The suggestion that someone not having the money to buy a fancy computer and someone not having the money to buy healthcare are equivalent is an odd way of looking at the world.

Depends on how you define "consent" — others have noted that they need to raise a round within a little over a year, and they may have threatened to poison the well if Kalanick didn't step down.
If you wish to climb the corporate ladder, stick in there when things get crazy. When mad shit is going down, when entire groups are being canned and chaos is reining, then that's when opportunity sometimes presents itself. Sometimes the last man (or woman) standing looks around a little later, when the dust has started to settle, and finds themselves to be the new leader.

For my edification, could you give an example of such an API in Go?
"Expanding Rights under the “Retaliation” Provision of Title VII. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (the “Act”) prohibits an employer from retaliating against an employee who has “made a charge, testified, assisted or participated in” any charge of unlawful discrimination under the Act."

http://www.sgrlaw.com/ttl-articles/826/

Words are defined by how people use them, and this fits the common usage of the word illegal.

Nobody cares what pedantic definition a lawyer would use to describe this, because nobody made lawyers the language police.

Is it me, or does this read like a disaster in the making?
From the civil rights act of 1964:

"Expanding Rights under the “Retaliation” Provision of Title VII. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (the “Act”) prohibits an employer from retaliating against an employee who has “made a charge, testified, assisted or participated in” any charge of unlawful discrimination under the Act."

http://www.sgrlaw.com/ttl-articles/826/

If the civil rights act of 1964 prohibits something, I think that that fits the common definition of "illegal" that a normal person would use.

Maybe a lawyer would use a different word, but who cares, everyone understood what you meant.
What I learned about PM from being a Resident Assistant in college
Sure it does, let the client render the font based on what is best for the given user on the given device.

You're more or less describing DPI scaling, no?
We had the luxury of years of prior experience within the company of building mobile game backends so we had a very good idea of what the access patterns would be. That said, the new product we were building the backend for was filled to the brim with "social" features that presented new scalability and performance concerns.

I was able to justify the existence of a small dedicated backend team by claiming I could deliver 10x the performance at 1/10th the cost of our most popular game's backend. Given that the monthly server costs of that game could be measured in multiple engineer salaries, this proposition was quite attractive. While definitely a bit of hyperbole, we actually ended up hitting those targets when it was all said and done.
3 Qualities of Self-Worth (人贵有三品)
Detailed UI state like scrollbar position usually isn’t interesting in the sense that you would need to directly respond to it, share it, persist it, etc. That’s why you don’t usually include it in your application model.

State being collaborative is precisely the problem. If all the components owned important state, they would need to share it with each other. This gets real complicated very quickly, especially when multiple parts of the app need to change that state.

So the main proposition of Elm is exactly that separate components should not hold important state and whatever that needs to be shared should be centralized and modified in one place. Which sounds like the God Object antipattern, but is not, mainly because you can only change the state indirectly, by sending well-defined messages.

The reason I didn't list it is because there's so many different ways to do it.

The optimization declaration can be made globally, or per-file; declaring the type of the foo function (including parameters & return values) externally will fully cover this function without having anything additional in the body; there's helper macros to explicitly manage static types, etc.

So the type declarations don't need to be intrusive into the expressions themselves, and can be as transparent as you want. Of course, type inference also means that you don't have to specify every single type, while still getting the speed & checking benefit of fully typed code.
1. Within reason, yea pretty much. If we had sane government, I'd be in favor of, say, 10x increases on all types of immigration over the next 10 years.

The VC's who pushed him out are nearly as culpable.

The fact that Uber is right now being led by 14 internal people is insane. The company and board we're developing any viable replacements.

VC's were so worried about jeopardizing what was shaping up to be the second biggest payday in the history of VC., they weren't willing to call bullshit on anything.

VC's had billions riding on the outcome. They weren't going to risk that just because Uber's culture was disgusting.

Only where there was unwanted media and public scrutiny were any real measures taken.

When a company grows quickly, VC's forgive its sins for fear of missing out on that follow-on round, or the next big deal.

VC's have influence when a company is doing poorly.

The fact that pugnacious and aggressive Travis still controlled the board (along with two other founders who always sided with Travis) and did not fight this means Travis got some deal from the investors. The successor would be chosen by him and in a sense his puppet.

Are you being willfully obtuse? They never said that a competitor did make such a claim. They said that it is not impossible that a competitor could have made a claim, so it's not unreasonable for someone to be, a priori, slightly skeptical of it.

Rhetoric doesn't do much good. I appreciate the reply but you may just have well said, "Magic!" ;-)

To be clear, I'm not sure my question even really has an answer. I understand the need to attract top talent. If we don't, they are just going to go to work somewhere else.

