That's not similar at all though. When you're working with rows/columns of numbers, the sort of tabular data people are working with, excel is an insanely efficient UI solution. Widget based solutions can't compete with that.
Unless it's changed in recent versions Excel isn't threadsafe, so using realtime updates is something that works 99.9% of the time and blows up the other time leaving no evidence behind it when it comes to audit.
They are trying in the US as well but most the apps are garbage and no one uses them. Uber (and Lyft) are ubiquitous now and I think there would be a much higher adoption rate if they licensed it. Most companies also do not want to be in app development, if you could just buy software that works and focus on the core of your business companies would be much happier. This happens in giant enterprise-y businesses today. They consistently overpay on software that just works and lets them get along with their actual work.

But as I mentioned above the taxi industry is only the first immediate one I'd tackle, there are plenty others.
>In theory ICE could check this out, but sanctuary city policy is to not cooperate with ICE, so my guess is they did not have immediate access to this information.

I don't think this has anything to do with sanctuary cities. I am convinced they had easy access to his info:

"As a young teenager, Carrillo automatically became a U.S. citizen when his mother went through the naturalization process."

That means USCIS had everything -- his SSN, fingerprints, photos, (even though from his teenage years). Could have been trivial for ICE to check, if they wanted to.

You're right in that ReasonML syntax is a bit of a moving target, but I think it's part of the initial pains of their effort to provide an approachable port into the ML world. The syntax should stabilize eventually. The maintainers are aware of the churn they are creating, and have deemed it worth it.

That being said, I have a bunch of old projects written in Reason 2 (which still work; the tooling has preserved perfect backwards compatibility[0]), and recently started a new project using the new Reason 3 syntax. It was easy enough to pick up the new syntax in about a day. I haven't done it yet, but my understanding is that it's completely automated[1].

We are talking about Linux kernel here. There are billions of embedded processors running Linux on other than ARM and x86.

S390X (IBM mainframes) and OpenPOWER variants are fully supported by Ubuntu and those are not insignificant market either in banking, finance, or numeric computing.

One reason why Linux runs all Top 500 supercomputers is because it they have number of relatively recent systems close to the top running Sunway (Alpha derivative) , Power and SPARC64. Fastest supercomputer today runs on Sunway.

That's how long it took for impeachment to begin. The actual break-in was reported on NBC by Robert Endicott on June 19th, 1972, two days after the crime was committed.

Up to this point, the news media hasn't seen any actual evidence of a collusion. To quote Adam Entous, who writes on national security for the Washington Post, "Our reporting has not taken us to a place where I would be able to say with any confidence that the result of it is going to be the president being guilty of being in cahoots with the Russians. There's no evidence of that that I've seen so far." [0]

I keep hypothesizing that using a website or software to somehow promote pedestrianism would be helpful. You don't even need to promote it as fighting climate change per se. You could promote it as how to save money on gas while improving your personal fitness.

There are probably other creative approaches. But I would try to think about what's their motivation. What is in it for them. Moralizing tends to not have the best track record for promoting the changes we would like to see. It tends to just force "bad behavior" underground, which can lead to worse things.

Of course you can but most taxi companies do not want to be in the app development business. And most other ride hailing apps are not very good. They'd rather focus on their main line of work which is transportation. People know Uber, that app works, people would use it if it was available.

The subsidizing is what made them a household name, along with the ease of use.

Does Ubunutu need to remain on the laptop after the driver has been loaded?

I'm aware that you're working on a distro-agnostic tool. In the interim period, however, if someone with a System76 laptop wants to use Fedora while still disabling ME, can they simply load stock Ubuntu/pop_OS long enough to install the driver and disable ME and then wipe the drive and reload their OS of choice?
I've never seen two consistently created Excel workbooks. There is a lot of wheel inventing going on in the Excel world. It's possible that a more formal system would have less duplicated effort. It's also possible that doesn't matter.

"Everything takes forever because you have to write requirements" is a feature of software development. At the end you get software that does something that you (presumably) understand. Excel is a gold mine of undocumented terms, processes and functionality.

It's fast to build but don't pretend it gives any of the benefits of proper software development processes. The value proposition is in fact that it has none of those guarantees.

