Why are they recalculating the sum of the weights in the Q0 query?

Their answer:

select age, sum(weight) as total_weight
from cats
group by age
having sum(weight) > 12;

Which is equivalent to:

select age, sum(weight) as total_weight
from cats
group by age
having total_weight > 12;

Perth here, we tend to use 'up north' / 'down south', and 'over' for east. 'Out' just means 'away from home' and could be to the corner shops or the next city.

One thing that always amuses my Eastern States friends is our tendency to refer to the entire other half of the country as "over east". Sydney? Melbourne? I dunno, it was somewhere over east anyway.

Edit: I had 'over' for both east and west, but there's nothing but ocean to the west of here so we don't have much occasion to talk about things being to the west of us... apart from Rottnest Island, which is still 'over' because you get there by boat or plane.
"The defensive drone fleet circle the base. Upon a detection of an incoming fleet, rather than one sentry gun taking on 100 or 1000 drones, a defensive swarm targets the incoming swarm. More of a one-to-one fight or perhaps 1:4 if your drones are more capable fighters."

In this scenario, cyber-warfare will become even more critical. Imagine being able to hack and take over your enemy's defensive drone contingent.
Poor ones. Well in that case they really should simply go out of business. If your model is that broken you have no right to exist in the first place. But something - such as their profits posted year-after-year-after-year - makes me suspect that their story isn't complete.
HAPPENING NOW: TurtleCoin AMA
We grew up not using the dichotomy of 'Out' vs. 'Over', but 'Out' vs. 'In' signifying whether we're heading to a more rural or urban area. e.g. Let's go in (to town) to go to a bar. Let's go camping out at Krause.

'Over' is more reserved when going to a previously known destination.
This is the stupidest and most poorly researched article I may have ever seen.

You can't redirect HTTPS traffic unless you have a root certificate or have the private key of the site, and blocking HTTPS traffic would make at least 68% of web traffic not work, so not a real option.
If I understand correctly, Chrome shows that "Secure" label on sites using HTTPS.

What bothers me is that non technical users will start to trust the same "Secure" label.

resources should be allocated to correct for this

>The second factor is work experience. Even in the relatively simple production of a passenger’s ride, past experience is valuable for drivers.

i.e. women should be given training to compensate for the a priori difference in experience.

women should also be educated about this

>hourly earnings on Uber vary predictably by location and time of week, and men tend to drive in more lucrative locations.

the obvious question becomes why aren't women driving during more lucrative times. is it because those times are late nights during which it's potentially more dangerous for a woman driver. this is of course a systemic issue of a larger system. my point is that usually when someone claims "accidental/benign inequality" all one needs to do is expand the scope to discover the malignant root.
Thanks. I agree. The GIF of `thanks` in action really tells the story better than a description ever could.
The HAVING clause is evaluated before the SELECT so you have to specify the full clause `having sum(weight) > 12` and not just the alias. Most SQL engines are probably smart enough to not actually recalculate everything.

Nintendo is often derided for being a ‘toy’ company - as opposed to, say, Apple which is a ‘real’ hardware company.

Yet look at the big N’s track record of innovative hardware and software integration: Wii motion controls, Switch’s Joy-Cons and (soon) the cardboard Toy-Cons, N64 rumble pack for haptic feedback, battery backup in NES and SNES cartridges, etc.

(And yeah, lots of misfires along the way like the Wii U, Power Glove, Virtual Boy, etc).

A massive advantage of being a ‘toy’ company is what I would call the Pixar effect: products work for kids and adults alike.

Lego is also worthy of a look, but made a major strategic error IMHO by not purchasing Minecraft and letting Microsoft snap it up.

hat tip to Google Cardboard, of course.

or maybe that was a success, given its marketing impact post ‘The Wizard’ :)

"Can you explain how you spent millions of dollars on something that had no benefit whatsoever for your company?"

In what sense? Like why they let me do it? Because they aren't as profit driven as you seem to believe. I'm sure parts are, but not the part i was in. Additionally, the founders and CEO definitely cared more about doing the right thing than trying to eek out another little bit of profit for something.

Unfortunately, it's not public in the particular case i'm referring to, so in that case, you'd just have to trust me.

I have also managed similarly not-profit driven things, that are public, like election information publication (which was also xx million worth of people). This data and work was explicitly kept away from any profit driven part of the company, and not driven, at any level, by a desire to profit (In this case, eric thought we should do it, as did sergey, and they very much wanted it to be done because it was the right thing to do, and didn't want us to care one whit about either the business or goodwill aspects)
I'm sure you will contrive a motive.
But you can contrive all you want, it's basically "your random thoughts" against "the people who actually funded and supported it", and i trust them at their words.

"Now, you may have done something that had more ephemeral benefits and did not have directly attributable immediate revenue impacts, but I am pretty sure that it benefited your company somehow, and I am pretty sure that you justified the expense in terms of the benefit to your company.""

