They seem pretty solid in terms of their specs and certifications, but for industrial equipment I'm always worried about availability and vendor support. Can I get them shipped to a customer anywhere in the world on short notice? Will my vendor's engineers come to the plant with me to solve an inscrutable issue that has brought a machine down? Those answers are "yes" for the systems I'd be replacing, and almost certainly "no" for this thing, however cool it may be.
Not surprising, no one has figured out how to monetize it properly.
The article makes the case (to me) that local + anonymous was a failed experiment. In real-life communities, local means not anonymous, and bad behavior -- which is rare whether anonymous or not -- can be tied to an individual right away.

The problem is that nasty, anonymous, and local is a terrible combination:

> That hyper-localization is also what made the cases of harassment particularly galling. Ms. Musick, one of the plaintiffs, said, “With Yik Yak, in the back of your mind, you know they’re not from around the world or other parts of the state, they’re right there in your classroom, in your dining hall. On a campus with 4,500 students, that’s a pretty small group of people. This isn’t some creepy guy in his mom’s basement in Indiana.”

In contrast, nasty, anonymous, and non-local is much easier to dismiss.

The plaintiffs tried to solve it other ways, but they couldn't. All the local authorities referred them back to Yik-Yak -- the university staff, local police -- and Yik-Yak usually did nothing and at best would hide posts.

To be clear, most of Yik-Yak was non-harassing. Useful? I don't know. Apparently not useful enough.
Nice idea!

All the new versions of Android are very much similar to an average user and my gf is always surprised when I'm so happy one of my devices is getting an update because getting "more fine grained permissions" or "customizable quick settings" are things about which an average user doesn't ever think about anyways.

It's mostly for us power users and people who just want to show off how they got something only cool/rich/smart people have. There were big differences between older versions of Android but apart from split screen which I used 3 times so far I don't see a reason to update.

I'm pretty sure the reason they don't port back the features to older androids is either because the old devices are lacking the specs or because they only want to have something to show as "new".

I know my friends avoided updating their iPhones for years because the new OSs only slowed the devices down.
> Wonder if it is possible to run an app like this at cost somehow.

Given that it's just an API serving short text snippets, the hosting costs shouldn't be more than a few cents per user per year. Let's say you're serving one university with 50,000 students, and your hosting costs are $3,000 per year... Just send out an update email once a quarter with a few ads at the end and you've more than covered your expenses.

I hear you. I just want to point out that being armed in no way implies the assembly is not peaceful.

Peaceful assembly is absolutely the way to go. My point is rather that foreign actors are violently squashing peaceful protests, so it seems foolish not to come prepared.
Sort of. The software is called "automated re-accommodation". But you're solving for several intertwined problems. Which aircraft models / tail numbers fly which flights...they have different seating capacities, nautical range, etc. Which crews are assigned to which aircraft. They aren't all qualified to fly every model. And, they aren't all in the right city, so you have to "deadhead" them there. And, finally, which passengers go on which flights.

They do have solver/optimizer algorithms, but you can imagine it's not a button press thing. There's a lot of human process, trial and error, etc. Oh, and federal laws about crew hours / legality plus union work rules. You can't just assign crews wherever you want for example...you have to consider seniority, their "home base" where they live, etc.

The story of tunables in glibc
It's a common theme in the last decade of science fiction.

In "The Unincorporated Man" (set 300 years in the future) the VR technology interfaced directly with the brain, so it was indistinguishable from reality. That made it extremely addictive and had nearly destroyed human civilization.

But I don't think anything less immersive, even something like OASIS from "Ready Player One" would be dangerous, or would make us to not care about the "real" world.

Further proof women (!!ON AVERAGE!!) just do not perform as well as men IN THIS INDUSTRY.

It should absolutely be solved, somehow, but it's not by harassing a company that hires women for what they're worth.

My personal theory is that women are so cherished - they aren't held to the same standards in education. We try to pull them into the CS department by making it easy for them. That should stop. It's ridiculing women, and making them into inferior workers.

At the same time women need to proactively become 'beta' and study exact sciences. Put in their fair share of the effort.

