How to Avoid Being a Bad Contract Developer
Waymo is doing more than building an autonomous vehicle, they are building a trusted brand. Admitting the problem is hard and periodically presenting small milestones builds credibility. When Waymo does release a general purpose car, I'll be far more likely to trust it than a Tesla Autopilot.
I think that's because your connection took a bit to load the webfont, so the page was first rendered in one font, then rerendered, when the preferred font was loaded.
$0.60 for 380MB seems unreasonable, though. I think the GP was calculating based on the quarterly period.

Other than with Facebook's messenger, your WhatsApp social graph is in your phones addressbook. If Facebook's WhatsApp service were to be gone tomorrow you could just install the next biggest messenger and beyond minor initial fragmentation all your friends would still be there.

This wouldn't work with the Facebook Messenger, since this social graph is not stored by the user.

You indeed did not understand this. (Error lies partly in author's lack of specifics)

The problem is; we taught Google how to look for whatever information we seek by seeking it. We taught it that we are too stupid to include location information in our searches. We taught it what is spam and what is not. That's our "not spam" choices accumulating as a service over time. That's our own translation suggestions. We gave them away freely.

And now that we would like to back off and reclaim our knowledge and our mutual effort to make Google the giant it is, we can't. We are already anonymized and productized. We can't reclaim the spam filter we helped create and run it on a private server. We can't take back the combined translation efforts. Our own places and exploration data is Google's forever, with no way for us to learn from it.

What is sad about all this is that Twitter got its start as a sms relay, and sms has long had a system for stitching multiple messages into a singular long one. But rather than adapt that system early, Twitter now insist on dreaming up their own...
California treats capital gains as ordinary income.

In particular as they could just as well have lifted the inline signaling that sms has for stitching multiple messages together to form a long one.

After all, the start of Twitter was as a sms relay.
I always send plaintext emails. HTML mail continues to be nuisance. You don't need fancy formatting for daily text communication. But I can understand why marketing people like it...
> From a quick glance this seems to be a tool that helps with the task prioritization and distribution.

That's correct. It's similar to Jira and Trello, but instead of letting people have free roam on what task they work on, the system assigns them work according to the prioritized task list.

> What are the other 2 icons for?
The other 2 are Bitbucket & GitLab.

> but I believe this could work very well in other businesses too
It is definitely applicable to a wide variety of audiences. I focused on SW devs because that's my background, and I thought that focusing on a single market would allow me to better communicate the message. But it seems I've got some work to do anyway

I've had a lot of trouble trying to articulate the value that Comb brings. I'm not sure if it's because I'm trying to make it look too much like marketing fluff. Do you think that more specific examples would help?

Thanks for all the feedback! It's really valuable
Uber strikes me as a company that'll spend a ton of money, try it out for a year or two, show off a few prototypes and back off once they see how hard it is. In the meantime they may produce a few vehicles with flaky autonomous capability that will hopefully not get anyone killed. The company has money, muscle, and can-do drive, but the company isn't rooted in nerdy tech the way Google is.

Makes far more sense for Uber to license Google's tech and integrate with vehicles.

I think this is all about establishing a new distinctive look.

"If you have an incentive mechanism that says, "Do X and you get Y money" you're going to spend X<Y amount of economic work to get Y money."

That assumes you know what Y money is worth, when in reality you don't.

If you do X then Y money is worth X by definition because you won't let go of Y money for any less than X value in exchange unless you are forced to.
For some reason Twitter had decided to attempt to make their page behave like a UI rather than a forum or similar.

Thus we only get a single linear reading, and it wastes space by being presented as a floating "windows" above the main page.

Never mind that it is damn hard to see the full image, as no amount of clicking will actually make it fill the whole screen. Only bringing up the tweet "window" and then right clicking the image gets anywhere close.
Didn't Disney predict "fierce backlash"? How could they expect journalists to turn their back when one of them is intimidated?

