Interview with serverless apps monitoring startup Epsagon

Cities with dock bikeshare systems (like NYC’s Citibike) do exactly that.

The counter argument is that people don’t want to walk half a block extra once they get to their destination just to get to a bike parking spot. Thus, the rising popularity of dockless bike shares.

Seattle actually had a dock bikeshare for about 18 months, then scrapped it in favor of a number of dockless start-ups.
WhatsApp is much more monetizable than Facebook. It is a giant transaction switch that can become the biggest payment and commerce network on the planet. Zuckerberg would do well to unwind and eventually shutdown Facebook which will anyway die a natural death and concentrate on WhatsApp.

> While it's not that large of a city compared to others, you can fit the cities of San Francisco (46.7 sq miles), Boston (89.6 sq miles), and Manhattan (22.8 sq miles) within Detroit city limits.

Sure, but Boston is only a part of what people think of as Boston. When Paul Graham talked about Boston in "Cities and Ambition", he meant Cambridge.

If you add the cities and towns with a T stop:

- Boston (89.6)
- Cambridge (7.13)
- Somerville (4.2)
- Quincy (26.87)
- Malden (5.1)
- Revere (5.9)
- Braintree (14.5)
- Brookline (6.8)

...you have a 'city' encompassing 160 sq mi, which is bigger than Detroit.

That standard doesn't generalize -- I grew up in the DC area, and the metro there goes all the way out to Rockville, which is generally considered to be an exurb, practically flyover country. (IMO, that's an unfair assessment, but it is what it is.) But it seems about right for Boston.

Does Detroit have central parts that aren't part of the city proper, the way Boston has Cambridge and Somerville and San Francisco has Berkeley and Oakland?
Some GPU based methods are faster when they rely on raw parallel processing power, even if it caused a huge amount of work to be discarded. These chips are well suited for regular, embarassingly parallel, dumb work. This starts to drop sharply with increasing branching and the amount of unordered memory accesses, although GPUs get better and better at that. So it can be better right now to do the dumb thing instead of the smart thing.

I think that sorting on the GPU is a good example: a parallel quicksort is hard to implement and maps badly to GPU threads. A bitonic sort algorithm is likely to be much faster, although it is a very dumb algorithm.
For your website, sagefy, how do you plan on being able to "assesses" the student's prior knowledge?

It seems to be a double-edge sword if you plan on using assessments (the only way I can think of to assess prior knowledge) to do it because people want immediate satisfaction. Unfortunately if you told people to take a 25 question pre-quiz before starting the course I am sure most would simply leave the website.

Presumably, there are also presuppositions that put homeopathy in universities, along with pantheology, shamanism, and even things that nobody currently believes (but could, if they invented and then accepted new presuppositions). However, philosophers will at least claim to be able to arrive at logic instead of just using it (I'm not sure if this is true, but culturally they value not assuming anything implicitly.) Moreover, science definitely has features that require no preconditioning in order to see for yourself. Even your first chemistry class will involve experiments that you don't need to put yourself in a trance in order to observe the results of. So, while I'm sure that Soplism has convinced many that there's no telling what's really true (and by extension, that any time a group agrees on something they've arrived at it through purely social means), there's definitely a bunch of things out there that you can check for yourself. Is it a presuppositon to say something like, "there is a world?" Some could argue that it is, but it's definitely different from saying something like, "there is a second world that nobody can observe or interact with."

I think A and B present a difficult challenge for Uber/Lyft. Drivers do not have the freedom to control how to perform their services. They do have some leeway in route, but not total leeway. And there are many guidelines they have to abide regarding the condition of their vehicle and treatment of passengers.

Element B is a little less clear, but I think it would be difficult for Uber/Lyft to overcome. Drivers would argue that the normal workplace is actually the streets. Uber/Lyft could of course argue that it's HQ, but given the number of drives on the street and the number of employees at HQ, this is no slam-dunk for the companies.

Background: I am a (former) lawyer who worked on employee/contractor issues in the realm of tax law (which uses different tests than state law).
Salsify: Low latency network video
My thoughts exactly. Some people seem to be reading this ruling as though no "tech company" could hire any "tech contractor". However, I read it: if a hypothetical company doesn't for example design databases as their bread and butter they could hire someone else to.
You are so wrong I don't know where to start. The percentage of Americans with college degrees has never been higher. For decades, the message from authorities has consistently been to encourage youths to go to college as much as possible, and the number of students has kept increasing beyond all reason. We are well past the point of diminishing returns, and into pure and simple harm, where millions of Americans go into debt to get pointless degree just so they'll be considered for jobs that shouldn't need a degree in the first place. It's a disaster.
I see no reason to think that.
They did break the law though, the entrepreneurs jumped the wagon when it was legal.

There is another big difference and it's taxes.

