> I'm sorry, but it does cost less

That leaves us wondering why economies of scale haven't beaten out your costs? A place like McDonalds should be able to buy food considerably cheaper than you can, hire people at a fraction of the cost of your time to prep for yourself, etc. While I understand why you may not want to eat McDonalds food constantly, from a price perspective you shouldn't be able to compete.

Have you forgotten some of your costs? It's easy to ignore the opportunity cost of owning the means of production, for instance, despite being a substantial cost, especially in high-cost cities. I have calculated in the past that simply having land allocated for the averaged-sized kitchen in SF costs about the same as a meal out at a nice restaurant 365 days a year, every year. That's even before getting into the cost of building the kitchen structure, furnishing it will the tools needed to prepare food, etc.

If you still believe that your methods are cheaper than a restaurant, what prevents it from working at scale to allow restaurants to offer food just as cheaply?

> I don't always have the time

This is an interesting statement. "I don't have time" means that you value doing one activity over another. If cooking isn't your top choice when faced with options, then perhaps you have undervalued your time spent in the kitchen when calculating your costs?
It seemed like uber was receiving weekly PR body blows up to that point. Bad stuff.

If you decide to fire somebody, does it ever make sense to wait? Not layoff, but firing an individual. If it's come to that, you pull the trigger. it's just messy, a reasonable period or mourning is different between different people and it's not clear that he was actually doing that anyways. Weeks will matter to the future valuation for the new CEO.
> From now on I'm going to include at least one of these in each interview I'll be conducting - for extra points of course.

There's absolutely 0 benefit from an engineering standpoint in having type coercion memorized in JavaScript.

I'd personally immediately terminate every interview that posed such questions ({} + [] + '' or whatever).

I mean no offense, but I'd ask you to reconsider. People who ask trick/puzzle questions and hacks in interviews do not understand (or haven't thought deeply enough) how to properly screen JS developers which eventually goes through to the team itself. There are at least a dozen more interesting topics to question on if you want to assign extra points than useless stuff that should never be into production in the first place.
Good point, but still, consider how simple it would be for them to get Russian speaking help, and how small an effort it is in comparison to the gain in publicity - if they got something, of course.

Why Use Cases Should Come Before Technology at Startups
The people you need to convince is Google management, so that they prioritize this over everything else on the roadmap. One easy way to do that from outside is to make it actually a priority, by making it a PR issue. Otherwise it turns into one of those perennial 'things we want to do' that never beats out the critical items on the roadmap.

Noted, and you may be correct. I always presumed an "education" involved a structured framework of learning. As an autodidact of sorts w/ merely an undergrad degree I have had many citations from prospective employers & clients as to my "sparse" education. I am often dismissed without ever having an opportunity to demonstrate my abilities b/c I lack expensive degrees & certs.
The bike example is a very poor analogy - the data isn't removed from LinkedIn, it's merely copied. It doesn't matter how many times the site is scraped, the data is unchanged and still available. A better analogy would be me taking a photo of the bike while walking past. It shouldn't matter how many times you tell me to stop, if it's on public property you can't really stop me from taking the photo.

If you have an issue with that, you should be moving your bike somewhere people can't take a photo from the public street. Not have someone creatively interpret a law that says where I am is suddenly not public property, because you asked me to stop using my camera.

This example with the absence of an Eq class is not related to just equality, it’s a symptom of a lack of generics. You’ll end up with a lot of special, built-in classes (e.g. Ord), while just adding simple type classes to Elm would make all of this solvable in a library (e.g. Elm’s Prelude).

Surely, if we agree that Eq, Ord, and Foldable are useful, they’re probably not the only useful type classes in existence.

I am also developer and I changed last year from Mac to Dell XPS 13". I would have stayed on Mac but the new keyboard felt strange, touchbar is... well I felt it is time to try something new. One surprising feature that I though I would never use is touch screen. I really like it and I thought it would be useless.

There are some things that I think could be better. I think Windows is a bit ugly, hardware does not feel polished like in Apple but it's not nowhere as bad as Dells used to be. The only thing I go back to Mac when I need to do iOS stuff and sometimes when i get something from designers in Sketch format but it is unlikely that I will return to MBP anytime soon.

This might be your perception, but it certainly isn't reality. If that were the case the amount of transactions and acceptance of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies wouldn't be continuously trending upwards, which it is.

I find the callousness in this post extremely distressing.

You don't understand what having a child under the age of six months is like. You are incredibly sleep deprived, making errors at work and are a danger on the road. My wife and I piled up a barricade of boxes to the door of our balcony because we were terrified that one of us would hallucinate at 4am and drop our newborn off the fourth floor.

So when I read about a mother who thought she had dropped her infant off at daycare with her four-year-old, and instead found her dead in the backseat when she got off work that night, my first thought was, "That could have been me." When I read about a parent who backed her car over her infant, I immediately remembered the morning I backed over my lunch because I had been up all night with a screaming newborn and my morning routine got off a beat when my neighbor interrupted it to ask a question.