A non-psychopath PR answer to embarrassing investigative journalism should involve creative attempts to minimize the gravity of the problem, to look good and to confuse the issue: Disney PR managers appear to have learned how to do their job from gangster movies instead.
>The problem is that the overwhelming majority of vim scripts are written in vimscript.

And thank god for that. Vimscript is an actual scripting language. Lua is... not.
What would be the point? You'd still have to create an account and give out your email address.
Also, the challenges involved in "scheduling, routing, supply-demand management, optimal vehicle distribution, pooling" are far easier to replicate than self-driving capabilities. Don't think this'll be a huge challenge for Google to do themselves.

The title of this post, a true statement removed from its context, attracts readers like me because its implied meaning has considerable shock value. Of course, Dr. Hipp didn't help matters by naming his experimental fork "SQLite4".
I was recently surprised to find out they if you deactivate your account, FB gives you the option to keep Messenger. Might be an option for you or OP.
I backup this. I've been using SQLite for some low to moderate load CRUD apps, and this always worked like a charm. SQLite also make backuping, testing and moving apps so much easier.

I disagree, not even bold face is needed for effective communication. Besides, if you send me a mail with all these features, it will either not be displayed at all by my mail program, or as garbage, or, if you're lucky, as plaintext.

But a markdown formatter that sends the plaintext part as markdown seems like the perfect solution for both worlds. I don't mind reading markdown, it's designed for being readable, and I also write it often.
I installed vim a while ago. It updates with the rest of my system, whenever I do a @world update.

The question isn't whether someone should feel compelled to switch. The question is why would someone use neovim?
And now a 'database error'. Coincidence? I don't think so!
This is the company that dreamed up lists, only to hide them behind multiple layers of UI rather than provide the ability to display them in columns front and center.
>For me the biggest selling point is the plugin architecture, I've been a vim user for over a decade now, and I'm only writing my own vim plugins now, because neovim allows me to do that in the language of my choice (ie. not VimL).

You've been able to script vim in languages other than VimL for a long time.

I have no idea why you would want to, though.

Even if Rust is at parity with C in terms of tooling and ecosystem (which it probably will be in a few short years), SQLite is probably not high on the list of software to rewrite in Rust, given its fairly high quality. Let's rewrite the vulnerability-ridden ones first.
Certificate validation don't involve UX friction. I need this friction to be justified, and it the sync is very slow new comers will never bother to be a full node. Give people instant sync, and they won't consider light wallets anymore = greater overall security, ready for any censorship.
The only sensible way to do it is to locate all parts still licensed under GPLv2 and ask every copyright owner alive (or their estates) to relicense their contributions under GPLv2+ or rewrite them from scratch licensing them under GPLv2+.

And convincing Linus the rewritten versions are objectively better than the old ones.

In NYC, another large cost is the real-estate to park the vehicle when not in use (~$300/mo). This could presumably be reduced or eliminated as well.

Picasso was a virtuoso artist from child:

His later experiments with style were not an artifact of lack of talent, but conscious artistic experimentation.

Sadly, modern artists try often to skip the mastering the basics and just start to splat color on canvas.
>The alternative of an H1B is not an American. It's off shoring the entire project to a team that doesn't live in the US in the first place.

This is fairly obvious, but do Americans not realize this? Or are they consciously saying that its better for high paying jobs to move out of US than for foreigners to work at those jobs in US?
Rewriting in Rust would not make any sense, sure.
But rewriting in a faster and safer language, like Pony or ATS might, esp. for lots of CPU's.
I didn't say better. I said "more powerful" and I said that in terms of expressive power.

C#'s type system is usually better except from the times that I feel creative. Works perfectly for large codebases with many changes. Not fun for side-projects.

"Indeed, many of the seal's details, such as the intricate weaponry ornamentation and jewelry decoration, become clear only when viewed with a powerful camera lens and photomicroscopy."

This suggests that 3000 years ago human eye was much much stronger than today and could see details that we are unable to see today.

