Go has far more in common with Java than it does with python. Arcane APIs that are incredibly difficult to use correctly while having a very simple base language.
According to the article that was a calculation made during interview.

The conclusion is Tesla uses much larger batteries than needed for typical usage. You're driving back and forth to work, not across the country. Emissions grow linearly with battery size. The result is excessive but unnecessary pollution.

Your range anxiety is bad for co2 emissions. If you're not just signalling and actually care about co2 emissions, you choose a car with smaller batteries.
That's exactly my point! That and the fact that lawmakers are too weak willed (or have too little leverage) to take a stand against stuff like this is why big businesses are able to get away with this blatantly unethical behavior. Anyway, my example was an already-failed business for a reason!

"Best" review I ever saw (on a book):

3 stars

"I haven't read it yet but looks interesting. I'll try to get to it this summer."

This was the worst review of the book.
Thanks for confirming no plans. I've lost track of the number who have promised it for years and never delivered. This looks like a nice app for iPhones, but its not useful for serious iPad work.

In case you revisit this decision in the future, using the extra space isn't the issue. The "improvements" I'd be looking for on iPads would be much more mundane: support for the basic stuff like using the iPad keyboard, supporting split screen and landscape orientation, and text quality that doesn't look like it's from pre-retina days.

Agreed. The great irony of all this is that a more palatable group of people running the company are more likely to take it further and thus do more damage to society, building an even more enormous and dependent economy of drivers they already intend to fire.

Yeah, I always got annoyed when the media kept referring to Glass as "AR", when in reality it was mostly just a quick way to get notifications and such without pulling your phone out of your pocket. If Glass counts as AR, so does my smartwatch.
How do you stop the cloud provider from accessing ram or cpu cache. At some point the data has to be decrypted for it to be used. And if decrypted on Amazon equipment, then Amazon could in theory gain access to it.

let's wait and see what the q2 numbers look like before we start declaring the patient dead.

The (for some reason) publicly reported q1 losses of 700m, were (was?) ~33% better than q4 2016 (1b). if the (presumably) publicly reported q2 numbers are in the neighborhood of 500m, you'd be looking at real growth.

Quarter ends in 2 weeks and the q1 numbers were (for some reason) released right when q1 ended, so maybe we don't have to wait too long.

I think I've actually seen that, long ago, but I didn't recall it until you mentioned it (and still can only vaguely remember it). As I alluded to in my prior comment, the idea that the AI we create will be our equals, friends and comrades has plenty of precedent and fiction of its own. I in no way claim ownership or mean to imply it's an entirely original thought. ;) That said, thanks for the reminder. I had completely forgotten about the Animatrix (which IIRC is what you are referring to).

What understanding of your access patterns did you have before you decided to engineer the system that you did? Also, I'm curious about developer costs vs compute costs. How much would have been paying for a less developed but less efficient solution?

The point I was trying to get across is that the creators seem to have become intoxicated on their own fumes. That use is a crazy small niche, and if you really wanted to blow money on eye catching displays, there are any number of more creative and engaging ways to do so.

Its amazing how many times Net 30 turns into Net 120 when dealing with a larger company. I noticed (in the 90s when I cared about such things) that companies that paid from banks at the end of the chain (like, oh say, a Montana bank) were more likely to pull that crud.
"having an iPhone is a status symbol"?

Maybe. There are also a couple lawsuits in the mix, and the harassment issue was a lot more than just press.
Yeah, but what I don't get about this, is that building that tech (if it's just a map and pin tracking your friends) is not hard. And certainly wouldn't be hard for Snap.

I can't see how 2 million users are worth it either. It really isn't even that many anyways because I'm sure many were already snap users)

Unless it's because they really wanted to do Snap map and are basically paying to have a fast implementation and have that many people with it enabled from day one.

If you really need the backtracking features in those other systems, the point is "never".

Similarly, if you have short-lived regexes that are compiled, used for a small amount of data, and discarded, you might never see a performance benefit.

Multiple regexes, scanning a substantial amount of data and/or having a requirement to 'stream' (i.e. process successive writes of input data when you can't hold on to old data) are the sort of things that make Hyperscan use more sensible. We see a lot of use in network security where these assumptions all generally hold.

I tried GG when I was working for Google at some event where the team came to your building and let interested people try it. I was quite enthusiastic about it before trying it, but actually using it for 5 minutes really turned me off. I think that this might be because I don't normally wear glasses. I found looking slightly askew to focus on the presented info was awkward for me (eg, maybe it was natural to somebody who wears bifocals). I also found the weight a bit unnatural.

To me, Android Wear was a much better fit for what I wanted from GG. Eg, notifications, navigations, music controls, email/text without having to pull out (and unlock) my phone. (and I hadn't worn a watch for 15-20 years before getting my first Android Wear device).

To this day, I can remember how to build a 1.2.X kernel. You were also very lucky if you had a soundblaster card, because only a handful of sound drivers that were in the kernel.

Let it crash (the right way)
No, I don't expect most users would care. Most users wouldn't care if sites could execute native code as root on their machine. I think, if there was a prompt, content providers that cared, even a little bit, about presentation would think real hard before introduction that prompt. The way it works now, providers very rarely think twice about adding it. And I think ad networks, trackers and all the other useless, JS based, user hostile tools of the web, would have a much harder time convincing site owners to drop in a snippet of JS when there were actual consequences for doing so.

