I'm not sure exactly what would have been the right markets, but I think that something where legacy compatibility is less important and being open to experimentation and new software designs is more important. So, things like consoles (going up against things like the Cell processor), HPC, or maybe even the embedded space (tablets, etc), rather than trying to use it for the enterprise market as Intel and HP did, where running legacy pre-compiled applications is a really important use case.
Why would you buy into pyramid from somebody else over starting your own and avoiding the risk?
I am of course speaking about my local partofLondon and beenmany a pavement sacrificed to cycle paths and much spent laying them out - yes fetish may be excessive but given some of the plans and work as well as funding at the neglect of pedestrian rights of way, not as excessive in my local area at all.

But that's just my perspective as a pedestrian who has never driven. But I'm all for cycle paths, and do feel that many are just bodged in planning and could be better thought out, though do lament how pedestrians are taking a back seat in funding for this current drive in initiative.

Maybe fashion would of been a better choice of words, least that is how it seems currently.
The percentage of private vehicles on London roads is lower relative to other big cities. London streets are packed with buses, delivery vans, black cabs and minicabs.

The problem is that plenty of people are being told "Those numbers are Fake!" and believe that with all their heart. You can't fight willful ignorance.
They advertise 3-7 business days. For the past 3 months it's been more like ~8-11 business days. Nobody here has unrealistic expectations.

USPS would be much faster if they just dropped it in the mail within a couple days. It would also cost less than fedex overnighting items after waiting 2 weeks.
I would probably really enjoy working for a company like Mozilla where the motive/mission is Generally Good. I'm not easily motivated to go build some silly App or Website to make money for Investors....

But seeing that they're willing to just ditch a bunch of employees scares me away quite effectively. I'd have expected the company to have hired bright, talented employees who could be repurposed and moved to other teams.

I guess even if you're off doing Good Stuff that isn't really a guarantee that you will be treated as a long term investment rather than a gap plugger.
I use vim <http://www.vim.org/> and zim <http://zim-wiki.org> to maintain my collection of notes which are primarily text. Both tools work well on Linux and Windows.

Zim is great if you need some type of markup (ex:- hyper links, bullet points etc.,). Vim is great for plain text.

If the notes are private but need to be shared across multiple machines, I create a private gitlab project.

If the notes are public, I either create a github project or put them on a public wiki where only I can edit. For the public wiki, I am using an account on shoutwiki <http://www.shoutwiki.com> .

If you're a local mayor or something, that might work. Above that level you need the press to communicate it, and they won't bother communicating your carefully thought out message. At best you get a one sentence sound bite.

Problem is you can't gain the experience without a CISSP, for the most part. You have to get lucky that you're either promoted or transferred to a security position. That needs to change at the entry level, so these folks can get the relavent experience. Then apply to take the ISC2 or CISSP....One does not necessarily have to obtain an MSCA or MCSE just to get a foot in the door. You are not applying for a sysadmin gig when starting out. At this point, A+, Net+, and ITIL are seen as the gatekeepers.

>I'm considering putting together and sharing a script that could check your order history and delivery dates. They tend to give a free month of credit for late deliveries, but if I could show them "Well out of 12 months I've had late deliveries every month this year" I should just get the service for free.

I'm talking about that bit.

Edit: I assumed he expected two day delivery. In his comment below he says he understands it's 3-7 and many come in 8-12, so my mistake.

Lovely.

In this sense I've always liked when various layers implement their own checksumming and sanity checking. Don't just rely on hardware to do it (ECC, raid controllers etc). Wrote a database which saves a chunk to disk? Add a checksum with it. Have something that sends data over the wire, send a checksum with it. With disks it's even more fun - periodically read and reverify it as bit rot will slowly eat away at it. Same with backups, verify that your backups can be read and data there is consistent.

It's not cheap and you'd pay a penalty for it in performance so it's a tradeoff definitely. Just make sure to consider it and don't forget about it.

> the roads themselves are a right, or a public good

Transportation is the public good. Roads are one means of providing it, but there are others, like public transit. It's up to the government to determine how best to provide that public good given existing constraints in funds, time, land area for roads and other transportation infrastructure, environmental considerations, etc. They've apparently determined that the distribution of modes is suboptimal, and are creating economic incentives to shift it and better pay for it, but ultimately people will still be able to get places one way or another.
> So you are saying any marketplace (e.g. Ebay) is actually responsible for a merchant using them to facilitate fraud?

