Really cool summary of the power of such libs like redux-saga.

I indeed prefer using sagas than observables, maybe because of the cool 'select', 'put' and 'call' apis that helps me to do smart hook methods. With a good combination with such normalizr lib (https://github.com/paularmstrong/normalizr), you can actually fast implement a light optimist transactions system between frontend and backend.

For instance, you can define a REQUEST_PUT_ENTITIES action, and a saga watching on it.
This saga will do:
- a 'call' for calling the api post method for updating the backend (ie updating all the collections through your backend database apis)
- get back from the api the put data, and into the saga you then 'put' a MERGE_INTO_ENTITIES action, in order to direclty update and normalize your frontend entities app state.
- once your app state is synchronised, your saga can even 'select' again these put entities thanks to their ids and you can 'put' a nice REQUEST_PUT_ENTITIES_SUCCESS action from which you can hook any kind of specific-to-the-app post-synchronized methods.

So, for me redux-saga with a bit of wrapping is like a light solution for doing what we all are searching actually in such heavy libs like Relay or react-appollo (but here I am talking for a quick solution with a 'stupid-like REST approach'...so maybe not optimized for sure)

I don't know what do you think guys...

Rebol/Red's VID (Visual Interface Dialect) is a DSL which did achieve it's objective - http://rebol.com/docs/easy-vid.html

And another success is the Parse dialect which I use daily and comes baked-in with Rebol / Red - http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-15.html

Rebol / Red is an excellent language for creating DSL's (Dialects) and there are plenty of examples in the wild (I've seen Rebol dialects for creating PDF's, Excel spreadsheets, Scheduling tasks, etc)
You may know much more about this than me.

Is Enterprise Value too simple a calculation to compare the companies? (you seem to be looking at the entire balance sheet, not just cash/debt)

Certainly GM could issue stock tomorrow to increase their market cap to be more than Tesla's?

Market cap just seems a bit arbitrary of a metric (as it doesn't take into account cap structure) when you're comparing the value of the digital economy and digital monopolies, etc (as the article does).
This logic falls down:

1. If the police catch every child sex trafficker selling on Backpage, then there won't be anymore posting to Backpage. The ones left will either get more savvy, or already more savvy and weren't using Backpage.

2. If they don't catch a large enough percentage of the traffickers, then the ease and reach/audience that Backpage provides will still entice people to use it.

Sure, you can use it while it exists (to find and catch traffickers), but it either won't exist for long, or continuing to operate will still allow some amount of trafficking to successfully happen.
No sympathy here. If anyone relies on a free service, they must anticipate said service changing terms or functionality at any point in time, or even disappearing completely. It's unfortunate it affects many users who had no say in the choice of the infrastructure (say, many of those stamp bulletin board members), but that's how it goes. It's silly to use a free-of-charge service as infrastructure.

Besides, if I am reading correctly, and there is in fact no data lost, calling it "ransom" is just ridiculous - nothing is being hold ransom here.
Should not cops, like, read this website too and do a raid everybody they seen someone offer themself nearby while looking teenage?

The major problem in our society is that police and detectives cost us a lot of money but basically do nothing.
The only thing really saving us is that people of XXI century are unbelievably benign.

Arizona Secretary  Reagan denies Trump commission’s request for voter data
Tesla is worth more than GM largely due to speculation that Tesla will be able to ramp up revenues, margins and cash flows unbelievably quickly and expand far beyond a car company. Whether or not they have any chance of doing this is unknown, but the market is a huge fan of Elon Musk given his history of delivering innovation.

Historically, betting on immense multiples of revenue and earnings on negative cash flow companies has not worked out on average, but Tesla may not be average.

Regardless, I wouldnt invest in either company. Autos have historically been a terrible investment due to large capital requirements, low margins, a cyclical operating cycle, ugly pension requirements, and fairly expensive labor... We shall see what the future brings.
To be fair you've left out the thing they seem frustrated about "you gave ZERO notice"

That's why artificially differentiated steps are critical. If the "deploy to test" procedure looks exactly like the "deploy to prod" procedure, except with different servers, then you're asking for human error.