However, I don't believe for a second, without some kind of law, punishable by death, a requirement like that would have lasted. It would take only one browser to default "Never prompt for permissions to run JavaScript". Typical users would flock to it (because sites would say they only work with it) and compliant browsers would have to copy to compete. Users ruin everything.

Right now the person uploading the thread needs to be using gmail or a Google Apps account. We started there because there are 1.1 billion daily active users, but in the future it will work with other email service providers.

Being able to use DKIM and SPF to authenticate threads is part of our value proposition, and a key part of the value proposition of email in general. (For example, being able to prove that you agreed on X project requirements with a certain person on a certain date.) Doing this type of authentication requires every message in a thread, not just the last one, so the most pragmatic way to meet this requirement is to work with email service providers with available APIs. The alternative is storing the entire contents of your inbox, but this doesn't make sense until we're ready to roll out our enterprise offering.

To get around the IAM issue we deployed the lambda's with a naming convention like:

prod_lambda_name
staging_lambda_name
dev_lambda_name

Then the IAM's are written with resource access to prod_* staging_* etc.

It allows to give full permissions to the developer to create dev ones, modify the other ones, but the prod_ are all controlled by a smaller group of people.

It's a bit hacky but it works well enough.

Would be nicer to grant access by stages.

It appears the extension would like to read and change the data on any website I visit. I assume users are the product here, so this appears somewhat sketchy since I'm not sure what personal data of mine is being sold.
On the other hand, it allows for a clear, concise counterpoint to be upvoted and seen fairly quickly by those that shared that view, so they may see something to change their mind prior to expressing similar views.

Extraordinary evidence such as basically every C level executive being ousted?

Extraordinary evidence, such as the company itself doing a thorough investigation, finding lots of problems, and then publishing those problems?

Uber itself has shouted to the world that the problems existed, and that they are working to fix them.

I am not sure what other kind of evidence you could get, that is better than the company itself saying that there is a problem.

Nothing personal, but we don't need you here as much as you've been led to believe we do. H1B is white collar union busting, making Americans who have invested deeply in their skill set and education accept less compensation than they were promised when they took those student loans.
I find this interesting to use even with common web applications as a design pattern. It's usually easy to just dispatch events but parsing them is always complicated and if you need to do that in all clients youre essentially decoupling the logic. If you can provide already parsed state you are providing the view into that data.
I asked for a citation for your claim and all you've done it present a theory with no evidence to back it up.

Also, Amazon is free to use Google Services providing their devices pass the CTS. In fact, their rumored Ice phones will use GMS.
I understand why Apple generally has this policy, because it's easy to move from having an App-price to purchasing "something" in the app where they no longer get their cut.

However it's equally frustrating in areas where it's very clearly not realistic, like the purchase of things like ebooks, etc. Some of which are even worse of a conflict since Apple has similar businesses and 30% is just too large a cut for most services where you're not the end retailer, e.g. an ebook/audiobook store.

Having said all of that, I don't have a good solution to weigh up those two things.
The more I think about this, the more I respect the moves they're making, even as I agree with you that they're evil.

In fact, this is a brilliant pattern: start by winning with shitty, extortionate tactics. When everyone eventually, inevitably hates you, fix the image problem by replacing leadership with a more optically-appropriate team. Continue as before.

And why not? Do investors care who is ostensibly in charge, as long as the wheel keeps turning? They do not. Employees love that action has been taken, voices have been heard, wrongs have been righted. Plus, now they don't work for just another bunch of white dudes like everywhere else in tech. Press is all about it, of course.

It's smart!

> Their dynamic-ness brings overhead that is not justified unless you're doing crazy macro stuff, and ad-hoc crazy macro stuff is not easy to put into code without hurting readability and comprehension.

I think that is today's major barrier to Lisp, but not in the way you think.

Most of Lisp's inventive features have crept into other languages by now, except for the in-language compile-time code transformation/generation (ie macros & homoiconicity).

The major phrase I want to point out is "crazy macro stuff". To people from other programming languages, code generation and metaprogramming are way out there concepts, only suitable for insane scenarios. People said the same thing about functional programming, yet any well-seasoned programmer today has a reasonable handle on its usefulness and advantages, and FP style is now used by programmers in many languages to contain complexity.

Lisp-style macro programming is a simple way to do metaprogramming, while in other languages it's an impedance-mismatch-riddled nightmare of separate wonky build steps. Once it is made simple, it's easy to add great conveniences, compile-time optimizations, and architectural support to your programming, with almost no-brainer effort.

It is also much easier to human-parse Lisp code which utilizes a good per-project macro library, than it is to parse other languages with boilerplate and sprawling behavioral dependencies injected all over their usage scenarios.

The catch-22 is that this style of super-easy metaprogramming is linked to code-is-data-is-code homoiconicity, and people still reject that at face value, which slows the propagation of metaprogramming (however, I think there is a continually slow-rising acceptance). Functional programming doesn't require any unique syntax, just semantics, so it was able to spread without that barrier.
Sure, but is the company going to implode from this? I wouldn't think so. They are already massive and seem to be just cleaning house at the top to try and shed their lawbreaking image, and now move into phase two: become legitimate and grow even further while being more mindful and cooperative with city regulations, where it benefits them.
Of course! I thought you were alluding to these ideas. And you could either come up to these conclusions by your own or through any other material.

I hope my comment didn't look like I was calling you out about these ideas. I was just excited at this coincidence and wanted to share it. They went completely unnoticed to me from watching just the movies. Makes them even better (including the sequels :P).
