Clients will try another ip if they can't connect -- partial failures may be a problem, but in my experience as long as nginx is alive, you can load balance to a different web backend if the app processes on that machine are wedged.

I've deployed this solution in 50k req/s environments and not seen a single user be a problem like you mention -- any motivated bad actor could cause problems in either scenario I expect.
His tenure was hugely successful, especially at the beginning. Apple was in lots of trouble, Mac sales way missed forecast, and Sculley turned the entire company around after firing Jobs and Apple was very profitable for most of his tenure.

Sculley wasn't good at finding the next great thing, so he's a perfect example for most startups. Once the founders figure out what their real business is, the key is execution. If the founders can't do it, bring in someone experienced to do it.

> The four door short bed truck is a gas guzzling inadequate tool.

Those little truck beds are so cute. They look like a toy truck bed. Can't even put a sheet of plywood in one. Since the cabin is basically an SUV, the truck bed is basically an open-air trunk.
>No, I don't. I look at the former snippet and I can easily tell each and every function invocation that can cause SomeError.

The reason that functions have type signatures is that you can read them. You can tell which functions can cause SomeError by going and reading their definitions.

>I prefer explicit over implicit since I find it far more readable.

'Explicit over implicit' is dogma. Rust requires you to annotate your code with gibberish in cases where it is not necessary.

>You can quibble about the names (Option and map), but Option is essentially the Maybe monad and map is bind, so you're kinda arguing against core functional programing constructs.

That's literally my entire point. The attitude that it's technically a Functor so it makes sense for it to be called map? No, it doesn't. It's not a map. You're not mapping over anything. Naming is important.

Calling it 'the Maybe monad' shows that you actually have no idea what you are talking about. It's not 'the Maybe monad'. The Maybe monad is the instance of Monad for Maybe. It is not Maybe itself.

The entire concept of having the literal 'Monad' word as a word in your language, a thing that you use in programming, is very stupid. Monad is not a useful or good abstraction. Maybe is a good abstraction. Or Optional, or Option, or whatever you decide to call it. But Monad is a bad abstraction. Abstracting over superficial syntactic similarities between completely different constructs is completely stupid.

The name being terrible is not 'quibbling' by the way. Naming is incredibly important. Calling it 'map' just shows how out of touch Rust is with real programmers.

BTW, Stanford has professional schools and a hospital, and is a research university, all of which are activities that don't behave like educating undergraduates.

I'm not really here to defend Stanford, I'm just pointing out that the criticisms in this sub-thread are all hand-wavy.
What's more important, an educated populace or your maintained feeling of intellectual superiority?

People aren't as dumb as you think.
Agree. As a QNX user and later QNX employee, I really missed the messaging system when I had to go back to Linux. In fact, I spent time writing a QNX-like messaging library now used extensively in our application (at my current job). Although not optimal from a performance perspective, most of the messaging we have is small packets and infrequent sends. I feel that it has really accelerated our app development, and forced a similar design pattern for each thread or "service" within the application. The same result could be had with a library such as Nanomsg.
>Growth in 2016 was 4%, not 1% and not -1%: https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&....

No it was not. Not per-capita. Growth ignoring population changes is literally completely irrelevant. It has never been relevant.

>It seems like NZ is growing at a pace of around 3%p.a. You're free to argue that there's some fantastic economic system that only you know, but most people will rightfully be sceptical of such claims unless you have a few examples of countries at NZ's high level of development growing at a much higher pace.

NZ before the horrific and inhumane neoliberal reforms of the 1980s ruined this beautiful country was growing at a much faster rate that it has ever grown since.

>Other than that I've lost track of what were arguing. It appears as if you just start making completely unrelated arguments when you're proven wrong.

Lol
The reality of the situation is that waiting tables is generally not a minimum wage job in the US, because of tips. Sure, a restaurant might be required to make up the difference between earned income and minimum wage on a slow day (although hearing from my server friends this may or may not happen), but the market wage for waiters can be 1.5-2x minimum wage in a low-end chain, and much higher at high-end restaurants. Service is thus explicitly not priced into the food, because the employer is not responsible for the true market wages of the employee.

It's been clear for years that Bitcoin transactions aren't anonymous, and that web tracking is pervasive. To use Bitcoin anonymously, one must use mixers, such as Bitcoin Fog. CoinJoin just doesn't cut it.[0] With mixers, you get totally unrelated Bitcoin. Also, one must use VPN services and/or Tor, to avoid tracking. It's rather misleading to write a paper like this without letting users know how to do it right.