Ensure the test deploy procedure will always fail if run against prod targets when half-asleep. Whether it's something like requiring a different config setting or a reload or an account switch. Anything that breaks the process-as-usual.
I would be quite technical.
I have a bare bones setup that does not satisfy all my needs.
BUT!
This is because I constantly have to weigh up the time and cost to implement and set up each piece of tech.
Time and money that is being taken away from sales and marketing activities.
I would suggest that non tech people are making similar choices.
Ah, well in that case 3000 GBP/year doesn't sound that unusual to me. I bet lots of cities have prices that high in their CBD/downtown area.

> If you want to have a car (or otherwise rely on cars) it is an extremely bad idea to rely on a privately owned parking supplier who can set prices at any amount.

"If you need to eat, it is an extremely bad idea to rely on a privately owned food supplier who can set prices at any amount."

Okay, maybe that can work if

> And then of course, it is best to just pay that as property tax.

Wait what? Why? That space is valuable, if the cost to the end user at the point of the transaction is zero then you're making people who walk/bike/bus subsidize people who drive, which means the poor subsidizing the affluent, not to mention it'll get overused. Why would you want to do that?

Cars should be optional things, and if the government subsidizes them people will tend to drive everywhere and push for vast swathes of parking everywhere (see: almost every city in the US) which hurts every other form of transportation.
> And then of course, it is best to just pay that as property tax.

This is where you lose me. It is better for the government to charge per use so that people have the incentive to use parking space efficiently. Making the parking free at the point of use just encourages overuse.
Nothing to see here. The only thing the author actually says about Tesla is that they collect a lot of data from their cars. The only thing he indicates that may be useful for is self driving. Most of the text is just rambling about how awesome tech companies are and he obviously he doesn't consider GM or anyone in the auto industry to be a tech company either.

Really almost a content-free piece with respect to the headline.
> under the current system law enforcement are usually more dangerous to the workers than anybody else :(

The system forces them underground and to take more risks, but I'm pretty sure that the cops aren't usually the ones abusing them (though this obviously depends on locality, I guess).

I guess TLA is supposed to expand to "three-letter acronym", meaning that it does not stand for any specific buzzword technology, but the whole buzzword-powered innovation cycle itself.
Could you talk about which services came before? Photobucket is the oldest one I can recall. Except maybe Flickr, which hasn't done this.
> Certainly GM could issue stock tomorrow to increase their market cap to be more than Tesla's?

That's not how it works. GM issuing shares tomorrow to raise cash, would not inherently boost the market cap. In fact, more likely given the context, shareholders would punish GM and push their valuation down. Shareholders would be spooked by such a move, they'd regard it as a bad sign for GM's operating picture. TSLA & GM are not being treated the same, or valued on the same basis. It's almost identical to the Walmart vs Amazon scenario in that sense.

Cash is essentially never valued at a $1 to $1 basis in terms of representation in the market cap. It's discounted, as for numerous reasons it's not (and shouldn't be) worth 1 to 1 in practical terms.

Debt is also frequently treated very differently from one company to another depending on the context. Comcast for example, has negative $59 billion in net tangible assets, and a mere $4 billion in cash (and most of their 'assets' are goodwill & intangibles); they have a terrible balance sheet. Yet their market cap is $181 billion, to go with $8 billion in net income. Shareholders, for various reasons, are giving Comcast a very sizable multiple and mostly ignoring the balance sheet (ie they don't regard it as a serious threat). GM has a vastly superior balance sheet, six times the cash, routinely ~50% higher quarterly net income, and yet is worth 1/3 what Comcast is.
What is interesting, neither Lithuanian, nor Latvian has neuter gender. While slavic languages, like Russian or Polish, do have. To be fair, old Prussian seem to have had neuter gender. But given Germanic influence, they likely adapted in later days. It'd be weird if IE had developed 3rd gender, then Baltic languages dropped it while other languages around them did keep it.