You've moved from claiming, essentially, direct commercial benefit (solidification of monopoly position) to "any benefit at all". I'm pretty sure no matter how i answer you are going to try to contrive benefit out of it.

But i asked explicitly (when dealing with the non-public thing), and the answer all the way up to, as far as i know, Larry, was "no, we should do this because it's the right thing to do, we don't care if it benefits us".

I did not justify the expense in terms of benefit to my company.

As a lawyer, i can also tell you the professional duties you claim are either non-existent or not as absolute as you make them.

Google, and pretty much all corporations, are simply not the black and white things you paint them to be.

(and also, for the record, i actually very much hate corporatism :P)
The precedent was established a long time ago.

Taxi drivers have been working as contractors for decades.

Just because a tech company is doing it, doesn't mean that the law has changed its opinion on the matter.

The problem with self-signed certs is that you're then given no assurance that you're not being MITMed. An attacker could be stripping the real SSL off a connection, re-encrypting it with a self-signed cert they've created, and then showing that to you. Real SSL certificates have trust chains, which aren't used in self-signed certs.
I used to be on the side of cheap clothes. It was a recent realization that clothes that cost more are more comfortable and unless you're buying too much it doesn't add a lot of expense.

How to become a centaur
For me, there are a couple of motivations:

1) Financial freedom and security. Aside from ensuring material needs this is important because it provides a good foundation for autonomy - an important part of self-fulfilment.

2) The means to make things happen. I don't want to own things or show off. I do want to facilitate things that I think will be beneficial to people I care about (e.g. help a friend or relative start a business, fund a non-profit, etc).

For a lot of people 'getting rich' means flash cars, big houses, and extravagance. I don't want any of that. I want the means to make my world (the one I interact with) a more pleasant place (for myself and others).
Taxi drivers working as contractors is not something that started when the App was invented.

They have been working as contractors, for companies, for decades.

Maybe you think the law should be changed, but situations like this have been established and determined for a very long time.
That's difficult to answer. Soft targets are, well, soft. If you arm the state capital, they'll move to the university, museum, or large landmark. Protect those, and they'll move to further down the chain. Perhaps one of the best option is to try to prevent social unrest before it happens. Maybe we can repurpose tech to help us communicate better with each other.

Beyond that, you might see people purchasing defensive measures once attacks become more of a threat. Whether that's lasers, other drones or something we haven't thought of. There would be a demand for counter measures - you can already see the market forming for such counter measures.
I live in the Virginia Beach metro, which alongside Austin, Dallas, and Cincinnati, is one of the four test locations announced for their new Whole Foods Prime delivery service. My theory is that the Virginia Beach location was chosen as their "stress test", as it's the one where this service is most likely to fail. If it can work there, it can probably work anywhere.

The metro has some positive attributes: high proportion and large number of military families who are mostly concentrated in the suburbs. But it also has many complicating factors:

- A difficult metro for logistics. It's essentially a routing cul-de-sac: not enough local demand to serve as a large distribution node, and it's ~100 miles from the Richmond metro that's typically used for this instead. Getting product in by rail is easier, but difficult to do just-in-time, and most rail freight traffic flows the other way: out.

- Low growth. Incomes in the metro grew slower than the US average [1]. Employment growth has been well below US average [2]. The region isn't quite stagnant, but recovery after the recession has been markedly slower than Northern Virginia, Raleigh-Durham, or the region's arch-rival Richmond. Most population growth that is occurring [3] in Virginia Beach's vicinity is in suburban areas beyond the single Whole Foods' delivery range [4].

- Grocery saturation. In the past year, German-style chains Aldi and Lidl have expanded, Publix has been rumored to be eyeing the area, and Wegmans has been confirmed to be coming [5]. This is in addition to local incumbents owned by Supervalu, Kroger, and Ahold Delhaize. Local press and commentators have been noting that the area seems to now be overprovisioned with grocery stores [6].

Meanwhile, Cincinnati is close to major trucking corridors and is adjacent to Amazon's old freight hub in Ohio and its new one at Cincinnati's Kentucky airport. Dallas and Austin are both major markets with high levels of growth.

I love Crashlytics, it was a great success and continues to be an awesome service. However, this comment highlights my question. Crashlytics was an early "first mover" in this area, has been a goto for developers for years now, and could likely be considered as a "best case" scenario for this type of software. Yet, it was acquired for far less than a billion dollars.

My original comment was in regards to the well known fact that YC tends to invest in companies that have the opportunity to be billion dollar companies. In fact, it's a known question during interviews[1].

So, my question is what do these founders say when asked this question? What possible paths are there to a billion dollars for this type of company?

