I was imagining somethjng like this as well, but unfamiliarity with iOS made me wonder if possible.

Personally I think the issue is slightly overstated (or I'm just not popular enough and get fewer notifications) but my use pattern usually would naturally lead me to ignore such notifications by turning them off completely. Only messages get a pop-up for me on Android (or banner in iOS) and for large group chats they only get buzzes or noises.

Maybe iOS and Android can have a priority group you can set for instant delivery and then hold non priority notifications until a period of inaction from the user, adding an small delay.

But really, the occurrence rate seems pretty low to me from my workflow. And I live on my phone at work.
When I was 17, I spent the entire year playing Leaugue of Legends, I wasn't on a good period of my life, but league helped me cope.

I think that taking it away from me would have made things worse instead of me suddenly becoming very good socially. Next year, I went to college, met new people and stopped caring about League.
I (and many of my programmer friends) believe this to be correct; and moreover that city is Austin, Texas. There was basically no need for Austin to be a finalist; I don't think the city was particularly interested in getting them (we're already booming and most folks are already grumbling about increasing property taxes and congestion etc.). They already have a pretty big presence in Austin and are expanding rapidly. I'm 99% sure this was a cheap stunt to get some kind of incentive/subsidy from the City. I'm actually very glad there is little popular support for their proposal.

It's a business getting a payoff - worse, it's getting government assistance and Amazon is getting unfair treatment (if they give Amazon a x% tax break, they should give that same tax break to all other businesses currently in that jurisdiction + anyone wanting to start a business there - else they're unfairly giving Amazon an advantage, which is bad for competition)

Its not a strech. Not showing videos released from terrorist groups, might be a valid strategy. After all, terrorism is a means of political communication through violence. When you remove one of the most potent channels of communication, you could remove the ability of these groups to 'terrorize'. Albeit, in times of facebook youtube and twitter this is not possible anymore.

So theoretically, a valid idea. Practically not possible and maybe even counterproductive.

> I'm not allowed to not pay my taxes

But you ARE allowed and entirely free to move to cities with lower tax rates, or states with no income tax at all, or any other location that provides you a better balance of income to tax costs. Amazon is an entity with the same rights to make decisions about re-locating to the locality with the most advantageous income/cost ratio.
Also anecdotal but I grew up in California camping and hiking all the time, never once got a tick. I’ve been in the Bay Area for the last eight and a half years, also spending lots of time outside and nothing. Then, about a week ago, I got a tick while hiking in Point Reyes. Not even going through deep woods, just on one of the well maintained coastal trails. Thankfully I caught it early, I felt what I thought was a pimple near my armpit and investigated on the car ride home only to realize that it was quite a large tick
I don't think US cities have that kind of power. Sanctions are considered a diplomatic tool when dealing b/w Sovereign Powers; City Governments can argue their dispute in US courts and get a binding resolution that both need to follow.
Yes, yes I have heard this explanation a million times, but it's utter nonsense.

The whole system was designed with what you said in mind. The company is supposed to pay their taxes (foo) AND the city is supposed to collect the taxes from employees (bar). The whole system needs everyone to contribute their right amount so there is enough money for schools, health care, police, roads, libraries, etc. etc.

Yes, Amazon's foo is very large, because they make a massive amount of profit!! Also the bar they create will be very large, because they have a lot of employees. The fact it's a large amount changes nothing. The city they are in needs BOTH of those to function correctly. With all those massive buildings and employees the city will need new schools, roads, more police, more libraries, etc. etc.

Amazon get to use the roads of the town, the water infrastructure, the elec infrastructure, the education, the police, etc. etc. to make their massive profit.

Who do you expect to pay for all of that, other than Amazon through their foo tax? That's precisely why the foo tax exists, and amazon get to avoid paying it they can make massive profit without paying for the basic stuff - so now the regular citizens need to!

The whole thing requires the full amount of foo+bar to pay for all of that stuff.

But of course we all know America has terrible tax-payer funded services compared to the other OECD countries.

Twitter Followers Vanish Amid Inquiries into Fake Accounts
It's a real shame they don't talk more specifically about Luhn's role in the 'record addressing' problem.

Back in 1953, IBM was investigating disk storage for record retrieval in large volumes of data. Seek/read time on these machines was on the order of a second, so a 10 level binary search could take around 10 seconds of total time. Unfortunately for IBM, this wasn't an improvement over the best human-driven manual lookup processes... which is an issue if you're trying to sell/lease expensive computer hardware.

With this as motivation, Luhn then essentially invented what we now would know as a hash table, which was key to the 1956 RAMAC release.

It's listed in the OpenSource.org list of approved OS licenses: https://opensource.org/licenses

There were discussions: is it time to break up google et.al [1], with no clean indication of when someone is "too big". Obviously "too big" is when politicians are compelled to be involved in investment decisions of the company. Call it "too big to fail", "crony capitalism" or "market distorting monopoly power".

