Information asymmetry at its best, not that there is anything wrong with it.

If Uber charges X for trip, and pays the driver Y for the service, it's obviously a taxi company. As such, I expect authorities to enforce the licensing laws, especially that the public support of Uber starts to diminish.
Many US workers are not citizens. Your solution would mean losing both their job and home if they were stopped on their way back into the US.

A better solution is to not allow people to travel with anything that would be catastrophic if lost. My former employer would give employees loaner devices for travel to certain countries.

Hobbyists have been putting down crazy 0-60 times for years. For example, here's an electric Mustang conversion with a 0-60 time under 2 seconds:

https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2015/06/17/electric-mustang-re...

Here's a Datsun 1200 with a 1.8 second 0-60:

https://www.geek.com/geek-cetera/worlds-fastest-electric-car...

That one was built twenty-three years ago!

Tesla's achievement isn't the 0-60 time itself, but rather doing so in a car that 1) is a practical daily driver family car 2) will withstand a couple hundred thousand miles of driving without replacing major components 3) is safe and robust enough to put into the hands of thousands of ordinary consumers and 4) can be manufactured for a cost that is not entirely ludicrous.

Which is impressive, but unrelated to the motor. In fact, the rear motor in the P100D is the same as the one in my 85 and essentially the same as the one that was in the original 2012 Model S, and the front motor is just a smaller, less powerful version.

The main innovations which enabled this are related to the battery pack, not the motors. Most of that innovation is cutting costs. It's really easy to get a lot of power out of a large battery pack, and Tesla's cheap batteries means they can put large ones in their cars without completely blowing the cost up. They just about maxed this out with the P85D, which did 0-60 in around 3 seconds. At that point they started to be limited by the amount of current that the battery's fuses could handle. They got past that problem by using a "smart" pyrotechnic fuse instead of the traditional melty-metal kind, resulting in "ludicrous mode" on the P85D and P90D. Then the P100D bumps it up a bit more just by virtue of having a larger battery.

There is; they are hemorrhaging money, and only manage to stay afloat because of the billions of dollars being shoveled into the furnace by investors and nation-states. In a way, venture capital is subsidizing your rides.

They're not insane, though. They're buying market share and betting that they can pull self-driving cars into their fleets while they still have the market on lock. Without having to pay drivers or deal with their whiny attempts to enforce employment laws (against an app! Crazy,) they see themselves being able to print money hand over foot.

This is how you get away with being a dirtbag, in any situation. Move very quickly, and get to where you're going before anyone manages to claw you back far enough. Possession seems to be 100% of the law, when it comes to companies in this country.
> motivation to continue or the will to stop.

Either one. I keep imagining quitting, but then pulling myself back. That thought of it'll get better in a month, or two months, etc. I'm hoping to motivate myself to march through as I once did, or to drop it and not look back. Not to be constantly conflicted.

Land by value is a much more interesting question, than by acreage. Urban cores can be worth hundreds of thousands of times more, for the same amount of area.

Avoid rush hours as much as possible. If you must commute for work, work early (7-3) or late (11-7) rather than normal business hours.

Of course, in some jobs this just isn't possible.

In the USA, gas taxes cover only a tiny fraction of damage to roadway. In Europe it heavily exceeds it, and most of Canada is about break-even. And that's of course ignoring that gas taxes are meant to not simply be user-fees for the roadway. Also ignoring costs outside of infrastructure - stuff like traffic enforcement and health costs. And it assumes the land the road was built on was free - which it obviously isn't, particularly in the kind of dense environments where road widening is impossible.
That may be true, but I assume Uber commits to paying drivers $X per mile or hour or something similar (as stated in that article). Surely, you won't drive for Uber if you don't know exactly how much money you make and if it's always subject to changes and experimentation?
This only holds if you believe that deliberately making decisions that will cost the company more than they should is in your career interests.

As said in this topic - it's true that in some places, resume-driven development pays off for the developers. It's not the same everywhere and to me it looks more like a symptom of a dysfunctional structure than par for the course in business.

