I believe the reason is because they started doing payment plans for annual passes so sales shot up.

I'm sure the capital costs are crazy for building a new park, but with all the demand I'm still a bit surprised there's no talk of building a Disney park in the middle of the U.S. They appear to operate very independently (the fact WDW has had fastpass+ and magic bands for years and DL is just now announcing a completely different system, Maxpass).

You mentioned demand internationally. Disneyland Paris is the only park outside of the U.S. wholly owned by Disney. Not sure if it was a concession (I could see that for China) or as a risk-sharing thing. I would imagine Disney would want to own 100% of any new park if possible.
Is this live somewhere?
Recently, I had the opportunity to do some number crunching on actual outcomes data for one of the tier 1 bootcamps. (all its years of operation to date) I discovered that some major changes needed to be made in their business model in order for them to be truly profitable. Their big innovative business idea seemed to be: we are gonna be the best at bootcamping. I don't get how that even passes as an innovative business idea at the first funding round. Their delivery on that awesomeness idea didn't show itself in their outcomes. They still love their model though. This may be because they don't have to be profitable. I was puzzled.
The developer of bcachefs already has the experience of creating bcache, a general-purpose block-level caching system that is optimized for the characteristics of flash-based SSDs as the cache devices. The original bcache essentially serves as the proof of concept and practice implementation for all the lower-level portions of bcachefs (not that it was planned that way; they just realized while working on bcache they had implemented most of a filesystem).
It could be worse, it could be counting down.

Are you sure? If I'm not wrong, this isn't that much different from Ethereum/Ethereum Classic situation.

Ethereum Classic's price is no where near Ethereum's but it is still maintaining a good position - 5th by Market Cap and 3rd by 24hr volume.

You are saying the ALL of the mining power will eventually move over, but what if it doesn't the miners (85% of whom support Segwit2x) stay on the non-UASF fork?

UASF Bitcoin will be very weak, so I can't expect what would happen, but I'm just saying its not so simple.

>This is an ideal world calculation that also assumes the owner working in and out every day, no hired managers, no shift workers, no sick or vacation time for the owner.
The ideal part is only in the "average" income of 4,000 US$ each day, the model is that of a typical small restaurant.

>How are you making sure you have enough coins and dollar bills to cover change?
Exactly how it has been done, for the past roguhly 5,000 years money has been in use.

>How is the cost calculation impacted if a rogue employee steals, a robber demands all cash, or if sketchy customer passes a counterfeit bill?
They are called enterprise risks, they date back to before the money was even invented.
You fire the rogue employer, you have a robbery - maybe - once in 30 or 40 years of activity, you get one, maybe two counterfeit 50 dollar bills a year.

What I wanted to show is only that the 2-3% a credit card transaction costs easily represents in small activities 20% of the net (before taxes) income the activity produces for the owner/worker.
I wouldn't be quite so worried. If the effects truly do end up being due to soluble signalling factors in the younger blood (and not immune cell implantation or some other physiologic quirk of the cross-wired parabiosis experimental setup that won't transfer to non-inbred humans) then those factors will be synthesized in bioreactors and made into a synthetic plasma product - that's also the only likely way to make money on this for a therapeutic company.
> It's not a superset until it has a non-sharable memory heaps between threads, complete and easy hot code reloading, dynamic tracing (being able to log into a node and update code at will as it the application is running).

The first two I can definitely see -- particularly for robustness and debugging -- but I'm a bit surprised by the last one. Do people actually really log into running production systems and update code like this? It seems like it would be an incredibly dangerous thing to do. (Akin to using direct DB connections and typing in DELETE statements directly rather than e.g. putting them in SQL scripts first.) It could potentially also make it extremely hard to know what's actually running in production.
There's a lot of shady movement going on in both BTC and ETH right now. We're seeing pretty violent swings. I'm guessing this is a symptom of the uncertainty. We'll likely see a downtrend overall in the next few weeks. Daily movements are day by day.
I have to wonder what's going to happen once those storage level random access non-vol memory technologies finally make it out of R&D and into the market.

Unfortunately this is _not_ what airlines do. They work very hard to book you on one of _their_ next available flights. I think that by law they should be required to book you on the next available flight by any airline in any class and additionally pay fines depending upon how long the passenger is delayed. They should also be required to make their best effort to find the available seats for the passenger.
The whole point would be that it would be mandatory. So that websites would need to do without javascript unless they really couldn't be usable without it.

