But it is an attack on the open web, Google is now sealing off the 'user leak' holes like Facebook did to keep people within their ecosystem. That's all well and good for Google, but we all rely on a relatively neutral search engine and we've relied on Google not to come back down the abstraction levels and into the application space. From a business point of view the game has changed and Google need to be treated as hostile even if they don't know it yet

If speed is the answer, then sure offer AMP, but also offer a lightning bolt next to pages that load within 'x' milliseconds. Reward speed regardless of implementation

It's only going to get worse with voice interfaces, see what Echo now does (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXEu8RcneZQ).

A vibrant ecosystem is key to competition, it's not in our long term interests to let the web consolidate into an oligarchy
The original comment referred to price gouging due to lack of competition. VC money might subsidize the rides (or more likely find ongoing development?), but Uber and Lyft are bound to be cheaper than taxis for as long as they can remain less entangled with governments (less artificial price inflation).
Another problem with large Java DI framesorks is that they obscure (with xml and weird conventions) a fundamentally simple operation. They also often resort to state-changing property-setters versus pure constructor args.

Dependency injection - is just making all the dependencies of a class/function explicit on construction, with a secondary affect that an implied ordering is needed to creating complicated nested objects.

Avoiding hidden state-channels (globals) that can't be easily modified is valuable for being able decipher/reason about behavior, and for mocking test instances.

Sorry, I'm expressing my opinion, which is a summation of being a lifelong apple user. Only recently, around the loss of steve timeframe wise, have things gotten bothersome.

I can thoroughly recommend Elements of Statistical Learning.

It won't teach you much about theoretical statistics, or even things like experiment design, but you will learn a LOT about regression, classification and model fitting which is what everyone seems to want to be able to do these days.
Its hard to even consider taking a taxi at this point. I was in Chicago last weekend and considered taking a taxi from the airport into the city. Taxi wanted ~$60 and Uber wanted ~$25. The same thing happened in SF a few months back. The driver wanted $90 to goto Palo Alto and I took an Uber pool for $23.

Granted I don't believe for a second that's the actual rate and I'm confident the driver was trying to take advantage of me. But with ride sharing I don't need to haggle over price and I know the algorithms are ripping me off less than the taxi driver.
An executive picked by sortition is indeed risky. A legislature or jury filled by sortition is workable, though, because of regression to the mean.
To be fair I more meant a giant tree of state where each module is responsible for managing the state for other modules it communicates with (for example a module will take it's bag of state for most every method; in an object oriented language - a luxury I don't often have - this bag of state is called an object (and methods that don't take it would be called static methods)). Not a flat state object (obviously terrible).

I would suggest giving it another go. There are few authors who have given this issue as much thought as Bostrom, and if the conclusions he draws are false at the very least that opens up the door for further conversation about the subject.
It's actually a pretty nice value add - you don't have to pay transaction fees, nor wait for confirmations. Of course, this assumes the implementation is competent, which seems to be under question in this case.
May i suggest maintaining a repo on github with such material? Would be easier to keep up and might bring in some contributions
I'm curious, why this approach instead of something like DOSBOX?
This is why you have the backups stored under a different account than the primaries and you make sure that nobody has access to both accounts.

Unless you have exceptionally good controls it's very hard to be sure there is not an SSH key sitting on some machine that would allow access and possible nefarious activity by a dishonest ex-administrator
There is no excuse for it, no matter what the company did this affects the customers of the company just as hard as it affects the company. Likely some of those will go out of business, people will lose their jobs, go bankrupt.

Internet users to double to 829M by 2021 in India: Report
I didn't provide enough context.

There's nothing wrong with using UUID's, but I would avoid them for clustered indexes. And I would say typically you wouldn't care about whether or not UUID's were sequential unless you WERE putting them into a clustered index.

I'm sure there are use cases where you would worry about the sequential nature for reasons not related to clustered indexes, but in general what I said is true.
The object-oriented world has been moving towards more immutable and mostly-immutable classes. This is sometimes awkward with large classes, so people use the builder pattern to get around it. (It's a case of languages having not caught up with practices.)
> Why risk any chance of organic interest by poisoning the well like that?

You're proclaiming guilt as a matter-of-fact without any actual proof of it. You set up your own opinion and then matched a conclusion of fraud to it, seemingly without a second thought.

If I were to apply your framing approach to your own post, it comes across as though you're trying to talk down the article and injure their reputation by implying they're doing something wrong while possessing nothing more than an opinion. That's a leap too far, throwing around such accusations without solidly supporting them is inappropriate.
It was, I meant I went looking for it in the article and didn't see it :)
Not sure it is fair to say "Google just released Lullaby" in the submission title:

1. The README.md file indicates "Disclaimer: This is not an official Google product."

2. This site's guidelines prohibit editorializing of titles.

A more appropriate title would perhaps just be "Lullaby: C++ libraries to help teams develop VR and AR experiences." This uses only the text on the actual linked page.

