Firefox has a pretty neat feature I discovered recently:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Contextual_Identity_Projec...

It lets you run multiple sessions in one window, where each tab belongs to a specific session with separated cookies and such.

I've got a bunch of tabs where I'm logged in to Facebook, another set where I'm logged in to Google and the rest of them where I'm not logged in to either. Of course they can still use IP matching to track me, but at least it's something...

> not the primary means of moving around a city

Are private cars the primary means of getting around any city today?

I would have thought it was already totally impossible to 'get around' a city like San Francisco, London or New York by car. Where on earth would you park securely at each stop? I can't imagine ever even attempting to drive into a major city. Maybe if I had a very specific plan of getting to a particular hotel that I knew had a car park with spaces that had enough headroom for my car, etc. But driving into a city to just 'get around' without a plan? Surely that's suicide?

I don't think any of the vehicles in a city are private cars - aren't they almost all taxis and commercial vehicles making deliveries?

A lot of people are never satisfied, and that doesn't make the world a better place.

A lack of satisfaction can also materialize in positive ways that do improve the world. This drive is innately human and is what led us to agriculture, medicine, technology, and to wherever else we're going to go.
I recently had a somewhat tangential conversation with someone, wherein the relationship between order and chaos in the universe (and specifically our case as the human race) is a function of increasing time. Humans attempt to create order from the chaotic environment, not creating more complex things in the process but simply refining what already exists (although there seem to be unavoidable patterns of "order" that recur in the universe regardless of us or any advanced organism).

This certainly fits with the idea that the universe is an attempted "ordering" bubble in a liquid of everything

Suppose only 50% of cars are part of rush hour. Now ride sharing can only cut parking by that same 50%. A less optimistic 75% means you can only cut parking by ~25%. Depending on the city these numbers may be high or low.

However, one passenger ride sharing increases total miles driven. So in ultra congested city's it can actually make things worse.
Well, this is ironic.

Where can I find 128GB RAM cloud Server?
It is very hard and expensive to find a cloud service which can provide 128GB ram.

A public cloud service is more preferable.

Gooster, Facebooks new “off the beaten track” discovery chatbot is now in Beta
The thing about proverbs is that you shouldn't apply them literally. "selling shovels" here means: Instead of taking part in the hype something that is used by hype-seekers to fascilitate their yearning is sold. It's often very likely that there are a lot of different kinds of businesses who profit this way. Sure the exchanges are profiting, the hash-box-producers profit, the VCs profit. In the original sense there were also different businesses profiting from the gold rush. Besides shovels you also had to buy food, other tools, shelter, a claim to a piece of land, etc.

The special thing about Ethereum here is that they act like a participant in the gold rush to some degree. I actually thought they produce coins and try to find a meaningful use for them, just like bitcoin. But in fact they provide an infrastructure for coin producers. That's really interesting, imo. Since no matter how it goes, they will profit from it, and can easily exit any time when they feel the profits are diminishing too much.

Well if you can't afford to purchase some books on the subject (which are helpful in their own rights), then I would suggest spending time looking at Blogs that specialise in the subject and check out Reddit's marketing and entrepreneur subreddits.

You don't need to rehash the marketing pitch of React here. It's the same old "virtual DOM fast, real DOM slow" that I've heard countless times from fanboys and repeated ad infinitum in any discussion about React.

What's missing is that you can make complex web apps without any of these things, or the abstractions used can be something completely different. The reasons you stated just sound like ex-post facto rationalizations of what they did after they built it.

Hi omnimus, thanks for the mention.

Mattermost has a brand new, open source Android client in beta written in React Native used by thousands of testers: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattermost...

It's greatly improved from the original version and official release is this month.

Mattermost mobile notifications aren't a commercial feature, they are just off by default due to privacy (push notifications appear on a mobile device when the device is locked).

Go to System Console > Notifications > Mobile Push > Send Push Notifications to enable.

You can also deploy your own Mattermost Push Notification Server (https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-push-proxy) and compile your own Mattermost Android and iOS apps (https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile) for total control.
I also speak English as a native language, but allow me to try to answer your questions:

> - what utility do you think a language gains from gendered nouns?

