Zelle is not really the same thing as what WePay does. Zelle is peer-to-peer payments, competitive with Paypal, Square Cash, Venmo, etc. (P2P is a term of art in the industry; it's not P2P in the Bittorrent sense. :)

WePay is about providing payments infrastructure to marketplaces and crowdfunding platforms (Lyft, GoFundMe, etc.). WePay are competitive with Stripe's Connect product (disclaimer: my employer). Braintree and Adyen also have similar products.

Congrats to the WePay folks. I hope this new chapter works out well for them!

It's subjective. Big benefit I see with Go is that you get a fast language (comparable to C++ and Java) while still being very productive to work with.

We actually did try pypy for a few parts of our infrastructure. It's better, but for what we tried only 2x faster.
The article mixes its message a bit between automation/disruption/capital. One couldn't really say that Uber is in the business of automation. The capital/labor distinction is more productive, but since it is derived from marxism no one actually uses it.

I'm starting to get the impression that this genre of "technology gone bad" article is starting to be a safe surrogate for talking about class. The muddling of terms is actually a feature: one can avoid the dirty reality of class by framing it as an inherent feature of technological progress, which, of course, is a good in-and-of-itself (unless you're a dirty commie).

I think the same is true of immigration: low class people blame their poor condition on immigrants, rather than their class standing.

Type errors/misuses aren't my biggest problem and Go's type system isn't very powerful. The Python code is smaller, more expressive, easier to review, etc. I have more confidence in the correctness of pylinted Python code. I wouldn't jump to trade conciseness for compile-time type safety, particularly for applications, because it's easier to create/not see a logic error in heavy code. And depending on what you're doing, Python's type system may be more powerful/appropriate.

We use Nix which is much nicer than pyenv/virtual environment, but it's still a pain compared to Go. This is mostly due to Python's runtime model, and maybe also the tendency for Python applications to have very tall, broad dependency graphs.

Working with nix is also not very easy; docker might fare better here, but probably just a lateral move. In any case, Go outclasses Python on deployments. Also, my company is looking into compiling Python as a means of code obfuscation; Go compiles by default, which (modulo stripping) is probably enough obfuscation for our purposes.
Oh, definitely - I t’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Not only does the US give Boeing huge tax breaks, but the defense expenditures are calculated to subsidize the commercial aircraft program.

Unfortunately for us Canadians neither BBD or the government has the means to take on Boeing and the US respectively. My only hope - and a slim one - is that Boeing is permanently frozen out of defence procurement here.

What Is an ICO Anyway? A Few Theories
Google wave is an example of what works well with a central server: you have many documents that can be sharded across many instances because each document only needs to be consistent with itself, and your throughput limit is therefore only per-document which is more likely to be bounded by the number of participants that can practically interact in a single document.

There is still the issue of a node becoming hot because there is an unusually active document on that node, which would usually not happen in a completely decentralized model.

It seems likely that the A319 is dead and Airbus will rely on the C300 for that segment.

Also, don't forget the China angle. The Chinese state-owned Shenyang Aircraft Corp is a major partner in the C-Series project. And there's a C-Series technology sharing arrangement with another Chinese state-owned aerospace firm. I don't know what kinds of relationships Airbus has already built in China, but they're about to get much stronger.

IIRC, Boeing built global strategic relationships for it's 787 program as part of it's out-sourcing strategy. That turned out to be horribly inefficient and a bust. But from a _political_ standpoint I imagine it's been quite successful. Of course, Airbus pioneered the strategy of using multinational sourcing for primarily political reasons, but it looks like they're poised to take it to the next level--Airbus might be on the road to effectively being a domestic manufacturer in Europe, North America, _and_ China.

It's depressing how many people aren't interested in understanding how and why communism failed, and what we can learn from that. The conclusion is always just "capitalism and communism are the only two systems that exist; communism didn't work; therefore capitalism is the best and only way to run things."
You've got me there. I've only been to Seattle once and was promptly exposed to the lively harbour area as that's where we arrived by ferry from Victoria. I mean, there's a ferris wheel! And it was night so it was all lit up. Toronto has some nice features, for sure... maybe it was only the difference.