This means it is in your career interests to increase company revenue and/or reduce costs, because this will make you more attractive to many companies (the ones we would likely want to work on) when you move on.
Well, for every link you paste to prove that IQ is a credible measure for general intelligence, I can also paste links of studies rejecting the use of IQ as the measure of intelligence.

I'm shocked that there is no property tax in the UK. It seems like the only way to ensure land is maximally utilized.
Actually they ask for social media accounts when applying for a visa waiver now, e.g. ESTA.

I bet they'll mark you as suspicious if you travel without any electronics too, because that has become uncommon.

I completely agree with your points.
Potato/potahto, really. Good luck getting a visa next time if you've ever been "denied entry".

Really, for non-Americans the best advice is just don't go in the first place. Second best advice is just comply with border security personnel.

Any tricks like leaving the battery empty, bringing a burner, not bringing a laptop and getting a loaner when you get there etc, they do nothing but raise suspicions.

>However, in general w cannot be considered a constant: if all n keys are distinct, then w has to be at least log n

We can't ignore the log n, unless the number of distinct elements is small with respect to n. Since this wouldn't be known a priori, we can't make that assumption.

Also, note that if we know, a priori, that the number of distinct elements is small wrt N, we can simply use the hash set for O(N) without any of the problems he goes to outline in the article.
I wonder how the tradeoff between precision, speed of movement, and robustness of the system was handled. Will a moving car on a bumpy road suffer from corrupted signals?
For 5% of humans living in USA, or 10% of humans living in Europe, it's pretty easy if you have a bank account: coinbase.com. I don't know the situation in China as well, but it's doable as some of the price action is driven by Chinese buyers. So definitely not as much of a bubble as your comment may suggest.

This almost assures some quite terrible conclusions in the long-term:

When it becomes technologically possible to interface electronics into our brains, corporations will have almost unprecedented opportunities to do some really terrible things directly when the world becomes socially-pressured to be neurally-connected.

I say "almost" because the manufacturing of consent and desires exist now and it is popularly believed to "apply other people but never me," a direct connection has the potential to make this manipulation cheaper and stimulate the brain in ways a glowing screen looks like banging rocks together.
What does "ascribed" vs "inherent" mean to you?
Datasets I've worked with have topped out probably at around 500-600 fields - so not as wide but often weighing in the hundreds of GB, and often with hundreds of millions of rows. Spark is our primary tool to handle cleansing, analysis, feature engineering, joins, machine learning, etc. It does quite nicely.

I'm generally for people not over complicating their stack with tools beyond their actual needs - but a lot of this stuff is quite some distance from where it was in 2013 when this article is written, in ease-of-use, ops, tooling and maturity. Its simply becoming cheaper and easier to throw even modest amounts of data through a "big data" engine like spark in many cases, than it is to use more traditional tools which might be able to do the job, but require more advanced tuning, ops, and possibly infrastructure.

And there are lots of compelling managed solutions out there these days. Amazon's EMR (elastic map reduce) is a popular option, gives you lots of tools to choose from, including Spark. Google Data Proc is similar I believe.

even in the seattle metro, home of amazon, the malls are very popular. its an ordeal finding a parking spot at any of the surrounding malls on a given day. humans have always liked going to the bazaar/market/whatever and malls are the modern version of that. online shopping doesnt provide the same satisfaction that you get from physically going out and interacting with people and things. probably why people do more binge shopping online to get the same "high". physical shopping for digital goods will probably die out, but shopping in person for clothes, cosmetics or fragrances, etc cant really be replicated online. also with amazon you never know for sure if you're buying the legitimate product or a cheap knockoff. I generally trust places like nordstrom or macys more than amazon when it comes to high end products like that.
The 'Fusion' source? I assume you mean share the 3d model file... and you used Fusion 360 software to create it.

Just curious: can you share your experience modeling this? Why Fusion 360? Because it's free? Do you have experience with Solidworks or Blender or other software? If yes, how would you compare 3d modeling in Fusion vs. other modeling software?
Wasn't lying, misread an article. And I have no idea how you think it looks untrue. Their situation is quite similar to a third world country, you're free to come and see for yourself.
This would stop a lot of important communications. Sure some repo's would benefit but others would merely wither and die. Not everyone that uses open source is a programmer or technically apt enough to put code into and editor and submit a pull request.

