> In 10 minutes in a grocery store I can buy enough food for 10-15 meals

In the universe I inhabit there's no way that's true. I spend a great deal of time in the grocery store just finding things, then looking at the choices to figure out what's the best deal / doesn't contain Yellow #5 / isn't expired already and on and on.

Oh and...add to that the time to phone the wife to find out if when she wrote "Onion" on the list did that mean Yellow Onion or White Onion or Red Onion or Sweet Wallah Wallah Onion or Scallion and how many of them...
Yea, I'm really pretty thankful; I think my teammates and manager really went to bat for me when the whole thing came down. Without their help, IBM almost certainly would have let me go.

It didn't work out so well for a colleague of mine who was on the design team. Despite several other teams within IBM trying to hire him, the company stayed the course and let him go. I don't know the full details, but I do know that he's a world-class web/mobile engineer and we're definitely worse off for loosing him. He's in Pittsburgh, if anyone is looking for someone there (or remote): https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuabsmith/
The thing is there really isn't a corporate/business market anymore. The company I worked for stopped buying corporate phones and plans and just gives us money every month to put to a BYOD solution. We just need to use a phone with certain security requirements. We also have started procuring software and services to fit into this world.
So what you're saying is you don't appreciate my tone?

You can nose around my comments. While I'm somewhat acidic with people who suggest it is the feminist responsibility to endure every negative opinion in perpetuity, I'm engaging in most conversations honestly.

I am quite confident in the core components of these observations, but I was more skeptical of it some time ago. If you genuinely believe I cannot be swayed, why do YOU bother talking to me?
Serverless still is a marketing tool for cloud providers. It will be useful when it really offers advantages over managing your own servers, especially on the cost and debugging.
Huh. I can't find any solid cites, either.

Are you saying Google has examined the historical accuracy of this page and found it lacking?
It'll be interesting to see whether any of the leakers that caused that bad PR are actually fired. Seems doubtful.
I read the article.

Does the story they are presenting make sense to you? It doesn't to me!

All that's left is to assume there is more to the story than what is written.
Googling for enterprise blockchain scenarios, I find https://www.hyperledger.org/projects/sawtooth/seafood-case-s... I guess in this case the goal is to ensure customers trust in the enterprise beyond just reputation. These records are currently being stored in traditional databases and the customers trust that the records aren't being tampered with out of the expectation of consequences if the enterprise was caught cheating. But, with a blockchain record, cheating becomes extraordinarily harder. The customers do not need to trust. They can verify.

> ... we start building new cities ...

I hope that you realize that cities are not just begun and built up (like the ghost-cities of China), but are built up over time because the area was desirable and people migrated to those areas.

The US isn't in the habit of just building a city somewhere. That just doesn't happen.

That -new city building- is something that happens when a country's GDP is slipping so low they have no choice but to spend money (looking at you China) to falsely inflate their growth metric.

In the west, we are capitalist driven. That means a city will spring up around a feature. Doesn't matter what that feature is, but it's growth is organic and not necessarily well-planned as you're suggesting.

We could theoretically do this, but we don't.
I think it's a bit of a popular straw man that a 50/50 split is desired. It's more along the lines of, "There are no obvious artificial disadvantages for people in these groups, and if that happens then the resulting distribution will almost certainly change."

If you look at the published #s right now, they're... very striking. It makes the hypothesis that it's just the preference of women and people of various minorities quite an aggressive hypothesis, in a bayesian sense.

Anecdotally I disagree with mise en place. Chopping all the things and then putting them in a separate bowls to be used later has never been faster for me than chopping things as I need them and throwing them into a pan that is already cooking the thing I just chopped.
I theorize that all recipes are written with mise en place in mind because many recipe writers have experience in the restaurant world and that is how things are done there. There is a prep time to chop everything before the busy times and then when orders come in they can quickly fire all the chopped ingredients, so the actual cook time to table is fast when time is most important but the overall time is slower, but it does matter because the prep time occurs when people are not waiting for food.

Again this is all theory and I could be super wrong.
Their last great car is the C6 imho. Got to drive one for a number of long distance trips. So incredibly luxurious. Looks terrific too.
I haven't tried. I use one of their UK servers for iPlayer, with dnsmasq and policy routing so that Netflix NZ still works. I should try putting the Roku's default route through the US.

That's the advantage of several connections from the same IP :-)
Was not planning on implementing high-end Xeons, I was looking at ~EUR600 per CPU. So total for CPU's would have been slightly more than a 1950X. Also, a dual socket motherboard is also a bit more expensive.

