Unless you think of programs as having a general structure with specific parts to be filled in by the coder before or during evaluation.

This is how we can design a language for communicating general solutions to people's individual internal issues. Like self-help mad libs.
The flow comment is interesting, especially because it's one I resonate with. Every time I want to hotlink an image from Facebook I cringe at the multi-line horror in the clipboard.

So you're talking about some fairly distant future where roadworks are completely automated and the price of raw materials doesn't matter anymore.
No, MDMA will give you exactly the opposite effect. It will encourage and cement connections to culture/s and social bonds. It just effects your serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine levels. What magic mushrooms (and other psychedelics like LSD) do is increase the communication between distant parts of the brain that don't normally communicate. That will lead you away from consensus reality, not deeper into it.
That's why a picture is worth a thousand words :)

Once I started renting and eventually owning a house, it always drove me a little nutty to observe that many of those power consumers you cited are variations of a heat pump of one kind or another. I've always wanted to co-locate the heat output from the compressor of the A/C+refrigerator+chest freezer, dryer, and dishwasher into the same equipment space as my water heater, which uses a heat pump to extract that heat and cool the space at the same time. Any "overflow" heat I'd like to put into zeolite balls [1], and release back when needed for the washer, dryer and dishwasher to use.

This is on top of the nuttiness I accrete after observing that foamed glass insulation that can put us up to terrific equivalent R-values (R-100+ pencils out if you intend the building structure to pass through several generations), and drop climate control operational energy costs 80-90% from current typical expenses, is a dead letter in the US residential market [2].

The amount of energy developed world practices and infrastructure throw away is mind boggling, once you view everything around you in energy flow terms.

But like others are discussing in this thread, industrial and commercial energy use overshadows residential [3], over 60%. The low-hanging fruit sits there, because the ROI is typically faster or more bearable in those business-oriented contexts. I'll still pursue saving for and building a highly-insulated and -instrumented shell on my property once my house is paid off in a few years, just to scratch those nutty itches.

I deleted Uber and installed Lyft after riding in a car in Portland where the driver had discreetly tucked a dollar bill in the console as a tacit cue to tip. I hate tipping. I avoid situations where I have to tip, or get pressured to tip.
Because Americans get really mad when someone else gets something for free.
Much like 'bigtable' was a google internal product, and only published a set of papers describing the system, and now we have hbase.. Or how 'mapreduce' was a google internal product, and now we have hadoop, etc.
Great to see them continue this series, and glad that this one touches on what it takes for other companies to achieve something similar. I talk about BeyondCorp a lot as evidence that the Zero Trust model works, and that employees will love it.

The most common feedback I get is that it seems like too much of a stretch for companies that don’t operate at Google scale. That may be true if looking at the system as a whole, but the principles behind the architecture should attract anyone’s attention - remove trust from the network by authenticating and authorizing every request based on what’s known about the user and connecting device at the time of the request.

Disclaimer: I work for ScaleFT, a provider of Zero Trust access management solutions.

Edit: If folks are interested in hearing more about how other companies can achieve something similar, here's video of a talk I gave at Heavybit a few months ago on the subject: https://www.heavybit.com/library/blog/beyondcorp-meetup-goog...
What if the premise is wrong or misguided? In other words, Walmart doesn't pay well because retail doesn't pay well.
Nobody is forcing people to work at Walmart, and if they could, wouldn't they find better paying jobs? What keeps people working at walmart? Is it possible the rest of the retail sector isn't able to pay much more so they're all in the same boat?

I've got close to 20 years under my belt and am in Silicon Valley, and I'd love to hear from recruiters more often. I am curious to know what magic sauce you "captains of industry" have causing you to get so many calls from recruiters that you find it annoying.
That is the best and most fair solution. You only find out your tip AFTER you've rated the passenger.
Interesting. "Let's block those who would block comparison shopping" certainly makes more free-market sense than "let's block comparison shopping."
Freedom from data races is not hard and has nothing to do with managing lifetimes or avoiding GC; Concurrent Pascal did it in the 1970s for a language without shared references, Eiffel did it in the 1980s for references, too (and with GC). Rust just uses one specific model (the ownership approach, see in particular Boyapati's and Flanagan's papers), but it's not the only one. There's a huge body of research especially from the 1990s that covers this area in considerable detail.

The problem is that a lot of mainstream programming languages pretty much ignored the state of the art when implementing their concurrency models. See Per Brinch Hansen's rant about Java [1], for example.

Almost certainly yes. Otherwise it's not actually removed.
The seals unbroken is valid only for a very restricted type of items (sealed audio, video or computer software, such as DVDs, which you have unsealed upon receipt [1]).

Also, in general, there is no "unused" or "box sealed" condition. Just you have to return the item undamaged and "as it was".

You are required to take good care of the goods and you may be liable for the reduced value of goods caused by handling them beyond what’s necessary to be sure they work and are what you ordered. [2]

Yeah, my paystub is per paycheck. That's why I can say how much I make per paycheck off hand, but I'm going to need to do a little math to figure out how much that is per month.
Except the article basically argues for the opposite of guaranteed minimum income. For example, it argues against the food choice provisions of the SNAP program.
Anyone who hires low wage workers domestically does this really, if I was supreme leader I'd abolish the tax write off for firms that pay a wage below the cost of living and consider additional taxes directed at that group (also resolve the welfare cliff but that is a separate issue keeping wages low) to level the playing field. Our tax code incentives behavior that we want to discourage.

