> Winnie-the-Pooh brought joy to readers, but misery to the Milnes [...]

[...] and, functionally, a constitutional amendment to the United States. Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh annual merchandising revenue are said to be north of 5 billion dollars a year. As much as the mouse, preventing the escape of the bear has paid for two copyright extension acts, defeat of various constitutional challenges and copyright reform attempts, support for US adoption of the Berne convention, and for TPP's Investor State Dispute Settlement provisions (aka regulatory capture insurance - "if we pay your legislature to get us a windfall, and you someday change it's mind, you'll have to reimburse us for our lost windfall - it's only fair"), and for a multi-decade press PR campaign.

While the bear remains in bondage, so long will copyright law remain unable "[t]o promote the progress of science and useful arts". Free the bear! ;)
Is anyone inside the plant talking about what's wrong? That's what I meant by "leaks".

(Back when newspapers had real reporters, some reporter would go to a bar near the plant, buy some of the guys a few beers, and listen. The recent stories about Tesla are all from press releases or CEO interviews.)
As you've noticed, the pricing model is totally different for Cloud Firestore. Link for others reading:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/pricing

If you're concerned about price per GB stored, Cloud Firestore will be much cheaper than Realtime Database (0.18/GiB/month). We evaluated many use cases when deciding on prices and we believe developers will be happy with the new model.

However since Cloud Firestore charges by operation, it's important to evaluate your use case when thinking about pricing. For example if you're running a fleet of IoT devices checking in a few times per second with very small payloads, you'd be doing a lot of write operations with very little storage and Cloud Firestore could be more expensive in that case.
Isn't this because prostate cancer is already far less deadly at this point? Both by rate and absolute numbers. Most men will get prostate cancer if they live long enough and we are constantly improving treatment.
You're totally right, I'd go back and fix that if I could. Funny how a few months learning a new framework can make you forget how normal people talk :)

Why not try to keep it growing. are the server costs getting to high?
So the question becomes how hard is it really for someone to offer something similar for the same or less (free?), or a dedicated side player for one of those offerings?
It's pretty amazing what they were able to accomplish with aqueducts so long ago.
Sounds interesting, but is there any independent description of what it cannot do, or what would be hard to do?

I just noticed it's much easier to understand a new datastore by reading its limitations (usually carefully omitted from pr articles or documentation).

For example, I suspect that Firestore must be built on top of Spanner infrastructure, as it's the only way to get usable cross-datacenter many-row transactions. And Spanner's limitation is it's high price. And if it's not Spanner, but more like Cloud Datastore or the old Megastore, then there should be limitations on transactions.

Sounds amazing anyway, more datastorage choices is always better for the world.
>, but at least we don't have to subject the consumers of our frontend to it unless they opt in.

Right... but if your project gains huge awareness (or "notoriety" depending on perspective), someone else can replicate your work and show the bad bytes. (Because the urls are still there in the blockchain.) Unless I'm not understanding the architecture, the project would have escaped your ability to control it.

> We have one for evil too.

Not with a well-defined meaning. Go ahead and try to nail down a specific definition of evil that includes only "heinous" moral crimes while excluding "non-heinous" transgressions. I guarantee I'll be able to drive 15 trucks through the holes in your definition.

And without a rigourous definition, people are way too cavalier in labeling others "evil", which is simply not conducive to progress.

> And for certain things, saying 'morally wrong' is downplaying it. It puts casino cheaters and Auswitz guards into the same conceptual spot.

No more than the word "fall" places sky diving and tripping into the same conceptual spot. The differences in degree aren't so nuanced that people will struggle to grasp them.
A wave is a thing. I think what the commenter meant consciousness is a property, like red is a property. Red is not a thing. Things can be red.

So, some quick things: every Rust compiler is a cross-compiler, so that's not the tough part. You need to compile 'libcore' for the target, but https://github.com/japaric/xargo makes that pretty straightforward if your chip isn't one of the ones provided by the Rust project, if it is, then you just need to run a command to download it and you're good to go.

https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html is said target list today. AVR is coming soon, it works but has bugs and is hacky.