Reading title I thought that it will be about helping people switch to a different text editor. One that is not an improved version of a text editor from 70s.

I am a vim user, but I want to switch to something different. I mainly use it now, because of inertia. Don't bother with replying how editing model of vim is still relevant today. Or how one should think about vim as a language - a verb and a motion. I know all those arguments and I even agree with them to some extent. However I would argue that vim's interface is quite taxing for the mind - at least for my mind. Editing may be efficient, but I read more code then I edit.

There has been absolutely zero concrete evidence presented that indicates it was Seth Rich. I fail to see how this is anything more than a conspiracy theory being promoted by members of the right wing media in order to distract from the current political attacks against Trump at the expense of the family of a man who was senselessly murdered.
But people get angry and want to insult each other. Sure, it would be nicer if they wouldn't, but it is not in itself related to racism or sexism. I guess the unwarranted insults are often the most annoying, because there is no possible counter.
Yeah, that's the Galleria. I haven't been in there for at least 20 years, but it seems to be doing well enough. I think that they have lower rent and a more central location that factor in to staying afloat. I also thought they would disappear, but it seems that the Westchester will have to go down market to fill their space and that would be counter to the image they are trying to project. It's a tough place to be. They do have quite a few more kiosks around nowadays, but still without making the place less classy.
> If you want good prices, you should not shop at Amazon - you should shop at a physical retailer.

I've noticed that this has been pretty true across the board. I've basically given up shopping for things on Amazon that I know I can find locally, and going to other, more specialized, online retailers when I can't.

Just because I can't see infrared doesn't mean it won't damage my retinas through my fully dilated pupils at night when you pump up the power by 40x.

Edit: Emphasis on fully dilated. The amount of infrared energy that reaches my retinas in daylight is reduced due to pupil contraction.

Additionally, this has moving parts so what if it suddenly fails to spin and you are exposed to a continuous IR beam with fully dilated pupils at night? I'm sure that it's possible for it to heat and damage your retina in this failure scenario.
For this, I've seen several large projects push discussions to discourse or stack overflow, which are much better-suited mediums for discussion IMHO.
The premise of the parent comment is that even invisible lasers could be harmful. You pointed out that microwaves may not be as harmful at lower levels of power. I pointed out that the output of a lidar beam is far below the level that you get from sunlight, which doesn't even cause cancer and certainly doesn't blind people.

Just because I like running numbers, here's the comparison: the laser in this lidar has a power of ~40 mW, ~1000x less than sunlight. Lidar pulses are on the order of 10 nanoseconds, 100,000,000x less than a second. The energy on your eyes is less than 100 billion times less than a second in bright sunlight. There is certainly no mechanism for thermal damage to occur.
I have SP4 - despite many other issues I have with it, the kickstand DOES make it great to use on a lap. In fact I find it much easier to use on my lap than any laptop that I have used.

Being able to adjust to any angle means you can use it just as comfortably in an airport chair vs on a lounge etc.

No. Car manufacturers are and have for a long time been known as assemblers. This goes for Ford as well as Tesla. Tesla is not a battery company.

Last time I checked, Object was a type.

But if you prefer, advance a few years up to 2004 (1.5), still 5 years before Go was created.

Also HashMap is just one implementation among all of those that are available in the standard library for the Map interface, each one tailored for a specific use case, with regard to performance and memory constraints.

In Go you cannot change the behaviour of that built in hash map.

Isn't the point of interviewing that you gain an entirely new person on your team, who is contributing some 2000 hours per year to your team and hopefully staying for at least a few years?

Even if you measure in hours and assume all hours are equal (i.e., you're hiring people equal to you, not people better / more skilled in certain areas than you), the cost of hiring a person is about three orders of magnitude smaller than the expected benefit. Interviewing (and doing a good job of it) is roughly the most impactful thing you can do at a job.