By Haskellers. Those people are incorrect in this.
But there is another side to the story. I quit Facebook many years ago in 2008 because I disagree with their ToS. However, since then I lost contact to many friends far-away. Sure, FB feeds are not really "contact" in any meaningful sense, but they still allow you to get a glimpse at what's going on in their lives. Another things is that I've lost the opportunity to use FB to market my German sci-fi novels to friends and acquaintances.

Anyway, these disadvantages are not high enough for me to return to social media, that's for sure. Social media have essentially just become a data mining business, and there is too much that can be read off social graphs. They are a real long-term danger to society, IMHO.
Your situation is not as unusual as you might think. I have had similar clients too. Yes, multiple.

In my experience it isn't mental illness, just totally disorganised. Key management are probably jumping around and never completing anything. If you look around you might see that your project is not the only one that is being stalled by people not delivering their components.

There are two things that you can do. Put everything in writing. Ask for the images, CC the relevant manager and the stakeholder. Give deadlines and specify the consequences of any delays on their part. The second part is to invoice weekly and itemise all the extra work you had to do to chase late delivery of material.

AND make sure you get paid on time.

If you don't get paid time, send them a warning and then follow-up with a letter (hand-delivered if necessary). If that doesn't work then FIRE the client. You can only put up with a little aggravation without getting paid. If they want to be jerks, make them pay for the privilege.
Yeah but then he'll have to deal with the lawsuits and the bad rep when it all collapses.
As a Spacemacs user for over a year (and a neovim user for a few years before that, and a vim user for a few years before that), I find that spacemacs does a good job of emulating vim keybindings, but it isn't exactly right. Having neovim handling the keybindings and communicating what actions need to be taken back to emacs would let me have the great flexibility of emacs' plugin system, while retaining the vim keybindings in as authentic a manner as possible.
That is also my impression, and it scares me that they have been so aggressive getting something "autonomous" to market.

If flaky products are released that end up killing drivers (or worse, pedestrians), it'll set the entire self-driving tech sector back 5 years or longer.
Logitech will intentionally brick Harmony Link devices next year
Also, with expensive drugs I would worry that counterfeits could be introduced within Amazon‘s warehouses by workers, or within the postal system. Open a package, extract the original, and put the counterfeit in. For drugs that are worth hundreds of dollars per package, why not?

I expect pharmacies to double check everything they buy, and I somehow doubt Amazon will be able to ensure safety when the package is handled by 10 different people. If they develop some kind of (digital?) package seal, I might change my mind. Or every pill container has an RFID chip and is verifiable with the supplier‘s public certificate.
Website Personalization: What Is It and How to Get Started (with Brennan Dunn)
The author is a known critic of the demonetization policy. This was a complicated decision and it is still unclear whether it worked or not. I personally know a lot of business owners and merchants who really hate Modi for this move - which I feel is a good sign given these are the very people who kept the so called black money hidden from the govt and were negatively affected. Of course, the GDP would fall given economic activity got affected at the grass roots level.

That said, there were some benefits 1) people would think twice before hoarding onto cash and keep it hidden from the govt 2) more people would use banking facilities as the govt basically forced a lot of people to create bank accounts and deposit cash there for easy tracking. Also, there are long term tax benefits for the govt too given now it has a snapshot of who exchanged how much black money (in old notes) with the new notes. As such, the answer isn't black or white here.

Neovim has sparked a dream in me, that every IDE in the future will have a "use vim" instead of "use vim commands", that will litterally use neovim, and give users the modal power and their preferred setup of vim combined with all the niceties of the given IDE for profiling, debugging code combined with the GUI features.
Beautiful! I agree 100% with it.

I don't know of a better idea than a system of checks and balances between gov, private corporations, and the people.

The thing is each of those serves useful functions so it would be harmful to eliminate or neuter any one of them.

So it seems clear to me there is a lot of value in a division in power between all three. But the trend has been towards more government power, and to more private capital in fewer hands.

I'm sure there is a better way than having this framework, I just don't know if anyone has come up with it yet.
