There's only so many ways to do the toy problems that people get assigned.

Students code winds up looking like their sources because they copy the control structures because there's only so many sane ways to do those problems without introducing fluff.

At least this is what my friend's experience using plagiarism checking tools was.
I gave up online vacation reservations this year.
This is the second time I wasted hours on several portals before I've found one that worked in a decent way and had a useful choice. When I've finally found a destination, I tried to book the trips I've found and they all have been "sold out". When I tried the same criteria again, I got the same results but more expensive. Again sold out when I clicked any of them. Did it one more time, same results.

Went to a travel agency in a mall nearby. Got a better price and even some useful hints as where to go to when I'm there.

I'll be back when you have that AI travel agent...
The track record of EU legislation is generally rather good and based on feedback I have seen that in particular American companies have on GDPR it's already succeeding in what it's there to do: raise awareness of data not being an asset but a liability.

We will see soon enough how this plays out. From where I'm standing I'm very welcoming of this development because it's the first time I see an actual attempt of companies doing something that is in the interest of the customer when it comes to data.
Heh, I’d have thought you of all people would be on iOS 11 beta by now, where scrolling speed is now consistent between normal pages and scrollable iframes (which is what AMP uses). Or are you referring to a different scrolling problem?

I used it quite a bit when I was in China for things other than messaging. Have to say it was a great experience, it works with literally EVERYTHING. You walk on the street - bam the bagger is using wechat QR code to ask for donation. A large number of normal people I encountered don't even use their wallets anymore - menu on wechat, mobile payment on wechat, taxi on wechat, utility on wechat. It's something that after using it, you know there's no way back.

There are certainly multiple ways of doing it. I'm curious, do you remember if the specific quartic had a nice "trick" to the formulation? I played with it a little and couldn't see anything that would cancel in a nice way.

I try to avoid using quadratic solutions in code because of numeric instability issues. Granted I never implemented the direct solution, but the number of opportunities for catastrophic cancellation gave me shivers.
While I am usually an outspoken critic of Uber, I feel this is an unfair portrayal of that situation. If I owned a ride hailing service, I would protest the same law.
What the law actually says is important, not just its impetus.
I suppose I'm not the target demo. But I'm not too interested in buying anything from the man in this video.
It's a mess.

The English word "curse" (swearing or evil spell) appears not to be derived from the Latin "currere" (to run).

These are though: course, current, currency, recur, concur, incur, cursor, cursory, precursor, cursive, excursion, corsair, corridor, corral, ...

An argument might be made that the verb form of recursion should have followed the existing excursion pattern. Which is to say, excursion is both the noun and the verb form, as in to excursion (excursioned, had excursioned, excursioning). Just replace "ex" with "re".

Interesting: etymonline presents a view that horse might also trace back to currere: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=horse

Hey, look; this is is also very handy: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=*kers-
This could probably be used to do some sort of code analysis and give people ideas for how to structure their code differently.

It sounds like you're talking about cyclomatic complexity.

There are tools out there for most major programming languages for measuring cyclomatic complexity. They can tell you whether typical coders will be able to help you work on your program at its current complexity level.

Not that I think writing a feature-complete shell is “easy”, but pipes, specifically, were the main feature of this shell implementation (besides reading, forking, and executing).
I really shouldn't bite, but by advocating for a white, christian ethnostate in a multi-cultural society, there remains the question of what do you do with the non-hetro, non-christian, non-white population.

Unless, of course, you believe white nationalists are honestly arguing for a peaceful, consensual "final solution" to that question, and that they would never act in violence to achieve their goals.

But that just doesn't seem to be how they roll.

For example, in Portland, the murder of Seraw didn't happen in a vacuum, it was wildly lauded by white supremacists and it gave rise to local SHARPS / ARA (somewhat of an ideological predecessor to today's "Antifa") factions in Portland who eventually ran the white supremacists out of town:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulugeta_Seraw

And more more recently:

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/08/29/man-who-fired...

It's not hard to find examples of this sort of behavior. Again, the "both sides" argument is pretty disingenuous when one side advocates genocide.

I've said what I want to say on this, and will assume you are either trolling/willfully ignorant or are sympathetic to the white nationalists. I've seen this argument play out dozens of times online and don't care to take it any further.

The idea of getting people to subscribe to your product looks really good to your investors these days -- once you get people to start the subscription, they are likely to keep giving you money, even when they don't really want the product anymore because there is some effort in canceling it.

I am NOT saying anything bad about the DSC, I love the commercials, but you have to wonder about a company who's business model is intertwined with subscribing to a product.
Well... if it's worth $X when it vests, you pay income tax on $X. If it's worth $Y when you sell, you pay capital gains on $(Y - X), presuming you held it longer than a year. If it was less than a year, you pay income tax on $(Y - X).

At least, that's my understanding. I'm not a tax accountant, though. This is not financial advice.
Can we agree that if any founder makes a statement comparing themselves or their vision for their product with Steve Jobs and Apple, that they are automatically disqualified from being funded? Steve Jobs was one of a kind. If you are like Steve you don't have to say it, people will figure it out.

Speaking from direct experience in the west, pretty much contemporary Google.

In Seattle, a similar phrase I've heard is "I've invested quite a bit of ego in X" when one challenges assumptions about X.

