iPhone example; Apple had tons of experience selling iPods first. They had probably learned that users desired more functionality, they would pay for it. The iPod became a device people would carry everywhere. So it made sense to combine it with a phone, which people also wanted to carry everywhere. (The phone was the iPods biggest threat.) Now, how to design it is where you get to be creative and where Apple excelled. Also, I think them partnering with AT&T (I think) to ensure proper network availability helped them out. Otherwise, people would have just complained that it cost too much for data. This was already a big hindrance in the US market for any type of smart device. Point is, Apple through the iPod had a good idea that the iPhone would be a success if executed properly.

Netflix example; because of their DVD business, they knew users wanted on-demand. Mail was a bottleneck. So they had a pretty good idea their customers would see the benefit of streaming.

As you mentioned, new ideas are tougher because you can't learn from your existing customers. There's no simple answer, but you just have to formulate a strategy. Target a particular segment that "get's it". Take it one day at a time. Some things are only possible with enormous resources. If you can't find the resources, it's not possible and you should move on.
We have a c3 picasso, with a rear facing seat on the passenger side for a 3 year old (with a block to deal with the floor storage problem). Plenty of room for the passenger.

We spent a few weeks in Aus/NZ and bought a couple of car seats there (cheaper than renting them), which was odd -- they were rear facing and belted, but had straps to go over the back of the passenger seat and connect to an anchor point in the boot (trunk).
> That's likely true in large cities, but most cities (and thus most city governments) aren't large.

Many small city elected officials are part-time, often unpaid or with a largely symbolic stipend: they don't have public pensions from those positions at all. So they are even less subject to “if you make bad pension decisions, we’ll take your personal pension away” leverage than fulltime big-city and state politicians, who are likely to have (but not depend on) public pensions.
Yet, some people have got a different point of view and think that smoking pot is not harmless to society.

The Blogroll: Week 6
I forget the specifics, but there are several incompatibilities between the IETF URI and IRI spec and the WHATWG URL spec (see [1], EDIT: as I'm sure you're well aware, given your username). The WHATWG spec amounts to "what four popular web browsers do", explicitly without considering compatibility with the hundreds (thousands?) of other non-web-browser tools that make use of URIs.

What you've defined are effectively not URLs. Very similar, but different. If you wanted to call them "WHATWGRLs" or something I wouldn't care. But they're not URLs, and the WHATWG is choosing to muddy the waters rather than, say, specify an optional legacy compatibility layer on top of the IETF spec. It's one thing to say "in addition to IETF URIs, browsers should also accept these malformed URIs, but should not accept these valid but problematic URIs"… it's quite another to say "URIs aren't that anymore, now they're this".

Since it’s a report of a U.K. high court case, I think it’s safe to say there was documented proof. I mean, you can read the court transcripts if you like, but UK judges aren’t in the habit of letting unsubstantiated claims into the courtroom.

IT has never been all-or-nothing. Google currently makes such decisions. They recently released stats showing they deny about half of all requests.

If one side is unhappy with Google's decision, they can sue. And the court system is almost completely devoted to the sort of question you're asking.

"The percentile values we observed had quite unusual distribution"
It is pretty normal to have a long tail in the last few percentile/tenths. Fortunately, most latency monitoring tools do account for this now. Another gotcha is that 99.9 isn't the end of your tail either. Sometimes looking at the "100th percentile" request isn't useful/such an outlier, but you should know it exists.

This seems like a useful practice. Do you log how often this happens and which task is the winner? It seems like without that, you may not notice actual issues.
Certainly there are lots of cases of expensive long-term treatments being developed.

Do you have examples of situations where cures have been suppressed in favor of expensive long-term treatments? Especially in a competitive environment, where there were multiple players offering competing long-term treatments that were both aware of cures?

Preferably this would be something supported by leaked or court documents, but independent investigations would also be interesting. I understand this is a high burden of proof, but everything I've seen seems to indicate that this is an urban myth. I certainly couldn't find any specific cases in a cursory search.

Kind of related:

There's a small Swedish state-owned (soon to be privatized though) consulting company with about 15 people that exists with the sole purpose of exporting this know-how to other countries. It's been relatively successful in selected developing countries. The know-how is typically given away for free, only actual work (training etc) is charged for.

http://www.sweroad.se/

They haven't been hugely successful though. I hear there's often way too much national pride and similar factors ("our country is unique because irrelevant factors X, Y and Z") involved.

These people have an odd mix of

a) satisfaction because they are helping people not get... killed or maimed

b) but also an extreme amount of banging your head against the wall kind of moments

Anyway, if you want to implement road safety quickly in your country, they are who you should go to.

This seems like a terrible way to pick your tech stack. Here are the most obvious drawbacks, largely revolving around the total lack of community:

- Literally no one else in the world uses this framework. You are entirely on your own when something goes wrong.

- Virtually no guarantee that the framework will still be being developed in 1 year.

- No packages made to work with it.

$9,000 is not nearly enough to take this gamble with three months of your engineering time.

All of my naysaying aside, I think it's a really cool idea by the DarkLang folks!

> Explaining the decisions made on Friday, the judge said one of the men had continued to "mislead the public" while the other had "shown remorse".

Okay, great, so Google's now required to judge right to be forgotten requests based on whether the criminal has "shown remorse." Yeah, that's not arbitrary or even a little impossible to do at scale.

Let's grant that there are good cases for removing pages from a search index. If this is going to be the rubric, we should let the courts figure it out, and then an order should be issued to search engines to remove the content. This thing where you tell each search engine to remove content, the search engines decide based on, I dunno, court precedent or gut feeling or whatever, then you sue, then you appeal, I just don't see how that can work.

