I think you all are missing the point. As Google gave away Android for free with the support of their brand, services and user base it essentially killed all the alternatives (MeeGo, WebOS, BlackBerry 10) and companies that were focused on software (Palm, Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, BlackBerry). It's not at all unexpected that these Asian companies can't compete in terms of systems design, both in terms of experience and ownership, but also just cost. Almost no one is making any money (other than Samsung, which is extremely very vertically integrated, at least in theory). Throwing in cheaper chips and making the software flashier is really the only business model that is available, even if some manufacturers like Mi do offer long term support.
Just wanted to say that the site looks amazing! Loved the animations and the attention to detail!
Ensure that developers/owners may be held personally liable. There should be lots of ways to do this: bonds, insurance, promissory notes, collateral.
If your code is a library that will be used by other people, using interfaces allows them to provide their own part for any socket even if your library only has one implementation.

It is often used by test code, for example, that wants to use a fake version of something the library provides.

Have you tried selling a new, unproven product to an entrenched industry like construction? I have, and it's much harder than refactoring spaghetti code or learning Haskell.

>To bring them into the fold, the team started running superintendent “Ask Me Anything (AMA)” sessions at the office, where the two goals were to celebrate them as experts in the field, and to learn as much as possible about their lives, work and problems.... During these events, the superintendents got to know individuals at PlanGrid too, and walked away bigger evangelists than they were before.

I haven't seen this done before, and it's a great idea.
I'm afraid this is too abstract for the intended audience.
Wait what, their estimated payback time is 60 YEARS?

This is terrible. They've gotta be just trying to snipe rich early-adopter-for-the-status types.
"Camera Company" built on the cameras of other companies.
The most infamous misleading video that currently claims to be a "concept video" was originally deceptively titled "Just another day in the office at Magic Leap" and described as "This is a game we’re playing around the office right now". Only AFTER they got busted, did Magic Leap retroactively change the title and description so they were not so blatantly false and misleading.

Before they got busted and white-washed the lies, a skeptical Time magazine reporter didn't think it looked real, and asked Magic Leap about it directly. The official Magic Leap company spokesman mendaciously lied to him that "the video was authentic":

http://time.com/3752343/magic-leap-video/

It's unclear whether the video shows an actual game overlaid onto a real-world office space or just an artistic rendering of what the game might look like in the future. The way the gun rests so realistically in the gamer's hand certainly raises suspicions. Still, a company spokesperson confirmed to Gizmodo that the video was authentic.

"This is a game we’re playing around the office right now," Magic Leap wrote on its official YouTube account.
Is this true tho? If a product is always under priced, what incentive does a seller have to put it up for sale?

For any market to work consistently, the market maker has to be basically neutral, imho.
So just landing page + mailing list "subscribe" button + Google Ads to drive traffic?
Yes. Some known realtors underprice the property to start bidding war.

The foreign money in the hot markets also doesnt help. It sucks to see a house list for 2.9m and sell for 3.7. it happens quite often here in the bay.
Spectacles aren't really comparable to Google Glass, they're more like an action camera, such as a GoPro, but dumbed down and really easy to use. What counts as high user engagement for such a product? It's the sort of thing you only take out for events and special outings.
Are Southwest Airlines involved in this db devel?
My reasoning for not using it is largely the same. Especially when there are plenty of high-quality open source browsers, including two major ones (Chromium and Firefox). I'm not willing to switch to a proprietary browser just because it's a bit shinier.
"There are no absolute truths." can simply be false: There are some (doesn't need to be that particular sentence that is absolutely true).
"Digital Witches and Wizards wanted" has a Harry Potter ring to it.

Magician, Mage, Conjuror, Illusionist, Phosphomancer are all gender neutral.
It varies pretty widely based on the material - asphalt shingles are the cheapest of the cheap, and that's what most people would be comparing this to. Tile/slate are much more expensive.

