This is sad because Sprig had just won me back.

There were the dark days of Sprig where, with limited options, it was mostly $13+ airplane food (pre fees, tax, tip etc.) - they literally hired a guy who led mass food production for airlines, and another bigwig from the cafeteria industry - and at that point I and others I know mercilessly bashed Sprig, and they deserved it.

Then one day I checked on them and they had greatly expanded their menu, brought in great partners like Dosa, Blue Bottle, Stumptown, and I then became a regular user (why not have Chicken Tikka Masala from Dosa, a kale-Avocado salad, and New Orleans style iced coffee brought to my door while I work). Still pricey but it's actually worth it now.

I get that their "dark days" were tied to financial desperation, but IMO from the view on the ground it did irreparable damage to their company once it got out they brought in airline and cafeteria people, and still had the audacity to charge a crap ton for it. Funnily I didn't even know they brought in airline people until I had a small, $14 crappy barbecue sandwich that I swore I had on an airplane once and lo and behold after a second of Googling it all made sense. This could all make for an interesting case study on critical strategy mistakes and failed brand management.
Materials for Future Electronics- what's dominating research
And I thought I have it bad. A large part of the issue with bikes interacting with cars has less to do with infrastructure and more to do with culture. You should shoot for driving culture that forces drivers to be more respectful and responsible. It sounds like I wouldn't want to bike in Israel by what it sounds like.
Not if you put it that way. Apple can simply make new AI features exclusive to newer phones with updated versions of the chips. If they open the chip up to developers, this effect can spill out to the app store. That would then provide the impetus to push consumers to upgrade.
This is true for a subset of desktop/laptop/server hardware, but is nowhere near correct for other Linux devices like smartphones, routers, or SBCs.

And for the most part the mature Linux Desktop/Server ecosystem isnt full of reversed engineered drivers, its full of open source drivers contributed by manufacturers. My Linux Laptop works well without binary drivers (a firmware blob or two excepted) because Intel spends the time and money to employ people to write drivers for their GPUs, WiFi, etc.
"Separate but equal" never ends up equal. Separate infrastructure due to funding constraints will inevitably be limited, and will limit access to streets/places/routes and most likely will be at the expense of cyclists. This is my experience in my city.
Not stupid, and they most likely have immunity, if they are officially a part of the delegation.
Almost like, yeah.

Much like white-collar crimes are punished way lighter in comparision with same-scale crimes of other sorts, even in the law itself.
Google's been working on distributed training as well.
It doesn't seem to require that.

>As was the case nearly 20 years ago, webpages that use the bad filename in, for example, an image source will provoke the bug and make the machine stop responding. Depending on what the machine is doing concurrently, it will sometimes blue screen. Either way, you're going to need to reboot it to recover. Some browsers will block attempts to access these local resources, but Internet Explorer, for example, will merrily try to access the bad file.

The footage is really well edited to highlight what's going on. I wonder if it's actually multiple footage augmented together or just single footage. At least it feels as so.

This entire discussion about Turing completeness is completely irrelevant. The problem that's relevant to software verification isn't the halting problem in its original formulation, but a simple corollary of it, often called "bounded halting" (which serves as the core of the time hierarchy theorem, possibly the most important theorem in computer science), which states that you cannot know whether a program halts within n steps in under n steps. The implication is that there can exist no general algorithm for checking a universal property (e.g. the program never crashes on any input) that is more efficient than running the program on every possible input until termination.

But bounded halting holds not only for Turing complete languages, but for total languages, too (using the same proof). In fact, it holds even for finite state machines (with a different proof). This is why even the verification of finite state machines is generally infeasible (or very expensive under restricted conditions) both in theory and in practice.
I'm pleasantly surprised that people 1. care about this corner of computer history, and 2. have so much knowledge. I know there's a lot less to look through, but things like having found a message on the disk for the released version of PC DOS, even though it apparently was just un-scrubbed data outside the filesystem, seems crazy. I suppose the closed nature of the releases has been offset by the relatively open platform and the fact that they've had decades to dig through it.
A failed concept (though in that specific case it might be on point)
Didn't the 68020 add even more addressing modes, plus scaling? Comparing the 68000 to the 386 doesn't seem too fair.
Agreed. Easily ⅔ of the time I land on answers.microsoft.com, the MSFT response marked as answer is "run sfc /scannow" or "Try a clean boot".
I found the reading and especially watching experience to be sub par on the iphone. No way to pause/rewind the clips, no complete videos to review, just carefully prepared "analysis" for digestion in a certain way.
Not much point until they require chips for credit card charges.

