There is history here that you may not be aware of, it is a constant battle between the IRS and companies. The IRS insists that companies 'break out' any such company provided services on a per employee basis and include the value of those services in the employee's W2 taxable income field.

Once a company reaches a size where the amount of tax revenue crosses some threshold, the IRS starts bugging you. Apple, Google, SGI, Sun, IBM, and Microsoft are all companies that I know of that have negotiated settlements of one form or another.

Strict use of type annotations has to be a team decision, yes. Checking for them can be integrated into a CI build, though.

The typing spec provides for supplementary "stub files" that can be provided for third-party dependencies without their own annotations. The typeshed project provides these for a fair and quickly increasing number of common dependencies, and is plugged into pycharm and mypy by default:

I would like lots of static typing, even more than we have now, but an ability to turn it off for faster compile times during some parts of development.

Right. The substance happens in the last 10% of the article.

...and there isn't any solution or recommendation.

Unfortunately, I think this article is really long way of saying, "There exists p-hacking". I was hoping for more :(
Yeah I feel like I am playing "Where's Wally", randomly Option-key clicking various different things to see what I can do. I guess that's fun for some people, but in my opinion a Menu, is supposed to layout all the options.
Yeah...

Weird thought... (I do not know if thi already exists, as I dont care about crytocurrency - only because I dont have the cycles, currently)

What if there was a crytocoin that was just a centrally mined 'thing' - and the value of the coin was what others were willing to bid on the next coin vs volume of those willing....

Isnt that literally how gold currently works?

So rather than consume billions of watts on bitcoin - just make digital gold?

I wouldn't call it a perk, but it's in the interest of the business to help prevent burnout.
One dog decided that he was in charge of figuring out if people were "allowed" to be in the office and that he should bark if they weren't. I wasn't on the list the first couple days and would literally get barked at if I walked across the office to get water.
Cue massive drops in traffic (again) and news orgs whining about it (again) and blaming the next boogeyman, whatever that is. Probably something something "piracy" etc.

Paying/subscribing for general-purpose news is old news. It had its time, and that time is over. Much like music industry CD sales with the real rise of p2p, news orgs will have to figure out what their "ipod" equivalent is going to be.
While it may be frustrating to novice programmers, the distinction between interfaces (List) and implementation classes (ArrayList) is quite valuable, especially when dealing with huge code bases that have to be maintained over decades. Those declarations help to establish an internal design contract and clarify the developer's intent. In this particular case, a future maintenance programmer could switch from ArrayList to any other class which implements the List interface without breaking the program.
Not sure if I like where this is going. https://software.intel.com/en-us/sgx sounds like drm for code.

Software failures are failures of understanding, and of imagination.

The problem is that programmers are having a hard time keeping up with their own creations.

dynamic typing simply doesn't scale.

Technically yes, but starting a company that you can't work for in any capacity seems even silly to think about.
But what do you do with the payment?

With bitcoin, pay for the computers and the electric bill. With gold, pay for the machinery and the miners. It "has" to go somewhere though.
I've been using them for a couple months and like the service. They send a daily email with a summary of the news and links and I have found they do a good job of curating news.

Only gripe would be the price per article, which I assume they negotiate with each publisher, since it varies widely. As more people us e it I would hope this comes down a bit.
And when you have that black hole very close (or over) that light part, it means that your toxo lesion is over the sport where all your eye nerves go, and then you become blind. Or almost, depending the exact position. Or you are "cured" but keep seeing eye floaters for the rest of your life.
That makes sense. An error-message would have been nice.

Silicon Valley needs to stop harping on the Visa program and simply pay people what they want to receive. It is amazing that an idea can bring in $50 million in investment and they're still splitting hairs on individual salaries. There is plenty of talent stateside - stop bitching about the costs and just fucking pay it.

These cost minimization assholes need to be swept away. Companies are sitting on larger stockpiles of cash than ever before, owing to years of White House uncertainty; they have the money and simply need to spend it. On one hand you hear about how SV is just sooooooo flush with cash and then in the other hand entrepreneurs complain that talent is too expensive. Every single one of those clowns is a fraud.

At least not during work hours, at a minimum.
How much energy does it take to run the US Mint and the US banking industry?
It's far more useful to implement validation and type checking via introspection and interrogation of type, quantity, structure, size, or some other property at runtime in a dynamic programming language than to pedantically have to type all your variables. Most interesting types are far from the basics of different size numbers, string and objects anyway. It's better to trade a fast and quick runtime type error than a lengthy compile-time type checking process, because less code needs to be evaluated at run-time to expose the type error. See the "Worse is better" principle in language design.

Wouldn't it be great if we can use the computer to figure out what the types should be by a runtime evaluation of the code and save precious human time for things only humans can do?

I don't have to think or decorate my speech with types of noun, verb, pronoun, adjective etc. when I speak, but I'm still able to communicate very effectively, because your brain is automatically adding the correct type information based on context that helps you understand what I'm saying, even with words that have multiple types. Granted, natural language is different than programming language but there was once a trend to try and make programming languages more like human language, not less so.
Documentation Driven Development (DDD)
I don't see why Silicon Valley has any obligation to subsidize rural America. Those farm subsidies are only going to go so far but beyond that there has to be some self-sufficiency.
So the article does praise Go, but how is Rust? Does it strike that sweetish spot? Is it a language a startup should use?
When I see the style transfers, I'm reminded of the early days of Photoshop, and whatever else was a commonplace photo editing application of the mid-90s (like Fractal Painter). It was fun to play with the idea of oil painting, or watercolor, or to simulate paper textures. How is style transfer an improvement? Undoubtedly, it's more sophisticated and requires more computational resources.