Federal loans (90% of all loans) come with income based repayment plans that charge 10% of your disposable income and are cancelled after 20 years if you don't pay it off.

The income based repayment plans are also retroactively available to all Federal borrowers.

It's not actually as big of a problem as it sounds.
Mostly agreed. But I would say those are still BMWs. There's no evidence that shows they are much worse than imported ones in terms of quality.
The initial rational behind this was NPM releasing NPX, and in doing so me finding out that both can run scripts from Gist. This set alarms off for me as a potential security attack vector.

I raised the issue with a (https://github.com/tanepiper/steal-ur-stuff) that showed - a module with no dependencies, but a post-install script running npx to grab bash_history and post it to example.com - but the point was made that even with it being more public now with npx, this has always been a risk in NPM (https://twitter.com/maybekatz/status/884808186993164289)

So what is npm-lint? It's an opinionated tool that currently checks the package.json file against rules defined in a .npmlint.json file with a default that looks like this:

{
"properties": ["description", "main", "author", "license"],
"scripts": {
"allow": ["node", "npm", "echo", "exit"]
},
"dependencies": {
"checkLatest": false,
"sources": ["latest", "https://github.com", "http://bitbucket.org"]
}
}

The tool will first check the properties of the file to check that these are set (name and version are always checked and not needed - and in a newer version I also have validation rules for checking the value itself is valid)

For scripts you can set an allowed set of executable that can be used in scripts. In the above example if you have a script that does a git or curl command it will cause an error and you will need to add this to the json file.

For dependencies, it excludes anything with a valid semver for now (assuming that this is safe) but will then check to see what the other values are. In this case if a dependency points to a gist, or a git repo that is not github or bitbucket it will error. You can essentially white list any source that isn't the npm registry. Finally it has checkLatest which when set to true, currently uses npm-check-updates to find the latest versions. One further idea here is to tie into a vulnerability database like snyk to advise of potential risky modules.

Most of the rules are quite simple just now, but I'd like to expand them to be more configurable (such as issuing a warning instead of an issue if a github source is for, for example). Eventually this should resolve for all dependencies in a tree of a module, so it also checks dependencies of dependencies for issues.

It's been developed over the last couple of days and now uses async/await for a much cleaner control flow.

Any feedback is welcome :)

Beyond the up-to 37mph "self-driving" I'm very sure the car also supports all the already available driver-assistance features (adaptive cruise control, lane assist, etc.) up to much higher speeds. Compared to the self-driving feature the lane-assist will bug you once you take your hands of the wheel for more than 10-30 seconds, and they require the driver to be able to always immediately take over control, because the manufacturer doesn't deem them as safe for real self-driving without human intervention. This is more comparable to what Tesla currently offers from my understanding, even though Tesla markets this more aggressively ("Autopilot").

I see a lot of event sourcing tutorials are based on ordering by timestamp. If events (state transitions) are generated concurrently that would lead to huge problems reconstructing actual flow (and breaking state machines). For example when user has multiple sessions open and makes concurrent changes in both sessions.

Wouldn't it be better to store identifier of previous state and reconstruct the event tree using CONNECT BYs/WITH RECURSIVEs?

"Victor says that Volvo believes that Level 3 autonomy, where the driver needs to be ready to take over at a moment's notice, is an unsafe solution. Because the driver is theoretically freed up to work on email or watch a video while the car drives itself, the company believes it is unrealistic to expect the driver to be ready to take over at a moment's notice and still have the car operate itself safely.
The difference is that with networking, I don't need to bother myself with data being aligned to physical layer boundaries, or similar level small details that belong to network drivers or OS stack layer — and still get gigabytes per second throughput, because of good abstractions. And with OpenGL/Vulkan — it's like I am writing driver-level code, which is not my idea of fun.

For printers, there is PostScript. Why there isn't a similar standardized 3D rendering protocol?

Additionally, what you have described is still 10-15 lines of code. Vulkan is still more demanding.

Top tier boot camps are essentially 12 week long interviews that the interviewee pays for.

It's a great business model for those top tier boot camps, but there's a limited number of students who can make it through, pay for it, and take time off to do it. It's just not that scaleable.