The Gardiner Expressway is a notorious design flaw with criticisms spanning decades -- people just rely on it too much now to change it. Though it's now crumbling and needs repair, there are some propositions for beautifying that area.

The rail lines have been there for a very long time, though in different spirit, maybe.

This whole conversation has reminded me I haven't spent much time down around certain parts of the waterfront in a long time. The expressway is a major psychological block for a lot of people. It makes it seem so far away. In seattle it felt like a short walk from halfway up downtown because of the features all along the walk. Walking beneath the Gardiner here is not a thrilling experience for a downtown. That's one difference I can note for sure, if we're to compare properly comparative regions of the cities.

I like using a 1 Megameter per millimeter "planets view" (Earth is a blue marble; Jupiter is a striped ball; the Sun is an adult-sized white ball).[1] So you can google for lengths in km, trim 3 digits, and draw in millimeters.

I think people become meek when they have no common culture to participate in. And of course, they 'follow the rules' which we Canadians do very well.

Even thought most folks have some 'imported' culture to which they can belong and which gives them identity, it's rarely going to be common enough - or prominent enough - that it gives them any swagger or anything.

To your point: sometimes people make pop songs about Montreal, not so much Toronto, although Drizzy has been doing some calling out ... I just can't think that he's authentic.

Toronto reminds me a lot of Singapore these days: ex-English colony, well managed, secure, but no real culture of their own or swatter.

CPython doesn't really have a "stream mode" like `perl -pi`, but you could easily make a pretty trivial wrapper to do it if you found yourself wanting to duplicate that functionality. I'd much rather use sed or awk in your specific case and similar, but to each his own.

I'm surprised to see Go's error handling listed as a disadvantage. Go encourages writing good error messages, and that's one of my favorite things about the language.

To get a sense of it, take a look at a failing test in a language such as Python that uses asserts for testing and compare it to the equivalent written in Go. Quite often, the error message in Go will be clear and to the point. On the other hand, I've seen plenty of assertion based tests in other languages that report inane things like "1 != 2" or "true != false" when they fail.

Go encourages putting the effort into this up front. It pays off later when things go wrong and you want to know why.
With CRDTs log entries can be purged once they synchronize with everyone, no need to keep them just in case. Although it's rather implementation specific.

+1, the title is absolutely a spoiler.
This is really interesting, because if I understood it correctly, WePay was basically a layer that sat on top of Vantiv's PayFac and made it easier for businesses (SaaS) to take payments on behalf of many merchants. In other words, let's say you setup a SaaS called "GymSAAS" that billed monthly fees (and took cut of each transaction) and your client was "Globo Gym" . GymSAAS could use WePay to collect the money for Globo Gym, take a cut and then pay Globo Gym every month the remaining amount. Using Vantiv's PayFac, it means you skip the tedious process of assigning a new merchant account for Globo Gym as they get underwritten in the industry of "gyms".

So what does this mean for Chase? Do they gut all of the plumbing out with Vantiv and move it over to Paymentec for processing? Does Paymentec even have a PayFac capability built into it?

It's conditions where most market participants believe future returns are inevitable that often lead to the biggest corrections.

> I don't think that stuff has any place at work.

Companies are often intensely political; artificially pretending neutrality internally while actively working externally to influence the political landscape to me is more bizarre than being open about politics in the office.

If a corporation actually is solidly neutral and inactive politically in it's external actions, then, sure, the internal environment should reflect that.

> it's insulting to employees who may have an opposite position politically.

I don't see how that's any less true of a company's external political activism.
Non-preferred shares often sell at a very deep discount vs. the preferred shares offered to investors. As you get closer to IPO, they have to converge in value at 1:1. This is how startups can grant options that are nominally in the money on grant day.

> As more money moves into index funds and ETFs, only the best active traders will survive.

That’s probably fine. I don’t see why active traders should get any money at all from outside sources other than venture capital here and there when they have a proven opportunity to scale that’s bigger than their market cap can fund. And those opportunities should be an easy sell to almost anyone with restless cash.

