Obnoxiously, I've seen some sites start using JS to block users in Incognito mode. (For example, MIT Technology Review -- technologyreview.com -- does this on their article pages.)
Or we could create simple evidence-driven tests of ability which could be taken at any time, and which would pre-qualify people as competent; and then we could hire pre-qualified people mostly sight-unseen. You know, like in any trade that isn't infected by the professional-licensing meme.

I dunno, the Insight looked pretty weird, with it's Citroen-esque covered rear wheels and its super-sleek exterior. But otherwise... I see where you're going with the "make hybrids/electrics look different so they'll gain cred" but it seems to be belied by most manufacturers' "here's a weird-ass dork car, you won't buy it right?" thing. Even the Bolt (which I'd argue is one of the better-looking non-Tesla EVs) is kind of klunky-looking.

A few weeks ago there was a post about Crowded Cities, a startup trying to train crows to pick up and throw away cigarette butts in the city for a food reward. I'm sure it'd be harder, but could crows also be incentivized to somehow pick up rats?

>The aren't as software-based as many people make them out to be.

What does that even mean? Has Uber made a single physical product? To the best of my knowledge they do not. Yes they may have to balance wages of drivers which is arguably not easy, nor is it easy to balance human labor(capital) costs in any industry.

They are a marketplace for retail transportation.

I agree that driverless cars could sink their ship if they're beaten to the market first. Self-driving cars are about many years away contingent on the legal system being the way it is today. That could change.The biggest problem to self-driving cars is insurance/liability ,the areas that they are going to be used, people's ability to change/adapt to them.

What people don't understand is that the most population dense places, where uber and other ride handling services are predomimatly used, happens to have many pedestrians and the shittiest infrastructure.

I think even talking about self driving cars is a gigantic waste of time , borderline buzzwordiness of 'machine learning' and 'artificial intelligence'. At least those buzz words are being used today. We are nowhere near a level 5 standards.
TFA == "The Fine Article" so refers specifically to the Erlang Garbage Collector.

"Semispace" is one term to refer to the family of garbage collectors that Erlang's derives from. The heap is divided into two spaces, hence "semispace"

So Go's GC is neither. Go's gc is tuned for lower latencies, and that tends to rule out moving collectors (there are ways of having incremental moving collectors, but they complicate the runtime a bit).

Documenting business logic works much better via Spec files - if you have BDD test files Given/When/Then format, that'll go a long way in describing functionality, in my opinion.
Yes, it would.

In the real world requiring "payment up front" for all contracts isn't really feasible. A lot of low-margin businesses live or die on the cash flow terms of their contracts.
He should be mad. The idea that what you are professionally capable of needs to be proven or accentuated with spare-time projects is nonsense and needs to die. What someone does with their personal time should have no bearing on their professional life - if all of that spare-time coding sharpens their skills, that should be self-evident during the interviewing process and give them an advantage anyway.
It lasts up to 10 days on one charge and the app has been decentralised, meaning it's not reliant on external servers.
In regards to learning Cantonese, I have no immediate plans to learn Cantonese and would rather continue learning Korean. But for the next block of foreseeable future I've decided to double down on Chinese/Japanese so that I'm not just maintaining, but am improving them.

As to which is more fun to speak. This is difficult. I really enjoy both. I think because I have spent more time with Japanese people, and I find their culture to be a bit more wild, I have more fun with Japanese. Japanese are often conservative on the outside, and much more liberal/wild once you're on the inner group. I also find Japanese people to be more willing to hang with foreigners while Chinese are a bit more cliquish.

Though much of this I strongly feel this is largely in part of my lack of long experience of living in China. I have noticed that the more I am in China and around Chinese people, I start enjoying it more as well. But at this point, it all just feels "part of my life", and I'm sure some of the appeal of Japanese was biased as it was my first major foreign experience.
Amazon no longer reliably has the lowest price on items, instead relying on the reduced friction of Prime to get people to pay more.

Amazon also has questionable quality and reliability these days with co-mingled inventory, 3rd party sellers, and reviews that are impossible to determine the authenticity of.

Please enlighten me as to how "consumers will only benefit."
Things like visa checkout, probably with browser integration would work well. I wonder if mozilla could push forward with it, as I doubt chrome would be okay not getting a slice of the pie from the fees somehow

I wish they had an emulator for each that would display values visually as close to the original as possible. You could then test them each out to see how the following result is displayed:

It varies widely. They’re not Pokémon; there is no need to catch them all.
Neural Net accuracy scales with the amount of compute you have available at inference time, and for vision models it is largely the amount of compute you need (NLP models often require a lot of memory too), so while you could probably squeeze something onto a raspberry pi, you would probably have to sacrifice frames per second and overall performance.

I think for a hobby project bundling an accelerator is the right choice so that hobbyists don't have to worry so much about performance.

The same way that a raspberry pi really is overkill for almost everything people do with them since you could do the same with a microcontroller with no OS, someone could probably squeeze something onto a raspberry pi without the accelerator, but that's going to be far harder than just getting started with the high level APIs.
In those terms: With the ride subsidies, it's likely that current CAC is higher than CLV. Since there isn't much customer or driver loyalty, the customer lifetime doesn't matter since raising prices will likely lose customers.

