I thought XMLterm was going to catch on, but no one seemed to care. Almost 20 years, and now scientists seem happy with Jupyter Notebooks.

Wolfram spent that time trying to get everything into a regular model, so any output could be used as a valid input argument. I have tried, and yet it seems only possible to use if your a priori model of the problem domain already matches the Wolfram Language.

We need better terminals. But so far the seem very specialized.

> Corporations are ultimately meant to be agents that further the public good.

Corporations have rarely (if ever) been meant to further public good. They have almost always been for "unrestrained pursuit of profit to the exclusion of all other concerns".

I agree that as soon as they start acting outside public interest they should be reigned in by regulators, the problem is that regulators tend to turn a blind eye when a corporation can pay them to.
That definitely doesn't happen in Chicago. Nothing drives me nuts like pushing on the back door of a bus when it's completely stopped only to jam it cause I jumped the gun by like .2 seconds because the light hadn't come on yet.
Apple's products have been increasingly driven by form over function after Jobs died - most obviously slimness over practicality, and gimmicks like the TouchBar over user delight.

To some extent the change started while Jobs was alive, but there's certainly limited evidence of commitment to beautiful friction-free computing at Apple now - as there was, more or less, when Jobs was in charge.

Watch is a low point, because the case design is far from a classic, and the functionality is crippled by poor performance and limited battery life.

So I agree with those who think Ives is overhyped. He can make hits under supervision, but if he's left unsupervised, he's the design equivalent of an architecture astronaut.

The fact that Jobs had zero interest in a watch speaks volumes. I suspect - but can't prove - that he would also have had zero interest in Hermès branding, and the rest.
Still the majority of the population, as it happens. If serious percentages (say, 60%) of a democracy want something enough that they make it a voting issue, it'll happen eventually. You'll get a candidate who is happy to do 'everything the other guy would do + X'.

The big thing with constitutional changes is that they will normally require serious unity amongst the population, most of whom will likely by default agree with the constitution.

The majority isn't greedy and evil, they just don't put up much of a fight when the politicians 'misunderstand' and implement policy that favours the majority without accepting the damage to a minority. There are a lot of policies like that, and in many cases one suspects the politicians know exactly what they are doing but the public is intellectually lazy.

I don't think this data is correct.

FB has 1.4B Daily Active Users. 1.4B * 30 days = 42B visits/month. That's a lower bound because many Facebook DAUs visit more than once per day.

So the baseline number that this blog cites (~22B visits/month) is almost certainly incorrect.

-5% from that baseline might be significant, or it could be sampling bias.

This should make the Cali housing shortage worse.
Additionally, this method is not susceptible to race conditions when other loop devices are being configured.
Facebook has around 1.5 billion DAILY active users. So if we assume a user only visits Facebook once a day (which seems to me like a laughably conservative number), this is about 1 day's worth of visits.

Realistically, I'd expect the average user to open Facebook maybe thrice a day, or more. Which means this is roughly ~1% of their monthly traffic.

The verdict: nobody gives a shit about their privacy enough to change their habits.
It’s highly amusing to me that you didn’t proofread your comment.

I don't understand why New York has two employees per train. Nearly everywhere else in the world has 1.

The person in the middle's job seems to be operating the doors and making sure the train is berthed correctly, but all you have to do is put a line where the front of the train has to line up and the driver can do it. As for the doors, it's not like the driver has much else to do when in the station.

Well that land is expensive to prevent some guy from simply building a shack for himself.

The more expensive the land, the more likely you’ll build a whole stack of shacks.

For someone buying a $200k house in the central valley, that $10k is still a lot of money, as is $50/mo. When I bought my first home for around that price, $50/mo meant a significant difference in what kind of loan I could qualify for.

Also, why would you assume current interest rates for something that takes effect in 2020 and will last in perpetuity?

I've been in a number of cities where I don't find buses inferior. For me it's even often my personally preferred means of transit, though I've of course ridden my share of poor buses too.

The good case is when they're: frequent, run on arterial routes (no meandering), don't stop excessively often, have routes designed to avoid big bottlenecks like left-turn waits (or have strategically placed bus-only bypasses for those trouble spots), stop in the rightmost travel lane rather than in pullout bays that require merging back into traffic, and have a streamlined payment system (the last two combining to give low dwell times at stops). Doesn't even have to be BRT, but let's say halfway to BRT.

Two cities with those kinds of buses that I've personally experienced recently: Washington, DC, which has nice arterial routes up/down main roads like Massachusetts Ave and 16th St, and Copenhagen, which has a network of "A bus" [1] routes.

Each user making .5 less visits over 30 days? Alone it's meaningless. We need context.

- How was length of visit effected?

- What demographic(s)?

- One month is not a trend!! Not even two is a trend. You need at least 3 to see a trend.

- If the drop was from the previous month, was that month (a typically) up for some reason (e.g., another MSM driven political "controversy")

This kind of date / statistics / "analysis" abuse really bother me.
> 1.3B might be a drop in the bucket for FB

Facebook earned $6.18 per user in Q4 of 2017 [1]. That's about $25 per yyear. 1.3bn users thus represent about $32.5 billion of revenues.

