I feel like your pricing is too low, and you needed to be closer to Audible prices.

I feel like your marketing plan relied on too many perfect things to happen. You should also consider that the more you exploit a specific marketing channel, the less it tends to work. I think it's a tough sell to convince investors to put money into something that will only get you to your targets if your conversion and share rates improve.
When I was a kid, getting access to maps and globes was like a revelation. Now look at us, spinning something the size of the earth in web page. If you like looking at things from this orientation, give the celestiaproject.net a try.
To your first point:

While there are definitely valid concerns with just how much energy we spend maintaining the bitcoin network and the blockchain, it's hard to call it wasted and it's definitely not busy work.

The energy we spend doing all the mathematical problems behind proof-of-work can be seen as an investment. In the blockchain there is a mathematically certain record of all transactions that have happened since 2008. While that may not sound all that impressive think of it like this: if a single entity was responsible for building that ledger, it would have taken less "energy", but that entity would have to be trusted by every participant transacting.

With the mathematical underpinnings of proof-of-work, we are instead spending energy to create that trust model inside the currency (network+blockchain) itself. Not busy-work.

Think of it like adding microchips to paper money for counterfeit detection. That is materials and energy spent creating a more trustworthy system.

There are certainly alternatives to the BTC proof-of-work that might make for a more efficient protocol, and they might win out in the end. That should be explored. But BTC mining has value.
It wasn't 26 people being surveilled, it was many people (hundreds or thousands) being surveilled in an attempt to track the 26 individuals.

You'll actually have a very difficult time finding a modern lossy encoder at sane settings that will produce anything worse than what's achievable with a vinyl record. Because modern oversampling D/A converters are also very good, very abundant and very inexpensive, you'll have a similarly difficult time finding a digital playback system that's more poorly-equipped at the task than a purely-analog playback system.

From a purely technical perspective I'll pick a typical lossy file over vinyl every single time.
Do 20 pages of a book gives you 90% of its words?
You are dead on. We do have a bug where we are not recovering the Oracle connectivity correctly. It is on our radar to address the issue. https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/caseflow-m...

However, There is actually another 50% of the story that I never posted. VACOLS is a really old Oracle DB (from the 80s) that is out of our control. Somehow, it has a "feature" where you can only make one TCP connection to it every 2-3 second. So if we lose connection to the database, it will take many seconds to recover. At that point, our ELB health-check would've fired and restarted our EC2 instances. This is why recoverability of the database connection is not an immediate priority.

Here's how we preallocate the VACOLS connection pool to workaround this throttling feature.

The infrastructure we operate in are very challenging (and interesting) because of legacy systems. That's why common sense engineering often may not apply in USDS.

I probably would've started at the TCP layer only because I've been bitten at that layer many times and it always has these sorts of strange symptoms. Some examples:

1) Connections hanging over a frame relay network that one day started dropping packets over a certain size. Work-around was adjusting the MTU until I was able to convince the frame relay network operator that something was broken in their network. Initially it was confusing because an interactive telnet session over the network would work fine till you did something like "ls -l" or tried to read a man page which generated enough text to send a full size packet, then the connection would hang.

2) Unable to reach a Verizon e-mail paging gateway but only when connecting from a Linux box. An OS X box on the same network as the Linux box could reach the gateway fine. Turned out Verizon had a firewall rejecting connections where the ECN bit was set. Linux was setting ECN, OS X was not.

3) Solaris box A could initiate a connection to box B, but not the other way. After A talked to B, B could then talk to A, but only for a short period. Someone had deleted A's own MAC from A's ARP table, so A wasn't replying to ARP requests for itself. But if A connected to B, B would keep A's MAC in its own table till it timed out after which B couldn't initiate connection to A any more.

4) All manner of misconfigurations over the years where you learn to recognize the symptoms: misconfigured netmask size; misconfigured duplex; duplicate IP address on same network. You rarely see these any more.

5) The infamous 500-mile e-mail. :-)

I am not aware of any 15nm NAND made by any Chinese companies, correct me if I am wrong.

The parents was right in regards to NAND and Fabs. At least in the next 2 - 4 years time frame. The plan for China, at least up to last year was to bump tens of billions of tax dollar and incentives, along with billions of investment from private sector ( Which isn't really private, but lets not go on with that for now ) to builds Fabs. Since China is now officially the largest Smartphone and electronics market, they want to source more components from domestic market rather then relying on foreign companies. In hope to build an Semi Con Industry that rivals Korea Japan and even US. Hence you see investment into SMIC, and a lot of people were poached from TSMC, Global F and Samsung.

In a typical fashion of Chinese Race to the bottom, they could sell the NAND at BOM cost and gain market shares. I am sceptical whether this works for NAND or Fabs in general. 3D NAND from other companies should have both quality and cost / GB advantage.

