JS may not be the most elegant language in the world, but it's still possible to apply some functional patterns to it without having to use a "functional" runtime/transpiler.

My draw to FP is to limit side-effects as much as possible. Personally I like to follow a message-oriented setup (stealing a play from Erlang's book) instead of shared variables. A useful lib I found on the client-side is postal.js but there are many other ways to do it.
They really only hired a well known guy cool guy at a post with a lot of exposure. Your comment feels like pretty intense overanalysis to me.
I am not disputing what you say, but for future reference you can create a bookmark that goes straight to the CS:GO channel. Or follow the channel so it's on your follow list all the time.

I do agree that the split has impacted CS:GO, but a few new releases have shaken up the top tiers. (Player Unknown's Battlegrounds for instance.)

RIP Uber, 2009–2017. It's been a good run.
Generic OTC drugs are healthcare. They often cost ~$3-5 a month. Pretty cheap, available to treat a wide variety of issues.

And increasingly, first contact will not be with an MD or DO (there's several paths, nurse practitioners, physicians assistants, etc).
As another poster said, though, you're basically asking for more BS, wishy washy corporate-speak, wish is often what people on this forum rail against. Damned if you do, damned in you don't.
> huge value for membership (Amazon Instant Video included)

Forcing customers to support their unwanted video service by bundling it with the next-day shipping service was a completely transparent move, and every Amazon customer I know a) saw straight through it, b) doesn't use it and c) would like to stop paying for it.
A key thing that's missing here: the incompleteness theorem is a statement about provability within a specified system of axioms that apply to statements about natural numbers.

It's totally possible to prove a Gödel sentence for one model of arithmetic in another that's "more powerful"; at a minimum, one can construct an expanded system that explicitly includes the sentence as an axiom. That system, however, has its own Gödel sentence.

The natural numbers part is equally important - the statement "the set of all proofs is countable" is trivially false for a system based on the reals, for instance. (Construct all statements of the form "exists x such that x > y" for y in R, a one-to-one correspondence between true statements and an uncountable set)

Applying results like the incompleteness theorem to statements that are entirely outside of its intended domain of discourse isn't doing mathematics, it's just bullshitting.
By the same token, if I were in Amazon's position, if I were to use the data, I'd make sure nobody knew about it. However, I'd then be in the unenviable position of the Enigma codebreakers, attempting to use information without the enemy knowing I had it.
> The problem with healthcare is the opposite: there is no free market

No, it's not; this is evident from all the other countries without free markets in healthcare that provide universal access and equal or better overall outcomes and far less cost (per capita, and even as a share of GDP) than the US, without anything more of a “free market”.
It's the first option. They are pretty intent on making sure their spending doesn't make its way back to their biggest competitor.

I thought tail calls were in the ES6 spec, just not implemented by all browsers or something. Node has a flag to use tail call optimization I believe.

EDIT: ES2015 specs [1]: "Some of its major enhancements include modules, class declarations, lexical block scoping, iterators and generators, promises for asynchronous programming, destructuring patterns, and proper tail calls." (emphasis mine)

The latter. Amazon doesn't have to look at the data directly but only passively monitor their own server logs to get an idea of what is happening.

That's interesting, but do you connect those Librettos to the internet to use mIRC? Sounds a bit scary with Windows 98 in 2017. I wonder how a newer BSD or Linux would run on it with say BitchX or some similar older irc client.
My thinking was same as the parent. Preventing access would involve telling someone who owns a computer and could, for example, connect to public wifi, that they are not allowed to do that and will be punished for doing so.

I think this would be relevant to someone who has committed a crime using a computer and remains banned from using the internet even after finishing a prison sentence (like the kid in the movie Hackers). It doesn't sound like that can happen now.
The trick is in our wetware. What the brain does with visual input is not just trivial object recognition. It relies on a complex internal model of the world to both augment the object recognition and to sometimes discard the visual data as invalid.

So sure, theoretically cameras would be enough. But we're not yet there with software, we can't use the camera input well enough. So if you can side-step the need for not-yet-invented ML methods by simply adding a LIDAR to a sensor suite, then it's an obvious way to go.

Compare with powered flight: we didn't get very far by trying to copy the way birds do it. The trick is in the super-light materials birds are made of, and the energy efficiency of their organisms. We only succeeded at powered flight when we brute-forced it by strapping a gasoline engine onto a bunch of wooden planks.
If it's the former, it's classic anti-competitive practices that merits anti-trust charges.

It probably doesn't have to come at that cost, it's just not unusual for it to.

If you peal back the layers, probably most rapid growth, hard driving large companies have left a wake of upset and screwed over people behind it. Nobody "gives" you a hundred billion dollar company.. Uber's leadership was just particularly inept at pivoting from "scorched earth" to a slightly less savage strategy.

