In Sabre emails can be like 70 characters long. But periods count as two characters, as do underscores, and @ counts as four. I mean given the choice between period and cross of lorraine I know which I am choosing to include.

Another caveat on this. Some people are forced into "big data" solutions not because their data is inherently "big data", but because their applications output data with wanton disregard for its arrangement or structure, making it so only systems designed to manage massive streams can readily handle it.

Many databases that I regularly touch would shrink an order of magnitude or more if someone went through, redid the layout, and scripted a process to perform the migration.

This assumes it is widely known what you "need to know" to do your job well.

This website is really frustrating to use.
plain wrong.
there is a 2-year warranty within 6 months the seller needs to actually prove that it worked correct. after that you (buyer) need to prove it.
there is __never__ a warranty (under law, the manufacturer can make a special guarantee like apple care of course) between the manufacturer and the buyer (at least in the eu and might change if seller == manufacturer) the warranty is always between the _seller_ and the _buyer_. if the seller is something like amazon than you give your defective product back to amazon (amazon than of course has the same warranty between his seller/manufacturer).
b2b is the same (but also has some special rules and might be (more) country dependant).

Do less of it? Probably the number one tip. But reduction is rarely an acceptable solution.
If you report income as an independent contractor/self-employment,
you pay both sides of it (since otherwise people would artificially
class themselves as contractors to pay less).

In general, that's true in the UK, but because of the various allowances, categories, and thresholds, if Uber is a contracting company, and the drivers are individual freelancers/contractors, less tax is paid.

There are complicated rules to ensure this is only allowed in cases of genuine freelancing/self-employment (IR35 is one part of those rules), but Uber has previously lost court cases on parts of those rules, where drivers were ruled to be employees rather than freelancers [1].

In IT consultancy (and other high-paid jobs), it's generally more tax-efficient for the worker to be an independent contractor (but has to satisfy various rules to do so). For lower-paid jobs like driving for Uber (and the general "gig economy"), it's in the companies' interest to label the worker as "self-employed", which means the worker misses out on all sorts of worker protection regulations whilst the employer saves on costs and taxes. Many companies skirt the limit of the regulations, and end up in court as a result.

Nice article. There's been a lot of ink spilled about the word histogram problem and the Unix/McIlroy solution vs. Knuth's solution, e.g.:

http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2011/12/more-shell-less-egg...

I always liked McIlroy's solution because it's shorter. But it bugged me that in theory it was O(n log n) and not O(n).

But this post gives some good evidence that this doesn't matter for problems of most practical sizes. And I've actually used McIlroy's solution in practice and I've never found speed to be an issue.

Of course it's sorting variable length strings rather than fixed-length records, so there's probably some subtlety. But I like this article because it tests your assumptions.
It's an interesting use-case where the data is all known up-front.

I'd be interested to see an incrementally-increasing benchmark. I'd imagine the cache-miss penalty from the HashSet is countered by the continuous re-sorting/copying/moving from the Array solution.

But that's why we measure, right?

This is especially true if you allow them to frame the action as "hiding". L

First you must ask them to not use loaded terminology like "hiding" when dealing with information you own and don't feel like accessing. Don't answer "yes" or "no" to whether you're hiding something. If you use their words then they have a huge advantage.

Other early mathematical/written work was for taxes and debt records, but also recording business transactions, adjudicating land boundary disputes, managing subcontracted work quotas, and so on.

First, you're basing your argument on a mistaken premise that progressive taxation is okay. Second, it's relatively clear that you're going to be paying a certain rate in taxes, whereas your Uber prices can now have a huge, unforeseen jump in pricing because <insert personal reason here>. It's the difference between knowing you have to pay a higher rate because you're not a "Shopper's club member" vs. having an arbitrary fee added to your grocery at checkout because you're carrying a Louis Vuitton bag.

And I'm not arguing this from a purely economics perspective. Yes, I know discriminatory pricing has its place in our society today and yes, I know it's profit maximizing, "fair," etc. But what's different here is that unlike airlines that have an algorithm deciding the same price for anyone buying that seat at that particular time, Uber can discriminate against you for very personal reasons, or general reasons that can discriminate against the racial makeup of a neighborhood, the disabled, etc.