Building a web framework is one of those things everyone seems to try. Along with writing a CMS and/or message board.

I have no issue with the NIH mentality here just so long as the developers are realistic enough to accept that their pet project might not amount to anything significant in the wider community.
True. There's also issues with volume and with analog to digital conversions. But even still, almost any cd is better than it's analog equivalent in just about every measure.

This seems weird and premature. We will probably need a "Space Corps" eventually, but doing it now when the technology is still in its infancy, instead of being able to leverage the manpower of an existing service, seems unhelpful. Making the Air Force its own thing, instead of part of the Army, was a good decision in 1945 but would've been dumb in 1912 too.
I think it depends on the ccTLD. I've never heard of that happening, but I'm sure it could.
> Programmers seem to fall into two camps. Those that need to know details to understand a method and those that need to know the contract to understand a method.

This is an interesting observation. I seem to fall into the former category, but I'm not sure if that's a side effect of working with proprietary codebases that have less than stellar interfaces.

When stuff ultimately goes sideways, I value being able to relatively quickly reason about the flow without firing up a debugger. Information hiding cuts both ways.
Yeah, I am having a hard time with the article's black and white distinction of "type A" brute-force chess solvers and "type B" humanlike intelligent engines.

To say that Deep Blue beat Kasparov with nothing but brute-force speed is to neglect the rather intelligent decisions it made, ascribing different weights to pieces in potential sacrifices, positions, development of pieces, control of the center, initiative, and all the other values that a human player uses to play chess.
"NYC to Paris and back: $260" is only one fewer letter but I feel it reads more clearly and you don't need to include the "and back" in other lines of the message to get the point across you're comparing RT to RT.
While true (also, all the other flights on the list right now are US<->Not US), in GP's defense the context may not have been clear.

If a fellow Angeleno asks me what I did over the weekend, I could say "I went to Venice" and my meaning (Venice, the neighborhood in LA) would be clear. Not necessarily so to someone from Chicago, or even from elsewhere in California.

Having said that, a flag icon next to the city name to represent the city's country would be cute but also informational.
As a product designer, I'm ready for new sub structures to create with. It seems like a lot of you have moved on, but I've been stuck on a certain platform.

I want my applications to live, to live wherever they want to. I want my GUI to transition from the Desktop and onto your phone in realtime. I want my children to pinch and zoom until it appears in a screen or hologram in the air and they can show me what they're looking at. Allow the app to work how you want it too, when you feel like using it that way.

When my daughter builds something in Minecraft, "hey dad, look I created a mail system between my house and my friends with carts" I look up and touch one of the blocks, "there, you forgot that one".

"thanks dad!"

So, let's use ARM ... let's use something, and build the standard on which a new API can be laid. We can agree on an ABI and then applications can get better while the highway finally is out of continual construction zones everywhere. Make a smooth highway and then next level of reality can be created which connections between things that we want and we control.

I thought as the shop owner. Where would I buy things for cheap. Alibaba was my first thought. Went there and searched for the ball... bingo!

Now I am hot on the trail of unraveling the entire mystery...

What I am now doing is to think like the person who designed it. The more I can be in their shoes the better. This has led me to find the discrepancies from the original ball and this one (the knockoff). I have focused on what is different between the two.
So far it is Y. V. and U which has led me to look for clip art that is similar between them.
I am not of the belief that it is an axe (yxa)until it is proven.
My first search was the other products from the company to see if it was used other places/products to no avail.
Now I am finding the clip art in alphabet sets and flashcards.
The more that are similar will lead to the answer(s).

I found only one u-boat flashcard http://www.picturesof.net/_images_300/U_Is_For_U_Boat_Alphab... but now do not think that is the actual image.

Now looking for clipart that has V is for volcano. Found a few and now looking for axes etc but...

My current theory is that it is NOT an ax or yxa but paint for Yellow like the second post shows.
My photoshop skills are not great but I think it is a combination from this image http://clipground.com/image-post/90353-red-color-tube-clipar... or this image http://clipground.com/image-post/90353-red-color-tube-clipar... (I also think that it does not have to be originally yellow as that is a simple change to do in photoshop so the other colors can work) The caps in this picture are very close as are the paint threads and my guess is that they can be overlaid with near perfection if my photoshop skills allowed.
I was led to this site because of the image for U-boat is here on the same site

The invisible hand of the market. In 100 years, if bitcoin transactions are still of value, then miners and people making transactions will come to an agreed upon transaction fee that will be suitable for both parties. And If miners drop out, transaction fees will go up.
Heat rises, so during the summer months when you sleep, if you have not got air con would a 2nd best be to circulate cold water around, seeing as water takes 10x the amount of energy to heat up? Maybe thats what is going on.
Actually, I think they should go the opposite way: they should eliminate the Air Force, and make it part of the Army again. The AF was split off because of the Cold War, and is just a relic of that time. No other modern military force has a separate "air force", because having it separate only complicates things when conducting a conventional ground war. For a while the Air Force even thought they were going to make the Navy obsolete, because they wanted to rely on ICBMs and long-range bombers for everything.
> That might be, but it might not be in the future and meanwhile I'd be weary of drive-by downloads and virus infected warez.