It's less safe for bicyclists to stop because they have to dismount and remount. But even less safe than that is the inconsistency. If the law was that bikes had to slow down within e.g. 50 feet of an intersection to ~8 mph, and then had the right of way like a pedestrian in a cross walk, that would be followed much more consistenty than stop signs applying to bikes.

Some municipalities let bicylists treat stop signs as yield signs, and that's also safer because it's more consistently followed.
Hi everyone, I am the creator of Ledger. We are part of YC Startup School - Founder Track.

I built Ledger because I wanted an easy way to track and split all of my shared expenses with friends.

A lot of my spending is shared between one or more people, and I hate the awkwardness around splitting a bill or asking for repayment. Other times, I know that there will be many shared expenses and I just wanted a quick way to track the expenses over time and settle up at the end or when the difference is owed is meaningful.

With Ledger, you create a shared "Ledger" between you and your friends, each person can contribute expenses to the Ledger and we automatically calculate the difference owed. Ledger is designed to be super light weight allowing you to quickly track and split an expense so you can get back to what you were doing. We automatically pull in your transactions from your credit card and bank accounts, so you never miss an expense and never have to type in a transaction manually. Lastly, if you have close friends that you see frequently, you can just have a running Ledger between each other, use it as a quick way to determine whose getting this round of drinks or paying for dinner, you may never have to actually settle up.

Would love for you to play with the app and please reach out with any feedback!

"... but what about when your ISP literally edits your web traffic, inserting more ads, and possibly breaking webpages."

It is possible the ISP not only injects ads but injects unique identifiers that the user never sees. These could be used to track the user across different devices and networks. This possibilty was suggested a few years ago by a well-known cryptographer in a presentation titled "How to manipulate standards".
"But perhaps the most disturbing part of the bill is the new restrictions it puts on suing police officers for constitutional violations."

Um, what? Please tell me WP isn't saying laws to punish people who kill or assault police officers is disturbing. I really didn't find anything in the article disturbing up to that point.
I'm totally impressed. The folks who generated this content should very much be given more assignments of the like. It's very much going to set a gold standard with future video highlights, especially in this age of video camera ubiquity with cell phones, surveillance, badge cams, dash cams, etc.
If it's a team effort, then why are you judging the developer candidate based on what other members of the team did or did not do well (acquire customers and make money)? It makes no sense to judge a developer based on criteria he's not directly responsible for.
It occurs to me that I'd like to see some reportage on which parts of the TOS cover these evergreen frustrations. Is it the "share your information with third parties" clause? Is it "to improve Google services?" Something else? Surely every element of surprise can be responded to with "Oh, well you gave them that permission in Section F, subsection 3(n)."
I can help clvx.easy-rsa, clvx.openvpn ansible role in galaxy.. there's a bug starting the service due to systemd, but it works if it's started manually. I'm working on it though.
I've come to think that school as we know it is largely daycare for younger students, and preparation for making people good at doing whatever they are told no matter what. We condition students not to be creative or innovative, but to obey the boss. I think the reason it stays like this is because the powers that be want a predictable, easy to control workforce.

I've come to belief

School, as we have it is so stupid. It's a massive waste of time and a huge amount of unnecessary work. And it's so dumb that they make it so that most people will not be able to get an A. (I got As but it shouldn't be about that)

When I was in 4th grade I homeschooled. I worked for a couple hours a day, then goofed off. It was the best. I also completed 2 years worth of math.

Now that I am in the work force, life is about 5x easier. Seriously coding is way easier than constantly trying to cram my head full of information every day. It's just too much information we throw at kids.

I was lucky because I'm good at school so they said I was an "A" student. But other people who happened to be artistic, athletic, or just plain had a great gift with people were told they were subpar students, or even Failures. That's just not right and it bad for kids.

And then you have the whole social issue. A lot of the social problems kids have with bullying, I think, is because kids don't have anything to really do that produces value. So they get bored and pick in each other
I live just off a road that has long been popular with cyclists. I used to bike on it myself. But the towns it connects have grown a lot in the past 10 years and the car traffic on it has grown as well. Last year a woman on a bike was killed on the road. I don't bike on it myself any more. It just isn't safe.