Hats off to your sense of duty to capitalism that'd make Milton Friedman proud, but the world doesn't work like an Econ 101 textbook. If Uber's profit maximizing algorithm is discriminatory against protected classes, it's illegal. If it's profit maximizing by overcharging people lulled into usage due to habit, dying phones, etc. it's still predatory.

P.S. regarding your "think of the children" critique, I'm simply offering a direct counterexample to your "whatever price you pay and agree to == not getting ripped off." According to you, it does seem like you can be ripped off after all, even at a price you were willing to pay.

The build quality is high because it's meant to be touched. Think about it, how often do you touch your TV at home or your monitor? If you're using a Windows 10 all-in-one, you'll likely notice that it's not quite the same as a standard monitor. Now imagine a group of people touching it continuously throughout the day, and instead of gingerly tapping away at it with their fingers, they're treating it like a piece of office furniture. The Jamboard feels like a nice piece of office furniture from Herman Miller vs. something cheap from Costco. It might seem expensive, but you get what you pay for.

The price will more than justify itself for any business that understands the utility of a collaborative whiteboard that seamlessly integrates with the tools they they already use. Plus, it's one of those things that you have to experience to fully understand.
>Setting up machine on AWS is more complicated than locally, and requires some admin skills.

There are tons of guides online where you can learn how to do so in <5 mins. Setting up the computer by yourself is more complicated I would say, and would take a first timer days rather than hours.

>If you use spot instances, you need to handle checkpointing

Again, not a big deal to learn.

>The goal of a person who starts working with deep learning is to learn deep learning, not how to setup machines, manage them, work with checkpoints, etc.

I mean, if you're buying a GPU and setting it up, you're more than likely assembling the computer by yourself. You'll also have to maintain it properly. Then you'll have to look for correct drivers and other software which can get frustrating (it did for me).

On the other hand, I just could use a step by step process for the AWS instances since they had a few specific types of GPUs and I didn't have to even think, just copy/paste the commands from the webpage to the terminal. There are even AMIs which setup everything for you, which would require even less effort, but I don't trust them so I go with a clean disk.

Moreover, learning how to use AWS is a much more valuable skill than putting together computers so time well invested I would say.
I'd love to, but no plans currently. It was originally a hack week project that just turned large scale.

There are however people who can fairly easily write graph traversal and recursive code on a whiteboard. I wouldn't mind someone not knowing Dijkstra's well enough to code it from memory, but I'd be leery of someone who struggled with basic recursion, either writing the code or running through it and reasoning about it.

> I choose 64-bit integers, but strings would do fine as well.

No it would not.

Sorting 64 bits integers in a vector is fast obviously since they are stored contiguously in memory, so you get to benefit from all the caching layers (L1, L2, L3, TLB) nicely.

Since string are of unknown size, the actual string content is stored somewhere in the heap and reference it via a pointer [1].
If you have a vector of strings, to compare string i and string j, you will need to make those 2 pointers dereference , which will jump to 2 random memory locations.

With the hash table you already pay for 1 indirection, which is really what is slow here. With a vector<string> you now also need to pay for 1 indirection, so the performance compared to a vector<int> would be very different.

since otherwise people would artificially class themselves as contractors to pay less

That is exactly what they do do. IT, media, even public sector, it is rampant. The Inland Revenue keep trying to crack down on it but contractors are very sly about it and always find a loophole to technically meet the requirement as if they were a genuine small business.

I spend a fair amount of time telling people not to overhype Bitcoin/blockchains (I even did so in another place in this thread), but even to me this is stupid. Some highlights:

> The USA has the world's largest GNI by some measures, it holds thousands of tons gold in Fort Knox and other places. In 1971 the dollar was an abstraction of its gold reserves, since then its been an abstraction of that abstraction.

Bitcoin is an abstraction of an abstraction of that abstraction. Care to explain why 2 levels is fine but 3 levels is obviously worthless?

> Any how, the Bitcoin scam claimed a magic wand could create value, so unsurprisingly other scams arose - Ethereum, Ripple, NEM etc. all currently have billion dollar market caps.

Bitcoin has value for the same reason that anything has value. Because people value it. No magic wands needed.

> Bitcoin was not created by a Ponzi, but by some criminal who has kept their identity completely secret. If this doesn't wake you up to the con, I don't know what will.

This is the icing on the cake of stupidity. You call him a criminal. What law has he broken?

This is my understanding at least.

So there will basically be no transparency to anyone involved in the transaction except Uber if this is adopted?