> Even then you have to worry about glibc symbol versioning.

Symbol versioning will actually permit the binary compat (unless you have a rather clueless approach), and not break it by some kind of "oh my god I don't know what is this black magic and I would rather not be bothered to learn anything about it even if it is my job to release binaries people can run, so let's just forever rant a little about symbol versioning and pretend GNU systems are hard to target".

Now in order to release a binary which will work on multiple systems, obviously you can't rely on symbol versions that are only present on some of those systems but not all.

If you intent to at least test it on those targets (and well, you... should? ) then obviously you have access to them and obtaining a toolchain on the "oldest" one is trivially an apt-get (or equivalent) away.

Basically, if you want the simplest worryless solution that will work 99.9999% of the time: you build your binary there. Done.

You might even be able to find some compilation flag or something like that if you insist on building on a recent distro, while still targeting old ones. I have not checked; I would if I had to do that.

Yep.

> and since USD is used to buy stuff they will want to have USD on hand to buy stuff when they want to

Nope! Starting from a position of only having BTC (because you've already got rid of the USD you had, and you immediately convert any USD you receive into BTC), what is the advantage of buying USD to spend instead of spending your BTC directly?

I got it that you suggest the governments (all of them, authoritarian ones included?) to interfere by making some legislative decisions. But what exactly should the government(s) decide upon?

Just saying that $company_name has to be "transparent" and "responsive" doesn't mean anything on its own. I was interested in how you suggest to achieve those feats (read: enforce them)

So here's the problem I see: for the the accountability and transparency you suggest, to decide if Google (Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Baidu, DDG... is it really a monopoly?) does things right or wrong governing bodies must invent some rules how search engines should work. Surely not a full set of algorithms (that would be an unprecedented disaster) but a set of constraints on those algorithm outputs.

And it has to be an extensive ruleset. I'm sure it's not enough to require that e.g. a registered trademarks must be the first result on exact query, or that querying for Tiananmen Square gets no results. It has to decide for what happens on the intermediate positions, what has more priority and what's legally irrelevant and mustn't show up any high. I think that would be just bad - too many ways to abuse this system.

I thought of also not writing any legislatures but doing some ad hoc rulings, when judges decide what's fair and what's not on the case-per-case basis (basically, civil vs common law), but I'm not sure if that would work any well. In such theoretical scenario I just foresee the insane amount "sue because my site is 5th result and I feel it's unfair to be anything less than 3rd place" cases. That would quickly escalate, judges would end up inventing some common criteria, and we're back to the abovementioned scenario, just sourced differently.

You're correct, it does discount the impact on his life because that impact, however emotionally compelling, is irrelevant to the point of the subthread. Which is that, short of literally destroying it, money is never 'pissed away'---it simply moves on to someone else. People often confuse the benefits (and moral implications) for the spender (which are often pretty clear, as in this case) with the broader economic benefit of the transaction to the economy (which is much less clear). Ie, "someone made a bad moral choice in spending their money, so that must be bad for the economy." Not necessarily.

I understand that that is the point you're making.

The point we're making is that it does not matter what you want. Given the opportunity to hold deflationary currency instead of inflationary, (all else being equal) rational actors will prefer to hold the deflationary currency.

This is economics 101 indeed.

1) We are focused on the data lake. We love MapD, they are doing kick ass stuff, we are focused more on operating on information from disk and from cloud storage services like s3 or hdfs implementations.

2) We read parquet files into our own caching system. We often use arrow apis though do not rely on arrow for our data representation.

3) We have made client side benchmarks but have not performed a standardized replicable benchmark for people to validate yet. We have been a VERY small team to date and are going to make that available as soon as we can. You CAN launch AWS marketplace blazing instances to see how it performs.

4) You sure can. A large part of BlazingDb's focus is on distribution. You can add nodes during runtime.

I understand that there are taxi companies worldwide and I'm sure they operate different by different types of people, but I still think you're overestimating these taxi companies and what they want.

I worked for a very big "Old Media" company in Australia when we rebuilt one of their key properties. Their "definition of success" was to _not accelerate the rate of decline_ of page views. Since then I've realised that these types of businesses are ran by people who are motivated differently than 'us'.