There are many repositories under the "google" organization on GitHub. A great number of them are not "Google products" but just projects that Google employees work on.
> If Chicago cares about the cabbies, individual owners should be paid dollar for dollar the value of those medallions, even if no one else will buy them in the future.

These kinds of markets have some interesting dynamics - carbon credits have similar issues. Basically, the government can set the initial price (because they artificially create the entire supply) but then the market takes over. It's very difficult for the government to set the initial price correctly (i.e., close to the eventual market price)

I seriously doubt that there's an easy mechanism for cabbies to get the city to pay the pre-uber market price for their medallions. They would probably have to sue, claiming that the medallion gave them a guaranteed monopoly that the government failed to uphold. That will turn on exactly what rights the medallion is supposed to entail.
Well whoever set that up knows the whole password right?
>keep him in court until he was broke

How many times do we have to hear these kinds of stories of abuse, or patent trolls, or of other unfairness and injustice in the legal system before anything is done about it?

I mean the legal system produces some incredible injustices currently: If we get more stories such as billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein raping underage girls and getting a house-arrest with week nights spent sleeping in a special cell, what does that imply for the rest of us?

The 99% of us are burdened with this BS while the 1% take advantage of it.
Basically, this is SaltStack's salt-ssh re-implemented using bash instead of python... That too is just YML + Templates + Bash + SSH, with the exception that you can use Python too and the templates are JINJA.

Chicago taxis are some of the worst. God I hated them. I wonder why they're not doing well?!
Most people don't seem to know this but WinRT/UWP XAML was actually a fork (not a rewrite) of Silverlight. Silverlight had a C++ core layer and a C# API layer, WinRT XAML kept the core and replaced the C# API layer with a new WinRT API layer.

Not if you're a compassionate person. If not, some bitterness may apply, but its only going to eat you.
not a ton of medallian owner/taxi operators. IIRC most are owned by banks, PE firms, etc. They're definitely more of a leveraged financial product than a certificate that allows someone to operate a small business.
100 years ago, yesterday, was the worst hard rock mining disaster in the US, in Butte, Montana. They didn't have this way of warning the miners back then and 168 miners died due to a fire in one of the shafts. Most died from asphyxia.

Michael Punke, the author of the Revenant, wrote an excellent non-fiction book about it called "Fire and Brimstone: The North Butte Mining Disaster of 1917".

As usual people ask for more regulations, but when you do regulations corporations always find a way around and become stronger. They become stronger because the small guy doesn't have the money, the energy and the lawyers to abide to every stupid regulation thrown at him.

It surprises me that it's the founder of tpb to call for more regulations, since he made a website that survived this long thanks to a lack of regulations.

Also it's false that today there is nothing outside of fb, google, etc
There are a lot of websites and services one can use and support so that they can improve. There are a lot of cool communities outside those blessed by big corps.
But I can see how the billions of internet noobs that do stupid stuff on fb or google get a lot of attentions. But they truly are noobs.

The only problem with fb, google, etc is that, as all corporations do, they will eventually lobby the government to pass regulations so that they can have an easier life against competition, and they are smart enough to do it so that you can't see it coming. They won't say "google must rule", no, they will push for ten new law every day, until there are thousands of laws and only well-payed lawyer can abide them. This is how it's always worked in all industries, in all countries. It's like a circle of economic self-destruction.

The only rule that the internet need is a rule to define what the internet is, and that rule is embedded in the concept of Net Neutrality. Because of course if I buy "the internet" I want the damn internet, not cable tv 2.0.
And all the extra rules, those about freedom of speech, etc should be about how there shall be a lack of rules, not more rules.

If you ask for more rules you first get stupid stuff like the EU cookie law, and then really bad stuff that makes life difficult for the little guy, but not the big guy.
When you ask for regulations from the government you pave the road for the CORPORATIONS because they have the lawyer, the money, the energy that the little guy does not have.

If you hate google and fb so much block them, for now it is possible to do it.
In almost all industries there are a lot of regulations. And most of this regulations are in the end against the little guy, and favor the big guy. Maybe one day there will be a lot of regulations for the internet, but none of them will help the freedom of normal people, but just make corporations stronger. And then you really won't be able to block fb, google, youtube, etc
The first one is true, the second is total speculation.
Oh, yup.
I don't think you understand, my inbox is almost always at zero :)

This folders and rules was my strategy for balancing the need to be hyper-informed, well-organized, and not-overwhelmed... only uncategorized content shows up in my inbox.

My "High Priority" folder has subfolders for friends, family, bills, and other things that have to be kept at 0. The "Low Low Priority" folder has folders for online store emails that useful a couple times a year for discounts when I need a new shirt or something, auto-deleted after 14 days. In between is everything, nicely triaged and categorized.

It's really more of a personalized private ad/tracker-free mobile and cli-compatible individual media aggregation service - perfectly managing the flow of the internet into my brain :)
2ME is the "gas leak" additive that gets put into gasoline.

It smells like sulfur + burnt rice crackers to me... It's actually not that dangerous of a compound - I've spilled it on myself gloveless and it's not a big deal.