Japaric is quite prolific, he writes over at http://blog.japaric.io/ and his latest posts are about his RTOS-like framework.

Finally if you're into ARM, https://www.tockos.org/ might be up your alley.
A little tasteless, but it might have been an attempt to prevent high-frequency trading bots from freaking out and selling.
I think that the issue isn't the questions themselves, it's the interaction that results. Student: "why is my Java application crashing", "That's a stack trace. Does it say anything useful?", Student: "No I don't see anything.", It looks like we aren't seeing the whole trace. Have you scrolled up?" etc... the more this goes on, the more it feels quite awkward even if the result is positive. Maybe I'm bias having been on the receiving end in the past.

I've changed my approach by not letting things get out of hand. If I notice that the process is taking a long time or someone gets frustrated, I either let them know about the process or just take a different approach, like just answering the question. The challenge is that, at least in the research setting, I often don't know the answer either. So if the student thinks I know the answer, and I'm just asking them questions, it comes off poorly. So I'll let them know I don't know the answer either, and that we are working through it.

I wouldn't call GPU intimidating, more a royal pain in the butt! :) The approach of simply saving state doesn't work very well due to performance reasons. I.e. If user is "editing" some of 5-10 million+ vertices, via some sort of brush tool that runs modifications to vertices through a GPU shader, then saving the state becomes a big no-no due to the huge delay in copying the entire current state of the vertices back to the CPU. This results in a short (but unusably irritating) pause, before the user can use the editing brush. Well just copy the bits you are interested in you may say, but there is no way I have came across to save only regions of the vertex buffer that the user "touches". There may be some fan-dangled way to save the "operations" not data, and then run them through a "reverse" shader, but I have a feeling that is overly complex and subject to inaccuracies. Darn, GPU's are fast though.

I can most certainly say that in Ontario, Canada, a non-compete agreement barring one from working within their field of specialty for such a long term as 1 year, and at any location, is unenforceable. That would approach a human rights violation. Work on!

Yeah. I hate cigarette smoke with a passion but don't care if e-cigs puff all they want because it has almost no odor and little/no noxious particles. Therefore, it makes sense to tax the heck out of cigarettes and place them in anti-marketing packaging, and perhaps subsidize (no sales tax/VAT) e-cigs. Cigarettes are engineered to be as addictive as heroin, but Prohibition is never a good solution, so the best compromise is something like e-cigs which solves both harm-, litter and nuisance-reduction.
Very well-written article that left me with a sick, sick feeling. I am glad attention has been brought to this blatant crime.

NightMKoder is right on, that article ("What color is your function") sums up exactly how I felt, trying to learn JavaScript after knowing Go.

It's bitten me quite a few times as well. Maybe I will try this read-only approach and see how it goes. I agree that it won't help against corruption on the SD card itself, but I suspect that most of the times the SD card has been corrupted, it has been due to power failure (or bad power supply) combined with writes at the same time.
Yep, the thread is about naming. Without saying why it is hard, we're just trotting out tired clichés.
I don't think they forgot the lessons. Its just that the allure of quick money is just too great for many people. I think this might be why a lot of people get addicted to gambling, for instance.

In this case, I think most people are aware its a bubble/ponzi scheme and are trying to "beat it" by making the most profit and getting out ASAP before the bust.

I worked at Garmin previously which is definitely a big company. On my team I don't think I'd have had trouble convincing management that it needs to be done or otherwise been able to sneak it into other work. I'm concerned that as a profession we're too accepting of "well management won't let me do it" even when the consequences are high. To me it feels like designing a bridge that will collapse and kill people just because your manager said to.

We try to be honest about what the product can't do natively and provide best practices, take a look at the "solutions" section of the documentation:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/solutions/

For example Cloud Firestore can't do native full text search, but we made sure it's easy to integrate with a search provider like Algolia.