U.S. and Canadian ARPI was $27.76 for the same period [1]. Let's say 880% of those #DeletingFacebook were from those, or similarly-lucrative, rregions. Blended lost ARPU thus estimates to $23.44 per quarter. Across 1.3bn users, that's $128 billion.

Far from a drop in the bucket.

I would appreciate a bulleted list as to why my 5,5 mixed race frame is somehow unequal in engaging my coworker as another's 6,3 white mans. If it could completely explain how my careful quests for affection were dismissed, regarded as unwanted then maybe I would have more sympathy with direct, out of hand dismissals.
URL bar search uses bookmarks, and they also make search useful even after clearing your history.
A fun experiment would be to take a bus line with 20 buses and rather than a uniform $2 fare, do identical buses with a each bus charging one of $0, $1, $5, $10, $50 fares. (Maybe also experiment with something other than just farebox fare — some buses are $50/mo unlimited rides, some are $50 for 10 prepaid rides, etc)
It's also not as meaningful. "Home values so high this tiny lot sold for $983,000" would also be accurate. It's weird to assume people are dumb and can't interpret headlines.
I only use classes when I need to use a ref within a component (which is quite rare). I use redux for all my state management instead of storing state within the component itself. Everything else is a stateless functional component. A typical component would look like

import React from "react";
import { connect } from "react-redux";

function _HelloWorld({name}) {
return <div className="intro">{name}</div>
}

function mapState(state, ownProps) {
return {
name: state.name
}
}

function mapDispatch(dispatch, ownProps) {
return {}
}

export const HelloWorld = connect(mapState, mapDispatch)(_HelloWorld)
I totally get the benefits of a managed service, but...$35/month for 1GB is just silly.
It really calls into question the efficiency of large banks, when by their structure, they have constructed inherent barriers to understanding what loans are a risk in communities. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy that small loans in smaller communities become higher risk...

I see. You, "won't do labor." Most of the time I see the phrase, it's not from good people. It's not like you can CMD-F a sentiment.

So, I just tried it, and I found exactly one match for "unatt" that fit the sentiment discussed from the 1st person. I only found one person who said he, personally, couldn't be friendly to women because he is unattractive. The rest are talking about people in general, and aren't necessarily attached to the ability to be friendly. From what I saw, the issue of being friendly with women is more attached to the problems of risk, and this risk is correlated with relative attractiveness.
Similar to lyft line we want these services to be convenient to the passengers at the same time there is a pool. Based on location and time we might need to change size of the bus and also reduce the number of stops. Unless this is solved no one is going to use it nor going to be profitable
I would love to see a PWA.. In my experience those work (a lot) better than their native counterparts. Some good examples are mobile.twitter.com, instagram.com and maps.google.com
Fair points. Where I live there is actually a very good network of cycle paths.

But I didn't even know they existed until after I got the bike and started planning routes for journeys.

Even if the cycling infrastructure near you is unsuitable, there are still lots of people in places that do have good cycling infrastructure but either don't realise it or just haven't tried it.

Those people should strongly consider trying out an ebike!
Right that's because the value of that land is insane, and getting worse, and out of reach for nearly everyone. No one's outraged someone bought it. No one's saying "hey that's an awful investment".

People are outraged that the housing market in the area is broken, though.
> How would you do this, when a huge percentage of that engergy draw comes from appliances that don't get sold with the house?

With rule for a specified list of standard appliances that the draw would be calculated based on the higher of actual consumption of installed appliances (if any) or standard values based on something like mid-range energy star consumption for a specified feature set.
Yeah, I guess that's so.

There is something going on between Amazon and Google. Both are on AppleTV even though Apple is a competitor. I don't know why Amazon and Google can't play nice.
I disagree with this assertion. Say you move to a lower cost of living area, say 6% cheaper, and your wages decrease by the same amount as the change in COL.

Now all your expenses are 6% lower, but your money left after expenses is also 6% lower. That means that despite being no worse off in terms of quality of life, your savings went down 6%.

Strictly speaking, if you maintain the same relative ratio of costs to savings, it’s always rational to take the highest income, even if it’s in a higher COL area. This is because costs can be measured as a percentage of income, but savings ought to be measured as an absolute value.
The idea is that the bus wouldn't be shitty if it weren't having to compete on equal terms with the rest of the choked traffic.
> But, they do not stop at my door, and they do not stop at where I want to go. Sometimes they stop close, sometimes a few blocks away.

I think it's reasonable to expect a commuter to walk 4-5 blocks on either end of a ride unless they happen to be handicapped. And winter jackets, boots, and umbrellas are available for the conditions you've mentioned.

No one is saying we should ban private cars from cities. Those will be needed, but they should definitely not be the default mode of transportation for most urban dwellers.
I realised the same thing when building Artpip and built up a database of ~25000 images and ~5000 artists via wikimedia's extremely unfriendly API.

I've thought about creating an open dataset that is free to use/download (everything is in the public domain anyway). The thing is, I have around 250GB of images (all images available in 4k) and I'm put off by the cost of hosting. If I were to just serve 2K images then the set would only be around 20GB.

Any suggestions for how to serve such a big file from a website?

