Except that, as what happened in Nashville showed, the incumbents will take up all the available space on those poles, requiring any newcomers to wait for them to move their wires up or down a bit in order to make them ready for the newcomers to hang their wires. When these moves happen is apparently left entirely up to the incumbents discretion, as 18 months into Google Fiber attempting to deploy here about 33 poles had been touched. That's a brisk pace of two each month. So, with AT&T and Comcast left to themselves, some of Nashville will actually be ready for a new player at about the same time as we're ready to formally declare 32-bit time() functions unsafe to use.
In most areas of the US, no. There is a resurgence of shotgun sports (sporting clays, trap, etc.) as school sports in rural areas, but not really anything specific to safety.
Still relevant since Tesla claims the Model X is the safest car after the Model S, but other crash test show that the Model S also has its flaws.
A CEO's compensation is used to retain and motivate that talent to create value for the company.

How is this different than that of any other employee?
Sometimes I wish I had the energy to follow through all the way to the end of a process even when I know I'm not interested in working somewhere.

Waiting till they give you an offer and turning them down is probably the only way to get companies with terrible interview processes to treat their own interview behavior as signal.
> Is this because she's from Google? Because she's a former engineer? Because she's a female CEO?

I'd say all of those contributed to a lot of expectations, which she didn't really live up to in the view of many people.
you're not blind, i was expecting some code samples to make this clear. I assume its actually synthesizing a specific design because otherwise it isn't really noteworthy, but its not clear.
Tesla optimizes for NHTSA testing, which doesn't test a lot of very high end vehicles.

Tesla fares more poorly in the more difficult IIHS and EuroCAP tests, which actually test high end vehicles frequently.

But nothing stops Elon from bragging about how this makes the Model X the safest car blah blah.
Interesting! I've read The Goal before and found it fascinating, but difficult to tie some of the prescriptions to our roles, in particular. It encouraged me to view more of, well, the goal of the company and how we're a machine that processes raw materials (sales leads) and turns it into profit, as well as the different drop offs in the funnel (conversion rate, failure to collect, etc.)

I'll definitely read The Phoenix Project and see if it can better connect the dots for me, thank you.
You don't see how a multinational corporation running roughshod over a democratically elected government is a bad thing?
Isn't the problem more about how the company handled the complaints? Your record on shutting that stuff down once it's reported should be flawless - Uber's isn't.
But this is exactly how you're supposed to run a massively successful startup in its first decade. This is exactly how FB started out. And this follows every rule in the startup book to a tee.

None of these things are even remotely true. Uber is treated the way it is because the Uber culture and ethos have been uniquely shitty among startup unicorns/tech giants. At this point, I grant you that it's become an overblown witch hunt, but this developed over the course of years. Travis had every opportunity to see the reputation they were building, and he didn't give a shit, so now this is what happens.
Why do you talk about "females?" The word you are looking for is "women."

("Females" connotes reproductive capacity [1], which is seldom relevant, and is also applied to animals. "Women" are human beings.)

If you seek a heuristic way to prevent ransomware on Mac, RansomWhere[1] by Objective-See is awesome and free of charge. It constantly monitors the file system, and if it sees a sudden burst of encryption, will freeze the concerning process. Yes, you'll 'lose' at least a few files, but major loss is prevented. Obviously, you'll need to turn it temporarily off if you want to do any legit encryption.

Thanks dang! I was super excited when you guys first announced favorites - there's so much cool stuff on HN that disappears after a day or two. Filtering the "Ask/Show/Tell HN" posts onto a new page is definitely a next step - as well as adding a favorite comments page.

Could you guys add favorites to the API? Scraping is pretty rough - Cloudflare doesn't seem to like me.
This eclipse will only be visible in totality within the US. Here's a broader-scale map:

I'm glad that you feel confident that no background checks, no vehicle inspection checks, no in-between-ride insurance, no transparency into surge pricing, no adherence to accessibility requirements, as well as getting grey-balled off the system (If Uber suspects you work for a municipal government or law enforcement) are run-arounds to spurious, burdensome, and unnecessary laws.