Got any links or literature on how that evolved according to the new school?

If by randomizing you mean random strings (and not from a list), then I think this is relevant:

* a simple life is cheaper now (you have Medicare, don't have to own a house[renting is far cheaper than buying which was not always the case], internet provides endless entertainment for cheap, goods are cheap, food is cheap, etc)

* More opportunities from technology and information services in low capital business

* There's a self perpetuating cycle: the energy drink entrepreneur is more likely to use an independent solo lawyer who operates with just a laptop and co-working seat, whereas if he remained at Big Corp, they'd be using Big Old Prestigious Law Firm With High Overhead.

* The Risk Metrics are more favorable. When the 9-5 offered you basically a 30 year tenure and a pension at the end, it's a lot loonier to walk away from that.

The key here though is living a simpler life. If you want that big consumer lifestyle with a big mortgage and two German cars in the garage you will probably be at Big Corp. But even the rich entrepreneurs I know don't have this lifestyle, they live in a rental and pile all their capital into the business since they have to grow aggressively to defend from competition.

The hilarious thing is, Intel probably still has enough top talent to compete in an open ISA market, and they still have some edge in process technology. Then again, AMD can probably beat them in the medium to long run.

If they want to tend to these markets, they are going to have to give up on being the single source.
It was absolutely at the top of the company.

See the photo caption: "In court: (from left) Carl Ferrer, James Larkin, Andrew Padilla and Michael Lacey are sworn-in prior to testifying before the Senate earlier this year. Photograph: Cliff Owen/AP" -- these people knew Backpage was being used to traffic children to be raped, and they fought in court to be allowed to continue to do so.

Easy workaround: don't censor anything but set up an automated tip generator to the authorities if certain keywords are present in the ad.

I had a file upload service for a while (files.ww.com) and in spite of the very clearly worded warning pedophiles would attempt to use the service and a couple of them (and their buddies) found themselves in more trouble than they ever wished they had. I still got sick of it though and shut the whole thing down but it worked just dandy as a honeypot. The guy at the Dutch vice squad that was my contact died, I'm full of respect for people that will step into this junk to combat it, that can't be easy on the senses. He was called in to deal with the case of a childcare center in Amsterdam where a bunch of sub-humans had been abusing children as young as 19 days old (I wish I was making that up) to make videos in order to sell online.

A quick fix, but having many of these can make code much harder to read since you will need to trace through the various aliases to find the actual implementation.
This is also a very narrow view of "disability", there are many reasons why someone may not be willing or able to ride a bike, not all of them are met by suggesting that those people should use a hand cycle or electric wheelchair.

Randomly selected from a pool of known UA.
There's a huuuuge difference between escaping poverty and avoiding poverty.

70% of Americans who are born poor will die poor. I can't find solid number for how many non-poor Americans will become poor, but given that the poverty rate is about 15%, and 70% of that 15% was born into poverty, we can straightforwardly estimate that about 6% of non-poor Americans become poor.

In other words, the chances of any random poor American escaping poverty are about 30%, while the chances of any random non-poor American avoiding poverty are about 94%.

With 94% of non-poor Americans avoiding poverty, saying that 98% of Americans who do X, Y, and Z escape or avoid poverty is not terribly compelling.

I'm sure that obtaining and maintaining full-time employment really helps people escape from poverty. My point is just that this is not really useful to say, because it's fairly obvious, and because the difficult part is having jobs for poor people to work. Saying that we should help poor people escape poverty by ensuring they can work full-time jobs is like saying we should help put people on the moon by giving them altitude. Yes, it's true, but not really helpful advice.

So much social policy already revolves around jobs that I just don't see why you act like this is some revolutionary idea. The question is not whether we should help poor people work. The question is how.

