FWIW, the SPR-9888 JIRA issue [1], which prompted the creation of Spring Boot and is quoted in the article, actually names Dropwizard as an inspiration.

The article quotes:

"I think that Spring's web application architecture can be significantly simplified if it were to provided tools and a reference architecture that leveraged the Spring component and configuration model from top to bottom. Embedding and unifying the configuration of those common web container services within a Spring Container bootstrapped from a simple main() method."

The very next lines are:

"Though there are many frameworks and platforms today that no longer require a container I think inspiration can be drawn most from DropWizard (http://dropwizard.codahale.com/).

Another project I've seen inspired by DropWizard but leveraging Spring is HalfPipe (https://github.com/32degrees/halfpipe). Though I don't think HalfPipe goes far enough. I think to truly provide simplification the entire architecture, wherever reasonable, must be embedded within the Spring container rather than without. Though it does have several other interesting ideas."

Honest question for someone more knowledgeable about the subject than myself: if you are not decentralized (in the authority sense), why would you pick a blockchain-based solution instead of a more traditional distributed database?

It's an estimate of rtt + dns resolution.

The challenge in providing a good dns service is more about having nodes closer to the user than the dns resolution step itself because that in theory is almost constant for cached responses (it's usually in the microseconds) and when it's not cached the response time is really dependent on recursive querying of other dns servers. So the dns resolution can me estimated by measuring it from a data center manually and subtracting the rtt and use that as a constant.

To estimate the rtt, you can do an xhr request and grab the connectStart and connectEnd using window.performance API keeping in mind it takes 3 rtt to do the handshake. Note that the request will fail for services that don't provide https support but that's ok because we just want to measure connect.

The reason cloudflare has a better performance is most likely because they have better coverage and not because their servers are faster. Faster servers are a small factor in the final response time.

For services that provide https support you can accurately measure the connect and response time of the XHR request using window.performance interface and subtract the dns resolution of the request. Also if you do the request twice, the second time is likely to have a dns and connect time = 0.
That's actually a good idea. I mean, it's a terrible idea, but certainly one way they could do this. But, alas, no. We don't own an Alexa speaker, though we do own a Fire HD. That, however, isn't allowed in the shagging room.
We have to live in the world we have. We should strangle car sharing in its cradle because even after decades of mediocre service a competitor could come along and complete doesn't sound like a sound strategy.

With QNAME minimalisation, RFC7129 (Authenticated denial of existence) and RFC8020 (NXDOMAIN: There really is nothing underneath), you should be sending almost nothing to the root servers of use.

QNAME minimalisation will only send <randomstring>.com to the root for them to give you the referral.

and RFC7129/RFC8020 mean that when you get a NXDOMAIN back from the root, you'll cache it and never try again for a large swath of possible names.
I was just listening to a Software Engineering Radio podcast from 2015 where they were interviewing the guy who moved Netflix to AWS. He said that by being on the best cloud provider (AWS), Netflix was neutralizing the advantage that Amazon Prime Video had by being on the best cloud provider.

On the other hand, Dropbox had to leave AWS because they would never be able to be a storage solution at a lower price and pay AWS fees...

Really interesting, but I think anyone interested in this would do well to check out [0]. It takes the article's second algorithm somewhat further, considering all the output tiles to start out as uncollapsed wave functions, and then going through and trying to collapse them in such a way as to obey local constraints (matching at their borders) and large-scale constraints (having each tile occur in the output at a frequency similar to some frequency defined by the inputs).

Also on the notational side, [0]'s approach of using a plain graphic as an input, and inferring the desired tiles and tile frequencies from it, is maybe more approachable than that of TFA. (Though in either case, if you hack on it I suspect you'll eventually wind up doing something ad-hoc..)

> Turos method of peer to peer car trading cannot be subject to the exact same rules as rental cars its absurd. Can you imagine if you had to enforce every uber driver to buy a 100000 dollar medallion.