It would be a lot safer with bike lanes, and safer still if there was separate pavement for bikes.
"Finely crushed gravel" is not for a road bike.
Right. It's like putting a band-aid on cancer. Or perhaps tearing off the band-aid.
My Apple Watch battery drains in hours when I forget to place it in Airplane mode when I am at a convention. Soooo many Bluetooth devices in one place makes it very unhappy.

Ahh, this is a shame, but not surprising. Sprigs competitors have all fallen as well (Bento, Spoonrocket) for the same reasons.

I think there is a business that can be made with this model, as restaurant delivery does work, and the margins are improved nicely if you have roving delivery units with all the required deliverables (since you cut out half of the round-trip delivery time).

There was a pizza company (I've been unable to quickly google which one) that learned they could take a good deal more orders by sending out drivers with extra unordered pepperoni pizzas. When an order came in for a pepperoni pizza, they'd just relay it to a driver already on a delivery and have them make an extra stop. 2x deliveries for maybe 1.1x delivery distance.

Sprig, Bento, Spoonrocket, Presto Pizza, and all these other startups were trying to capture this market, but the problem is that demand is not consistent and slight mistakes in supply are onerously expensive. Too much food, and you've got spoilage; too little and you've lost a customer because of your 'Sold Out' message.

Additionally, the question of quality and variety is a difficult one to tackle. The pizza place that found success only had to carry pepperoni or cheese pizzas; Spoonrocket failed because it cheapened its product to try to increase the margin wiggle-room and lost customers; Bento failed because it couldn't offer much intraday variety.

Sprig was at least hopeful, in my eyes -- they managed to keep their meals at a higher standard than Spoonrocket. I was fine paying extra for it (although I admit that is subjective). The achilles heel is that if you want startup growth, then managing to keep your supply within the margins of profitability is a very difficult task. The only solutions are to grow a lot slower (and learn your demand) or to double-down DEEP on your datascience team and hope they can divine a line of best fit.

Unfortunately, that latter would likely need to be a Psychohistorian and those won't be around for another 10k years.
I respect what Simonyi did for the industry back in the day, but Intentional Software is just useless vaporware (or
-at best- weird academic research without practical applications).
As a Microsoft shareholder, I'm disappointed they're paying money for it (probably only to get Simonyi back, though his technical expertise is totally outdated and his management skills are questionable).
You should definitely have a look at Mozilla's DeepSpeach https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/blob/master/README.md
For Blue Apron, you cook + assemble the meals yourself which does not sound too different, but could be a huge advantage for cost (and quality standpoint vs you expect it prepared well and warm).
The systematic benefits in US society are dispersed from the top down, and its sacrifices emerge from the bottom up.
It would require react-native because then phones that are not running gnu/linux can also use those react-native apps. So, if you build an app with react-native, then it runs on Postmarket OS and the commercial phone OSes. Perhaps I'm missing the reason why another tool is just as cross-platform?

EDIT: Looks like there are plenty of options for cross-platform mobile UI libraries including QT and Kirigami. Like others have said, why use React then.

Why? What is the benefit to Google?

It's a statement of fact. I suspect you wouldn't have made your comment if he had written 'some guy cut me off'.
In my experience while I worked there (on Visual Studio and Chakra) it felt like all the major bad decisions were being made at the upper-levels of management - things like the original Windows 8 sandboxed XAML "Apps", the Surface RT, killing VB6 without giving users a clear exit strategy, the decision not to market Zune internationally, making Windows XP look like a toddler's Fischer-Price toy, or the Terri Schiavo-like treatment of Windows Phone - but conversely it's also where good decisions come from (Bash on Windows, Docker support, SQL Server for Linux).

Contrary to your point: none of the shareholders had any input on those decisions above (except possibly getting rid of Ballmer post-Nokia...). It's just management playing dice with ideas seemingly without much critical thinking - or at least transparency as to why they decided to press-ahead with a controversial decision.
Now consider how bad it had to get before the Church Committee was convened.
The article says the opposite, claiming that it dooms cyclists to second hand status.
Sorry to hear this.

First, a side thought that's probably not the case. Has all your information about this come through L? I've known cases where the "victim" was the one doing actually doing the abuse, and roping lots of people in against the real victim with stories that were not true. Just something to always look out for.