Not a whole lot, but a language doesn't gain much utility from English features like mandatory plural agreement or a/an distinction either. Even something like "his/her" and "he/she" distinction isn't necessarily and a lot of non-native speakers of English struggle with it. You can dream up some sentences that are clarified by the distinction, but in a different language you obviously just express the same idea differently.

Ultimately a committee sitting around asking if a feature has utility and should be added is not very close to the way languages actually form.

> how do you know what gender a noun is? I assume there are "themes" that might inform you. But if you're unclear, how do you do find out? Is there a social cost to getting it wrong?

Sure. If a Spanish word ends in a it's probably feminine unless it's of Greek origin. But there is also memorization involved. Getting the wrong gender on an inanimate object is a lot like any other non-native mistake; it's likely someone who is talking to you can figure out what you meant.

Again, having to just memorize some cases is common in languages. How do you know what preposition goes with which verb? It probably seems very natural to you, but there isn't much logical basis for a lot of them. In Spanish you dream "with" someone rather than "of" them. Someone who wants to speak native-sounding English has to spend a lot of time learning the right pairings (as well as stuff like which compound expressions should have the infinitive versus the gerund).

> - how are new genders decided? I'm struggling to think of an example as "laptop" presumably has the same gender as "computer", but it must come up sometimes.

It's not really like a group sits around deciding, but of course there's a lot of precedent with existing words that could inform you which answer is likely. Synonymous words can have different genders, so it's not really like, for instance, computing words are all masculine. In general if a totally new word is borrowed into Spanish it's more likely to be masculine (so, like, el kabuki, el ánime, etc.).

I disagree, at least partially. While it might be hard to get out over something short like a KickStarter campaign, eventually quality always matters more than hype. But it can take a while to get there. We all know cases where the lack of good marketing means a great idea runs out of runway before it has a chance to really get noticed.
Android has no chance of competing in the MIDI/Music field: choosing Java was an ill decision because of the huge latencies its poor performance imposes, which makes any serious Music application plain impossible.

Just no way.

Now that the DOM API is implemented in a standards-compliant way across most browsers...

At Facebook 'most browsers' has a very different meaning compared to other websites. When Facebook deploys code that works for 99.5% of their users that means they're failing ~10,000,000 people. Consequently they have a lot of code to handle the cases where they can't just rely on 'most browsers'. It's entirely valid that they maintain a relatively large library, and pretty awesome that they share it publicly.
But it is easy once you understand :-)

A == non-specific
The == specific

'A dog' could be any old dog.

'The dog' is a specific dog we know.

Thus

A == any
The == thing

Perhaps I'm not clear where with this understanding it would trip you up. Can you think of an example?
Amen. And this is what spikes are for :)

Suppose that parking a car takes about 10 square meters. Then you can easily compute what parking should cost in a certain area. There probably are places where 10 m2 costs around £3,000 per year, but they are relatively rare.

Traditionally having all car owners share all parking space makes sure that when you drive your car somewhere, for example to visit a friend, you can actually park there. If all parking space is privately owned that model tends to break down.

The problem is that to have a functioning city (as opposed to a suburb) you need to have a high enough population density. And you cannot have a high population density if you have to reserve a huge amount of space for cars.

The tricky thing is to design a city (or set policies to move in a certain direction) such that it is not one-size-fits-all. Slowly banning cars slowly from the parts of a city with the highest densities allows people who like to live without cars to move in and people who need a car to move to areas with a lower population density.

The most interesting thing to me about "Facebook's intrusion could have easily been blocked, but plaintiffs chose not to do so," is that it implies that users have a right to block tracking code.

If that isn't already enshrined in case law, hopefully it signals that we will not get laws passed requiring users to allow tracking, and the courts will hopefully invalidate terms and conditions requiring tracking.

Having lived through the rise of DMCA, I live in fear of an emboldened industry getting laws passed that make the use and distribution of blocking software illegal.