That's an obviously nonsensical argument. The more relevant argument was when Uber was fighting the notion that it's drivers should have auto insurance that actually provides liability protection for it's passengers when they get hurt.

Rental cars aren't cabs, which is why Turo isn't as successful as Uber. There's no medallion problem -- a fairly robust competitive market exists, with 3-6 rental vendors at any significant airport and standalone outlets everywhere else. Pricing is driven by depreciation + overhead. Bigger customers are getting contract rates from companies like Enterprise for as little as $29/day. Hell, Home Depot will rent you a pickup truck for $19 in my area.

The closest thing to the medallion issue is the right of the airport to demand a piece of the action for commercial activty on their property. That's a different issue -- even companies that flout the law like ride-sharing companies give in to airport operator's power over activities that take place on their property. In my area, Uber cannot pick up fares at our airport, and Lyft agrees to pay the transaction fee.

The result reported by this paper is decay rate per unit volume (see Eq. 6.26). That tells you how long it takes for a bubble to nucleate. After that, it expands at the speed of light. How long does it take for a bubble expanding at the speed of light to destroy an infinite universe?
> The makers are not tracking that statistic (number of units sold that were not connected to the internet). They don't care if you connect it to the internet or not.

That is absolutely wrong. They are making money off of the data; of course they care! That's the whole point!

Things might be ignored, but only after a person has already wasted their time looking at it and determining it is crap.

It was harder for cranks to publish back when journals were purely physical and a crank would have to come up with the printing costs himself. Now that anyone can publish for free on the internet, peer review is even more important for establishing what content out there is worth paying attention to and which is not.

Wonder if instead of blocking ads or enabling other traditional privacy measures it is better to flood the system with fake data. Here it happened by accident, but maybe it should happen deliberately.
Same thing has been happening in the Atlanta metro area for decades, but in relation to transport instead of housing.

750,000 people live in Cobb county, which lies just northwest of the city center. Many of them commute to and from the city everyday for work via one large, congested interstate highway. Expanding MARTA, the Atlanta subway system, into Cobb county seems like a no-brainer way to cut down congestion and speed up travel times for workers who live in the suburbs, and make commuting to downtown events on nights and weekends much easier as well.

However, since the 1960's Cobb has blocked expansion of MARTA into the county. Many people point to racial tension as the reason. Cobb county is mostly affluent white suburbs, and voters have feared that creating a direct transit link with downtown will cause poor blacks to flood the area.

A quote from a state senator in 1971, “People fear that rapid transit would give Negroes greater mobility and consider the $0.15 fare as a gift to ‘a certain segment of the population.’” [0]

Opinions are supposedly starting to change, but as someone who lives (and thankfully works from home) in Cobb, it really does suck not having a quick link to downtown. For now, instead of adding true rapid transit, they're adding 30 miles worth of elevated express toll lanes to that same congested highway, at a cost of about a billion dollars. [1]

Hertz actually owns cars and has to follow the law. The "startup" methodology is to shift everything to schmuck who owns the car.

Presumably, if the car owners can rent the cars for less than Hertz, and Hertz has the buying power and scale to buy and maintain thousands of cars for less money than you or I, these individual car owners are either eating costs due their own ignorance, or failing to do things like maintain them properly or follow the relevant law.

One can answer questions like: Is it worthwhile for people to attempt to colonize the galaxy? When things like getting to other stars will take lifetimes, and getting across a galaxy 100M light-years across may take more time than has already passed, one needs to have some idea if there is even enough time left for such undertakings. Of course the lifetime of the galaxy will probably be less than 10^50 years, at least it puts the universe as a whole into better context. And really, in spite of any crazy ideas just putting ourselves into context seems to be important to a lot of people.
Timing in general isn’t the issue here, there isn’t a way to my knowledge to get just the DNS portion (specifically across an arbitrary set of DNS providers) of the network timing in JS. Just like there isn’t a way to test the timing of a single packet really either.