Honestly, I'd call it learning experience on using the Internet ;).

> teaching involves conversation and that can't be easily gotten from a book. Sure, a book is a good supplement, some are called companion, even, and with programming the need for good documentation is called out often enough, but still.

Teaching involving conversation with a good tutor can indeed be even more efficient than books. But that's a pretty rare situation (average university classes don't count - too much people, not enough time, too crappy tutors). Books are a good substitute - in fact good books for a given subject exist exactly so that you can learn something without having a specialist explain it to you face to face.

Companion books is something I'd generally avoid, since they exist to support a class, not to give you information.

It's for educational purposes only. You are right - Nobody should use this for hiding secrets! This is why I enjoy crypto done purely on the frontend, preferably with JS and no leakage to third parties.
"The main failing of TDD is the assumption that you know all of the tests that you will need before you know your software."

If that's what TDD is, then it can only fail. Fortunately, TDD does not require you to write all your tests up front (see "The Three Rules of TDD").

I spend a lot of my time interviewing people and talking with people about TDD. In the vast majority of cases, I find people who dislike TDD are often doing "Not TDD, but called TDD." If I were to write software that way, I too would consider that TDD did not live up to expectations.

Because cryptocurrency sounds like a scam?

Seriously, from the outside, a bunch of people with no standing whatsoever created a bunch of numbers on their graphics cards and call it currency.

Now, compared to fiat currency, which in most cases is backed by a government with a long history, cryptocurrency sounds like a scam.

There is a vast difference between a government saying something has value vs. a bunch of random people and an obscure Japanese guy (who may or may not even exist) saying something has value.

Fiat currency has some measure of stability. If a gallon of milk costs around $4 today, it will probably cost around the same tomorrow. Can you say the same with cryptocurrencies? And which one?

But it's just an evaluation function anyway. A very complex one, but still nothing else. Chess engine doesn't have a notion of a plan (which is how a human approaches chess). All it does is mechanically keep on steering the game towards positions that are evaluted as best by the function.

"Space" is just a shortening of "outer space" in this case. This is opposed to the "inner space", namely the space within Earth's atmosphere. Everything outside of that is "outer space".
I have a hypothesis about this: The lower your skill is at software development (or some subset of it), the more likely you are to be strongly opinionated about these kinds of arguments.

If you are highly skilled, you're far less likely to be married to any one bit of technology, even if you have prior preferences. You're also likely to have been through a few fad cycles before, so you probably learned to tune out the holy wars and focus on being productive. And if some stack X is really a giant turd, you should be able to figure that out quickly and avoid it, so you don't have a reason to write about how much it sucks.

On the other hand, if you know next to nothing, you're going to be more likely to read "Don't ever use X!" stories because you don't know what to use and are looking for advice. And you may be more dependent on whatever things you do use, because you don't yet know many other things, and you may be more likely to believe that it's better for your career to establish yourself as an expert in whatever you know.

I think the "front-end land" sees more of these now because front-end land is a new and bizzare place that only came into being a few years ago; people generally don't understand it as well as they do other things.
I know what the word shill means, and your inverse variant of red-baiting isn't very effective. Simply taking money from some group does not mean you are a shill for that group.
No, that's right - you just don't have any Scenarios built yet :)
Typically assets involve more than just image and css files esp for any project you're building a full server for (i.e. not done with a static site generator), so yes that makes things more complicated, but their job is to remove the boilerplate from development (i.e. provide a "framework" to develop in) so you can do your existing development more easily in new projects.

And if you already have a better solution, or your solution requires an even more complicated set of tooling, just add `--no-gulp` and it won't bother you.
The difference is that they're not selling people that sign up with them directly on SCF.

They're using a promotional strategy to solicit signups in exchange for a giveaway (people have been doing this for years). They partner with several sites to promote this so everyone grows. Users are explicitly signing up for the giveaway & those TOS state the email will be distributed to the partners.

They are not selling their current users information to partners.

In other words, you might not like the promotion strategy, but that's a one-off, easy-to-change thing. They are not selling email addresses that they got directly via scottscheapflights.com - which is what the GP was insinuating (a bit dishonestly too).

There's a big difference as what's actually happening can be a strategy that you dislike (and they might as well, depending on the outcome), but what the GP is insinuating is that SCF is actually SELLING the data, is completely incorrectly.