This will be an interesting pivot to watch, I've been kind of betting with myself when will the first week come with no news or good news for uber. I thought they'd have spun up the pr machine months ago, talking about co2 saved by carpooling or something. Giant company, currently fixed runway, all eyes on it and damaged culture. If uber doesn't die, the next CEO is a superstar.
Functional programming in javascript is an antipattern instead use clojure. LOL if I were going to use a ??? -> js, I would at least use fable/reason. I have tried to get into lisp several times and then tried once to get into OCaml/F# and it was effortless.

> Every other developed nation has less of a free market in health care than the United States

Generally what you're referring to is government run healthcare. This isn't "less" free market, it is no free market, (at least for the non-rich). So it's in a different realm.

I can agree that this like infant mortality is much better in a lot of countries. But this doesn't change the the U.S. pretends to have a "market" for medical services when the prices aren't set by government but only by providers and insurance companies. The people who are required to make free markets work, the consumers, have very little power in negotiation. Hence, it's not a free market.

Apples, oranges.

But the free market that we should have will likely never exist given political pressure. Single payer it is.
I wonder if it would have been difficult to get his (or convince him for) resignation if he wouldn't have been in grieving phase, considering his history of retaliation ?

You can get some money together, go and buy a laptop, connect to free public wifi. The government cannot ban you from using it if you complete those steps. i.e. they cannot be the only thing preventing you from accessing the internet. If you have no money or no way of buying a computer or no way of accessing a connection that's on you, the government isn't required to give you those things for free. Huge difference between the two concepts and very much not word games.
Two points:

Firstly: RDF is an inadequate expression of most graphs, and SPARQL is a bad way to query graphs. See my comment here on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14603090

Secondly: graphs storage is something which is very tempting in theory but very hard to get right in practice. I'm not going to say it is never appropriate (that is clearly untrue), but for most production applications it isn't the right choice.

I'd note for example that most social applications use a RDMS to store a single layer of friends (and then perhaps have a second graph DB for batch/stream processing of graph functions).
Actually a 400 MHz one. Through the help of eBay I upgraded it to 1GB RAM and 160GB HDD. It's currently built into a desktop arcade machine running MAME.

I have an awful habit of re-using old tech instead of throwing it out. Hopefully I can eventually get rid of the stuff that still works at the MIT FLEA or something.
That is only for criminal trials. In civil trials you only need preponderance of evidence.
Walmart is notorious for wanting their suppliers to run the way they want it

If Uber was successful only in NYC, London, and Tokyo, someone would make the business work in every other city on earth.
I'm assuming Netflix has a pretty detailed contract with Amazon, assuring them service levels and preventing Amazon from doing anything nefarious. Still, I'm sure Netflix has contingency plans in place.
1. when you have to send employees to shelves you can't dynamically reprice. Also, I would get kinda pissed if my price was different than the guy next to me at the store.

I worked on a WM project - they insisted on GCP instead of AWS so I think it's the former, unless they have some trust partnership with Google.

UK hacker exploits online bank loophole to steal £100,000
I think he was right about the self-driving. He doesn't have a moat otherwise, as explained in another comment above; specifically ts not hard for a city to develop, deploy and advertise their own cab-hailing app and only a little harder to then design partnerships with other cities to network and share profits.

Uber's play was that they could subsidize that through private investors in order to scale. But now they have to find, hire, and compensate basically the whole tier of upper management, while still burning operating money. I'm not a business major, but that's probably REALLY not good.

I'm surprised I haven't read about it in another comment yet, but this is screaming for a company with good management and a stash of solid reputation/PR/marketing to come get a really good deal. Maybe Facebook because the culture wouldn't clash as much as my next two: apple and Google? Apple has the cash, and needs an entry into automotive while we wait for the apple car. Google/Waymo+Uber immediately settles the lawsuit, puts uber back into moat territory with self-driving, and gives google some people on the ground to compete with Amazon in last-mile?
The point he's making is that it's only unfeasible to negotiate when you need treatment this minute.

Therefore a free market system is feasible for everything else. Not that it's what we currently have as you point out.
Some really nice info!
I have one if you're interested. Full working condition.
I think this is mostly harmless.

To use your medicine example, it'd be more like looking up a webMD article for the common cold and seeing one about the common cold in martians. Don't we as readers and observers to think critically about what's presented to us? This reminds me of people who take outlandish and impossible Onion article headlines, don't bother reading the story, and then share it with shock and indignation on social media.

Also, in the example of your niece, this would serve as a good learning point for her then. If someone is confused by this, I'd say it's harmless confusion and it's something that's safe to be confused about.
I expected to be downvoted («the burden») but before you do please keep in mind I’m honestly trying to understand if those issues were preventable by using a different language. Just a honest curious question.
I went back for a PhD. I know a lot of people can't do this, but this is the reason why there are few AI specialists. You just can't become an expert by reading blogs and even research papers online. You need the full specialist environment, from discussions outside the bathroom to the drawings on the whiteboard.
It isn't stupid, it's cheap insurance that your competitor doesn't gain access to your data.