All IMO of course...

Again, distinction without a difference. Is it a "funding allocation" if I was going to spend $100 on a night out but choose to donate it instead? It's both. And still just as much a donation.

>Is this to say that the decision to take action is based on perceived investment opportunity rather than something that is explicitly sold as an investment opportunity?

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but that is not my reading of it. I believe he means that tokens for applications that gain value from the activity of users, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, would fall outside the definition of a security, while tokens of applications dependent mostly on the activity of a management team to earn revenue, like the DAO vis-à-vis Slock.it - which the SEC concluded was expected to manage the projects the DAO voted on - would fall within the definition of a security.

Not sure how the values for a taxi license compare to a NYC "medallion", but Brazil does have expensive licenses as well. Anecdotally, most taxi drivers I've met rent the vehicle from someone else (don't have hard data on that right now, though).
Can someone actually comment on the issue in the article instead of dropping random anecdotes? Sounds like a bug rather than a dark pattern?

EDIT: The submission title said something about Booking.com using dark patterns but it has been changed now.
Somewhat related household tip:

When something wooden cracks or breaks and needs gluing, but you don't have any wood glue at home, you don't need to buy any. Just dissolve a sheet of gelatine (which you do have, no? :) in a bit of water and warm that in a water bath for five minutes. Use a brush to apply some of that to both glue sides and press it firmly together. As an added bonus, these glue joints become soft at ~50-60 °C, so can be fixed up later again. Structurally, it's pretty much as strong as any wood glue.

Legalization and regulation. Require a license and periodic reviews. Just having easy, legal, sex available means a lot of the revenue dries up, which makes it harder to run the illegal operations.

Subscription model businesses are actually pretty good businesses if you can service a genuine recurring need with a genuinely good product at a reasonable price point.

I order diapers for my kid on a subscription. As a consumer it works great for me since I didn't have any upfront one time cost like $700.

The problem I see with Juicero and its investors is that the machine is not unique, it is redundant, the investors were clearly blinded by the founder's pedigree to overlook the simple clear fact that the machine was not needed and the founder was delusional to think the machine was needed.
Maybe I misread but apparently the company is offering refunds up until Dec-31 to anyone who purchased one of these.
Have had a Miele vacuum for over 25 years. Still works great, rarely use the rotary attachment. It was about $700 though.
I think it's the video signal coming out of the camera.
Yep, I've seen that, too. There are some use cases where IBM still excels. There is a popular perception that IBM is a has-been dinosaur, especially with the System z (mainframe) stuff, but I still haven't heard that Visa International has moved even one of their three world-wide super data centers off of that platform. The Linux world could avoid reinventing a lot of wheels in the future looking to the lessons IBM has publicly published about in the mainframe world. Even POWER/AIX is scoffed at in many Linux circles.

I've certainly seen my share of underutilized System p servers, but in the right hands, they're a powerful option, with features that Linux still hasn't caught up to yet. For a cool feature that I would love to see on Linux someday, peek at checkpoint-restart, which enables some really sweet capabilities [1]. Generally, anytime I hear a business tell me uptime reliability is nearly a blank-check requirement (when downtime losses are described in 5+ figures per minute and up, and it is a 24x7x365 operation), but they must still stay on a Unixen box because that is what their IT shop knows, and it's not a parallelizable application, I start looking in AIX's direction. It can be a right PITA to work with if you grew up with Linux or BSD, but once you figure out some add-ons to use, it gets much more pleasant to use.

Yes, it's AOL, powered with guns and tanks. You are making my point.

It's all in the one app because there is the state in the background intervening to make it so. But dictatorships are not market validation.
There's actually a few different ones.
Your point is valid, but recently here in Canada there was a recall on contaminated flour. Can't remember if it was anthrax or E Coli.

Your eyes/nose won't pick up bacteria in the flour.
That's because the one in the store was picked three weeks ago in Mexico and shipped to you. Remember when certain foods were only available at a certain time during the year? Me neither.
But then at least you build equity on the car, right? Also, if you already own a suitable vehicle (which is arguably easier than owning a medallion), you wouldn't need the mortgage?
It's a FOMO machine.

I use it to find places, filtering by "wifi available", and then contact them directly.
They're called "frames" because Bill Luciw used them like KR frames when he built the Intelligent [sic] Assistant. Built-in dictionaries/hashes weren't a common feature of languages at the time, so I had no better idea what to call them. :) I thought the minimum set of data types you'd need for a usable language is primitives, arrays, and records; frames are how you do records.

Provide a tremendous amount of value through the product that will lock one (or both sides) into your platform. Example, credit card merchants provide buyers with fraud protection, improve cash flow, rewards points.

Alternately, create a marketplace that is focused on high margin, episodic transactions where customers don't feel the need to dis-intermediate. Airbnb is a good example.
HoneyDue seems to be more like "Mint for couples" than a straight up splitting service. The goal is transparency.
Since we are on the topic of idiom, this one rings true: “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down”. Unless you’re the boss of the company you rarely stand to profit from problem solving or creative thinking — and usually speaking up will be detrimental to you in some way.

Are American companies that different? The few places I've worked software engineers didn't get bonuses, only the people in sales did. Software engineers are seen as a resource.