I mean, I have the unreasonable expectation that my taxi drivers aren't rapists, or haven't had recent DUIs, that their insurance will cover them while they are on the job, and that the ADA will come down like a metric tonne of bricks on them if they refuse to pick up disabled passengers... But perhaps that's too much to ask from a radical world-changing inspired baller.

(As with the rest of the transportation industry, the regulations require all those things have been written in blood.)
This is mostly a social problem, not technical. It's a shame, as MS Word has at best mediocre support for typesetting mathematics.
The liver storing ability to store glycogen is one of the reasons many fitness enthusiasts would avoid (or not) fructose.

From what I have heard fructose often gets broken down in the liver and thus often gets stored there (I'm probably missing a whole bunch here so assume I am wrong).

Because of this various athletes and bodybuilders would use fructose to either gain weight or rapidly fill carb stores but only would do so sparingly (ie during carb refilling during a ketogenic diet).
So is this the full report, or an abridged version for public consumption (as was indicated might be released a few days ago)?
Are you thinking Greenville? Columbia? Somewhere off I-95?
I'm not the one dismissing a blatant problem based on a tiny percentage value. We've seen in various accounts that many incidents were swept under the rug because the person was a supposed "high performer". Then there is the recent email issue. This suggests that the problem is top-down in the company. When the problem is top-down, surely you deserve such treatment?
> I'm interested that you don't see this as an issue mostly with police response time.

I think this marks some confusion over exactly what constitutes 'rural'. The UK certainly has rural settings in terms of town size, small access roads, culture, etc. But having spent time in both, the UK just doesn't have anything like the US in terms of distance.

Salmon, Idaho is several hours from... anything, really. You could go from Inverness to Glasgow in about the time it takes to get to an actual city. It's down in a canyon, so there's no FM radio, much less cell phone service. The police force is eight people, with a guarantee that at least one will be on duty 24 hours a day.

If that one officer gets a call about an issue, he might well have a 20 minute drive - speeding, on empty roads - to the farm where there's a problem. And Salmon is the county seat. There are much smaller towns and farm communities out there. This isn't a problem you can realistically solve with better policing or more money, because things legitimately are that far apart.

---

Someone in my extended family spends winters snowed in - some years there's simply no access in or out of a 'town of 50 people for ~4 months straight. He keeps a rifle handy to shoot coyotes that come for his livestock. Are we really going to go with "he should wait for a police response, or insurance compensation"?

A friend of mine, with an exceedingly liberal family, grew up with a high-powered rifle at home, the sort of thing people regularly try to ban. For fear that in his town of six people, there was no other way to deal with a bear or moose that got aggressive.

A friend of a friend is disabled and chronically unemployed in the rural midwest. Hunted meat makes up a nontrivial percentage of his diet, because ammo is cheaper than food. This being America, saying "take away his gun but give him lifelong welfare" isn't going to work, and he'd hate you for it anyway - he's proud that he feeds himself just fine.

I'm not trying to be snarky here. In very rural America, this is the situation for a lot of people. These are people who don't live near any gun crime, but own and use guns for everyday purposes. It has more in common with northern Canada than any place in England or western Europe.
> And if any CEO should be burned at a stake, shouldn't it be that guy that refused to sell Yahoo for 47 billion to Microsoft?

That was Jerry Yang, a co-founder of Yahoo. And yes, he was "burned at the stake". He was fired from the CEO job within months of tanking that deal.
Yes, Verizon is about to fire Yahoo 2100 employees.

