Meh. Most of the metadata is actually not that hard to understand in source form.

Though, I think this is a valid concern (and I hate that). It is just similar to how people used to have markup in their documents to see what they were typing, but people are lured by anything that hides this markup. See, nobody actually likes typing \bold{hello} instead of just highlighting and bolding. More, people just want the markup to be hidden.

Orgmode shines not because it hides anything. But because it made a very coherent set of macros to type the markup that I want to use. That and source blocks. (Ok, mainly source blocks.)
I'd welcome other opinions, but I find Laravel's support for 3rd party tools/frameworks to be genuinely superb. They save me time on ramp up and implementation, which is often the single biggest bottleneck for shipping side projects.

Pusher is one of many Pub/Sub mechanisms laravel supports [1], and Vuejs is included "out of the box".

Point is, these frameworks aren't exactly bolted together any more or less than any other software integration.

The real story here seems to be that the support person had a poor grasp of English. The real outrage should be Adobe's lack of quality control on their support platforms.

And I don't hold it against the support person either. Whether they learned English as a second language or are just not particularly good at it, Adobe sets up their support centers and it's there responsibility to make sure that their (Adobe) customers receive clear and appropriate communications.
This is akin to killing off a huge portion of the population to combat overpopulation. AKA it's a joke.

It's more complicated than that. There are situations where there's a class "A" share and class "B" share where class "A" has no voting rights. So the ownership by class A means close to nothing. Then there are institutional owners, like pension funds, who vote on behalf of the people who actually put the money in the fund.

The rights of minority shareholders in public companies, like you and me, needs to be protected/regulated by law. If someone wants to pay their CEO $1B an hour they can take their company private. Otherwise what happens is that the average shareholders gets screwed (like I was for example when I held GM shares as it went bankrupt).

There are approximately 92 million ETH outstanding. It's much harder to measure market liquidity on the various exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) markets.

With hundreds of ICOs popping up, it's difficult to say what impact they have on the market. Bancor raised approximately 400,000 ETH in their recent ICO, or 0.4% of all ETH outstanding, and the BAT sale raised 156,250 ETH. Prior to the attack, the DAO had attracted over 11 million ETH, or nearly 14% of all ETH outstanding at the time.

And yet, according to my wife's surgeon, gall bladder removal surgery is the most common surgery in America. (Though he might be biased.) You don't appear to need your appendix. You can live fine with one kidney, or half a liver. I think you can get by with one lung. I've had friends who've had huge portions of their digestive tract removed.

I realize that that just speaks to the body's generally robust build, and its redundancy, but you can probably remove more organs from a human body and have it keep running than random parts from under a car's hood.

Note that it's from 1995. Back then, many people still thought that machines with multiple processors were exotic things of little interest even in the enterprise. That list most notably included one Linus Torvalds. It also included OP author John Osterhout, who should also have known better - even more so, since Stanford was one of the places where such things were not so exotic. He even says, right up front, that threads still have their uses when you need true CPU concurrency. Now that's a common case. Generalizing from this presentation to the current day is probably a worse idea than threads ever were.

People want to have something as "a formal token of delayed reciprocal altruism (Richard Dawkins)" and these tokens have probably existed as long as language (~100k years) first starting as shells of a specific size and species. The first DDG hit of this phrase[1] brings up an essay that looks interesting, although I have not had time to read it yet. Gold and silver (and credit based on them) have been that token for most societies since around 600BC. Fiat currencies have been used but flame out spectacularly. I don't think one has lasted more than 100 years. Private gold was made illegal in the US in 1933 and the dollar debased. State exchanges of gold and currency at a fixed rate ended in 1971 with the dollar going full fiat. People are looking for the new token.

Think about it like this:

To us VIM users, keyboard shortcut users, and speed typers, watching you mouse around clicking buttons is the equivalent to watching someone try to program over a laggy RDP connection, or use a really slow machine, or someone typing out one shell command at a time and hitting enter after every single one when they could just use &&, some for loops and some redirections and finish.

You can try to say that it really doesn't slow you down, but it really does, and it's very noticable to other people.
Such a weird recommendation. It's so variable. 8:15 would be perfect for me (2 year old and 2 month old at home). 8:15pm is after bed time. If the dinner started at 5pm, it wouldn't work for some parents, and for others 5pm might be way too early.

Mosul’s Library Without Books
This is not the Holder (well, Covington would be more accurate) Report. The Introduction to this document makes reference to report Covington prepared for and presented to the Special Committee of Uber's board, and to the fact that the full board adopted all of the recommendations in that report.