In daydreaming what this article was about I thought it was going to be a transglobal power distribution where the folks receiving the sun were powering the folks in the evening the other hemisphere away. Pretty interesting thought but I'd doubt it would work uniformly. Probably a couple of pairs of partners like US and Japan or Australia or something could benefit from such an arrangement.

I'd easily use NYC taxis if they had an app and payment system as convenient as Uber's. I HATE having to tip, but wouldn't mind paying higher to have it included in the price; I also abhor the taxi TV nonsense blaring in NYC cabs.
I find this depends a lot on where you are. In my house in California, I can leave the clothes in the washer a lot longer. In florida, the washer is already stinking most of the time. Even if I disinfect the washer occasionally with bleach, it still ends up stinking again. I put this down to the general humid environment.
I wonder about America's utility function.

"The hunger problem" is clearly someone else's problem, but what would be America's problem? Something about competing with other countries in various aspects of power, while mainaining and servicing its internal power structure, probably.

How relevant is feeding people to that?
"Why doesn't" is the better question. We clearly can.
January 2011 article: "Stock Markets are 'Overpriced': Robert Shiller" http://www.cnbc.com/id/41288407

Stock markets in the developed world have risen too much, Robert Shiller, economics professor at Yale, told CNBC Thursday.

On Wednesday, the Dow bounced above and below the psychologically-important 12,000 for much of the session. But stocks look expensive, Shiller said.

"I would say the market is overpriced based on fundamentals … I'm talking about the US and probably Europe," he said.

[The market has almost doubled since then.]

I think there's power in telling people that the expected way of using this service is that they'll return some of the items that they order via the service. A lot of people see a stigma about returning clothes (i.e. "I didn't like it" not being a valid reason) and therefore won't go the route of having to initiate a return for something they've ordered online.

This bypasses a lot of that, in the same way that something like Trunk Club or Warby Parker does.
I don't believe in prescriptivism, the world is chaotic and reward is a fiction. My point is simply that in the context of crypto markets, there most definitely is a house, and they are doing as expected.
Things like that makes me wish NDN[1] would succeed.

Essentially in this network instead using addressing to address hosts, they address the data. This brings interesting properties, since routers are aware what data is being transferred they can start caching it.

In the end no CDNs are needed (network takes care of it) so people can host data themselves without worrying of it getting too popular.

> Interesting! I'd never thought about that. It would be awesome if drives could just seamlessly wake up and start delivering data with no real penalty. Anywhere I can learn more about this or the burst optimization? Is that something anybody in the press is measuring and benchmarking today?

The main burst optimization is SLC write caching, which is universal on client/consumer drives that use TLC NAND flash (three bits per cell), and common on more recent drives that use MLC NAND flash (two bits per cell). M.2 PCIe SSDs also suffer from the thermal constraints of their small form factor and they will throttle under sustained benchmarking, but almost all of them can stay below their thermal limits when subjected to real-world workloads.

As for power management wake-up latency, I'm about halfway through testing my collection, and it'll be a part of my SSD reviews going forward. It's not an issue for desktops because they seldom make use of drive and link power management, but laptops face some serious tradeoffs. I'll make a full article of it over the next few weeks, but I have to finish a few other reviews first. Keep an eye on AnandTech.com next month.
This is precisely the reason I switched from Uber to Lyft. I never carry cash, even though I desperately wanted to tip that Uber driver who picked me up at the subway station in the middle of the night and dropped me off at my house 20 miles away. I appreciate this option, even if I don't always use it.

"One of the benefits of scheduling over storage is that there's no extra losses due to charging / discharging the battery."

Loss - that should be one of the first clues that scheduling is not storage. Any electrical storage in my lifetime will have loss, I can accept that.

I'll give you scheduling as storage when it comes to a freezer or hot water heater. Why? Electricity was converted to something that can be stored. There is loss - a clue to real storage taking place, not pretend scheduling "storage". If I heat a tank of hot water and want to shower an 3 hours later after I've turned off the power to my house I'll have a hot shower (in the dark).

Try the same thing with an electric clothes dryer. Plan to run it in 3 hours and turn the power off and see how well it works. What? The dryer didn't store any electricity?

Storage, by definition, means you have something. When it comes to the grid, storage and scheduling can both reduce peak demand, bug scheduling is far from storage.

This is my attitude as well. There is no down side to politely replying to recruiters, even if the role they have for you is not interesting. The best that can happen is that slim chance you'll find your dream job. The worst? I dunno--the recruiter doesn't get back to you?
Mozilla's made a couple of bet-the-company decisions in the last couple years, including Firefox OS and the phone. Given the results of those, it's a miracle of luck and effective management that they're still in business.

But that would be another bet-the-company prospect, and I don't see them likely to try that for a couple years.
Is there a hunger problem, or is there a poverty problem?