Eventually Google will just start granting every single request regardless of merit because being challenged will get too expensive.
This should be the top comment. The dark UX forcing an app down your throat for a website is appalling. Also is the chorus of illiterate responsers to every post like this pushing yet another 3rd party app. The website is broken if you need an app.

Sounds vaguely like Glenn Mulcaire
One problem is that the EU regulation is a losing fight technologically. Not that they can't affect the outcome, but that the regulations are going to be only effective in a small subset of cases.

It's like copyright. Right now, like the early days, you can search warez on Yahoo and find it. No bittorrent, etc. Once search engines got smart, with copyright, the violations just got pushed to smaller sites and decentralized protocols.

If the big search engines suddenly starts letting everyone edit search results about themselves, I bet in 5 years some IPFS / DHT / blockchain based technology that lets people permanently post and search news/rumours/gossip about other people will pop up.

Should this happen? I'm not sure, but with the nature of the Internet maybe it doesn't matter that much positively.
Note that any stats about France should mention that French roads are some of the busiest in Europe, because we're at the crossroads of everything (lots of truck traffic coming from Germany / Portugal / Spain / Italy / The Netherlands on the highways for example).
Country size has nothing to do with it. Tearing down downtowns to put in parking lots, forcing buildings to be surrounded by seas of asphalt, and density restrictions could be related.

Also it should be mentioned that your driving makes the city less pleasant and more dangerous to walk or cycle in, encouraging others to drive, in an unfortunate feedback loop.

That's how I do it. It took some time to build up the trust relationship, but most of the time, our stakeholders and me can keep a good balance of maintenance and features. And this balance doesn't have to be rigid. I want my maintenance tasks done, but it's fine to prioritize deliverables for a sprint or two - we'll have a sprint or two of maintenance then. And that might be fine, or even beneficial, because then you have a bigger block of time to do some bigger cleanup tasks.

The German side of my family were all radical Protestants who hated Hitler because he was 'too Catholic', so engaged in what we would call terrorism today blowing up and attacking local nazi party campaign buildings until exiled to Canada. Some others remained and continued terrorism, somehow not getting caught. They described their area of rural Germany as lawless since the majority were anti Hitler and police didn't enter those areas the entire war, and all refused military duty. Somebody should do a history doc on the crazy violent religious radicals in rural Germany during the war.

This isn't terribly surprising, honestly, although their number of five drinks per week being harmful is (back when I was in college, then-current research pegged it at four per day). Still, I feel like moderate alcohol consumption's probably worth though. Certainly abstinence doesn't seem worth it.
There's a big difference between "self-destructing gmail" and "self-destructing email".

Even with the first, Google supports forwarding all mail to an arbitrary email address, which means the "Gmail" becomes a text-file stored on a dovecot server (or other regular mail server) somewhere.

So unless they break delivery (you can forward only some subset of emails) - there's no way for the sender to have any better guarantee than "please delete after reading".

At least the pgp spec has (had?) an "eyes only" flag that, while it didn't guarantee anything, at least meant compliant software would try hard to not leave a plain text copy on the filesystem.

> Driving cars for hire has always been a shit way to make a living

There are plenty of drivers who made a good living. I had a friend in college from britain. His father was a taxi driver and who was able to provide for his stay at home wife, send his 3 kids to college ( one to NYC ) and buy a vacation home in spain. A solid middle class living as a taxi driver. So your premise about drivers always making shit pay is verifiably false.

But I do agree with you that uber is a disruptive technology and a middle class life as a driver is not something that can be maintain in today's environment.
I'll assume that downvotes mean I wasn't clear: the US is currently spending that much ($150B apparently, I haven't checked) on R&D for drugs. It's just doing it through different means, presumably by paying higher insurance premiums and healthcare costs that end up going to drug companies to fund their R&D. If instead we payed that cost through taxes, then there's no theoretical reason why it would have to cost any more. So why would it be too expensive, given that we already pay that much via a different route? Of course, it's not politically expedient and won't happen anytime soon.

Yep. And keep in mind that Google can't just sit back and wait for a court to order something removed; Google has to pay Google employees to imitate these court precedents.
My kids did rear facing until they were about 5, and we have a car that, while not tiny, is relatively small (crossover hatchback). Yes, their legs were a little cramped, but the significant safety differences (in case of an accident) made it pretty compelling.

The rear-facing laws in California define the _minimums_ (weight, age, and I think also height?) for when you're _allowed_ to let your child face forward. Given the difference in fatality rates between the two, I was OK with going past the minimum time.
Well the latter is obvious to anyone with a healthy dose of cynicism and knowledge of what facebook is. The former is something you could not figure out on your own.

I think we need to be careful about attributing all of the China's success and splurge of VC funding to IP theft, hostile domestic market for foreign players, etc. China is succeeding because it really wants to.

With manufacturing in US hollowed out in last couple of decades and China being the new global manufacturing powerhouse, it is not surprising that China is seeking smart (software/cloud/AI/robotics powered) solutions to industrialization, warehousing, transportation, supply chain, payments and other areas. Why hasn't US achieved the level of digital payment smoothness that China has been able to?

While the points you made about lax laws and blatant data privacy invasion are an contributing factors, I think you would have seen China making great strides in the above mentioned areas even if laws were enforced strictly. It's important to recognize China's technological prowess. They have similarly taken a lead in bioengineering.
