GM VAG and Toyota all have similar shares of the global market. Depending on how you want to nitpick you can make The Americans, Germans or Japanese look like the dominant player in global vehicle sales but it's really too global of an industry to draw the lines based on the country the CEO's office happens to be in.
I feel the problem here is what I imagine as this formula:

reliability * efficiency = developer skill

I.e. for a given level of reliability, you need more skilled[0] developers to be able to write efficient code. And I'm not thinking about premature optimizations here - just that the code an experienced developer will write the first time around will be efficient enough.

So in short, if you aim for certain level of reliability and employ cheap/unskilled developers, efficiency will suffer. And as long as companies don't really care about performance, developers will not gain the necessary experience to write efficient code with just-in-time optimizations.

--

[0] - for "skilled" meaning probably mostly some knowledge and experience in writing fast code; it's probably not the experience you'll get when all coding you've ever done is for the web.
None. The problem is that unless externally enforced (as AMP does), pages which keep lean CSS and JS are not the norm.
10 Guidelines for Storytelling to Hype Your Startup
> Not filling a page of what is effectively 80KB static text-content with 20MBs of JS, fonts, tracking-code and other "assets" would be a good start.

I imagine if you expand and codify this idea, you will come up with something very close to AMP. I'm not sure if you're against the idea of AMP/AMP-like standard, or against Google's execution of it.
Great read. Very much follows the "people buy pain relief" mantra that I was taught in sales classes.
I would argue that HR is much more about dealing with people, and managers are responsible for providing systems for the people to work effectively in. Especially if you are upper management, you aren't going to be working with people most of the time, you are going to be finding ways to make them work more effectively in a systemic way.
If you have really limited resources, then bash or one of the other shells are the only tools at hand. Embedded devices might not give you enough disk space to get perl, ruby or python.
That's the problem: no one is using plain vanilla HTML pages with lean JS/CSS anymore. Just go to any news website, disable your cache, disable any adblockers you might have and see the total data transferred or number of network requests.

Example: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/26/middleeast/western-wall-is...

That link is in the frontpage of cnn.com right now. I disabled my cache, disabled uBlock and refreshed the page. 329 network requests and 3.9 megabytes of data transfer later, the page is still loading.

I think it unfortunately takes experience to write efficient code the first time around. Experience people are not gaining, since there is little to no focus on performance outside embedded and gamedev circles.
This could be a pretty cruel way to vet somebody. Intentionally deny them wifi access and see how they react. Perhaps more competent companies perform better? More likely people just flop.

Yes but ETH and gas are not the same thing. You use ETH to buy your gas. The gas is burned up in use. ETH is paid to the miners, who can use it to pay their expenses.

Hm, doesn't seem to add up. Flattened countries were not buying cars - so the foreign market for US cars would actually go down post-war? As for reduced competition - how many foreign cars did America import before the war? We're talking the excess capacity of pre-WWII Germany - a depressed economy (the indirect cause of WWII) which couldn't have been much.

I'd credit an increased US appetite for goods, a huge influx of trained workers (trained by the military for war purposes) and a excess war-related manufacturing capacity turned to domestic goods with the prices reduced by volume manufacturing.

All of which could be called "because the US won".

Mobile ads are much better than web ads, in my experience. You just need to wait X amount of seconds and it's gone. Apps don't have pop-unders or any of those insufferable loop traps.

Plus you can often pay to make them go away. You usually don't have that ability on the web.

I haven't seen a description of it anywhere that I can think of. The driver lives in C:\Windows\system32\mcupdate_{genuineintel,authenticamd}.dll. All it does is detect which CPU it's running on, and load the appropriate microcode.

Loading the microcode is straightforward---all you need to do is put a few values in the appropriate MSRs. This is described in the Intel manuals, Volume 3. The microcode itself is embedded in the above DLLs, as a big binary table. The latest entry I see is 20150812 for the Intel 0x40651, aka Haswell.