At the same time, do we really want to replace local talent with not as talented, but less expensive, people? There are some big implications there and I have seen reasoned arguments to support doing so. It hits very strongly on the concept of what duties the government has to its citizens and to the rest of humanity who are not citizens.

I really don't know. I don't have a solution. I can do your math homework, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to realistically determine the answers to these questions.

I suspect that nobody would listen, even if I did have the answers. Ah well...

All they do make a regression analysis and say that two traders traded on days the market went up.

Instead they simply tell you the average amount the rate increased in days these guys traded.

It's not about zero sum.

It's about supply and demand.

If you supply labor at X skill level, an influx of immigrants at X skill level (but not of Y or Z skill level) will reduce the buying power of your wages.

Taking it to real life - people tend to oppose immigration when they are at X skill level, and support it when they are at Y or Z skill level. It's raw self-interest often dressed up as altruism or principle.

You can see this understanding here whenever H1B is discussed - suddenly supply and demand becomes an obvious economic concept.

It's great to see people like him and others like messersmiths such as Cut Brooklyn, swordsmakers, etc. continue the tradition of hand-made precision[1] products and doing it themselves rather than designing and then farming out the work to others or automating the process.

It is, though, a kind of double edged sword. On the one hand they continue centuries-long traditions, on the other hand they get coöpted by hipsterish connoisseurs who work for companies feverishly contributing to the demise of traditional craft in the name of efficiency and doing things better.

In addition, many of these products are not unnecessarily anachronistic (like say making an electronic device with discrete components and hand made pcbs).

Bravo to these people.

But their conclusions are fair, they don't overreach and call for more study on the matter as any scientist should do.

As mainstream finance invests in cryptocurrency assets and as countries take steps toward legalising Bitcoin as a payment system (as Japan did in April 2017), it is important to understand how susceptible cryptocurrency markets are to manipulation. We encourage the nascent cryptocurrency industry to work with regulators and researchers to share anonymised transaction data so that more confidence can be placed in the veracity of exchange rates.

It is a mystery. I don't think it's some grand thought-out non-poaching agreement, though. I think you have to break it down to domestic politics.

The left wants to maximize multiculturalism. This has become a sort of fundamental value to that tribe (rather than a means to an end), and their fundamental anti-value is racism/xenophobia/intolerance of anyone not white-Christian. So that tribe will resist any hint of an attempt to selectively immigrating people from culturally or racially similar countries, because such immigration actually threatens to reduce multiculturalism, which to them is a fundamentally evil thing. So they'd call it racist.

In addition, even just choosing people for wealth or intelligence or English skills, you'd end up with a big cultural/racial skew towards white people (compared to the world population), so the left would call it racist for the same reasons.

Those on the right might be happy with such immigration, but it's too difficult of an argument to make and it's too easy for the left to call them racists if they suggest anything like it. So as a proxy, they tend to argue for reducing all immigration.

I must be missing a lot of the details but I think it's some sort of political compromise/deadlock like this.

Lisp has been compiled since 1960. Every major Common Lisp implementation is compiled, and some are only compiled; as in, every darn thing you type into the REPL, including (+ 2 2) is converted to native machine code and then branched to: there is no interpreter and hence the eval function compiles, too. That kind of thing was done long before "JIT" was a buzzword.

Macros make a tremendous contribution to readability and comprehension. I'm informed by 17 years of Lisp experience versus your zero.
Default? The two sweetest words in the English language!
It is a benchmark of seconds and the startup of the entire JVM is included in the benchmark? And the Java implementation is still faster? Yeah something is definitely wrong with your implementation then.

Since it's a benchmark about an algorithm why is the JVM startup time even included in the first place?

Okay, I'm not taking the piss - let me ask you an honest question.

10 years of 10x immigration would be 100,000,000 people, so about 11 cities the size of New York of 100% new immigrants. Such masses could not possibly assimilate to any significant degree; they'd obviously form huge enclaves.

Presumably you'd want to live amongst them, and you would not preferentially move to a neighborhood of people with your culture and upbringing and language. Fair enough.

My question is, instead of bringing them to America, why don't you just go to them? You could move to Brazil. Or India. These places are incredibly diverse. You could do it this year and you'd have your desired result immediately.

You're obviously not attached to anything about American people or culture, so what keeps you here?

Pretty amazing. Looking at their numbers...

39 million requests X 2.39 seconds per request = 93.21 million seconds of compute time performed each month. That works out at 2.95 years of computation for $370.

Although he mentioned that about half the traffic comes from cached results. So maybe it is more like 1.5 years of actual new computing each month. Compare the $370 against the AWS cost of running a VM for 1.5 years to do the same workload and I think your saving a lot of money.