With that out of the way... Even if you had proof, would your friend actually do something with it? I've met people who have been so victimized that they will not do anything in their own defense, even when the proof they needs is already on file in court documents and a three sentence letter to the court would be all it would take.

I'd really recommend reading the late Peter Hintjens book, free PDF here: https://www.gitbook.com/download/pdf/book/hintjens/psychopat...
Reasons (my personal opinion): in combined route you

1) have a higher probability to get into accident with a motor vehicle,

2) must inhale the air polluted by traffic.
I thought I was rock stable after lots of testing in one case, memtest, prime95, 'stability test' even thrashed the floppy drive. Later i wrote a java applet that hit the cpu cores in both regular and random millisecond patterns - it crashed the machine in seconds. Multicore load effects are something else to look out for then - take a few steps back from the edge and it all matters much less. Its worth it for a solid machine.
> It used to be that education was something people did for themselves.

It is easy to identify exceptions (replication crisis, intrusion of managerial activities), but this motivation also applies at the higher levels - ie phd candidature and above. The goal is self-directed research within a chosen field to produce new knowledge.
Except around highways where bikes have to make ridiculous detours and the car on-ramps are relatively straight.

Near Zaandam there are a couple of really nice examples of this, bike detours easily 1 km for what would have been 200 m at best without the detour. (Onramp of A8, both sides).
Unfortunately seemed like there were hints of this eventual demise when Gagan was interviewed by Jason Calacanis: http://thisweekinstartups.com/gagan-biyani-sprig/.

YC-backed SpoonRocket had just announced their shutdown, and Gagan was put on the defensive. Touting unit economics, an optimized menu, and food delivery innovation, the reality was, as others have mentioned, the company was a glorified restaurant with delivery. Ultimately I do think these companies made an impact but may have been a few years to early (pre self-driving). High-quality, healthy, on demand food is an inevitability but the labor costs are still prohibitive. I'm genuinely excited for the day I can get a delivered grilled, free-range chicken breast and seasonal veggies for $6!
If I'm reading things rightly, it's about $700/year for gigabit. [1] I'm paying something like the same for Sonic's ADSL, so it's a no-brainer for me.

> Why is "phone interface" buried down at the end of the page under "future goals"?

Well, right now there is no phone interface available yet, and that is why it is a future goal (which does not necessarily mean, that it is in distant future).

> I mean, if a project wanted to put a "10 year life-cycle" on an IoT blender by porting Gnu/Linux to it, you'd think the first order of business would be writing a Gnu/Linux program to, you know, blend things. Getting 10+ years of running performant Weston demos would be a very distant 2nd to that.

I'm not selling you a blender here. I wanted to create a solid base to run GNU/Linux natively on smartphones, and now there is this pmbootstrap component, which works quite well and seems worthy of a release. This enables other people to jump in and contribute, if they want to, and accelerate development even more, because multiple persons can work in parallel on the project.

This is much more important to me, than silently working a few months or however long it would take me in my free time to package Plasma Mobile and make a release after that, just to hear that another crucial component is missing from the OS.
Hmm, this says 13.0? Maybe they mean CM 13:

Little known fact about AVX: every time you use an AVX instruction Intel processors reduce the core frequency by a few percents for about a millisecond to avoid overheating (I guess because they need to turn on an otherwise unused functional unit).

As a result, if you sprinkle some AVX instructions in your code but not enough to cause a significant efficiency win you might actually end up reducing your capacity (and affecting latency).

Hmm, wasn't the 386 addressing modes pretty much orthogonal? (At least, compared to what 8086 and 80286 had.)
That'd be nice. I bought a MOTO X last year, don't do much on it besides using the camera and FB (hence my choosing a lower end model) and I can't use it for more than a couple of minutes without hiccups and app restarts.
My takeaway from reading into these things was that at certain temperature breakpoints, lifetime decreases a LOT, way too much to want to get close to that.

So I tried to find the rough limits and wrote down idle/load temperatures for various combinations of settings/frequencies, and then picked my "sweet spot" at which temperatures started to increase a lot more per little increased performance. Granted, I did get a good case and CPU cooler, which I clean religiously, and of course there's always luck involved, but divided by the 8 years it's running this current computer is the cheapest I ever had, apart from having to replace the PSU because that was the one bit I paid less attention to, even the hard drives are still spinning, it's freaky. So the next one will have an even better case and cooling and then not get overclocked much or at all, either, that's for sure.