Same here, I was a NES then Sega Genesis (I think it was called the Master System in your neck of the woods) kid and rented games all the time because my parents didn't have money laying around to just buy every game I wanted -- in the US new games back then were still $60, which years ago was a lot of money, and still is (imho). Some were even more than that -- I distinctly remember saving up allowances and lawn-mowing money for months to buy the Star Wars NES game from Sears, which costed $80. And it ended up being terrible. You live & learn :)

My renting habits continued on through the Sega CD, PSX, and Sega Dreamcast (what a great system this was, mainly because CD burners were becoming cheap and you didn't need a hardware modification of your console to play burned games -- yes, I pirated the hell out of them [hello #kalisto and #echelon from EFnet] and this probably led to the console dying out long before it should have but I was a kid below the legal working age I couldn't buy them even though I wanted to.

Do you really think a city council/mayor has the power to enforce sanctions on another city? Generally, it's nation-states with armies that enforce sanctions, otherwise the target of the sanctions just says "Uh, no."

Everybody who played a lot of RPGs as a (pre)teen and turned out okay can tell you how it taught them creativity or self-expression or how to understand other people's ways of life, and that's all good and true. But I'm here to tell you how D&D changed my life: nothing prepared me for a career of navigating extensive, poorly-organized, frequently vague and occasionally contradictory technical documents like the extensive library of D&D rulebooks that I lugged around throughout high school.

It's worth noting that technically 20 is only an auto-success on attacks and saves. The way you describe is a very common house rule, but it seems to frequently be an accidental house rule (more of a misreading).
YES, especially to any fabric such as socks, shorts, etc. seem especially good for them to snag, considering the number of times I've caught them crawling up a leg or something. I'd guess less so against a shaved leg or something, but still check diligently, since shoes, socks, etc.

Running is probably an ideal speed for them to snag you (think how they'd be snagging deer, dogs, etc), and I've never found biking fast enough to not get them. It seems like they don't grab by any reflex, but just by hanging a few hooks out in the breeze to snag whatever comes by.

Another thing I found that I didn't expect -- I'd guessed that they'd be most active in hotter weather, making motion easier, etc., but it seems that the most active times are moderate temps, maybe 10-25C (50-77F), but we still need to watch out outside of that range. I've seen them all the way down to almost freezing and up in the 30C+/90F+ range.

Certainly the direct costs are huge, probably in the tens of billions of dollars or pounds per year. But it's quite possible that the shortened lifespan saves even more money by lowering spending on the chronic diseases of late life, etc.

<blockquote>However, smokers die some 10 years earlier than nonsmokers, according to the CDC, and those premature deaths provide a savings to Medicare, Social Security, private pensions and other programs.

Vanderbilt University economist Kip Viscusi studied the net costs of smoking-related spending and savings and found that for every pack of cigarettes smoked, the country reaps a net cost savings of 32 cents.</blockquote>

Isn’t that point based on the possibly incorrect assumption Columbus doesn’t have a chance?

And if their odds really are slim, wouldn’t the rational choice for Columbus to make be to offer tax breaks?

Like, why is the actor that is Columbus concerned at all if they put some sort of pressure on Boston/NYC/DC?

(I think HQ2 will be Columbus or Denver).
They definitely price below cost right now, given their financial performance. But they're raising prices literally right now; they're working on averaging up the amount customers pay without shocking customers to better reflect the cost of their services.

In other words; a business fundamentally cannot price all of their customers below cost indefinitely, and Netflix is working in the right direction. On the other hand, you can price customers above cost if demand is there, and demand for Tinder is there because their business model relies on exploiting biological addictions in our brains.
I guess it all comes down to what they mean by "basic understanding", "experience" and "familiarity". I am pretty inexperienced with modern web developer, but I still have a basic understanding what the difference AWS services do (ie I've read the description of them on the AWS homepage). I have experience with Vagrant and Docker (ie I've installed and played around with both and some point). I'm familiar with tracking systems such as JIRA (although not actually JIRA).

Basically don't read too much into lists like this. As long as you've heard of everything on the list and are good at two of the most import ones you're probably good to go.

We weren't sure the best way to do this—and it's too late to edit the post. :(

> Also, the site is a little too gray-blueish, it looks somewhat unprofessional because of that.

Thanks for the suggestion here; we probably should tweak the color scheme a bit. If you change themes on the map, the whole color scheme actually switches, so that's why it's heavily gray-blue skewed.

>>Of course, Ng probably knows all this which makes me feel even more bothered.