Fucking social sciences are "fun and easy" - and women outnumber men there.

I think women should man the fuck up already. Don't get fair salary? Go away. That's what men do.

It sounds weird, but think of it this way: If women came at a discount, why would you ever hire men? At least some companies should realize this.

Truth is you can't find a good woman programmer.
Nah; Lotus got very defocused on new C++ and cross-platform spreadsheets. Maybe Microsoft misled them on the relative importance of OS/2 vs Windows, but to my eyes it was a classic case of too much money leading to a focus on abstract high-level issues leading to bad software.

Still, it took years for 123 to really fade away, at which point Lotus was all about Notes.

Could you please give more background information? Thanks! Most of what I could find (eg http://www.nber.org/papers/w12201) points to exactly those "old wives tales" being true. And my own anecdotal experience like looking at Singapore seems to confirm that.

Please bear in mind that I already totally agree that _nominal_ GDP can be controlled by central banks independent of taxes and other real supply-side influences. Also, when the tax take is well-spend the absolute amount of taxes doesn't hinder economic growth---it's rather their effect on the margins on incentives or deadweight loss.

You don't. First of all, you don't have any warranty in regards to your phone with AT&T. Second of all, you can always flash back your original firmware. Third, there are exceptions to allow these kinds of things.

> (3) the influence and trending look of Android and iPhone

Are you talking physical or on the software side? If it's the software side, it's just software and it can improve. iOS and android both have.
Is this sarcasm, or a joke? It's not very funny, and your comments come across as misogynistic and particularly rude. You complain that "CS departments are making it easy for women and ridiculing them" and then go on to say that women should "man the fuck up?".

Edit: it would be nice if people could explain why they are downvoting me. What was off with my comment? I cannot improve my comments unless you leave a comment yourselves on how I can do that. I found the comment (now flagged) to be particularly abrasive. I go into detail with the arguments in a grandchild comment to this post.
Someone who knows nothing about psychiatry, psychology, pharmacology, abuse, trauma, personality disorder etc feels able to speak about a psychiatric diagnosis, and makes a post that contains literally nothing that's correct.

The main KPI for BA's IT function is the percentage of jobs they have moved "nearshore" (to Krakow).

Not that I think this is the Krakow workers' fault, mind you; rather this (and the string of similar IT incidents recently at BA) seems to fit the pattern of upper management focusing on driving down costs to the exclusion of everything else.
If we ignore the form, I think the substance of his argument has some merit.

I would appreciate it if you would comment on that, instead.

Indeed, if women were systematically underpaid despite equivalent performance, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't be hired by the boatload. This might be explained by (1) a lack of women relative to men in the developer workforce and (2) a systematic bias in competence.

It's not prima facie absurd to think that affirmative action efforts have perverse effects, namely that they push the actual selection based on competence to a later stage of the employment pipeline.

I understand this isn't a conclusive argument, but it does have some merit, and I'm worried by the fact that just bringing it up has one labeled a misogynist. That's not the way forward.

Public in the sense of non proprietary, in this case most likely universities.

A few weeks ago, running the subway in a major North American city, I kept admiring how people were polite and waited for other people to leave the trains before entering, how many times I saw someone give up their seats for the elderly (not that they really needed, there were a lot of empty seats elsewhere). That got me thinking if those same people would be as polite if they were in the same train but with 20x more people around. I think extreme situations are a great equalizer in crowded situations and it's my feeling they would behave the same: not wait for anyone, not give up seats, etc.

My point is, what works for Norway (population: 5.2m, prison population: 3874 or 0.0745% [0]) is never going to work for Brazil (population: 207m, prison population: 659020 or 0.31% [1]).

I like the idea of these idyllic prisons but inmates that will fit those are the exception here. Nevertheless, the system should offer them and help good inmates to be removed from the terrible traditional prisons so they don't become worse. It's often said that prisons are like college for criminals.

I don't know if this system could handle things like this: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2017/01/60-killed-beheaded-gri...

In summary, I love the idea but let's not pretend that by just having those prisons that things will change drastically. It's a complex situation and there are problems everywhere (bad laws, slow courts, poverty, etc).