You're not going to get a company sharing many of these specific metrics because they're competitive secrets.
But what if the contract is "I will give you $X in three months time in exchange for Y% equity in this entity"? It's not unusual to enter a contract that obliges you to pay money you do not yet have at some future date when you do expect to have it.

If your contract system doesn't allow that then it isn't a very useful contract system.
Maybe just skip the game sites.

Go to github, find a project that you find interesting and relevant to your position.

Take a look at the open bugs and try to fix some. Even if you don't feel comfortable sending a pull request you can learn a lot by going through the whole process on a real project.

Alternatively, take a look at the recent commits and what they fix...

Even worse, that seems to be an optimistic estimate -- I don't think it's accounting for how Uber's ability to charge monopoly prices for self-driving car service will be temporary. Other services (from Google, Chevy, etc) will come on line and drive down the extra profits from not having to pay for drivers.

Sitting around and waiting for rats to show up sounds like more of a waste of time. I can point you to several locations in my neighborhood where I know rats live because I see the tell tale signs, but 99% of the time I actually don't see a live rat scurrying about openly.
Now this isn't specific to the NYT, but the NYT has absolutely been guilty of sensationalism: https://medium.com/the-mission/the-enemy-in-our-feeds-e86511...

That's different than uncomfortable challenging, comfort zones and so forth. Here we see misleading headlines to drive traffic.

Next, I lean left and yet found the NYT obsessively copycatting Democratic institutional thinking: supporting corrupt NY Mayors, relentlessly defending lost Presidential candidates despite nefarious behaviors, and in years past as Chomsky demonstrates, beating the drums of war in foreign policy. I found them obsessing over race and gender divides, even if it meant eclipsing greater threats. Transgender policy and statues, in. Redistribution of wealth to the rich... too complicated to obsess over.

They've run negative coverage on people I admire, like Chomsky and Sanders, because those buck the trends within a fractured Left.

Next, I live in NY and find their local coverage heavily biased with stories of the idle rich. I'd love to send examples of this, but I'm pretty sure I have one article left to read this month.

I pay for a 15 dollar a month, Kindle subscription to the Financial Times because of the thoughtful, in-depth analysis, sometimes with multiple viewpoints in different articles on one topic, and a FAR less American-centric information resource. When it comes to politics, being culturally myopic is a sin that the NYT is in my unhumble opinion guilty of.
How often do you actually read through the code, trying to understand what's happening and you need english language? Once you read an english description - do you still often have to look at the code to understand what is really happening? //complete purchase process - what does that mean?

Works if you're serving a static webpage; doesn't work if you're serving, say, a private chatroom. This is what decentralized execution environments like Ethereum seek to solve, but running an Ethereum node on your phone is not the same thing as actually serving a private chatroom from your phone. In fact, Ethereum is much closer to the cloudlet side of the spectrum of solutions, insofar as your client (the phone) is just sending commands to a computer "somewhere else" (in this case, ~everywhere) that then acts as the server.
I agree. They even included a charity poker tournament.

Your caption examples are what made me think of the photo metadata, other content/context you could include in the photo. However, the user's own captions are probably more meaningful (and easier to implement ;). Photo metadata might be low quality or wrong if the image happens to get transcoded somewhere in the pipeline from camera to MMS to mobile carrier network to your service.
FYI - not trying to market any product here. Wombat (though closed-source) is free to use for small sites / hackers - if you just want to run it with a couple of phones, or play with speech synthesis/recog, it will take way less effort for the dialing part than brewing your own.
It's not free if you want to fill 500 channels, but I doubt that's what people here are going to do.

I wrote this a while back on a similar article complaining about technical interviews:

Med school is difficult. An internship is difficult. A fellowship program is difficult. Undergraduate degrees are a rubber stamp, CS included.

There are 20k oncologists across all fields of oncology within the US. That's also about the number of engineers Google employs. Most other industries we like to compare ourselves to are leagues above ours in individual merit. My father is an oncologist, and I'm reasonably confident he has some familiarity with every genitourinary oncologist in North America, Australia, and Europe. More importantly, he's on a first name basis with all of their educators. When he needs to hire a new doctor, he doesn't post an ad on health stack exchange. He makes an offer to a specific individual who he already knows.

One thing that we as an industry fail to understand is that we're not special. We desperately claw to it in these conversations. I'm willing to admit it: I'm easily replaceable. Very few of us have any name recognition that exists in other fields. I worked in finance for half a decade before moving to software. When I'd go to interview, people already knew who I was because of the basic human interaction I had as part of my job. When I walk into the door of my next interview, the only thing people know about me is what's on my resume/blog/stack overflow answers.

Personally, I find technical interviews to be a cheap and easy filter. You may not always get the best person from your pool of applicants, but you get someone that's better than most of them. The marginal benefit of one vs. the other is rarely meaningful.
> A blockchain simply wouldn't let you write a contract that says "I give $X in exchange for Y% equity in this entity" unless it could prove that you have ownership of $X.

A blockchain absolutely would let you write a contract that does that, and it could be on purpose or by accident. If you want to be sure your contract doesn't accidentally or maliciously do that, you have to audit it ahead of time because once it's executed, you're screwed. There's no judge who can come in after the fact and nullify some of your contract provisions based on fraud or mistakes or conflict with existing laws or other totally reasonable considerations that aren't explicitly coded into the contract ahead of time.