Ng's implied claim is that he has a head start on how to tackle the edge cases, along with other hard problems encountered in the field, based on his experience at Baidu. This is what got him the "easy" capital raise. If he really has an edge (no pun intended), then it makes sense for him to apply it while it's still relevant.
> But you ARE allowed and entirely free to move to cities with lower tax rates

Absolutely. But I can't negotiate with those places to get a special tax rate just for me. There is no "Dan's tax rate" that is different from everyone elses.

Oh, but if I just get rich enough.... they I won't have to pay taxes the same as the common-folk.

Being too limited for the intended purpose is still being wrong on some level. Not a bug, but still.

Granted, sometimes you don't care: stuff like `true?1:"foo"` is of type int an has value 1, but the compiler will rejected because of a type mismatch in the conditional—but you don't care because the code smell is too big and obvious to ignore.

Sometimes however you do care, if only a little: the value restriction in ML for instance prevent some function from being polymorphic because some side effect might break the type system. This forces you to eta-expand the function definition (no partial application, you need to write the arguments explicitly), which is a bit of a hassle in some cases.
Sublime text. And qtcreator
Agreed; Austin already has the Whole Foods HQ and a huge Apple and Facebook presence. Amazon also has a huge presence just outside Austin in San Marcos.

As an Austinite, I was really proud to see the city offered no financial incentives. Seems they've learned from the Domain issues (locals will understand this reference.)

I would be happy to have Austin selected as the city for HQ2. On local FB groups I have said I didn't think it would happen due to other cities offering better incentives, and I think that's why Amazon ran this contest. Instead of just saying "Austin", they said "Well, Austin...unless somewhere else gives us an unbeatable deal." :-/
The slowness of IPNS is something we're actively working on. Currently we have fixed so resolutions are faster after the first lookup, by using the libp2p feature pubsub. It being faster/slower than DNS depends on your case, but if you're close to the next node, it'll probably be faster. If you're offline, DNS won't work at all :) We also have more fixes for IPNS in general that will come soon.

So, depends on your use case in the end.

> By 1982 the craze was over and the toy's Hungarian manufacturer was going
bust — quite a feat when you consider that probably more than 100 million Cubes
were sold worldwide. But that was precisely the problem: a centrally planned
economy isn’t accustomed to dealing with consumer crazes. A Budapest writer,
Mezei Andras, has written a book and a play called The Hungarian Cube
chronicling the debacle. It started when the officials at the small
manufacturing cooperative, Politech nika, insisted on trying to expand their
operations to meet the burgeoning demand instead of farming out work to other
factories.

> “The company took a loan from the government,” Andras told me, “but they had
to wait nine or ten months for it to be approved by all the proper committees. Then it took them six months to order and receive the manufacturing
equipment they needed. By that time the craze was finished, so the company
had a large debt and no popular product, and the state had to save it from
going bankrupt.”

There's a lesson in that episode, which applies both to government and large corporations — it's a good part of why startups have such an economic advantage: they can pivot at the drop of a hat, relatively speaking.
One of the side effects of the fire ant problem in Texas is that they have significantly reduced the tick population. I have heard more than one person mention how they no longer find ticks after having been out in the woods, fields, etc.

Here is a page that talks about fire ants and some quotes:

https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/galveston/beneficials/be...

"Fire ants voraciously consume populations of fleas, ticks, termites, cockroaches, chinch bugs, mosquito eggs and larva, scorpions, etc.—after learning this, I realize that it really has been years since I last set off a flea bomb. A non-overstated culinary creed for fire ants could be the following: If it will stay still for a bit . . . then it's dinner!"

"Although fire ants are a big challenge to keep under control, one of the benefits of having the fire ants around (at least in East Texas) is that they kill ticks. If you have ever spent any time in the Piney Woods of East Texas, you understand how valuable that can be to you, your dogs and your livestock."
That is actually very well put and immediately explains why the job seekers will always tend to attach negative connotation to recruiters.

...software maintenance is the least important thing the foundation does in my opinion. (I mean I don't need a new `grep` release every month, I could actually use a version from 2004)

So, critical components that have issues : GPG, GNU TLS, GCC, Make, glibc, etc... are not important? If the tools that everything else is built upon are not being maintained, then a lot of infrastructure fails in spectacular ways. If these things are not important, I guess that I've been using the wrong tools and OS.

They take care of longer term issues, such as enforcing the GPL, defending it in lawsuits, writing good free software licences, raising awareness about issues (DRM, vendor lock-in, etc.), increasing free software use around the world.

They have failed at these things for a long time. The FSF has not had any engaging campaigns in quite a long time (more than 5 years); writing a blog post and an angry letter does not usually get the job done (see HTML5 EME campaign). GPL enforcement from the FSF is a joke since they take forever to respond to anything and by the time they get to it, the device / software is no longer sold / shipped. I also don't see any new striking licenses on the horizon being drafted by the FSF.