I'm a weather app junkie owing to my previous career in airline operations. I've tried (and bought) at least 95% of the decent weather app on Android. Some oldies, but goodies, like Weather Services Pro & Eye in Sky. Currently running Weather Timeline and am fairly happy. (Must have dewpoint data, or no deal!)

But all that flapping was driven by my ditching AccuWeather (Premium) when they re-did the UX in 2013, trading in simple line-art style icons (with theme choices, also) to freaking photos of the sky conditions. Completely obtuse and difficult to interpret at a glance. I have a scathing review posted (same nick handle) which I 'touch' every so often to be sure it isn't listed as a review "for a previous version of the application".

So I've been on the "Screw AccuWeather" train for lo these four-odd years now.

Coinbin.org: A Human–Friendly API Service for Crypto Currency Information
Oak Ridge MSRE found unexpected cracking throughout the reactor anywhere Hastelloy came into contact with the salt fuel. Experiments produced various means of reducing the cracking, but it is not exactly true to characterize this system as "proven."

In 1977 Oak Ridge concluded [1]:

Controlling the oxidation potential of the salt coupled with the
presence of chromium ions in the salt appears to be an effective means
of limiting tellurium embrittlement of Hastelloy N. However, further
studies are needed to assess the effects of longer exposure times and
to measure the interaction parameters for chromium and tellurium under
varying salt oxidation potentials.

We know that without very precise control of the salt fuel chemistry Hastalloy N. will become brittle. It's an open question what happens with longer exposure. And that is where it was left by MSRE.

I wonder if assumptions about horizontal vs vertical content hold. Disney put the first episodes of their Ducktales reboot on youtube, and a week later it has... 1.6m views. On youtube? That doesn't pay one hobbyist minimum wage for the month much less a best in class animation studio.

On one hand, yeah, its targeted at kids. They probably aren't savvy at online content discovery. They almost certainly aren't subscribed to the Disney XD Youtube channel when there are Spiderman vs Pregnant Elsa videos to watch.

On the other hand, they put it out for free, to anyone in the US with an Internet connection, and they got 1.6m hits.

I don't think horizontal works as a business strategy. It relies entirely on memetic effects to propagate your content because the advertising budget required to reach an entire demographic to get ubiquity is magnitudes larger than the cost of actually making the thing. There is too much content inundating people - especially children. It makes your success completely random. Did your "meme" scenes go viral? Did your intricately designed quotable character take off? Did you have those, and just get overshadowed by some other meme at the time?

We won't see the consequences for a while. It will be 10 years before the cablecutters who dropped Disney have children at a critical enough mass to dramatically limit the number of young faces in front of non-interactive screens. But when that comes, it will have consequences none of these companies traditionally built on tv viewership are ready for. And I don't even know if they can prepare.

I feel like the only real end-game solution is to cultivate a fanbase, and use them as your revenue stream - much like how music has become today. Artists don't make anything off trying to sell their music anymore, because not being on spotify and pandora is a death sentence to your relevance. You need the audience, even if they aren't paying you anything, to attract fans that want mech you can profit from.

It would be really weird to see Ducktales as a Patreon project that is getting paid by 100k supporters several millions a month, but it seems to me that is the endgame for original creative media in the long run.

That's true. But many companies buy their services anyway. And that's often because they did not made the transition to software-driven companies (the "internal IT as a cost center" problem) and have trouble or don't even want to hire people.

Having worked in the industry for years, I saw so many disfunctional companies that I felt lucky to just be "the consultant".
In this case they forget to use their own service for test.

MMORPG Aiia: Dragon Ark Officially Launched in Korea
The writer says,

"Asked to explain his philosophy, he struggled for a tidy phrase and settled on this: “I like to be able to think, ‘I’m a little less flawed today than I was the day before.’”

But IMO, his philosophy is pretty clear with these quotes -

"To him, porn is the proverbial widget -- a thing to sell for more than it costs to make and market, no different from any other product."

"If my own daughter told me she wanted to be an adult film actress, I’d tell her, ‘look, there are risks, but it’s something for you to decide.”

Another interesting anecdote is that Mr.Kameyama is part of the growing list of Billionare who choose to keep their identity dark (or) go great lengths to protect their privacy.