I could just make it available as a dat (https://datproject.org), but it's not exactly a widely used technology yet. Maybe I should just make a torrent? Ideally I would be able to update the dataset in the future.
Sounds like my bank in Norway: SBanken.no. It is better than free for me as it pays interest on my current account.
A monthly visit is not the same as a user. Facebook has ~1.4B daily users, each of whom visits many times a month.
It says in the article that the drop equals 5.15% of total visits. Please read the article before commenting.
Matrix/Riot have been what I've been wanting for a long time. My biggest issue at the moment is that communications is an intrinsically social thing. Getting friends and family to swap when there are all these minor polish issues means I'm sitting in a room all by myself. I refuse to give up.

The fact that you all are working so hard on performance and polish really gives me hope that soon I'll be able to pull some less technical people off of hangouts.
You can usually figure that out based on the cost of materials to build + land value. Building houses those size probably costs $250k in the SF Bay, so the house next door is probably worth $1.1mm to $1.2mm.
New idea: mount a camera so that the train's speedometer is in view.

Same here. Learning React for me was pretty simple. I think many get confused as to what React is and what it isn't. Like many view or template libraries, a React "app" is really just a function that takes properties and outputs markup. In React's case, there's a little more behind-the-scenes magic as to when changes propagate to the DOM, but the concept is still very similar. React isn't MVC/MVVM/MV*/etc, it just manages the view layer. With React, you also get the ability to render server-side and target other platforms such as iOS, Android, etc.

Redux on the other hand was a little more confusing for me to learn (the concept makes complete sense, it's the implementation and debugging that gets confusing). The great thing about Redux is that you don't have to use it or learn it. The React ecosystem is pretty well decoupled so you can choose how you want to manage state and async tasks. That is it's biggest selling point for me personally.

My experience with front-end frameworks started with Backbone + a ton of jQuery to AngularJS to React (with many different state management libraries). I found that Backbone didn't really provide much on top of jQuery + lodash/underscore, but I liked that it didn't make too many decisions for you. Angular (v1) on the other hand, forces you into some unconventional patterns (ie: the whole service vs factory fiasco and it's own dependency management system). It's fine if you aren't using a separate dependency management library (or ESM), but if you are, you have to declare dependencies twice. Angular 2/4/5/whatever-arbitrary-number-they-are-on-now has been way more confusing for me to learn as they make you learn their own templating language for things like loops, control flow, etc and still have some weird patterns around dependency injection. JSX is a lot simpler if you know basic JS. React seems to have the least amount of boilerplate code as well especially if you make use of functional components.
This is exactly why I take the bus outside of peak hours though! In particular the M20 from State St/Whitehall up 8th avenue. The MTA is so stigmatized by people under 50 here where "only crazy people and the elderly take the bus".

I'm guaranteed a nice, quiet ride where I get a seat the whole way. It's a little slower, but not much. Meanwhile, the subway is just about unbearable always.

The tricky part is getting the bus driver to even stop for you if you don't "look like you take the bus". 80% of the time I'll be waving them down at the stop and they'll just blow past it if nobody requests the stop inside.

I feel like I am writing something ridiculous, but it's not uncommon for an unmarried woman to wear a wedding band to preempt advances by men. Could we have a world where unmarried men who are concerned about being perceived as making an advance will wear a wedding band to send a signal that they are not interested in the woman they are talking to? (obviously some/many married men make inappropriate advances but perhaps this helps somewhat?)

By restricting ourselves to the JVM, we can introduce Kotlin code gradually because it can run side-by-side with legacy Java code. Unlike the other JVM languages, Kotlin has been designed to work seamlessly with an IDE. It doesn't introduce as much extra symbol syntax as Scala so it's still readable. And it was designed to be statically-compiled from the ground up, unlike Clojure and Apache Groovy which both bolted on clumsy-looking static-typing annotations later on.

It's not so much that it takes a long time to image all of these stars, but that Gaia is measuring parallax which inherently requires taking measurements for 6 months in order for the Earth to go halfway around the Sun. If you want multiple measurements to reduce your uncertainty, you have to do it in 6 month blocks. 10 measurements per star gives you 5 years.
Ah ok. In that case he made himself vulnerable.
For consultants willing to serve a given area, nobody cares where they live when deciding whether to agree to their rate. Supply and demand shouldn't work differently from that for remote workers, unlike local workers where a constraint of the job is usually being in a office. (Even then, the residence address is only implicitly relevant through that constraint.)

Yes, this does mean that a remote job might pay less than SF, but also that it shouldn't vary based on the exact location. One rate for the entire pool of qualified people willing to work during acceptable hours in locations where the company is willing to comply with the employment laws.

That said, if the qualified people tend to live in expensive tech hubs, the rate will end up pretty close to tech hub rates, again due to standard supply and demand.
>If you have income and have and pay any recurring bills (even utilities, etc.) you have credit to exploit;

I was always told this was true, but I waited for years to finally get a credit card or try to apply for a loan. Everyone informed me I had ZERO credit history, despite paying apartment and utility bills for years. I don't have any explanation for why this is true, except that I started my credit from scratch in my late-20s.