I have enjoyed this AMP saga, and really look forward to the finale: how turning off AMP impacted SEO. Since the author has the "before" picture with AMP enabled, I'm really curious what the "after" will look like.

EDIT: I'm curious about the downvotes - care to elaborate what you disagree with? The author indicated that SEO was a driving force for using AMP, so I think that being curious about the outcome would be acceptable...
We are now going through a major economic disruption, as human labor is being replaced through technology and automation. Yes, in some areas, as described here, the replacement is more like assistance than elimination. But, in time, more and more and more of work will be done by machines. Machines will even manufacture and repair machines. At that time man will enter a new era - a post-capitalism era where we will be free to do what we want to do, not what we have to do. It is like being retired with enough money. Between now and then, things will get worse. Politicians and the rich are misdirecting our attention. We are told it is because of offshoring - whereas only 14% of all job losses are due to that, whereas 86% of all job losses are due to technology/automation replacing human activity (stats are provided by expert with http://yourhomeworkhelp.org/do-my-statistics-homework/ ). The investment class is reaping the benefits - while people compete for fewer and fewer good jobs. The costs of Education, Healthcare and Housing continue to outpace wage growth for most. Many troubles of today's society will get worse until we get a handle on managing the transition. Still, as stated here https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/19/technology/lawyers-artifi... and as I believe AI cannot replace the actual human being and I hope it never will
For decades I favored Linux in the desktop, then adopted Android, etc.

In the last year, due to Apple's reasonably good support for privacy, I have gone all-in for iOS and macOS devices. I didn't make this decision lightly, but for me it seemed like the right thing to do.

I favor using Google services that I pay for (GCP, Play Music and Movies) but I am concerned about tracking activities of Google and Facebook.

I think Apple deserves support for respecting customer privacy.
Tragedy of the Commons, as mentioned by others, sounds most adequate. In general this is one of the whole class of coordination problems - where actors reach globally suboptimal outcomes by failing to coordinate with one another.

Tragedy of the Commons seems to imply some harm is happening to the actors themselves; the coordination problem with computing resources here is a little different, because most of the time, application vendors don't feel any impact of the problem they contribute to, which makes them even less incentivized to coordinate.
Popular people are more affluent, affluent people have greater resources to expending on their quality of life, people with better QOLs live longer, thus popular people live longer?

Why Are We Still Talking About “A Players”?
The concept behind the tokens is that they take the value place of equity in a company. A person buying tokens is saying that they believe that the core product the company is providing is good enough that the tokens will increase in value in the future.

Replace the word "token" with the word "equity" in the previous sentence and it would still be true.
I'm glad you added that. In the UK chip and pin machines are fastest using the Ethernet connection, much slower on the phone line. One advantage of the phone connection however is reduced PCI requirements. SAQ B is simpler than SAQ B-IP
Yeah... they had a partial defense there - the simple functions like add and subtract called existing functions with some wrappers for overflow issues, which they claim is standard practice for Ether (I wouldn't know). But the defense of exponentiation was just "there isn't a good one yet, so we built our own, and according to some tests we didn't show anyone it looks fine".
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. He created this perception that to be part of the "creative class", you must live in SF, DC, Austin, Seattle, etc. We should get away from that idea. I am all for denser housing, public transit, walkable communities, etc. But I think other cities should also get a share of the prosperity. Good talented people can't afford SF, so they go another, less hip city. I think that is a good thing.
Actually, turning right is mostly a solved problem in the netherlands. If you ever run into a situation where it's dangerous they just haven't upgraded that intersection yet. The solution here is to make sure a car has the space to make the full turn to the right before encountering the cycle lane. That way the car driver doesn't have to look behind them for bikes, but can see them clearly out the front window.

Typically a program like Ansible will have the majority of its use cases implemented in a minority of its code, while the rest of the code will be there to support special cases, edge cases, rare use cases, etc. So that contributes to the disparity in size.

Be careful what you wish for -- setting the minimum wage to half the prevailing wage at a municipality is likely to create very weird setups, especially where a richer cluster is next to a residential or poorer one, e.g. Manhattan and Jersey City.

