at all.[10,11]

Preliminary Offering Circular [12]

-Page 62 states that if the company raises $50mil in the offering, Ramy El-Batrawi will then own 49.9% of the company (which currently has $160k in assets)

-Page 46 details a share buyback plan for an LLC owned by Mr. El-Batrawi

-IPO price of $8, but dilution of $6.50 if the IPO raises the max amount

-The people who determine compensation are the directors (also majority shareholders) themselves (no independent directors)

-They state that they don't have any significant foreseeable revenues in the future (very different from the Company Overview Document, above)

Your link just describes decapping and reading the state of mask programmable PROM. Reverse engineering a secure IC and coming up with an exploit is several orders (like 10) of magnitude more involved.
What to batteries have to do with clothes dryers...? You're comparing a consumable good to a household appliance. Household appliances are expected to last 5 years. 7-10 is pretty normal.
Many times I get cold and cardboard crispy chickens. It sucks. And 99% of the time it's from the drive thru..

Exactly right. I skimmed the link looking for photos of trash island until I thought critically about it. Especially embarrassing as I majored in geography and remote sensing and know exactly what these studies are like :)
For the Docker trademark, we will adopt guidelines similar to other open-source products, such as Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

For Moby, there is no need for a strict trademark policy because Moby is a "meta-platform". In other words downstreams don't run Moby: they build their own specialized platform with moby. So they don't need to worry about the Moby trademark anymore than they need to worry about the trademark of gcc or make. Anyone who uses Moby to build their platform will be more than welcome to say "built with Moby".
Because dryers are expensive appliances. If they're going to make one that only lasts one tenth as long, it better cost one tenth of the price too.

The big money is in productionizing and running it on bigger datasets.

Kaggle competitions are not a data-science-product-for-hire kind of thing, like some kind of logo design contest. It is a sport. Super GM chess competitions see smaller prize pools.

Mediocre people, including me, would compete for free (just to get access to interesting data like this). The really talented people are not driven by money, but by competition and fame.

Increasing the prize money is more of a marketing move and only attracts more low-to-mediocre people trying to get lucky in a lottery: It won't increase the quality of top 10 solutions. And no computer vision PhD/professor is going to drop everything he/she is working on for a small chance to win 400k.

Strange that it is showing a view looking back, and according to the legend of its current location, looking either front or back should both be nighttime, but we are seeing daytime. Edit: now the legend shows daytime, but we seem to have missed the whole sunrise thing.
My point was that the dynamic technique in the posted code was written in a very small, contained point where it would be impossible due to the signature of the surrounding argument for it to go wrong.

void React(Animal me, Animal other)
{
ReactSpecialization(me as dynamic, other as dynamic);
}

The writer just finished a reread of the first book. The link to the series of articles is literally right at the top of the page above the title. And there were a number of fans of the books who hated the movie when it came out in 1984. It's an interesting take, or we wouldn't be talking about it still, but kind of divisive and not a great adaptation of the novel IMO.
Batteries are also (relatively) cheap and easy to replace.

If my dryer was $50-$200 and could be carried in one hand, I'd be (grumpily) okay with it only lasting 2 years.
Agreed: the writing is poor for reasons unrelated to grammar.
I would ask an opposite question, why were so many people bothered? When the fork happened, Ethereum was just a baby (and still is). It was barely out of Alpha (Frontier) stage, in very early Beta stage.

Letting the hacker walk away with millions at that point would have been silly. It was enough Ether to give the hacker the funds to DOS the system to death for years to come if he wanted to.

> There's just so much complexity in even the 1.1 spec.

Not sure if you meant to imply that, but "even" here suggests that 2.0 is an increase in complexity over 1.1, which I'm not sure is true. There is some new stuff, but also a lot of edge cases simplified and entire bodies of cruft ripped out (for example, XML DTDs and all associated baggage are gone).
Actually, a 737-700 burns less than $2200 worth of fuel per hour, depending on operating weight, and how good a deal on the fuel the airline receives.

737-700 burns approximately 750 Gallons per hour at approximately $2.50/Gallon for Jet-A1 purchased wholesale. $1875/Hr for the fuel.
Base classes already have to carry their runtime type with them anyway. As do nodes of an algebraic data type. You may well be right that the compiler might not be "sufficiently smart" to see this very limited use of dynamic and realise no special reflection magic is actually required. But considering dynamic is only used to actually pull out the runtime type in the example code, and not to call arbitrary methods on it that may or not be there, I assumed - maybe wrongly - that the runtime hit would be the same as the branching that occurs in Ocaml or Haskell or F# when it comes across a "match" statement.