The author makes a good point, anonymizing data is hard. Unfortunately they don't mention differential privacy, a promising area of research that can help us solve these problems.

Well, you've rehashed what I said -- That was meant to be to all the people wondering how this ruling would affect companies like Uber/Lyft/other gig economy companies.

The answer is it won't affect them, because they'll do what it takes legally to act in their best interest, like they have always done (and have had way more resources than the average worker to do). So nothing will change, outside of a likely reduction in lawsuits for companies most able to navigate the new legal climate.

Agree. Most of the tutorials I see seem to be written entirely to generate ad revenue rather than actually be a quality educational resource. Google's algorithms only promotes this type of garbage.
Also the drivers aren't supplying a service "outside the business's normal variety." They're supplying the core Uber service.

EDIT: They might be able to redefine themselves as purely a software company for the drivers to remain contractors.
Funny story, a few of my friends were moving out to the middle of Saskatchewan and I decided to room with them. So we pack our stuff into a hauling van and take off to the place one of the friends had gotten lined up for us. We roll into the city, take a rip through her and eventually pull up on this little duplex. The entrance was in the back so we go to scope her out and just over my fence is a bunch of cropland and bales. Right in the middle of a damn city.

This type of abuse happens with almost any kind of media platform.

Google for a long time was losing the battle with people gaming their search engine until they invested a ton of effort (around 2011) into shutting down the fakes, many of whom still succeed, but not enough to send people fleeing for Bing.

I suspect Instagram has shutting these bot accounts down as a top priority.

I agree with your assessment (you failed to mention leeway with which rides to take, but maybe it doesn't matter) -- Uber/Lyft would definitely not want to lose control on how their drivers perform their services since it's directly counter to part of their value proposition/brand.

I pessimistically assume, however, is that assuming the A/B fight is a lost battle for gig economy compnaies, the next step is to limit these employees to being part-time with some kind of <20 hours per week or something rule.

With no experience rolling subscriber access silicon or MMIC this is likely to have comedic results.
Codecs used by real time video systems are able to adjust the bitrate on the fly. There's not a keyframe request every time that happens unless resolution is changed. How quickly they adjust might vary, software implementations generally does it for the next encoded frame. The frame still will be somewhat larger or smaller than the target size since the codecs can't accurately predict the encoded size for given quality parameters.

The Salsify implementation in the paper has slightly more accurate way of producing one single frame as it encodes two frames with different quality targets and takes the largest one below the frame size target.

Doing the "wrong things" in parallel for a net benefit is already a very common theme in all parallel computing, especially in GPUs. All interesting parallel algorithms (more than just a parallel-for over tasks) do more total work than their serial versions, but have shorter critical sections.

I found Feynman's lecture and it's a good analogy for the differences between GPUs and CPUs. The GPU has thousands of dumb clerks who are fast at using their scratch paper and doing a few different arithmetic operations, but there's only one boss giving the whole group their instructions.

This kind of agenda reporting is what gives mainstream news its fake-news reputation. A editor would make sure that the journalist put this into context (some simple math as the poster above has shown) and also have dug up some comparable statistics on taxis. It could be that taxis are 3x as dangerous for women and now the writer has put even more women in danger by steering them away from Uber toward taxis.

Nothing unfortunate about that. When you work with rationals, it's very easy to grow incredibly large denominators, at which point all arithmetic operations slow to a crawl. Floats are fast and predictable, which is why they're used for most calculations in CL and other languages.
In C# it cannot happen. The garbage collector phase is compacting.
In the past you could have had this problem in the large object heap (that stores objects larger than 85k) because the GC there is not compacting.
From .Net 4.5 or something similar they added an option to trigger a compacting GC in the large object heap, so this problem is solved.
The article is missing maybe the biggest leak in GC languages that is when resources are not properly closed. A classic example is not unsubscribing an event in .Net that may cause massive leaks if you have a main window that through its ViewModel will listen to events of any child viewmodel but it doesn’t unsubscribe the event when the child window is closed.
As a result the more child window you open and close the more memory is leaking.

I had the same experience when first switching to Android after a lifetime on iPhone. But after a year of really getting to use Android features it eventually became apparent Android has its own problems, and I ended up switching back to iOS. It'll seem great at first since it does things differently and improves on many aspects of where iOS fails at while it's fresh in your mind, but you'll need to spend much more time using it day to day to get a real sense of the pros and cons.

The answer is it won't affect them, because they'll do what it takes legally to act in their best interest

But how does that follow? You're essentially saying that no law can ever affect them, since they'll always "do what it takes legally to act in their best interest".
Most of what the article describes in terms of user experience is that of stock Android, not just the Pixel 2 - For those interested in a clean Android but who don't want the Pixel I can recommend the Android One line, those are devices by other manufacturers that basically have the same stock Android as the Pixel devices, with similar quick updates etc.