It's difficult to say, but it's likely to be a factor that an official expressing a risk tolerance >0.00 would have a very short and unglamorous career ahead of him in the hostile climate surrounding anything nuclear, despite us casually accepting much, much higher risks in all sorts of areas.
Yes (so to speak), you can also do 'yes &' multiple times to create lots of background load (and then 'pkill yes' before anything melts...)
For ETH, that's not really true: you can use it to pay for computation on the Ethereum blockchain. The value you assign to that computation may not be very significant, but it's hard to justify the notion that it's zero.
NHTSA testing, unlike IIHS tests, doesn't test hitting a pedestrian as I understand. That should be part of the test.
The tech is still in its infancy. Most of the developers that have heard of Ethereum heard about it within the past couple months. Communities like r/ethdev are growing rapidly and the tools required to develop feature-rich dapps easily are still being fleshed out. It takes time to realize the potential and learn to develop for a new paradigm. Trustless smart contracts are an incredibly powerful concept and I don't expect them to go away.
Very interesting recommendations, but no mention of the CTO, Thuan, who was called out by Fowler herself in her blog post.
Skepticism in this realm is certainly warranted and undoubtedly healthy.

However, I think I should share this because the above two comments seem to have not caught wind of it. A number of enterprise-level organizations both within and without this org are working on projects and experiments both utilizing the public blockchain and private chains using the technology.

I think there is some validity to the project that is simply not yet mainstream yet.

[Yahoo Mail] became slow and clunky and inherited the worst parts of Gmail and none of the good parts.

Yahoo and LinkedIn are basically right next door to each other and employees from one routinely hop to the other, so it makes sense that they share production values.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Taking a Leave of Absence
I think this whole Uber situation is a good reminder to the valley that the "No Assholes" rule is still a good policy.
There are two principal factors at work here.

The first is the eccentricity of the lunar orbit - 0.0549 which means that depending on where in the lunar orbit the eclipse occurs, the moon is closer or further away meaning the apparent size ratio between the Sun and Moon varies. In fact - it's even possible to have an eclipse where the Sun's limb is visible around the edge of the Moon at totality - this is called an annular eclipse. [1]

The second factor is that the Moon is lumpy! The depressions caused by craters and valleys means that totality, as defined as when the Moon completely occults the Sun's disc, varies according to where in the path of totality you are. Parallax effects move the Sun with respect to the observed position of the Moon, so the Sun will peek through the valleys/craters earlier or later depending on your latitude. This lumpiness actually creates one of the most spectacular features of a total solar eclipse, the "diamond ring" effect - I had the rare privilege of seeing this in the 1999 eclipse that crossed south-west England and northern France - a mere teenager but the image is burned into my brain. [2]

Other minor factors come into play which add to why the shape of the polygon changes across the track - the Earth is a spheroid, not a flat plane so the ratio of Sun:Moon coverage varies along the track; also the Moon is still gently turning as it orbits in a manner called libration - while tidally locked to face the Earth, the Moon still rotates marginally faster or slower along its orbit. [3]

The effects of the compensation for totality variation are shown in the second half of the video past ~1:20.

This being the internet, let me preface this with this being honest questions, rather than attacks. I did try to read through the docs before asking but I don't see the answers directly.

Especially on the FPGA side, how does this interact with all the features of Go that seem ill-suited to an FPGA implementation? Can I write functions that generate and consume closures? Where is my garbage going on the FPGA side and how is it collected? Or is the FPGA code being written only in a subset of Go?

I understand the idea of wrapping the primitives offered by the FPGA hardware itself into channels, but I'm unclear on how one can sensibly implement a Go runtime on top of that in the FPGA without making it too difficult to understand the cost model of your Go code.
Bitcoin supposedly has a $45 billion market cap, and you can't liquidate 1% of that without crashing the price? If that's the case, the market cap is totally fake.

The ICO mania definitely contributes to this, but so does the worry about a Bitcoin split. I've read a lot about it and could not give you a coherent answer of what is likely to happen and what would be the impact if it does or does not happen. So people like me (probably in top 5% of knowledge among Bitcoin holders about the technical aspects) put holdings in other coins to wait and see.

The coins that stand to benefit most from this are the ones traded on GDAX -- Ether and Litecoin. And Ether has the most breathless hype going for it right now. And this is the same advice I give to the non-technical people in my life who've jumped in late and don't have a Poloniex or Bittrex account to trade other coins (sign up for GDAX, balance things with a wait-and-see attitude towards August 1st).