No, I'm saying a marketplace that knows, or reasonably should know of an ongoing pattern of fraud enabled and protected by features of its marketplace that does not take reasonable steps to mitigate that fraud but instead chooses to continue to allow and profit from it bears responsibility for it.
Reminds me of the transparent bitcoin ponzi scheme that was pretty popular for awhile before being shut down.

Short answer, yes :)

There are a lot of details and finer points that need to be considered, of course. The quality of the assignments and how the process is executed are big factors here. It's also important for the assignments to have a well defined scope. Having an opportunity to ask follow up questions is also important (also mirrors the actual software development process where the requirements might be a bit fuzzy).

Homework assignments do have an effect on the job searching strategies. It's not ideal to do a homework assignment for 10 companies at the same time, but usually you can serialize the process where you can work on the assignments sequentially.
Works well with HB or darker leads just fine. If you're that kind of person Leuchtturm even makes branded pencils to go with their books.

Amazon, when considering whether to raise the price of prime, probably gathered a lot of information about how consumers would respond. Matte_black’s experience mirrors my own.

When I order something from Prime with 2-day shipping, it’s sometimes late, and sometimes shows up the next morning. It’s fast enough on average that I feel the price is easily worth it. If I really need something ASAP I’ll pay the extra few dollars for the one-day shipping (which would cost a lot more without Prime).

They’d have to raise the price a lot more to lose me as a customer. If there are a lot of customers like me and matte_black, it makes sense for them to raise the price.

By the way, if you do complain about late packages, they will give you a month of free Prime for each complaint or even put $10 as a credit in your account. So if it’s worth your time to complain, you could get Prime for free. It’s kind of like cloud provider who breaks SLA.

In both Oakland and Colorado, I have also seen very poor rates of successful 2-day Prime delivery. Often indeed, the item ships about 5 minutes before the "Item will arrive by 8pm today" commitment (and that message will continue to show well after 8pm and the item has not arrived).

I order things like food from Amazon (Soylent), and I have relied on the shipping. But it is awful. I would say about 50% of the time my package arrives late, by a day or even 3-4 days. It's insane to pay $100 a year for a service that absolutely does not meet its promises. Just call it 4 day delivery and we'll be good.

Amazon Prime is a scam. I'm a loyal customer because there are few alternatives, but they do not deliver the service that you pay for.
I'm not so sure, unless it's a total misunderstanding from the person chiding them.

Sketch doesn't add to final size. Neither does Gulp. Sass and Nunjucks might, but it's a website. They tend to need HTML and CSS.
I also live on an island, and have the same problem getting random items shipped. My workaround is to order from a Marketplace seller listed in the sidebar instead. Normally I avoid them and buy direct from Amazon, but this works surprisingly well.

I've purchased all kinds of 'restricted' things this way, high-power magnets, chemicals, flammable aerosols, commercial-grade fire extinguishers, etc. I think Amazon's rule is mostly based on what can't go by air, since they want all options (ground/sea/air) available. I have no idea what method the third-party sellers actually use but everything shows up in plain brown boxes no problem. Try it some time, and just pay a couple bucks extra for shipping and avoid the hassle.
On my Macbook Air, with Chrome and High Sierra it managed to crash Chrome impressively and force quit and hitting restart failed to do much. I actually had to hit the power button which is kind of unusual on a Macbook.
OK, sure. One of the most interesting long-running issues in proteins is how they adopt their 3D structure and remain stable for such long periods.

Most people would say that covalent bonds hold the protein together and they dominate the overall structure- for example, you wouldn't ever see a strained covalent bond, so you can easily eliminate all structures with strained bonds. This was long an assumption. However, work I did at Google using Exacycle demonstrated that, in fact, large collections of hydrogen bonds can in fact work in concert to stabilize proteins with strained covalent bonds (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pro.2389/full), which overturned the assumption, and made a modest contribution to the prediction of protein folds, and protein design.

Norwegian Airlines Sets Record for Fastest Transatlantic Flight
A favorite "today I learned" of mine is that staircases in medieval castles were constructed with steps of slightly different heights in order to trip invaders. In particular, the last step at the top of a staircase was tall, with the intent of causing a stumble and generating a loud footfall (for those sneaking around) or sending the intruder into the room headfirst (into a ready weapon, in the case of a siege).
That's not what I said - that's not even what I implied. My not "feeling sorry" for publishers or game developers is not the same as condoning piracy implicitly or explicitly.

But since you brought it up, let's go there.

The primary effect of piracy is the loss of sales, which if big enough would naturally lead to the loss of funding for future projects, leading to a studio being closed down. However, very few studios that make big budget games are closing down because of good games failing to become profitable - they're closing down because of politics or they made a game that people don't like.