As for your guess about Spanner, you're right that Cloud Firestore uses the same technology as Cloud Spanner to ensure consistency at scale.

Would love to know what you think about the product once you've tried it!
Everyone is dumping on this, but I, for one, applaud their daring to try something that doesn't look like every other SaaS brand out there. (And besides, Box.com already beat them to that.)

So your argument is that because e-cig users are coming from one harmful product, that we should do nothing to prevent the new product from causing undue harm, and that eventually (decades?) e-cigs will become safer because someone (who?) will eventually phase out the harmful ones?

Why not stop wasting time and lives, and prevent the harmful ones from being produced/released?
If that frightens you then you shouldn't sacrifice yourself working expecting some kind of future pay-off.

Live around your work, so you are working to enjoy life now, not in the future.

That doesn't mean "slack off" or "can working", it just means find hobbies you enjoy and dedicate yourself as much to them as your work.
A similar thing happened to my mom with her mother's estate and the fight with her 4 siblings. Two vs Three basically.

Pretty much a decade-long court battle since grandma died that only ended earlier this year, but really it's been a fight in court since 1989 when my grandfather passed away.

All the money was basically stolen by one of the children and her mafia-associated husband. My aunt's outbursts in court had both her and my 73 year old mother thrown in jail for months for contempt of court and the other siblings used that time to sign all of the remaining assets into their own name. Highly suspicious about the judge involved and there's currently a review of his actions wrt the case going on now.

Honestly, if there is money involved and you have siblings you don't agree with, you have to be prepared to either walk away from the money and your family completely or to kill them, because honestly it's less hassle.
Yeah, the text is really weird, I had a hard time reading any of it. The letters just seem too wide, out of proportion. I almost wonder if I have an extension blocking some adaptive-text-resizing script or something, because it doesn't seem like they'd actually want it to look that way...

Personal anecdote: I was never a cigarette smoker, but I started vaping because I tried a friend's vape once and liked it.

I am a pretty serious athlete. Vaping - whether it was 3mg or 0mg e-juice - fucked with my lungs pretty badly, and caused a noticeable drop in athletic performance. Also made me feel way less motivated to lift weights and train, which I chalked up to the instant gratification of nicotine. When I did lift weights and train, I always felt like I wasn't able to give 100%.

I quit, but goddamn it was a pain in the ass to quit. It's not even the nicotine I miss, really, so much as it is the whole experience. The heat, the vapor, the flavor, the habit.

Friends of mine that have switched from smoking cigarettes to vaping e-juice have reported an increase in cardiovascular capacity; but as a non-smoker that started vaping, I definitely noticed decreased performance.
Semi-related, I was reading a book called Wetware - A computer in every living cell, and it mentions about William Grey Walter, who created simple robot 'tortoises'.

There's some intriguing videos of them - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQE82derooc from the 50s.

I'm just trying to find some schematics at the moment, it sounds like they used vacuum tubes.

Obviously Grey Walter's robots will be far more simplistic, but I found them intriguing.

The OpenWorm project is really cool too, I'm curious how well their model maps to reality now, whether it's possible or will be possible for the simulated model to produce near identical movement to a real c. elegans under the presence of certain chemicals.

The space we bought wasn't that expensive from a company perspective, and it was an educational experience. And maybe it will draw us attention.

(2) Holy crap, it's really impressive a dapp like this is possible with Ethereum. If it hasn't sunk in yet how this thing works, really read the FAQ and stop to think about it. As shazow and ontoillogical said, "there's no backend!" and "It's immortalized!"

This not realistic. No one serious/big will use it in production for the next 10 years easily. There is no certainty that it will be mainstream OS ever in the future.

You will see thousands of problems next year in production that was not seen in testing today. Linux has millions of users and millions of use cases and edge cases, so many drivers written specially for it, tested and proven to work. Stability and maturity is the key for OS today. No one will trade that for some unproven hobbyist OS project.