If your company doesn't believe this, doesn't train people in interviews, and doesn't define interviewing to be part of people's jobs, I really have no idea why I should think you're well-managed. (I'm entirely serious. I don't know where you work, but you should get out before it breaks your brain further. I'm still recovering from the ways my previous employer broke my brain in regards to how software shops should work, and it's been a long while since I worked there.)

If your company doesn't define interviewing to be a part of the job description, do they define code review? Training? Mentorship? Management? Or is everyone expected to just write code?
I wonder why foot pedals have never caught on... Seems like they would be genuinely useful!
Nope. I was them when they get dirty, just like anything else.
I'm pretty sure I didn't retire the last of my ps/2, serial, and parallel port equipment until about 2010. Gameport and AT probably went out around '05-'07—until then USB saw very little use and if I'd had to pick all-USB or no-USB, I'd have chosen the latter. My ~3-4yr old unremarkable desktop motherboard still has several legacy ports. I've made no special effort to resist USB, I just haven't retired equipment if it's still useful.

USB came out it 1996. Peripherals stick around a long time.
A year ago when I tested the two back to back, the Apple stylus had something like half the latency of the MS one, and also seemed more accurate.

It’s hard to tell how much of that is hardware difference vs. optimization of the signal processing software though.
Even as a developer, an issue from anyone (even non-technical people) helps people find out quickly if someone else is having the same issue you are with something, even if it's not fixed.
> Think you found a bug? Fork the repo, add a failing test

It seems like this would also really help with duplicated error reports which can be burdensome to sift through, and hey if someone else comes along and has the time to fix the bug in question they now have a great means to validate their fix by.
What's the deal with the warp searching question? There are both depth and breadth first algorithms that can handle cycles. Bit annoying since the example I had in mind was Djikstra's but it turned out that was classified as a BFS instead of DFS like I thought it was. Finding the shortest path from A to D in 4 steps for example seemed more "depth" to me, but maybe the algorithm as a whole doesn't neatly fit into either.
Great episode! I know that when I focused my business and really only targeted one kind of client, my revenue went up.

I think it's great that you are so worried about the well-being of people who are disproportionately the victims of harassment.

I only wish you'd express and weigh equally a concern for the well-being of those who might be anonymously accused of harassment without evidence or opportunity to defend themselves.

I've got a surface pro 4 and use it roughly 33% of the time in 'tablet' mode. I also have a Surface Book which I used a lot in 'clipboard' mode (reversed and folded down over the keyboard). Always when drawing, and mostly when reading.

Perhaps not surprisingly I think a pixel sense "screen" that could be paired to something like a NUC wirelessly would be a pretty awesome peripheral as well. Something I intend to build out of my SP4 when I upgrade it.
In that case, is it properly anonymized? It's just lip service then. Lip service is enough to be in breach of contract with the end users.

Also: you don't feel deceived by having at least two claims to be completely unsubstantiated (the broken links)? You don't feel deceived when someone tells you a truth that implies a completely different conclusion because they omitted a crucial detail?
Yes I didn't see those comments.

Possibly, the "Is Python call by reference or call by value" question could be rewritten in a language independent form by providing correct syntax Python, the correct python output, and asking verbally "Given either this evidence OR your Python coding experience, is Python call by reference or call by value?"

I've never used Python. I breezed thru the theory and regex questions, presumably I could be a halfway decent Python programmer in a week or two, it looks reasonably non-tricky. Thats another issue, some jobs merely require syntactically correct code, others require good algos, and its a lot easier on the job to learn syntax than to learn algos.
> the wealthy and elite have dis-proportionally been landowners

I'd put that the other way around, saying the land owners have disproportionately ended up as the wealthy and powerful. The ownership of land and the huge unearned income derived from renting it to the masses looks more like cause than effect to me.
Lack of property tax doesn't prevent a free market from operating, and ideal free markets cause optimal utilization (which admittedly is not the same as maximal utilization, but then, why would you want the latter?)

Now stamp duty, that is something which prevents land in the UK from being optimally utilized.