Even Bioware Montreal, one of the bigger studios attached to a "flop" this past year wasn't closed down because the game resulted in a loss for EA; "Mass Effect: Andromeda" was, per EA, still quite profitable. Instead, Bioware Montreal was closed due to situations largely caused by mis-management (at least, based on what information we have available to us). Most of the developers were even retained.

Smaller, self-published studios would, of course, feel the pinch of piracy more than larger publisher-backed studios. That said, they're also playing in a very crowded pond, and differentiating between a failure caused by piracy and a failure due to an over-saturated market are going to look ridiculously similar. It would take a crystal ball to tell the difference.

Finally, let's be frank: all game developers big and small are affected by piracy, so it's a mostly even playing field on which they are competing. A studio that fails and blames it on piracy is not looking hard enough.

Sorry, there are some rough words there, but I stand by them. I don't condone piracy, but I also accept that it's simply part of the world in which all game developers exist. Reality is not always nice.
Yes my point is that the term "optimal" could be misleading. People reading the document are likely to interpret "optimal" to mean that it's the best business decision. But in many cases it's not the best decision.

So my question (not point) is, when/for what is a 3 part tariff the best choice, when you consider all the other issues (like, what would annoy customers, etc).

In the case of Salesforce, the day I signed up, if there were a significant base cost over-and-above the per-seat price, there's a good chance I would have avoided Salesforce, and Salesforce would never have gotten that (eventual) $300K a year from me. So it seems that their pricing is better than a 3 part tariff.

Coming out.

Before doing so, I closed myself off from all manner of emotion, creativity, and honesty. I tried to be invisible. I closed myself off from people. I lived in my own mind. Being closeted led me to compensate by leading a double life that hurt a lot of people.

But now it's different. I am now doing my best work, I am exploring new things to try and learn, and I have many wonderful relationships that makes me happy to be alive. For the first time, I really feel like I'm living life.

I don't use Facebook, so I have never seen that "Are you sure you want to deactivate your account" dialog before. That is truly a marvel of psychological warfare aimed at the user.

I am in awe over the sentence claiming, "Your ... friends will no longer be able to keep in touch with you." This gives me—a non-user—some insight into a phenomenon I see in Facebook users: a belief that there are no other forms of communication left in this world. Facebook inculcates and continuously reinforces a notion that other communication media are not only uncool, but essentially don't exist. To Facebook and its true-believer users, there is no way to email a friend. No way to write a personal blog entry. No way to make a phone call. No way to use any other means of communication. It's Facebook or living in a cave. You don't want to live in a cave, do you?

Even the less true-believer users will be conflicted about their inability to stay up to date with their 1,700 Facebook friends, apparently unwilling to recognize that no one has 1,700 friends and that life can be very fulfilling without hearing trivial updates from 1,650 people you had a passing contact with some time in your life.

But whatever. I don't mean to argue here that anyone should stop using Facebook. I'm merely recognizing that cancellation dialog as a triumph of user hostility.

How Booking.com Runs A/B Tests
Over the course of several companies, I have noticed something special regarding China (in the context of expanding there, from a western country):

1. You inevitably hire a local person to handle this market.

2. Because of the combination of language issues and timezone differences, communication suffers. All of your communication is via your one local person.

3. Your Chinese country manager decides that the Chinese market is significantly different from every other country in the world, so your product needs to be rebuilt to address the local market. Fortunately they can hire lots of people very quickly and relatively cheaply. You don't really have any insight to say whether they are right or wrong.

Comment: I feel this tends to be a combination of a) empire-building strategies and b) ignorance of the rest of the world, and a specific assumption that China is special in some specific way, which often turns out to be false.
I run the US office of a German startup. I'd add the below:

1) Issuing employee equity across countries is difficult: There are good US solutions to prevent employee equity/ option holders from needing to pay taxes before liquidity, and similarly for good German solutions to the same problem. Getting these two systems to "play nice" with each other is challenging.

2) Time zones: If possible, I'd think about time zones when expanding internationally. SF->Europe is brutal (8-9 hours), which is a major reason we put our US office in NYC. I wake up at 6, check email, and have half a day to work with the Germans during their work day. If I were to be on the West Coast, even by starting at 6am it's already 3pm in Germany.

3) Visas: A good option for international companies expanding to the US is an E-2 "investor" visa- these make it easy for employees of the foreign HQ to come over to the US for a few years as long as the foreign company is investing substantial money in the US organization (I think over a couple hundred $K is enough)