I remember in one of Vernor Vinge's science fiction novels, whenever one space-faring civilization managed to capture a warship of another unfriendly civilization, they usually just melted it down for scrap metal because there was no way to trust all the embedded automation.
Note that at this time, bitcoin is still very much inflationary, with 1800 new bitcoins being generated every day. This puts the annual inflation rate at 4.01%. Source: http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/

Perhaps real deflationary effects of bitcoin will probably kick in after 3 halvings (about 10 years?), when the number of bitcoin that is being lost naturally becomes greater than the inflation. However, at that stage, bitcoin fees would need to dramatically increase from what they are now.

This is probably a paradox of deflationary crypto-currencies: They need to raise revenue from fees to pay for validation/security, however if there's more incentive to hold rather than spend them, their revenue raising ability becomes constricted. Whenever this is true, I'm excited that we'll find this out in the future.

I've always hated the idea of IoT, but I've always wanted a Network of Things. And they should obviously have a well-designed automatic dumb-mode fallback.

I don't need a lot of the connected features, but I want them because I can see their usefulness.
>So?

That's a big problem because you need to force people to do something. How are you going to force someone to not use an asset that benefits them over an asset that does not benefit them. You have to convince them to use the inferior asset because it benefits society. That's hard to do in reality because most people are selfish by virtue of human nature.

>I'm sure you know this, but this is exactly the opposite of what behavioral economics has shown.

Really? That's news to me. I think you are confused by what the science is actually telling us. It is telling us that people make bad decisions because of biases. The person was still thinking that they are doing something the benefits them but due to these biases they make decisions which are not rational in hindsight. The science is not telling us that people make non-rational decisions on purpose. PBS NOVA did a good documentary on the topic called mind over money.

>rue, but if your currency is gaining value, you will be less inclined to spend that currency to start or invest in businesses, e.g.

I find nothing wrong with that. If businesses want the money then they will need to provide exceptional value to the customer as always.

Betrayal at the House on the Hill is a pretty social and friendly game. It gives the illusion of making choices, but usually the right one is pretty obvious, and everything after that is pretty random, so anyone can win. It's rare (though possible) for someone to die and sit around waiting for half an hour.

Much of that makes it frustrating for extreme gamerz, but for people who aren't invested in complicated rule sets and deep strategies, it's perfect.
I met my wife on match.com After using at least 5 different dating sites over a 10 year period, one of them finally paid off.

for all the single guys out there, looking for a GF, here's the strategy. Write a script to copy and paste an intro paragraph and message (make sure to customize it to the profile) every girl you can possibly find, that meets your requirements. It's just a numbers game, the more you play the lottery, the greater the chance of winning. And you only need to win once, for it all to work out. Of course, these days, I expect, there's a lot more captcha's and robo detection mitigation to overcome - I mean it's preferable to bar hopping. But, I bet with some machine learning, you could optimize your response rate.

The need for incentives is true, but the community has—erroneously, in my opinion—conflated 'incentive' with 'currency'.

Follow this:

- The core technology here is a crypto-backed distributed ledger. We call this the 'blockchain'.

- You need a unit of trust to enable the blockchain to work. We call this unit of trust a 'bitcoin', or to be more precise, the smallest divisible unit thereof. (1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC)

- These units of trust have value, which also gives you incentive to create ('mine') them.

If we stop here, that's all well and good. The problem with 'bitcoin' and the currency argument is that we're basically going back to the barter system. Instead of gold or foodstuffs, we're trading one good (a unit of trust) for another (whatever you're buying with BTC). Then, on top of that (and as a result), we've created a speculative commodities market in BTC. There's no true scarcity here.

This is why the arguments get so confusing. I could transfer any currency on the blockchain and get the so-called benefits of bitcoin: immutable transactions, low transaction costs, etc.

Then you also get gems like this, from the article:

A more radical idea is to use digital currency, issued
and supervised by the central bank, at the retail level
to replace physical cash.

What percentage of retail transactions today are in physical cash? What percentage of USD holdings (bank deposits, etc.) can be backed up with physical notes and coins? (Hint: not 100%). USD is already a digital currency.