Bank tellers and janitors in Manhattan would be getting a fortune compared to the same job being done (by the same company) less than a mile away. I suspect the "bonus" jobs will quickly have all sorts of semi-illegal strings attached to them; there will be a rush by employers to reclassify jobs as being done in a poorer area (we do not work there, we are just visiting / delivering), etc.

While the current state has problems, the proposed fix may be worse than the disease it is trying to cure. My 2c.
In Spotify I have my entire library in the cloud, accessible from my phone, home computer, office, etc. I get weekly (great) recommendations based on what I actually listen to. I can browse related artists, share songs with my friends, stream the music to all my home speakers in sync.
Of course an mp3 player use less power, it only does a fraction of what Spotify does. It's not even like comparing apples and oranges, it's like comparing your bike to a jet fighter.

And, yeah, I grew up with Winamp and MP3s (or even .MOD/.XM). But the world moves on.

Well since the AMP cache is hosted exclusively by Google they already have the request logs to all those files. That contains your User-Agent header, your IP address, language and maybe cookies if they set those in the future.
Running MPD as a separate user is pretty easy, there's lots of ways to do it and MPD doesn't care as long as it has access to your music and can open the socket (Neither of which require root by themselves). The easiest way is to just modify the user in mpd.conf and let mpd change to the user when it starts. But you can also just start it manually as another user, or change user in the init-script/system-service/etc.. mpd doesn't care how you do it.

PulseAudio on the other hand throws a fit. For reasons unknown to me, PulseAudio basically doesn't support running as a system-wide instance, so things get pretty messy if you want sound to come from multiple users (IE. Your user, and your mpd user). If you only ever use one user on your system, I'd recommend just running mpd under that user - I believe that's what I did to get it working on my computer. Of course, if you're not using PulseAudio then this isn't an issue in the first place.
Surely the most sensible approach is that of minimising the cognitive weight afforded to gender differences during the formative years so that eventually we have pretty much everywhere a generation that responds to different genders in the same muted, egalitarian manner typical of Scandinavian societies and so forth? Let's stop worrying about gender and ensuring that our kids grow up in a context in which gender is not a major predictive variable of anything, so that their brains learn to ignore it.

I downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog this past weekend. My 3-year-old son was really intrigued as he watched me play. Within a few minutes, he wanted to play. The mechanics of a the game are a little difficult for him, however, the ads made the game almost unplayable for him. "Finding the 'X'" (to exit out of an ad) is now a mini-game within a game.

That said, SEGA got $1.99 out of me really quickly. $2 is a killer deal for sense of nostalgia, let alone a fine video game.

My son was talking about Sonic the Hedgehog at the breakfast table the next morning.

The US was one of the last countries to get Chip + PIN, and even then they messed it up, and got chip + sign.

The implication is that the rise in sea level will make those formerly coastal areas effectively worthless.

Technically, shouldn't. But in AWS' documentation for container roles, they have a note that explicitly suggests implementing a iptables rule (and even provides the iptables command) to prevent access to the instance's metadata.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/t...

That said, this is another of those "more ink should be spilled" moments, since preventing access to the instance metadata is something that you SHOULD do from a security point of view.

This may seem old school but I actually have a printed out spiral bound deck customized to the client that I take to pitches. In addition to the digital presentation.

1. Because our service is expensive and some more old school clients want to hold something in their hand

2. It sits on their desk pretty much forever, keeping the brand in front at all times

But it has the added benefit that even if the power goes out, I would still be able to pitch.

Only an anecdote, but AMP trashes my mobile experience. Using Chrome on Android (so it ought to be good...) it rewrites back-button functionality, so that even after I've changed through 5 different pages, a single 'back' press takes me all the way off the site to Google search results. It also eats a bunch of screen real estate with the AMP bar for longer than the normal address bar.
This was very informative, thanks! I'm a software builder and this isn't my lane, but I might need to learn it soon.