Beyond the Introduction, this seems to just be the recommendations from the Covington report; the full report (per the Introduction ) was to cover “(1) Uber’s workplace
environment as it related to the allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in
Ms. Fowler’s post; (2) whether the company’s policies and practices were sufficient to prevent and
properly address discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the workplace; and (3) what steps
Uber could take to ensure that its commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace was reflected
not only in the company’s policies but made real in the experiences of each of Uber’s employees.”

This document only includes the part addressing (3), which implicitly indicates that the bottom line conclusion on (2) was “no”, but doesn't really provide any clear information on (1).

"Marissa Mayer's replacement as CEO of Yahoo, Thomas McInerney, will get paid twice as much as she did—for a job basically doing nothing."

"After all, the company that McInerney will run will not be an operating business like the one Yahoo is today, but rather an investment company not all that different from a mutual fund."

"In short, McInerney is getting paid a huge amount to sit atop a fund that basically runs itself. The way Yahoo describes McInerney's responsibilities in a filing Monday makes it sound like he will be little more than a glorified trustee, the way a retiree might occasionally check in on the status of the family nest egg."
There are no plans to add multithreading to the platform.

Currently, we are not spending resources on parallel execution (with isolates), either. There are other easier features that have more impact.

Eventually, we will revisit this topic, and see if we can make things easier. Multithreading itself is extremely unlikely, but there are other ways we can make parallel execution better; for example with easier data sharing between isolates.

To add to what you said, this could be used for more than just propaganda campaigns and targeted attacks. For example:

> In Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data

Which implies that voter registration lists may have been affected.

During the primary elections, there were reports in certain states of people who found their names missing from the voter lists and had to cast provisional ballots. (Anecdotally, I know at least one person who votes regularly and found their name missing, despite not having moved or changed their registration information since the previous election, only a few months before).

From the article, we can't say if those are related, but it's clear tampering with voter registration information was the intention, whether or not they actually succeeded:

> In fact, the Obama administration believed that the Russians were possibly preparing to delete voter registration information or slow vote tallying in order to undermine confidence in the election. That effort went far beyond the carefully timed release of private communications by individuals and parties
That's exactly what I thought.

India's first pod hotel
I think you're missing the focus. Obviously, catering dinners for employees at 8:15 PM has created an environment that encourages sexual harassment, otherwise this would never have been included in an investigative report. An example, which isn't given in the report, is a male employee taking a female employee to a catered dinner after work hours and making advances.

Regardless of how a company drains the life out of its employees with overtime, if they create 'perks' that married people can also participate in, or a larger bunch, there is less risk of this happening.

The advice about dinner catering is in the context of reducing sexual harassment in the workplace and has nothing to do with anything else.
I don't know if being a female CEO has much to do with it. She was making a lot of money because she was supposed to turn things around and save the company. Instead Yahoo made a ton of huge blunders, sold off Alibaba and then finally sold the company to Verizon for a fraction of what it used to be worth.
I agree with you insofar that cryptocurrency protocols involve economic game theoretic challenges that are impossible to fully validate without running in full production.

> what is the goal

The goal the recommendations address is stated in the Introduction: “to ensure that its commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace was reflected not only in the company’s policies but made real in the experiences of each of Uber’s employees.”
It seems the paper was published around 2010-2011. This is Martin Kersten, same guy who did MonetDB. I'm not sure if the idea went anywhere since it was very radical and wacky, but perhaps it's waiting for its time to come :-)

The neat thing about it isn't that it /can/ work in such an architecture, it's more that it's optimized to leverage it. Their idea is that you can spin data through the ring one way, and spin requests the other way, and you can have a multi-node distributed data system while avoiding a ton of global coordination.

> you could theoretically increase your energy efficiency by 50% if you could leave idle machines powered off and effectively bring them on line quickly enough to meet your design goals

It's a cool pattern that I keep seeing of people trying similar ideas at different scales! Multicore processors for mobile computers also turn cores on and off to save power, and migrate and balance processes across cores, I believe.

Similarly, the process migration thing could be solved at the language level rather than the OS level, which I think is what some erlang stuff does - as long as you have global coordination and can serialize process state and code, why not?

I feel like you've abstracted one level too far. We're not comparing sex and firearms in a concrete sense; we're comparing one type of education as an appropriate way to mitigate the potentially damaging effects that being untrained causes, and another type of education as an appropriate way to mitigate the potential damages of being untrained.

As it stands, it's no worse or less than the nauseatingly constant comparison between firearms and automobiles, when the more apt comparison (in my opinion) is comparing firearms rights vs. voting rights.