How do the cars make money when in the garage?
Cash and equivalents went up by $1.3Billion - they're just stocking money in a cookie jar and declaring it as a loss? Great company for stock owners!
35K is also the base MSRP which almost never happens in a car sale.
I think you're severely underestimating the scale and reach of Facebook. There's a reason it's a ~450B company.

It really does have that many users. Even if a solid 20% of them are all fake accounts (which I don't think the percentage is that high), it's still a large part of the connected world.

There's a reason Facebook is developing technology to bring the rest of the unconnected world online. It's because they know they'll reach a point where they'll have the whole connected market, and the only way forward is to grow the market to it's full potential.

Don't let your hatred of the product or company blind your understanding of its scale and influence on the world (both positive and negative).
Opendoor does exactly this?
He may have also been implicitly including an offset for the energy cost. A bit disingenuous, but they've done that before.
I don't intend to contradict you, I'm just providing my angle on where the original comment came from.
Stop allowing people to speak to me in ways that I get rate limited or detached for, and I'll be nicer to you. Given the state of political discourse on this site I'm going to get banned anyway, that's not a threat.
KISS: Keep it simple stupid
Appraisals magically come in at the exact offer price unless the offer is just completely off the charts insane. Appraisals are often times BS or, at best, just whatever you need them to be within some rather large margin (+/- 10%? 20%?).

I can tell you that most of us who coded Meridian 59 knew what MUDs were =)

In retrospect, there were a lot of things that Meridian wanted to claim we were first at, but there were people who beat us on almost everything: graphics in a MUD, 3D controls to a virtual world, etc. The one exception MAY be that we were the first MMO/MUD to have a box product and a subscription fee (most online games before us used daily or hourly charges, but we came out right around when AOL changed the billing model, and everyone else rearranged their billing models to match).
That's kind of by design. You're supposed to develop with virtualenv. Then, if someone packages your app for inclusion into the distro, it's on them to package the compatible dependencies and your app. (I mean, it would be nice if the devs helped here, but that's what distribution maintainers are for)

Not sure why you need docker though. It's fairly easy to distribute python libraries in a simple tarball.
What do you think that picture is meant to say? To me, it is meant to convey that regardless of political affiliation, more "intelligence" makes you believe in your convictions more strongly, whereas - regardless of political affiliation - being more curious barely affects your beliefs, except to make you less skeptical of global warming.

So I didn't see that image as bigoted.
It's definitely the lifetime of Tesla and not your house, roof, or owner.
That's an interesting point. For most beliefs, they are pretty long held and tend to move slowly (morality), but it's interesting to consider how science changes and what people's thoughts on that are, and recent quick changes in beliefs.

Example, diet fads, or what new thing causes or prevents cancer (red wine/chocolate/low carb/high carb). Some people really strongly hold these beliefs, and they do get moved around when new beliefs come out. To their detriment, usually (especially with diet fads).

I'd rather have someone have a strongly questioned strong belief, a weakly held weak belief, and the ability to know that just because you believe something doesn't make it exist.
In bay area it can go up to 150k for a 2.5m$ house. Split two ways.
> so you follow ReSharper’s advice and do this (replace Queue<T> with IEnumerable<T>)

Actually, resharper does a disservice sometimes. Most classes have their own methods, which are optimized for that container.

It once bit me in the arse really hard: after following resharper’s advice I got around 3x slowdown of the algo overall (that IEnumerable was in a tight loop, which was slowed down really hard).

And I "deserve" to commute for over an hour to my nice awesome office that's in San Francisco from some distant suburb, because - why? Why do I "deserve" such punishment? Because someone was born at the right time and place 70 years ago and could afford a place in San Fran working a blue collar job and now fuck everyone else, he got his? Why? Why sacrifice all future generations on the altar of some baby boomer's "retirement plan" (said property?)

I'm not aware of any country or city (besides London) that does this to young people. It's insane to be making over $100,000 anywhere in the world and be expected to pay $5000/month for a studio just because building some high-density housing would diminish some entrenched gentry's view of the ocean.