If this is a reproducible 'bug' - then Tesla's stance of Autopilot is ... certified by US Govt to reduce accidents by 40% ... . "That does not mean that it perfectly prevents all accidents — such a standard would be impossible — it simply makes them less likely to occur." is going to severely discourage a lot of people from not using Autopilot.

Tesla's expectation that a driver keep their hands on the steering wheel within 6 seconds or they can die - is not going to bode well.

Also, "Internal data confirms that recent updates to Autopilot have improved system reliability." [2] is going to come under a lot of questions. What standards/tests do Autopilots even go under ?

We do have 5 EBays and it sucks IMO. I have to search EBay, autotrader, craigslist(s), Amazon 3PM, AliExpress, BringATrailer, FChat/RennList, Etsy, Tindie, and others to get the whole market for whatever random thing I'm looking for.

For lodging, it's AirBnB, VRBO, TripAdvisor, Priceline, hotels.com, Expedia, trivago, and 15 others that I'm not thinking of, half of which are owned by one of the others.

Uber has Lyft and other smaller competitors as well.

Users go to where the vibrant market is; they aren't, in general, helped by having the market sharded for arbitrary reasons. Even back to the days of Trajan's Forum, local produce markets, or modern-day "Auto Mile"s, consumers seem to prefer the convenience of one place over many.
The service the airport provides is the fact that lots of people are there. In other news if I meet you in starbucks to buy a laptop from craigslist they aren't getting a cut.

If they meet the car at Walmart do we expect the walton family to get a cut? If they drop the car off at their home do we expect the HOA to get a cut?

At some point we could acknowledge that the airport isn't a party to the transaction.
Not really. Credit card coverage is secondary insurance, which means that your automotive liability insurance is the primary. Some cards offer primary coverage, usually for a fee or with a fee-based credit card.

That's problematic if you don't have insurance, or if you are in a risk category where some accident or damage to a vehicle will result in policy cancellation or a rate hike with your personal insurance. Some personal policies have different limits or gotchas for incidents related to business travel as well.
Interesting. I figured it was a new idea with the recent politics.

There's several news articles about this even some a few months old, so it's not a april fools joke. Apparently the people in the more rural areas don't feel like they are represented is another thing I heard since they tend to be more republican while the big cities are more democrat.

Seemed like the idea before that was six California's which seems like a lot to happen all at once.

Good heavens no. A large amount of citations happen when somebody looks for something to cite and cites the first one that looks relevant.
>replace the current commercial aspect of publications with an endowment funded system

The research itself is funded by the tax payer. The peer review is funded by the tax payer. What endowment funding is needed to replace whatever Springer is actually providing?

This whole mess is solvable with a single law. Just have the EU or the US legislate that any tax payer funded research (including research with external grants but done by researchers in public universities) needs to be available free of charge for download to any citizen. The whole "sector" would unravel pretty quickly after that as it should. Charging the tax payer, through huge contracts like this one being renegotiated in France, huge sums for access to the very research the tax payer has already paid for to be done in the first place is a complete travesty.
Yes, if you set up a commercial for-profit business selling things, or delivering rental cars, in a Starbucks or Walmart parking lot they would certainly expect a cut, or otherwise stop you from doing it. This concept is spectacularly non confusing.
> Meanwhile the wealth gap is at historic highs. Increasing demand when supply is already low should bring up wages.

Tariffs are an extremely inefficient form of redistribution. If you want to fix the wealth gap, just make the pie as large as possible and redistribute directly.

> Tariffs will not generally improve the welfare of Americans, removing the tariffs after our global competitors have ceased their own unfair trade practices, improved worker conditions, stop polluting so much, etc. may improve the welfare of everyone.

I'm not sure what to make of this. It sounds like the plan is to make ourselves worse off in the hope that it also damages China? Most of the difference in labor practices comes from the fact that the US is much richer than China. It's unlikely that we can convince China to stop being poor by taxing ourselves.