When a low level manager institutes a policy to tell child rapists not to use the term "amber alert" in ads that's a really bad thing.

When the owners of the company approve that policy, and spend years in repeated court cases to defend the ads, claiming that they're powerless to stop the ads and even if they weren't powerless to stop the ads they don't need to because that's the law: that's a completely different level if evil.
I agree, the zero notice and high price is very cheeky... I imagine if gmail pulled the same stunt I'd be pretty pissed. But I wouldn't consider that using a free service for 10 years makes me entitled to anything
No "unused" does not automatically imply "overbuilt." There are many companies such as Lightower that build a network of "route miles" with the sole intention of leasing fiber. This is not the same thing as selling excess capacity because of a miscalculation.

"We made all of your ebay listings worthless, give us $399 to put them back as they were" with zero notice upfront sure sounds like a ransom to me.

Although I'm totally with you on the part about not building a business around someone else's free service, this does seem somewhat unreasonable on PhotoBucket's part.

How does a user defend against this, without resorting to a nuclear option like Tor?
How about "This person was accused. Let's at least take the accusation seriously instead of dismissing it out of hand."

The consequences of making a public accusation like this are generally negative for the accuser as much as or more than the person accused. Often even if the accusations result in a conviction in a court of law. Often even true accusations do not result in convictions. Sometimes even accusations of actual physical rape of an unconscious woman, accompanied by video evidence.

Meanwhile the accuser's life gets turned upside down. They're demonized. Their every past relationship is scrutinized. They're accused of "asking for it" and not taking necessary precautions. Their reputation is dragged through the mud. Their career ends because they're deemed a troublemaker and nobody wants to alienate the boys club, nor work with someone who might have the audacity to call out colleagues or superiors on their misbehavior.

The person they accused is defended and excused as being drunk or, well, "boys will be boys".

So, yeah, every now and then someone makes a false accusation.

By for every true accusation there are typically many more victims who were too afraid of the consequences of speaking up.
"quality" is subjective.

Why should I "support the idea" of role models when I see no value in it? Isn't the burden of proof on the user? Where is the "argument" that role models are a valid thing worthy of authority?

The issue here isn't that PhotoBucket are charging to host images. It's the no-notice change and the size of the charge.

Effectively they've knocked people off Ebay telling them that they can keep their sales for a one-off payment of £300.

If they'd given them two weeks notice then people could have evaluated the cost and decided if £300/year was a reasonable amount to pay, or if they should migrate elsewhere.

Doing it like this basically forces some people to pay up instantly. That's not fair dealing, that's rather more mafia-like.
of course it's not required.

it's a big component of goodwill, however.
@adventured

But certainly if the GM entity had $10B more cash tomorrow, it might not be worth $10B more, but certainly it would be worth $5-$10B more (or at the very least >0 more)?

And of course, they could use that $10B to pay off $10B of their existing debt as well.

All I'm trying to say is that you probably shouldn't compare market caps of companies with vastly different capitalization structures to try and deduce a bigger picture idea of the economy. You should look at enterprise value.

It would be fairly simple to just publish some scripts that extract the font from your system. The 8x8 font is at F000:FA6Eh, and I think you can call interrupts to find the location of the others (it changes depending on the system). Then just dump that to a file and process those to whatever font format you want.

I remember having a TSR that would let you change the DOS font to a few different options, it always looked cool and impressed my friends. I think it did a few other weird things like cycle the keyboard LEDs (caps, scroll, num lock) in patterns.

I understand the problem is basically understaffing. You don't have enough workforce to spend the time tracking these people down then actually doing something about it. It's the reason burglaries and bank robberies go unsolved until you have multiple occurrences and enough people see footage on the news.
This isn't about stopping sex work. This is pretty much centred on stopping child rapists kidnapping and selling children to be raped by other men, using a variety of codewords to communicate that these are children being sold.

There were tens of thousands of children involved here.