The NIMBY's can all go and shoot themselves in the face, as far as I'm concerned.
People mostly get offended when you start demonizing them by comparing them to holocaust deniers. The problem I see is that people are more interested in convincing people that climate change will have apocalyptic consequences than they are in discussing solutions to the problem.
> I've heard the stat thrown about that 50% of energy generated is lost to transmission. If that's true then there's efficiency to generation at home.

It's more like 5%. The larger numbers you're thinking of might be including generation losses. Coal plants are around 33% efficient in terms of converting the fuel's energy into electricity. Natural gas is better, but still under 50%.

Tax assesment is useless in california?
In comparison to the other garbage, yeah it might be the winner. But it's still garbage.

I was one of the first users of the beta program. At the time, Ludvig's philosophy of simplicity + hidden functionality via interactive views shone through the UI and it was very pleasant to use. The 5 star rating system was the icing on the cake. A step down in functionality from Amarok's playlist creation system, and lacking the fine search and organization capabilities of foobar2000, but it did the job.

However, the UX of Spotify has hideously morphed over time. Now the UI mostly uses Chromium Embedded Framework which brings huge overhead and causes lots of rendering latency. The font size and padding has grown, then shrunk, then grown again, each time showing less tracks on a page at once. Views that were once interactive with left and right clicks became static. Star ratings turned into Like/Unlike.

Their user behavior tracking has naturally been cranked up to 11, though it is better than a lot of similar products, I still have no desire for a music service to track anything other than the music I search and play. Even tracking the song titles in my personal library is an unacceptable breach of privacy.

The slow and steady social creep and tracking through Facebook is also unacceptable.

It doesn't utilize P2P anymore, which I considered a plus because I love supporting and legitimizing P2P tech.

It has become less of an engineer-led company and more of a traditional company with shareholder interests

I could really go on. The downsides of Spotify as a music player are much greater than they were at product launch.

The most infuriating thing about it is that Spotify never fielded these changes with users before committing to them, and each and every time when a simple addition to the settings panel could make the changes optional, they were instead forced upon us.

I don't like a music player that frequently changes its UI without my approval. I like a music player that puts me in charge of the UI.

I no longer pay for Spotify and have returned to getting my music through other means.

On my Linux and Windows machines, I mostly use foobar2000 and VLC, and Amarok when I need powerful playlisting tools. If Radionomy ever gets their shit straight with Winamp (They bought it from AOL in '14 and have to clean out all proprietary code) then I will definitely consider going back.

Give me a streaming service that doesn't spy on me unnecessarily and has an API so that I can implement a plugin to my favorite existing media player or otherwise an absolutely beautiful and immutable interface, and of course a large library and doesn't shaft its artists, and I will pay for it. Anything less than that, in 2017, sucks.

>Well know I feel like a bit like an asshole with how abrasive my response was, sorry. Kudos to you for not escalating.

I didn't feel it was abrasive at all.

For my part, I'm just upset that I went to such great lengths (in the comment I linked) to unpack where the bikeshed metaphor does or doesn't apply, disentangling the various issues and merging them into a general understanding, right where that comment was needed, and yet that's the one that no one is responding to... (what's worse, it was downvoted less than a minute after I posted it ).

>In response to your escalated names like PubesDB... my opinion is that I agree I wouldn't work with them, not because of any internal disgust reaction, but because the name signals a level of maturity that I don't want in my stack. Some people might have the same reaction to Cockroaches.

Right, like I said, "we're haggling over the details"; it should be regarded as a question of which names are so disgusting to be out of the question, yet people are dismissing the entire naming issue as "lol emotional primates".

Nextgen NLP search / digital assistant.
mine came from a hackathon. (for reference it was an online tournament platform) So it was two people and 48hrs building mocks, getting basic stuff rendered and implementing live reloading in browser (one of the main points for our idea). We ended up winning the hackathon (over 100 teams) so we considered that "validated" and decided we could try building the rest of it.