Can it be used for artistic purposes, or is it only skin deep like those old filters? It looks to me as if this is pure imitation, your images of a night with friends at the street cafe, or stacking bails of hay can look like a Van Gogh when you upload it to Instagram.

Am I missing something?
My best hope is that there will be some kind of OPEC cartel that agrees to limit production. The members could have unused reserves of mining hardware that ramps up when somebody violates the agreement.
Heh... This makes me sad because part of my job is designing these systems, and the reason is because most times the company might not have an answer for you..so they just hope you go away.
I like it in concept. The app is very useful, etc. The issue I have had is that the hardware simply doesn't work.

How much power is drawn by the "ever-expanding" racks of servers powering other stores of value? How many servers are running in the banking and financial industries just to enable non pseudonymous transactions of value?

This article is sensationalist nonsense. I would argue it is a positive point that a globally tradeable cryptocurrency with billions in market cap only requires the energy of a "small city."
Putting the "trust" back in "trustless" using drm'd hardware, is antithetical to bitcoin's design.
Thats actually why subscriptions as a more significant revenue source are important: because of what the pay-per-view model does (whether it's advertisers or individuals please paying.)
Personally, the more I use my cryptocurrency hardware wallet, the more I feel horrified that in legacy systems I make payments by giving merchants the ability to withdraw as much of my money as they want. It's a fundamentally insecure system, made sort of workable by layering on hacks like manual overrides, statistical fraud protection, and banks just eating the losses.
> One of my friends is in an office environment where they play Quake III for an hour a day. This perk is actually a mandatory bonding session

I've been a gamer for most of my life, but this would horrify me as a perk as it's completely exclusionary (which backs up your point)

Imagine being the employee that doesn't play games, it's like mandatory doing office sports
But that doesn't explain why Kafka has any minimum the output required. Does it have usability issues?

A good tool should be able to be used at any scale.
No need to bid.

Just give X amount of coins to every person and newborn for free.
Fixed, Thank you!
Like others I think a well done micro-pavement or bundle of payments would be nice.

One thing I think that is missing from the discussion is metrics. If you do a nice job building the site, and let users give an indication whether they want to see more or less coverage on the topic, you can offer this metrics data back to the news outlets, which can give them far better direction than simply looking at website clicks (which encourages click-bait). This, along with a slice of micro-payments would be valuable to them.

Sur4e. My response was to the comment that 100MB+ files are most likely not text. Like others I just tried to express that there are plenty of use cases for a text editor that can handle very large files. It's just a very practical thing.
Oh, I don't think there's any doubt it would be terrible for consumers if apple bought Sony.

But as I read it, the article suggests it would be good for Apple to buy Sony. And that's a little more plausible. Although history does seem to suggest that such a merger would destroy lots of good bits of Sony, as you point out, which wouldn't just be a shame, but also a rather expensive shame.

Eventually consistent unless you're only using a single node. I believe that Redis itself commits to disk at various checkpoints in time, so if a fail happens, you're really only guaranteed to fail over into a pool of data that's consistent up to the last checkpoint of the node you're moving to.

EDIT: And as antirez said above, you can WAIT to force synchronization to all nodes, so you would be pretty likely to fail over onto a node that has n-1 messages if it didn't sync in time. That still isn't guaranteed however.
Gun violence in America, explained in 17 maps and charts
My first reaction to this announcement is disappointment and "well, it was only a matter of time". I'm going to miss the OneDrive integration which lets you stream whatever music you have in OneDrive. I'll also miss the app itself, although maybe I'm alone there being one of seemingly few that enjoys UWP apps. Granted, Spotify recently released an app for the Windows Store [1], but it's not a UWP app. Rather it's just their regular desktop app packaged up for the Store with Project Centennial.

How to make money with Bitcoin? A must read
Unfortunately there is no need to pay for news articles, there is a need to pay for RESEARCH and MEDICAL papers.

News? No.
The more interesting question is how much per transaction.
Isn't an Energy-Free-Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency having your lunch and eating it too? If you are going to have a cryptocurrency that consumes little energy (or energy consumption doesn't scale with transactional value), how do you secure the network?
Bear in mind that under the hood, how revenues are distributed in a "cable subscription" model can be as simple or as complex as you want.

For instance, let's say you get 10 major publishers on board, and each of them has 25 regional properties. So that's subscriptions to 250 news sites total.

Maybe a third of the total revenue gets split evenly among those 10 publishers, and another third gets split based on page views / engagement. Then one-sixth gets distributed based on Pulitzers or other quality-type metrics, and one-six gets distributed based on number of new subscribers brought in by the publisher.

Then the publisher can decide how it wants to allocate that revenue. It might employ a similar system to decide how to distribute it to each of its properties. Then the editor can employ a similar system to decide how to allocate the budget to clickbait vs. substantive reporting.
Who Will Take Responsibility for Facebook?

I found it to be quite painful for about 10 minutes (the length of the aspiration procedure). Once the procedure is over, I would describe the sensation as "annoying, not particularly painful" for about 48 hours.

Energy used to run the mint is incidental, so lower energy usage can be an attainable target if it's prioritized. The energy wasted from Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a feature and cannot be reduced without reducing Bitcoin's core functionality.
At least on iOS it is only randomized while scanning, not while connecting to networks you have used before. Which is kind of obvious because otherwise your login won't persist.

My perception when I was in was that the Navy was very "top heavy," staffed with useless academy grads that did little and stayed in for the cushy shore-duty [1]. My views are definitely biased (and anecdotal), since I was "lowly blue-shirt," but there was always at least one unfilled billet in my rate yet there never seemed to be an unfilled role for the officers.

With modern web payment models and analytics, advertising is basically third-party micropayments, so it has all the adverse impacts of micropayments plus all the adverse impacts of the bill being paid by third parties whose interests are different from and often adverse to the news consumer.