I wonder whether not running a publicly traded company directly gives these kind of people an advantage to secure their privacy over the counterparts who run businesses which fall into public scrutiny.
You should disclose that you work for kindly care if you are going to link them as a resource to your argumentations IMHO...
Making all salaries public will almost certainly mean your wage costs go up. There are bound to be a range of different salaries given to people doing the same job. So all the ones at the bottom end will be turning up to the annual review demanding to be uplifted to match their peers. If they are turned down then they are likely to leave or just be less productive because they are not happy. Any need people recruited can see the public salaries and therefore negotiate a better pay deal than they might have otherwise.

It is hard to find a case where making the salaries public does not lead to higher wage costs.
Hubert Horan's comments and analysis on Uber have been childish since the beginning. It should not cost Uber more than a few cents to book a ride, and they should be averaging several dollars per ride in revenues. That's a huge amount of gross profit to pay marketing, development, and G&A with.
I think the reason is that customers interested in "no bullshit" (<=middle class) are not bringing the bulk of the cash. Nearly every community college I have seen fits your description very well. Public universities have a goal to get people that are wealthier and will donate.
aren't these stats horrible?

I'm assuming the 3000 brain scans you're referring to is from individuals which progressed to Alzheimers, or at least a dataset with such individuals highly represented (if this were 3000 random individuals, at a 1.6% prevalence, that amounts to 48 individuals who eventually got Alzheimers).
So according to my calculation of Bayesian probability, with a 90% sensitivity (as I'm interpreting your comment), and a 1.6% prevalence in the population, a randomly screened individual with a positive test will only actually have a 12.8% chance of getting Alzheimers. So you'll be diagnosing lots of people so that they can have an impending Alzheimer's diagnosis hanging over their head for the remainder of their life without actually being able to do anything about it, and of this cohort just over 1 in 10 people will actually end up getting Alzheimers.
Please tell me you're only planning on offering this for researchers, and not actually going to try to get individuals screened? Or am i missing something about your value proposition?

I'm not sure how carefully Amazon has or has not been managing their appearances in Seattle, but I'd bet that Seattlites in general have a WORSE opinion of Amazon than the general average opinion across the USA.

GitHub censorship, Code of Merit author's account deleted

It improves every quarter for them. Every time they open a new market they have to spend hundreds of dollars per driver in recruitment incentives. Once they build out the market, they start making positive margin. If you try to grow internationally as fast as possible, that means tons of money on driver recruitment and building market infrastructure before the revenues come in.

If Uber wanted to be profitable they could stop expanding into new markets, kill Kalanick's Krazy side businesses, and would likely be profitable the next quarter.
Even if they make a breakthrough in self-driving cars tomorrow, it could still be many years before laws are updated to enable them to legally operate self-driving cars (without drivers present) in all the different states and countries that they do business in. Insurance companies would also need to be willing to insure these cars before they'll be legal to drive.

To operate self-driving cars, they'd need to buy or finance the vehicles, which is a huge expenditure. They'd also need to hire people to clean and maintain them, since drivers wouldn't be doing that anymore. They'd have to bear the cost of fuel (whether gas or electricity) and insurance, which drivers currently pay for. Once they pay for all that, would it cost more or less than paying a driver who provides their own car? I certainly don't know.

Also, even if all the factors noted above balance in favor of self-driving cars in the long term, it may be a while before self-driving cars come down enough in price to compete with human drivers in conventional vehicles - it takes significant engineering work to evolve a design from a prototype to mass production.

The question is whether Uber can stay in business long enough to reap the benefits of self-driving cars. I don't think the answer is obvious.

People are happy to claim they want to downsize university administrations when the appeal is voiced like this, but another kind of editorial that pops up just as frequently in the opinion press later, they will be just as enthusiastically demanding more counseling for students in emotional quandaries, more university-mediated internship opportunities, more officials providing sexual assault prevention training, more recourse to resolve student-advisor disputes in a way that shifts the power balance towards the student, more varied dining options and a plethora of other goodies that can mostly only be realised with more and/or more powerful admin staff.
Right, because Seattleites are the ones who have to actually deal with Amazon.

The efforts that the OP is talking about are meant to make Amazon appear better to the Seattleites of this universe than it would appear to the Seattleites of some alternate universe in which Amazon wasn't making the same efforts.

That's a wholly different goal than making Amazon appear better to Seattleites than it does to residents of other cities.
Definitely the latter. I just hope to find other ways to influence people's feelings about things like nuclear reactors. If some epic rebranding is what it takes, then that's great. I feel that it will take more than that.