In total I think a single CPU 1950X is about 500 euro cheaper. So yeah, 'slightly' was a wrong choice of words.
Roads, bridges and schools were built before national governments began passively levying taxes on income. this is a 100 year old concept.

Taxes on capital gains are a 70 year old concept.

Just recognize the amorality of it. It can only be billed as a "duty" for "roads and schools" when pandering to the lower classes who have no choice in the matter, while recognizing those classes have the numbers to get you in office. But "taxes" are not an absolute on the concept of how a government can fund itself. Governments have to balance the consequences of how they attempt to raise revenues, by being competitive amongst other countries, as their ecosystems primarily rely on attracting or incentivizing investment.
This is a great combination IMO. I spent some time researching various BI data analytics services and I was impressed with some of the newer ones like Tableau. This seems like essential tech for any medium-large company.

Dashboards and visualizations that can be easily composed with a natural language interface... it makes a lot of sense. Especially when combined with alerting services and/or chatbot-esque interfaces for automating workflows.
Cute.

I am still curious if this would be a criminal offense for the person that did the SQL injection attack.
I am in the same boat, one of my use cases is many many instances of the same application. (100 instances would be good, as I get 70 on my dual socket E5-2670 v1)

Only problem when compared to dual socket Xeon E5 solutions up to Broadwell(v4) is support for Windows 7 which is a must for my case.

I remain hopeful that it will be possible to run Windows 7 on Threadripper "unoficially".

It might take a PS/2 keyboard and a DVD(USB is not supported on Ryzen for Windows 7 without slipstreaming USB drivers) to install but it should be doable.
I'm not sure I follow what you're saying in the first two sentences? Neat to know that you can cash out immediately though; that makes more sense.

Are the vendors that accept BTC pricing their goods based on the current exchange rate for 1 BTC? ie. I price product A at $1500USD, I then say I accept BTC, so when someone puts it in the shopping cart it converts $1500USD to BTC and charges them that amount?

Sorry, just not familiar and trying to figure out how it works. I haven't came across anyone that accepts BTC (although I haven't looked either).
Looks pretty cool! It's hard to know what to trust on WebMD and all of the other links at the top of search results.

In Seattle Microsoft also runs its own substantial bus service, "the Connector". There are so many Microsoft employees commuting in and out of Redmond every day that it makes a lot of sense.
95% of driving is not operating the vehicle: it's interior distraction, tiredness, weather, other drivers, animals, mechanical issues, etc.

Inside-the-vehicle distractions (conversations, checking a map (or GPS), the stereo, eating/drinking, phone, etc) is what makes people bad drivers. IOW, being human is what makes people bad drivers.

Drivers weren't ever "good" (as a group) - there were just some who weren't as bad as others.
Here’s your point by point refutation of the Google memo
That's unlikely to be true in the future for a whole host of reasons.
Yet we know that people join these projects. Yourdon's “Death March" covers the topic. I haven't read it in a while, but according to http://wiki.c2.com/?DeathMarch the first chapter includes "what motivates developers to join them".

Looking around now, https://www.quora.com/What-is-it-like-to-work-on-a-death-mar... summarizes what people do in these sorts of projects: "(a) follow all orders you are given, (b) avoid being given orders if you can (i.e. don't volunteer for more work), (c) always appear busy and productive, and (d) start doing side projects (and, possibly, looking for other jobs) to stay sane. A death march project can be a great time to build unrelated skills on the clock, because there tends to be a lot of downtime due to miscommunications. ... keep quiet, always appear busy, and focus on your own career vector."

This agrees with my understanding, which is why I don't think it's such a CV death knell as you suggest.

> while being more efficient than buses because the server can dynamically route the driver to optimize pickups and departures.

There's a big assumption here that this dynamic routes would actually be more efficient than the simple fixed routes we have now. I'm skeptical.
If I recall correctly (Not an ME - I'm more of an electrical / software side of the robot guy) -- between the flexibility of the spline gear giving a tight engagement, and the high preload / friction at the gear interface, you end up just backdriving the input if you try to jerk around the output shaft.

They backlash may not be truly 0 (ask a knowledgable Mech E.), but they are definitely much better on that front than any other gearset with the same reduction I've ever got my hands on.
To clarify, the situation is a publicly reachable subdomain which you do not want others to know about?
"Citizen please let us know how we can tax you more"
Can I get a bank account which works like a normal bank- accepts EFTs in dollars, has a debit card which pays in dollars, but where my balance is stored in BTC and everything is exchanged to/from BTC at the current rate on the fly? With enough of a balance, it seems like I'd be able to weather any fluctuations in the exchange rate and my funds would for the most part appreciate at a much greater rate than the measly interest on a savings account. Does that exist? Would that be a terrible idea?
Oh but hey guys no global warming!