The USA has an obesity crisis and the overwhelming majority of the population is fat, obese, or morbidly obese. Is that hunger? Or is that from poverty? Or something else?
From a "Two Cultures" analysis the original 60s/70s stuff was discovered by Team Science, think of DDT and Carson and "Silent Spring". That all got co opted away from Team Science and run by Team Humanities which is in charge of propaganda, so as a kid I got to sit in school thru videos and coloring books about Condor birds with no thought beyond playground diplomacy of whos now cool (Condors, apparently) and whos now not cool anymore (Some chemical acronym with Ds and Ts). The new stuff is pure "Team Humanities" from the start, a compelling narrative untainted by science or logic, and it shows. From a distance they do look the same. Its like the difference between a good "Inspired by a true story" cable TV psuedo-documentary movie and a purely fictional movie.
The most revolutionary thing about self-driving cars is distributed computing
Wasn't there some court case where Uber was told they could not ban tips?
The article says they aren't (just like Lyft doesn't):

>Uber won’t take any part of the tips given drivers.[1]

IIRC, it would also be legally dubious to do so.

[1] And for the record, I prefer this phrasing to the more common "Drivers keep 100% of tips", which is not true unless they're evading taxes.
If you think about it, all social problems stem from a single word:

superiority.

So, why can't America solve the hunger problem? Because there are some who want to be superior to others. The end. The main value of being a "have" is not being a "have not". So if you give things to the "have nots", then you've undermined the "haves" (the distance between them has decreased)
Ask HN: Where to host private MonoRepo online?
All the existing tools seem to be git oriented.

They also got rid of the link to the upload page. They really want you to download the app.
That's a subset of possible governments.
Not always. Depends on the restaurant.
I think you are going a bit too far with your requirement for a popup banner every time you use it. Do you expect a popup banner every time you click a link on a web page taking you to a third party website, because they are going to be able to run javascript code on your computer?

As long as the plugin is clear that they are using a third party service that will recieve your images, I think it is fine to leave it at that. Not everyone feels that is a deal breaker, and they shouldn't be annoyed by a pop up just because their deal breaker is different than yours.
Unless it's farm subsidies.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. As far as I was aware, the point of 0.x language specs was to allow for breaking changes and rapid language development before stable 1.0+ releases. Is there something that I am missing here? I'm not very familiar with Julia, maybe they are handling it differently?
I'm not sure I buy the notion of, "Solves the two language problem." There is always going to be some library or environment consideration that makes a unified language for everything impractical (unless your entire business runs on an AS400).
Reddit has short URLs; they're in the sidebar of every submission, e.g., http://redd.it/6idi12
I read most of this article and skimmed the rest--- there doesn't seem to be a consistent thesis?

Allowing soda and other "junk" food maybe isn't the best thing, and I'm sure there is some mild bed-sharing between Kraft/BigSoda and the foodbanks, but I'm also in favor of letting people spend their benefits how they choose to.

Andy Fisher also recommends a higher minimum wage, which I disagree with. It makes it harder for people to get started in a job, and also if there are a lot more people applying for $15 jobs than there are jobs, it opens the likelyhood that discrimination will take place.

Economists are kinda uncertain about this though: http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/15-minimum-wage The conclusion seems to be "$15 isn't that high of a wage so it won't distort the market that much."
You are describing external recruiters, and there are many. Try and find one specialising in your niche, if you have one.
Uber is (finally) rolling out tipping

It annoys me when IT folks despise recruiters and refuse to acknowledge how lucky they are for being stalked by recruiters. Non-stem folks would easily exchange places with you.

Be thankful that jobs search for you and not the opposite.
North Americans are the most wasteful people in the world [1] and I have a suspicion that the USA Government is the most wasteful in the world too (tons of articles about wasteful spending).

It's from bad food. It's been overly processed to where there is no nutrition, so actual problems of hunger and malnutrition are no longer addressed. Just cravings.
I'm not sure if Rust is a proper comparison, as the standard library for a language for scientific and technical computing is much larger than a language for systems programming: you want a vast vocabulary to deal with matrices as opposed to a minimalist set of orthogonal features for systems programming. Another consideration: with Julia, it aims to be both a full-featured programming language (with a type system and support for metaprogramming for library developers), as well as approachable enough for a scientist to pick up.

This. I've worked in food banks and an operation offering low-income persons and the homeless free food. While I applaud the organizations and people trying to do something, a lot of the food we give out is junk. Lots of high-carb, highly processed, high-additive containing foods.

The sad part is that I recall when at one operation I worked at people didn't want the fresh stuff when we got it. Sadly, I think they are addicted to the processed garbage.

I'm sure they will do promoted jobs. But I wonder if this is more of a defensive move against job related ads that are stagnant - they're trying to do something similar to what they did with the hotel booking: to encourage higher all around bidding from the ecosystem on ads (or find new revenue stream) by putting competition on the intermediaries (ota) that were outbidding the orignators (hotels) for keywords about the originators.
I don't even understand what the difference between a professional social network and a normal (?) social network is.

I wouldn't know on how to behave differently.

Not only that, but they already have cloud environments that allow them to get all of that data anyway.