Why should good traders be rewarded with sales? Good traders can make their own money. The only traders who need sales to survive are bad/exploitative ones.
Why can't they offer the same quality/reliability at $40 for say 250GB ? I value Dropbox quality sync, but i think they will have to lower prices sooner or later. And let's be honest, it's not that Dropbox is flawless, even when using just syncing i had my share of problems over the years that i used them (since 2009).
The CSeries is a regional jet. The market it's aimed at is serviced by aircraft like Boeing 717, BAe 146, Embraer E-jet, Fokker F100 and Bombardier's own CRJ700.

Most of those are now out of production or nearing the end of their production run, which is why new, cheaper to operate designs for this category are being developed (Embraer and Mitsubishi are also developing new regional jets).

The funny thing is that Boeing doesn't even have a competing product in this market!

Is Facebook listening?
I am a white collar worker. Today at work I said to a coworker some days I wish I could go back to driving a forklift. I’ve never searched forklift driving jobs as it’s completely unrealistic I’d give up on my current career to do so. Tonight on my Facebook wall there is an ad for foreklift drivers wanted. This is the most concert example yet I’ve seen that Facebook is listening.
Thanks for pointing this out. We also support the IAPF. The images they regularly post on their Facebook account are really shocking and sad. The current rate at which these large animals are killed is frightening. We supported more political organizations for a while (like WWF), but it seemed to me that investing directly in armed protection is currently more effective. I wish that the poaching situation would be recognized as a problem that needs military intervention by nations.

Thanks, I did address that when I said you can solve it if you know all actors in a n-n system, but I should have been clearer by pointing out the solution, which is (as you already said) every known actor acknowledging it.

There's no way to know. It crossed my mind too to wonder about that. I would like to think that an African-American man, or woman!, who had done all the same things would have wound up in the same position. But I don't know that we're there yet.

The problem I have with invoking "white (or male) privilege" is that it tends to depreciate the person's accomplishment, and even to make them feel guilty for it. If they have done something to demonstrate prejudice or encourage it in others, that is fair game for criticism. Succeeding at something, in and of itself, is not, even if you think it was easier for them than it should have been.

'Corporation' isn't exactly a living thing that it will have sentiments of its own. People essentially make up the company, and those people have emotions based on how the profit needle and their stake in it moves.

Most Silicon valley companies depend heavily on immigrant talent and resource pool to keep the perpetual billion dollar start ups coming every year.

If your political sentiments are in deep opposition to what brings in your salary, you already have a very broken view of your life in general. And a company executive expressing any sentiment isn't going matter much, if at all.
It's Airbnb for disks. Maybe not the perfect analogy, but I think the idea here is to just capture latent inventory that is otherwise being wasted. It's not about competing on margins, but activating latent resources that are sitting out there completely unused.

It's pretty crazy that life started on Earth about ~4 billion years ago, almost as soon as there was liquid water, but the Cambrian Explosion didn't occur until about ~0.5 billion years ago. Really makes you wonder what the heck was going on for three and a half billion years. Also, maybe it's an indication that life is easy to come by and exists in every little nook and cranny in the Universe, but complex multi-cellular life is a larger hurdle.

The problem is that from what Gassée says, the are behaving in ways that work against Lean-style continuous improvement.

It's sort of like saying, "Why can't you just clean this enormously messy code base up one bug at a time?" Sure, you can in theory. But it's a very rare project that does it. Even places that do total rewrites often eventually end up with as big a mess as they had before. Why? Because the real problem is the ideas, relationships, and habits that got them the messy code base in the first place. That is extremely hard to change.
I hard second this.

I've seen this before. If you're into media, arts, operations, design, whatever -- it's a great doc.
It opens up the language to embedded use cases like with PICs or other esoteric targets which don't fit the flat memory models assumed by modern languages including LLVM backends. When your memory model requires banking or any other form of non-linear or non-paged access, you're often in the proprietary C compiler with language extensions territory.
In the other direction, I'd like to see food labels list "miles" instead of "calories". I'll look at something that's 250 (kilo)calories and say to myself "that's an extra 2.5 miles I have to run" and dissuade myself from eating it.

The amount of energy in even a small amount of food is rather remarkable.