But to answer your question - yes, entirely based on gut reaction and what a compiler would ideally be able to do given the code posted. So very probably wrong.

No, to expand a bit, there were a few classes of flood plain. Some were extreme and the province bought those owners out and tore down the homes. However, there were a ton of properties in the intermediate zone. They would get help to remediate their homes but that home would never qualify for assistance again. As can be imagined, if you sell the home, the next owner needs to be notified that the house no longer qualifies for assistance.

This is a global problem for packages, and I think there's a push for a feature where developers can mark for a crate how stable it is. Anyways for the packages without passing tests we already know it can't be stable yet, as it doesn't even have unit test passing guarantee :)

I feel like the prequels don't fit with the rest of the series, which got weirder and weirder as they went further into the future timeline. The prequels, etc. kind of just got bland and pedestrian. But some of the characters were interesting and it wasn't a completely terrible read. Just not as good as what Frank Herbert would have done.
This is the main reason.

The difference in the longevity of my clothes -- same exact articles, same brand, same material, thickness, size and stitching -- from switching from a "hotbox" dryer to condensation dryer was initially amazing. No more did cuffs and collars start to crack and fail, nor did my shirts slowly develop small tears.

The latest (2014 is when they really started to hit the market) heat pump dryers dry clothes even cooler still, albeit since they're new tech they're quite a bit more expensive right now.

In Europe, a "condensation dryer" is so common, they're just called a "dryer", with no differentiating term. Additionally some countries (Switzerland I think) I believe don't even allow hotbox dryers anymore (and their needed conduit and vents) as part of fire/building code. Condensation dryers simply have a high quality lint filter (that truly does trap it all) and vent to atmosphere, since they just use a heat exchanger.

All while using far less electricity than simply heating things resistively.

Yes that's correct. Although, if you're working remotely you're not likely to be making much over $100K, so it may still be worth it. Your take home may still be close to working in the Valley, and your cost of living, excluding food will be less than half.

I'm Canadian though, so I don't have to deal with the long-armed-fingers-in-my-pockets embrace of Uncle Sam. Every other country in the world is sensible enough to only tax residents.
Looking at the spot prices on our AWS account (us-east-1), most of the time you're looking at around 25% full price. Some instance types seem to go lower than this (r4 is about 12%) but it looks like the 'resting point' is around 25% for the ones I skimmed.

Here's a specific anecdote of how I did it in Palo Alto (after just arriving in the US from South Africa):

The first day I was in Palo Alto (and the US), I had absolutely no contacts and was severely jet lagged. I had just moved to the US to establish my startup (https://journeyapps.com) in the US, raise "Silicon Valley VC" and chase the dream ;) tl;dr - JourneyApps is a platform for businesses to quickly developer mobile apps for internal use.

I walked down University Avenue, and spotted Palo Alto bicycles. I walked in (very nervous) and asked one of the sales people if the manager is in. Jeff (the manager), was there and asked what I wanted. I explained I'd just moved here, and was working on a startup that eliminates paper forms.

He was kind enough to not kick me out, and (because it was closing time), spent some time talking to me about how they sell bicycles and which paper forms he uses. He also explained how much of a pain it is.

I kept delving into the details of his business, which he absolutely loves, so he was keen to keep talking. After forming a good idea of what his world looks like, I asked if he'd be keen to do an experiment with us. We'd make an app that does bicycle sales on a tablet, and bring it to him in a day or two. The experiment would be free, he just needs to tell us what works and what doesn't.

He was really keen, and gave me copies of the forms he uses. Overnight we built an app on our platform that acts like his paper forms. The next day we rolled out in his store, and waited for bicycle sales.

The app worked, and we learnt a heck of a lot about US business culture, even though it was just a "small family owned" bicycle store.

Eventually we raised the mythical Silicon Valley VC money and got our first Fortune 100 customers, but the process stayed remarkably similar:

1) Find someone who's passionate about their business

2) Talk to them with genuine interest and learn about their world

3) Be upfront and open about which problems you think you can help with, and which not

4) Over deliver.
> At the end of the project, appliance manufacturers including GEA will be ready to invest in this technology and commercialize it. This will result in the U.S. becoming the leader in the clothes drying industry and generate new jobs and innovative applications of the technology.

Pretty sure as soon as China is aware of this idea (if not already), they will have something in production and out the door faster and at a much larger scale than the US. Could someone explain why innovative ideas like this have to be published before they're actually built?