There might be something on that. I found The Catcher in the Rye enjoyable and fun to read when I was at high school. However, I really disliked whenever people said that the character was supposed to talk for me or that I was supposed to identify with him. I was not like that at all, most my schoolmates were not like that at all. Non of them actually, we were selective school. He would not get in. Only minority of kids is like him and I considered the implication unfair.

It was well written story of someone who is not like me at all that gave me a bit of inside into his head. That was cool. Essays and teachers and what not assuming or framing it as a book that is supposed to talk for me were not cool.
I don't think 1) is entirely true. The fact that they're pushing the S over the 3 like this would suggest that they wouldn't sell out their full production capacity naturally. Of course, it's far easier to put up a couple of web pages than to redesign the car, and they have a long way to go before they have to think about such radical changes.

> Of course, the big if there is: Can you reach the critical mass of drivers without the project exhausting itself.

If that were the case, we wouldn't find ourselves in the current quagmire that we're in. Linux kernel already had a huge number of devices supporting it.

The truth is, there is nothing stopping device vendors from releasing a device driver for a specific version, maintaining it for an year or two and then abandoning it. The better approach would be to figure out a stable interface layer for kernel drivers so that you can simply plug and play the vendor supplied device driver.

Honestly, I don't get all the complaining from harassment.

We live in a digital age where we can control a large amount of our information stream. If we don't like something, we just turn off the stream. It's like left-wing advocates and Fox. They don't like it, so they don't watch it.

If you don't like what people are posting on some service, remove the service, inform people you know that you don't care about what's posted.

Go on living, stop being a hyper-sensitive prick about people saying mean things. They're going to say them whether or not it's on Yik-Yak, 4chan, or Facebook.

But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm missing something. Let me know. I love being wrong, it lets me learn new things.
I feel like screensavers and music visualizers are similar art forms, and both flourished for only a short period of time.

I guess music visualization still has a niche industry in live performance or creating video entertainment. But screensavers...
I'm an alumni of Usenet and IRC from back in the early-90's. I can assure you that there's always been (and probably always will be) demand for anonymous forums, into which trolls can project sexual frustration and feelings of powerlessness.

I was a bit too old to know about Yik Yak during its heyday, but I can only imagine the troll-appeal of anonymity PLUS being able to target local real-world individuals by name. Old school trolling was limited to targets who were non-local, and by and large anonymous themselves.

So I have no doubt about the market demand from trolls. I just don't understand why there was ever any demand from ANYONE ELSE. And I certainly don't see a path to monetization.

This is disconcerting to hear, and certainly not appropriate. It's not okay to talk about women in that way. As a student in uni, women do just as week and are given just as difficult material as men.

If Google released such wage data, they would have to pay people more, and that would cost a lot, and so collecting wage data is too expensive. Get it?
Yes, that point is true as well.

In general, most real world policies are far from the kind of efficiency frontier where trade-offs between growth and safety net have to be made. Eg the US could replace the subsidies for employer provided health care (with eg a budget neutral tax credit for everyone or more radically a budget neutral slim UB) and improve both efficiency and safety nets.

But, of course, policy is seldom driven by efficiency frontiers amongst its ostensible goals. Politics is harder and more complicated.

Though know I do wonder if a general programme to simplify taxes and close loopholes would have a better chance of passing step-by-step if every such bill came with a budget neutral per-head tax credit. The sound-bite "Senator Smith proposes to give YOU an extra $100 a year by closing obscure loophole exploited by a few corporations!" would certainly do well with the general public?
I agree a 100% that more must be done for gender equality and that gathering more data to understand wage gap mechanism is needed.

That being said, and considering that a part of my job is to help gather data from 50+ différents sources with diferent data models, I can agree with google on one point.
Gathering data from one point going forward is easy, gathering historical data from a system not designed with logging in mind is a huge pain.

As is usually forbidden in most democracy to issue a law with retroactive effects, it's maybe not a good thing to expect that retroactive dataset should be mandatory. That more of a work for historians and social-science researchers.