Also a bit of a possibly overpedantic note - you can run gels without reducing the disulfide bonds, but typically those proteins will run through the gel faster, not slower because of a more compact form. Because not all proteins have disulfides, if you reduce them first, it creates a predictable relationship between the protein size and the migration velocity, which is the desirable property, not speed.
R&D Engineer working in composites (armor). Don't have any programming experience outside of a few college classes but found HN to be a great resource for discovering interesting websites, reads, and discussions. It's also usually quite a different perspective from non "tech" engineering colleagues I interact with.
I've always thought that a large percentage of OO design patterns originated from Java's strict OO trappings.

Since Java doesn't allow for first-class functions, it necessitated design patterns in spite of a more straight forward constructs in more imperative or function languages.

But this is likely just me and my biases. (Note: I don't hate Java, but it does feel constraining at times.)
That individually would never have made it to the front page.
I'd want hiring and compensation tied to behaving ethically, if I was on United's Board. I consider someone a better CEO if they don't become the subject of a federal corruption investigation and have to step down.

He also seems to have tanked customer satisfaction ratings. He was CEO of UAL from the beginning of the continental united merger in October 2010 to September 8, 2015. Here's a relevant article. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/15/business/despite-shake-up...

Just because more CEOs are psychopaths doesn't mean that psychopaths are better at doing the work of CEOs.

Frankly many CEOs seem to favor short term gains that benefit themselves and their stock option grants over improving quality and long term growth. I don't know that this guy is a psychopath, but I'm not interested in flying United if I can help it.

The 8 Great Murals of Des Moines
I've never met a group more willing to learn entirely new frameworks or dump their current way of building stuff at the drop of a hat. Js users are notorious at changing
How they do things.

They don't have a comfort zone as far as I can tell.
I think it's the unfocused thoughts on a range of different topics that's the problem.

I don't mind reading about non tech things. Rambling musings on the other hand don't really do it for me.
Cool! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not a programmer myself so might be fun to play with and learn from until he gets a bit older to try himself
They had good support. You can both have good support and run a scam. In fact it helps :)
Yes I too can contrive a thought experiment that combines a bunch of physical constants. It's hardly a construct. It's just a length. It might mean something. It might mean something when multiplied by pi or a tenth or whatever. It's the scale at which quantum gravity might maybe possibly could be important. Nothing more nothing less.
I agree, but that scenario rarely plays out. In reality, taxi medallions were leveraged financial products often owned by banks, hedge funds, PE firms etc. I do not feel sorry for the generally wealthy medallion investors, they made a bet and they lost.
Not exactly. They are willing to learn new frameworks only within the technology they know, namely JS.
It was a great article. On a side note, holy shit is it rare to even hear of other guys named Giovanni, much less as similar a last name (I'm Giovanni d'Amelio).
> air allows mines to use a very interesting way to communicate

This is a very important point to remember about subterranean tunnel systems. It is exactly what came to my mind when I watched the Boring Company video about a huge network of 3D tunnels.[1] The tech press, which had probably never even covered a construction project yet alone tunnels, was basically like "what about earthquakes"? But tunnel collapse is not the primary safety issue.

It's fires. Smoke and toxic gases from fires spread very quickly through tunnels.

I am a huge fan of the concept, by the way, but I want to emphasize that most fatalities from traffic tunnels have been from fires (apart from ordinary traffic accidents).[2][3][4][5] And Elon Musk has stated that what makes this vision feasible from a cost perspective is smaller tunnel diameters. Which makes air "communication" all the more accelerated and safety critical. Thus any vision of tunneling without detailing fire safety, evacuation systems and firefighter access is significantly incomplete, as these can add significant cost and fundamentally constrain designs.

What illness is Big Data causing us?
The world of JS / web "development". They are just now discovering that type system and compilers have advantages!
I've looked pretty closely at Lullaby in my work at Google* on VR. Initially, I was pretty skeptical of the Entity-Component-System architecture, but once I "got" it, the architecture actually became pretty appealing. I like the idea of treating the entire "universe" of an application relationally, with attributes orthogonally stapled to each object in a decentralized way.

* Note: I am speaking only for myself.
From what I can tell, what's new and correctly reported in the article is that Microsoft have now found active malware exploiting these OOB channels.

It's true, the more I do in R, the more I wish that it had remained scheme compatible (originally, R was built on a scheme if I remember correctly).

My someday project is `#lang arcket` for Racket, which would allow people to use existing R code, and mix with Racket, with appropriate data.frame data structures and whatnot.
EDIT: I got downvoted but this is just not a threat. If someone "reminds protestors to demonstrate lawfully", then are they "threatening to call the cops and try to put them in jail"? Of course not. Not what the word threat means. Words have meanings and this one isn't this.
Same story. I use data.table and ggplot2, with a couple of dplyr functions, for pretty much all of my plotting and analysis now.
Logging can be different, and that's okay.

It is non-interactive side-effect and irrelevant to the function of your code. It's just for diagnostics, like a debugger.

If that is not true, I wouldn't call it "logging" for the proposes here.

You could inject a logger, but I don't see a reason to.