The real tragedy here is that we could probably greatly reduce these incidents by giving new parents extended maternity leave or providing them some other form of social support. Unfortunately, the same mindset in this country that considers these tragedies "criminal" are also the same people who think giving a new mother time off is some kind of free ride.

If you read stories about these tragedies and your gut reaction is "shitty parents" who "want to kill their children," then your ethical mindset is completely alien to me. I don't know how to teach you the importance of compassion and sympathy for your fellow human beings.
Is it fair to say that your argument here is that "this resource was extremely valuable to me for understanding certain concepts in ways that Haskell-oriented resources in the past have not been"?

I think that's a totally fair criticism. I also believe that the Haskell resources can provide further value to you (and others in your position) over time if you choose to study them. Similarly, studying category theory or type theory or logic could.

Are these practical things to do? It depends upon your goals.

Satellite imagery like this is legal to within a few feet of practical resolution, pretty much anywhere. The effective countermeasure is hiding things from a satellite, not attempting to sue satellite operators for flying overhead. I'm not aware of a specific law against using anything that is literally viewable from the sky, at least in the United States (someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but last I checked Google Maps blurs out some locations or keeps them outdated because the government requests it, not because of a formal law forcing them to do so).

There are two other notes in response to your question:

1. Drones are different from satellites, and are more susceptible to regulation in the way you're positing because they can be prevented from flying above specific areas. However, most of the same problems with countering them apply, because drones can record better three dimensional footage. In your specific example, if a tanker disguised itself overhead, it would still be legal to have a drone monitor the tanker from the sides, as long as doing so didn't break any law set by the FAA.

2. Drones are actively used these days for things like monitoring production facilities ("how many cars come out of this factory" for an oversimplified version). If they have to monitor from a distance, so be it, they'll do it. The effective countermeasure here is to have a huge amount of land that can't provide any intelligence, because the drones aren't allowed to fly over it and can't see far enough in to the facility.

There's definitely a productive ethics discussion that can be had here, but the legal precedents don't really allow for combatting these techniques right now. If it's public, it can be collected, ingested and used in an algorithm to determine alpha.
Cool example. But, doing this will create a tight coupling between business logic , the state machine, and storage/persistence, Postgres.

If ever you decide you want to migrate away from Postgres, you'll need to rewrite all the business logic into some other out of process language. If ever you want to scale this, such that you want to calculate states in batches, you'd want to have the business logic somewhere else...

Book review: Raise a Genuis
This is a huge problem with the U.S. legal system. A lot of common behavior has been criminalized, to the point where most people could probably be pursued for something. There's a general shrug about this, followed by a "I doubt they'd actually go after you for that." But that ends up meaning that authorities can target an individual when they want to, and since this is often followed by throwing a lot of shade about the targeted individual people think it's justified.
On the other hand, something like Rust has similar typeclasses, and runs blazingly fast. Serde JSON is super quick and efficient.

I agree that most of "very strange things" about JS can be avoided. 90% of these "look, js is weird" articles are quite useless as they make use of very artificial scenarios.
Such blatant misuse of the language in these examples. Not sure what to think. It seems like the author has a good understanding of JS, but then goes out of the way to purposefully misrepresent things to construct strawmen simply to then tear them down. If someone comes across this without being familiar with JS, they could very easily be misled.

As a comparison, how many WTF C++ examples could be constructed if people misused arrays, pointers, bitwise comparators, oeprator overloads, templates, etc... to create nonsensical operations?

> Purescript's Argonaut lib has major performance issues that are incurred for the "powerful type system."

Can you explain what you mean here? Your explanation below suggests a runtime cost for the type system, which just isn't true.

I'm aware Argonaut's approach generates slower code. The nice part of any such happenstance in PureScript is that if you do find an issue it's easy to bang out some Javascript in a foreign call to do what you need.

I find outside of Slamdata, folks are keen to do this. PureScript is a very new language and is still finding ways to generate code efficiently in it's target environment.

Bias does not necessarily follow from "paid for by the... government", "run by mostly large conglomerate corps", and "need licenses for the public airwaves". Most everything good is paid for by someone or some group; journalists don't have the means to do their reporting for free.

Ultimately you have to use your own judgement, but if your preferred news organizations have a history of hiring honest and reputable journalists and providing unbiased coverage (especially if it targets institutions of power) then I think heuristically you can leave them in your "trusted source" folder.

In the worst case scenario, I suppose you can just follow your favorite journalists and rely on personal trust and reputation.

I think MathType still exists, but since it works by embedding an OLE object into the document there are limits in how well it integrates with other features of the platform. It's the equivalent of having to insert equations as images in LaTeX and editing them via a different application.

You’re mixing up laziness and purity. Purity makes side effects impossible, so to speak, not laziness.

Haskell is the most functional language because a Haskell function is a mathematical function, which can only transform its arguments into a value. Everything is a constant in Haskell, and functions transform one or more constants into a single, new constant.
they can go eat a dick... you cant stop the signal!
I like this analogy. I think maybe the answer would be to include technical limitations, like API limits so scrapers can only work as fast as a human. Or maybe captcha interaction like select all images of a car could be integrated? I think it should be up to the pool operator to make sure people follow the rules they put in place, not call the cops because someone is running.