Spent another weekend building out basic functionality (login/register for tournament/report scores/"staff" ability to resolve disputes) Then we reached out to a gaming league who held tournaments three times a week. They used it had some issues, we fixed them. Opened it up to two more leagues and they all loved it and wanted to start putting money into it. This was the point when we felt "validated" again and considered this our MVP.

At that point it was about 6 days of coding and about a month of testing with these three "clients". We then ran with that MVP for another month, opening up to more people, and collected feedback before doing another round of coding.

But isn't embedded programming more complex? as in, it requires a well founded understanding of CS concepts, as well as requires advanced ability in programming and math.
This article doesn't address what I believe to be the actual problem: why should you "believe" in facts to begin with? Despite popular belief, there's no inherent reason to believe in facts. You could argue that factual information can make you money, however that's not necessary true. One can become quite rich by spreading lies, actually.

So... why believe in facts at all? The answer to this will generally include some intellectual elitism, driving away the group I describe in the first paragraph even further. People might use words such as correct and right, but those words already impose a value judgement to begin with, only further begging the question.
Fake news.

That sounds about right to me.

A roof that exceeds 10% of the purchase price is likely to push the house outside of the price range of buyers in the target market.

I know a friend of mine (who has a solar system, not quite the same) but basically got almost nothing for it. The aesthetics of a "Solar Roof" is better but I don't see it raising the value of the house by more than 10%.

I used their calculator using the estimates when I had my roof done last time, and it is just not economically feasible.

$60k roof vs. $6k roof.

Net of $12k savings over 30 years.

$60k over 30 years (adjusting for inflation in conservative investments) is easily going to hit $180k.
Facebook saw the "we're saturating the number of people on the Internet" wall years ago. That's why they zero-rate the app, and integrated SMS notifications and had J2ME and SIM apps.
We're not talking about just a compiler here. Nobody says "You should try CL.exe, it's really awesome at compiling!" No, they say "Visual Studio is the best C++ IDE you'll ever use." Which is true, but not because of the compiler. And without all the Windows-specific libraries, intellisense and code analysis tools that are second-to-none can't work.
First of all, Wikipedia isn't infallible. Second, genkaos and myself grew up on different sides of the world. Culturally different, and yet, in our own respective cultures we learned, however wrong it is, the implicit meaning of mongo when used derogatively. It doesn't have several meanings as you pointed out, it has one, which does not mean it is the same for genkaos. As you pointed out in the Wikipedia link, it refers to certain type of people. When used as an insult, towards to a, whether the person is white, Hispanic, black, whatever, it is implied that that person is that sort of person and a retard. Thus, my comment of it being racist as well.

Now, even if I had associated MongoDB with that explanation, and now that I do remember it's inherent meaning under a certain context, I take no offense in it since the people behind MongoDB didn't have that intent. Obviously this is an assumption on my part.

Let us not get derailed from the main point, which is the 'visceral' feelings that cockroachDB has on so many people as you mentioned in several comments. It is true, it happens to me as well. But not the word itself, but when I'm around one. Those feelings of fear, whatever, when around one are irrational. I don't remember the explanation why it's irrational, I've never worked in the field of psychology.

The goal of the book was to give readers a broader understanding about how our decisions in how we choose to make our products, have very real impacts in people's lives. Then allow the reader to decide for themselves what their ethical redlines are.

To be fair, even their non-solar tempered glass tiles seem like a better option than slate/tile due to the durability. I'd consider even just that over asphalt, due to the longevity.
Well investing in solar panels isn't either, 30 years is a lot of time for such (currently not very efficient) technology. Price of the electricity could go down significantly as current renewable or nuclear generators get improved over time, or perhaps someone will finally figure out how to do the fusion efficiently?
>They're now doing Model 3's for $35K.

What do you mean it isn't the point? They haven't even started production on the Model 3, let alone delivered one for $35k, which is very unlikely to happen. So it's yet to be seen what they'll deliver for 35k. And by the way, the second model(turned out to be the X) was also supposed to be cheaper than the first (Model S). It wasn't. Musk is already announcing the 4th model will be cheaper than the 3.