It was making a lot of sense until the part about recursive dependencies. To my mind, once this happens it becomes a dependency graph instead of a tree, and instead of trying to satisfy dependencies "locally" I would work out all the constraints and then solve them. The "choose highest, check parent" algorithm seems to me like it would make results depend on which package in a cycle you tried to resolve first, and apparently with peerdependencies it sometimes is incorrect (https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/422). Any insight as to why it was designed this way? Just the NP-completeness?
I think you missed the key issue. Mining is largely centralized under the control of Bitmain, both via pools and indirectly via miners they have sold (which in the past have had backdoors). They profit from using an exploit called ASICBOOST.

Segwit will disable ASICBOOST as a side effect of improving the protocol. Therefore, BitMain has been launching FUD campaigns and numerous attempts to propose alternative software to stop segwit (XT, BU, BTC1, BTCABC etc.)

Segwit2X is a compromise-- but Bitmain does not like it because it activates segwit.

So BitMain has announced they plan to do a forcible Hard Fork of Bitcoin, splitting off into another chain, that they will privately mine-- and they intend to neutralize segwit on it.

They have publicly complained that segwit offers lower fees for transactions that use less resources.

The entire conflict (including the "scaling problems" which have recently been proven to be due to spam driving up transaction costs) is Bitmain attempting to increase and protect their near monopoly.

Please be aware that their fork, which will have nearly unlimited block size will increase their monopoly. Due to the great firewall of china, large blocks have trouble getting transmitted, so whenever a chinese miner finds a block, when the blocks are very big, they have a significant competitive advantage in finding the next block. Thus simply activating a spam campaign (which they have been doing the past 3 months or so already) will allow them to centralize mining in china because the chinese miners will start getting 2-3 blocks ahead. Further on their hard fork they can easily lower the difficulty and get many blocks ahead while private mining (but make it look like the difficulty is higher) -- admittedly a speculation but given their past exploits and announced plans to engage in further shady behavior I would not be surprised.

Here's the blog post where they announce their (very sketchy) hard fork: https://blog.bitmain.com/en/uahf-contingency-plan-uasf-bip14...
>From the article: "Michael Ryan, the co-owner and co-founder, said he never ordered cash drawers or a safe. By not having to count cash, visit a bank or order change, Mr. Ryan estimates, the manager on duty saves about 23 hours a week."

Still from the article:
"Some merchants have already stopped taking cash. New York City-based 2nd City, a Filipino taqueria, hasn’t accepted cash since it opened its doors in 2016."

The owner and co-founder has seemingly more than a whopping whole year of experience in the field.

How much does he pay in transaction fees per week in order to save the (calculated/estimated) 23 hours of work?

As a testimonial, I would like to have someone who managed a restaurant for 10-20 years and then in 2016 decided to go "no cash".

What you are suggesting (preventing errors from crashing application) only makes discovering errors more difficult. For example, application might look like it is working ok, but some of requests do not return any response or return invalid data - because an exception was ignored.

Try googling "fail fast" if you want to see more reasons to use this principle.

> Tearing down an entire application immediately due to an asynchronous exception has the possibility to leave the system in a deadlock or worse.

It should not. Because application can crash anyway - for example, if there is memory access violation or out-of-memory error. And synchronous applications crash on uncaught exception, I don't see why asynchronous applications should not.
I'm not a fan of this line of thinking. Not every bootcamp graduate is the same. There may be less variance between them from a purely technical standpoint but their backgrounds are far more diverse than what you'd get out college.

In other words, I don't think it's fair to say "there's an over-abundance of graduates from XYZ university. It's hard to choose among them." Regardless, stereotyping job candidates based on where they learned to code is poor practice. A good hiring manager ought to take the time to treat a candidate respectfully, but I know this behavior is rare. If your organization simply doesn't want to take on junior/entry-level programmers, it should be clear in the job post _and_ IMO, you shouldn't be open to receiving college-grad applications, either.

Sure, there are some items which are not repairable in a reasonable way. Classic example - my wife's Apple Watch, after she broke the screen on that. However, my point was I own a wide variety of appliances from different manufacturers and my default experience has been thrifty and simple repair.

Louis Rossman has an axe to grind, and from the recent iFixit teardowns, other manufacturers, particularly Microsoft, have been worse than Apple for repairability.

I've seen devices and repairs evolve from the 80s through to now, and I still firmly believe we're better off now (in general), than we were, simply due to economies of scale and the reduction in information asymmetry.