Yes there are ways to make sure Amazon doesn't have easy access to it, while still hosting with them, but they are hard, and at the end of the day, physical access trumps most of those security controls.

Also, Walmart are SUPER paranoid about their internal data.
Gitlab. The CI pipeline there they have is perfect and the pricing is better than github.

Then you can just use Docker Swarm/Rancher/etc for deployment.
I'm not sure how you can't see the difference. If you have a laptop + Internet subscription you can access the internet. If you don't, tough luck.

"Access to the Internet" is the right. Not the tools to access the internet.

If you look at founder/CEOs who have made that leap, they all tend to be very young (Jobs, Gates, Zuck, etc) and had very strong teams behind them.

And in Jobs' case, it took an absence from the company of more than 10 years…

That's at least 4-5 automotive cycles away, IMO (so 25-30 year away).

I am the exact opposite. Twitch chat is the item I hate most about the experience. For smaller names, the chat is slow and enjoyable, but for streams like those that Twitch is signing deals with, the chat is nothing but emotes and memes. Completely pointless and annoying. It feels like going to a concert where everyone shouts the entire time.

Oh, but you do have ambiguity in the grammar, except that parser

warn you that the input could be parsed differently. This leads to the false

Its not stupid to not want to feed money and data about your operations to a direct competitor.

Maybe amazon would look at the data, maybe they wouldn't but if they did they would do it in a way that was nearly 100% impossible to ever prove.

DyVEDeep: Dynamic Variable Effort Deep Neural Networks
Of course they can be profitable. Uber doesn't have overhead. There are no Uber factories or millions of rotting vehicles in a warehouse. At the core it is a iOS/Android app (4 guys could maintain this), a call center (India), and a law firm (outsource it). They would have to cut their staff, remove the ping pong tables and get real but profitability is there. They are on a land grab.

Sorry yes, what I meant was: they happen only in the presence of unsafe code. Of course the symptom can show up outside and that's one reason they're taken very seriously.
I think this is just a disagreement over the term "startup". For something like a new restaurant, or a mom and pop store to be profitable, it might take many years. But most actual startups are going to validate an idea quickly and either make money or not in a short amount of time.
With immutable objects, you can compare them (obj1 === obj2) and assume that if they're the same, none of the properties have changed. You don't have that sort of guarantee with normal JavaScript objects, so you need to do a deep comparison.

If your component's state and props are immutable objects, then shouldComponentUpdate becomes a much easier problem to solve.
I believe their point was in the abstract. In a system where it is feasible to shop around, people will tend to do so and it will put downward pressure on prices.

Maybe the thing to do is to start treating insurance-hospital networks that do not disclose pricing as collusion. It certainly makes no sense to me that our system has individual patients having adversarial dealings with 2 huge institutions every time they need care.
Uber is dead in 18 months. I was just in vegas last week and its still filled with taxis, never saw a uber the whole week.
Just to get this straight: people were OK with the abductions, assault and stalkings; opposition research and personal threats against journalists; distasteful and probably illegal practices against competitors like booking fake rides; illegal surveillance of officials charge with regulating them; predatory surge pricing; classifying workers as independent contractors to avoid paying benefits or following fair employment laws; ties to Trump; rampant sexual harassment and toxic bro culture...

But tipping is a deal breaker.
True as far as it goes, but I would still expect the bugs caught by the rewrite to outweigh the newly-introduced ones most of the time.

It's simply not true that "emoji are the first time that text has been widely used to convey emotional state". It's just done it with words rather than cartoonish face icons. Almost from the beginning text has conveyed emotional state. Read any of the biblical psalms ("Have mercy on me, O God!") or other emotion-conveying passages in the Bible ("Jesus wept"). And other texts, ancient and modern, convey emotional state too -- all the time: most poems, most fiction, and a lot of non-fiction.

As for your other claim that emoji "will be as fundamental a form of communication as alphabetic text" in 10 years, I'm pretty skeptical about that, but I guess time will tell. I for one very much appreciate the written word, and hope that my books aren't filled with yellow faces anytime soon.

You believe that god exists or has existed. You believe god is complex. You believe that god did not have a creator and did not come from something. Therefore you believe it is possible for complicated things to exist without being created. We are in agreement on this. Namely, complexity does not imply creation.

In the same my statement, "god's existence begs the question, who made him?" is not valid to you your question who made matter is not valid to me. The question implies creation and both of us believes that something wasn't created. We just differ on what thing is.

London Black cabs are more expensive than regular taxis because of the huge amount of knowledge those drivers have.