I think capitalism is often pernicious but I'm opposed to "stealing" to a fault. You could consider this theft (and the big journals obviously do). Whether that theft is justifiable or the moral equivalent of stealing more concrete stuff is up for debate.

I'd imagine there are a number of scholars who don't agree with their papers being used this way, so there's certainly another side to it.
And spying/surveillance/analytics/snooping. That's not minimal. And you get all those benefits from checking a checkbox in cPanel and the rest is handled automatically? Who could be against that?!
I'm using Chrome by the way.

There's no reason to ever go back to eating carbs, all they do is damage.

There actually isn't a ton of hormones and antibiotics in grocery store meat, it's mostly vegan propaganda I believed in until last week when I actually researched it. Soy products have 1000 times the hormones than any piece of meat.
Chrome should have 3 levels of security.

* HTTP (Red Box and Complaining)

* HTTPS w/ Let's Encrypt (No compliants, but no true secure lock.)

* HTTPS w/ a paid certificate (True magical green box)

In fact I think this should apply to all browsers. This might not deal with all of the issues, but it would be a good start. Feel free to point out where I'm wrong.
Adding fire sprinklers to new construction is an additional expense, yet it's still required as a safety measure.

This argument from cost doesn't seem like a compelling one to me. It's not money being thrown away, it's delivering real added security.
Self-signed certificates are trivially MITMable. In the absence of cert pinning (like SSH does), they offer no security.
I'm not sure that morality would be an issue. The duty of companies in a capitalist system is simply to make money for their owners. If profit is maximised by selling fewer copies for higher fees, that's what they are supposed to do.
The only thing I can find is one of the original versions of the chess engine. It's still running on a free web-host: http://blitzter.atspace.com/. Pardon the writing style of 16-year old me.

Unfortunately, I can't find any of the newer versions of the engine or the FPGA code. I wrote most of the newer versions in college, eight to ten years ago; the hard-drive for my desktop may be around my house somewhere, but it will take some time to find, setup, and search. You've piqued nostalgic interest, so I may just do that...

I'm currently running a small software agency in the Boston area that employs a couple developers. One of our larger clients integrates their AI-based product with larger customers' platforms, and my company does quite a few of the implementations. That has given me enough of a taste for now; hopefully we can pivot completely into that space one day. For now, I'm enjoying working at an arm's reach.

Because Reason fully supports imperative and OOP style. You don't need to use functional style if you don't want to (of course, aside from using other people's code). Here's some classic OOP:

class animal = {pub speak = "Animal noise";};
class cat = {inherit class animal; pub speak = "Meow!";};
class dog = {inherit class animal; pub speak = "Bark!";};

let speakTwice(animal: animal) = animal#speak ++ ", " ++ animal#speak;
print_endline(speakTwice(new dog)); /* Bark!, Bark! */
I don't think an English professor would be impressed with the grammar of this title.

Taxi cab drivers already work as contractors in many real taxi companies.

Uber did not invent this practice. They took it from the existing industry.

The existing industry was actually WORSE in that you would have taxi medallion owners who would charge people rent for the luxury of using their taxi medallion!

So please, do not blame Uber for the existing taxi cab contractor business practices.

Not correct - this is (very successful) vegan propaganda. Look into it more.

I interviewed Dr. Shawn Baker MD who has done this for a year now. As carb intake decreases the need for vitamin C decreases. He takes no supplements and is in perfect health.

The real problem is carbs and sugar. I don't believe anyone needs to take it the extreme of going all meat - just cut down/out carbs and sugar and you will have lifelong health.
Their implicit goals are “we are going to win at all costs against the other team” and at that point they’ve succeeded enough to have a huge amount of ongoing support.

Eventually they’ll remove or downplay the secure label if the site doesn’t support modern TLS standards.

There’s no reason for users to trust a site when they see a secure icon, when the web goes secure by default, we’ll start to see this icon gradually disappear, reducing its importance. Secure TLS will need to be the default and it should be recognized in the browser that the transmission is secure but the site and its contents shouldn’t necessarily be trusted. Until and unless other trust standards are developed and promoted this way — like secure DNS — I see no reason why web browsers should highlight secure web pages. If anything they should indicate if people are about to use a new site, vs loading a commonly visited site to warn you about phishing attempts. They could also protect your privacy for you. But I think site identity validation and secure data transport should be independent concepts in browser UI.
To be fair, there's not much that browser makers can do about back end exploits and social engineering. Google aren't in the business of writing back ends for third parties, and it's difficult to know if a website's back end is insecure, so I don't know who you expect to hear "scream", or who they would scream about.

The article is about one practical measure that a browser maker has taken to improve the piece of user-facing software that they are responsible for, and some users of that software are applauding this improvement.

Having said that, I do accept your over all point that there is a lot of other work that still needs to be done in securing the web. As you suggest, that's not going to be easy, but let's not fail to fix the things that we can fix already.