I don't think the article makes sense. Firing someone on the spot for a talk that was approved would put the company at risk of legal action.

Interesting question. Since there's a limited supply theoretically on a long enough timeline every BTC will be lost.

What if there just isn't enough bitcoin in circulation to cover the loss (there is a 21 million cap on BTC).

Bank robberies don't usually leave the bank with nothing :-)

Agree about advantage as being a great place to work vs traditional banks. They will attract better talent for sure.
There's a reason common convention swag for years included a fish eye mirror with a notch on the back to fit over the corner of your monitor.
It may be a great habit in a restaurant where you always have more work in the queue, but for home cooking it makes a lot of sense to interleave cooking with chopping. It saves time not just because the cooking and chopping happens in parallel, but also because you don't need to get six bowls and wash them afterwards. The exception is if you know that you won't be able to chop quickly enough, e.g. wok.
Is this Microsoft's subtle way of saying they don't acknowledge iOS's Cocoa and Cocos2d frameworks? Or were they hopping to drop the 'a' wouldn't cause for confusion/overlap.
Most wallets have started communicating values in "mBTC" - whose price is within an order of magnitude of a dollar.
No most of congestion is caused by the spacial inefficiency of car based infrastructure. Cars are big and roads have fixed capacity. Autonomous cars will not significantly change this.
Booked an airbnb in Nashville back in January. It has a decent-sized backyard. I'm flying in from San Diego and my parents are driving up from Tallahassee.

"As a someone looking make purchases with BTC; if the value of a BTC is going up, why would I use it to buy anything? It's gone up $700 in the last week; up $200 in the last 24 hours alone. I'd feel incredible silly spending bitcoin in a growth phase."

If it goes up so much, isn't it incredibly silly for you to not buy any? See, the reason why you haven't bought BTC yet is the same reason why BTC is still used to buy things. BTC might go down tomorrow, so why not spend it today and get more bang for your buck now.

Case in point: I've personally spent ~100 BTC over the years (buying domain names, Steam games, paying my CPA, buying on Newegg, eating at Charlie Shrem's bar in NYC, etc.)
Some vendors and some listing sites show at least two exchange rates. National currency and the cryptocurrency of choice.

Stripe and Coinbase give the options of automatic conversion to the cryptocurrency exchange rate when displaying it.

Some merchants, usually more established ones like Microsoft, Newegg, Namecheap, typically won't show the bitcoin price until you chose that option and they generate the timed invoice.

Oh, my bad, I didn't know. Hmm, maybe you could talk to the manager of your store and suggest it. It's not too hard for the folks there to just pack it all up like BlueApron or how we do it here. Plus, they could charge +10% or so to do that, essentially free money for them. I'd bet the manager would be pretty happy to do it. Then again, this a US perspective, so YMMV.

Yes, if you deny the reasonable conversation then the extremists will claim it as validating their ridiculous standpoints.

> Every F‑TYPE is fitted with an Active Sports Exhaust that creates a race‑car inspired crescendo.

> The exhaust system reacts to throttle position, speed and engine revs by opening active valves. When open, these valves allow exhaust gases to take a more direct, less restrictive route through the rear silencer producing a much richer, more exhilarating sound. Where fitted, the Switchable Active Exhaust, allows you to manually open the exhaust valves so you can enjoy F‑TYPE’s stirring soundtrack at all engine speeds. This feature is optional on F‑TYPE and standard on all other models.

Saw a pretty sweet demo of Tableau's home-grown prototype at their annual conference last November. It was surprisingly useful to be able to just speak "show me all of the 3-bedroom homes in the downtown Seattle area less than $400,000".

It was slow, but effective. I kept feeling myself wanting to click around for the first few minutes but quickly realized I didn't need to.

I did have to speak in away that the NLP engine could understand (i.e. "four-hundred thousand dollars" instead of "four-hundred k") so it still feels like I'm building a SQL query with my voice instead of just speaking an idea and the software figures out what I mean (hard problem to solve, I know!)

Super markets certainly have their problems, for reasons you've said. However, you can choose not to put your groceries in any plastic from the supermarket, if you wish. I have done exactly that for a while now and it's easily doable, you just have to be a little choosy about what you buy.

If people switched to shopping at local farmer's markets - so food wouldn't be shipped around at all - we would produce much less pollution and have much sustainable agriculture than either of those options.