BTW - my 89 year old farmer grandpa who can't even get wired internet at his house now has a crypto portfolio, in case you're looking for bubble indicators. (And if you ask why my advice wasn't to avoid an investment you don't understand -- well, I am bullish on crypto long term and they really wanted to get in, and view it as a gamble, so . . .)
My original comment was to point out the cultural inappropriateness and onerousness of late stage capitalists' demands for emotional labor.

Your response was to suggest that it is actually my fault and that I am behaving inappropriately.

You see nothing insulting about that? You are the jerk here.
Not sure, but I appreciate your post. Yes, the current state of progressive left politics is driving me away from stances that I would like to hold. People like Jerry Coyne, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris talk sense and are somewhere on the left, but the chanting hordes of diversity-obsessed political correctness warriors are so, so depressing and so, so far from the grown-up, scientifically literate, rationalist, anti-religious, technological, humane, liberal movement that we need to counter the opposing forces of cynical conservatives, racists, gun- and bible-nuts etc
No, they just added the ability to auto-park unattended in a perpendicular spot. From launch, it was able to park itself without an occupant by driving straight into a spot head or tail first. With the driver still sitting in the car, it can parallel park as well as perpendicular park.
Those parking features work fine, but I am looking forward to the unattended perpendicular parking as it is the most common parking scenario.

So long Travis.
The diameter of the path of totality is only about 100 miles, because it's only the umbra of the shadow. This is 20x smaller than the moon diameter. But, a 1km moon bump is a 1km bump on the umbra as well, magnifying it's effect by the mentioned 20x and leading to a much different appearance.

Giant freelance marketplaces tend to be lightning rods for outrage largely because of their tendency to directly drive down wages. Search this site for any of the large developer marketplaces and you'll be hard pressed to find a kind word being said about them. This effect automatically creates a sizeable constituency hell bent on exposing your wrongs and it's downhill from there from a PR perspective.

>Uber has 12000 employees; 20 were reprimanded for sexual harassment. That's 0.001%

Well those are the ones that were actually fired.

http://business.financialpost.com/news/transportation/uber-h...

Seemingly:

215 issues investigated

100 dismissed

57 still under investigation

31 in counseling or training

7 reprimanded in writing

more than 20 fired

215/12000 is near to 2%, such a number of "cases", even if half of them are dismissed should trigger each and every possible alarm.
Honestly, I think this has more to do with Uber's inability to become profitable than genuine concern for these problems. People have know about these problems but ignored them for exactly the reasons you describe. I'd say the investigation is almost a pretext.
I'll RTFM later, but in the meantime : how to you compare to Chisel https://chisel.eecs.berkeley.edu ?

> Scientists hope that the new insights into liver development and performance will yield novel therapies for the more than 100 disorders that afflict the organ, many of which are on the rise worldwide, in concert with soaring rates of obesity and diabetes.

No need to wait, an excellent book explains how to easily clean your liver: http://www.ener-chi.com/books/the-amazing-liver-gallbladder-...

The thing is you can literally see all the things that have been jamming your liver for years, as they're being "washed" out when you go to the toiled - very impressive. Keep in mind that a liver that is jammed does not fully clean your blood. If your blood is not clean, it will eventually cause trouble all over your body.
While there are some concrete next steps in here (hire a COO, management training, HR training, the "Rooney Rule"), what is the goal and how do these steps connect to it? As far as the harassment stuff, I think the solution is clear: have a zero tolerance policy and enforce it. But it otherwise says the words "inclusion" and "diversity" a lot, but never really connects those words to achievable outcomes and seems superficial. Maybe the end result is to restore Uber's image - in which case doing those things makes sense - but without any goal posts or authority, many of these recommendations seem to fall short.
My first thought: how will this affect traffic.

I've been in Atlanta too long.
Sorry, I was not aware that happened. I'd like to say that it was completely unexpected, but I guess I can understand that that as a result of jwz's accounts of working at Netscape being flogged by VCs as way of duping young and naive engineers into sacrificing their youth and hard work on the altar of uncertain reward.
