The fundamental problem with this is that it's charity / freeloading. I don't mean this as an ethical complaint, just that the economic incentive isn't there.

I could imagine cryptocurrency potentially offering a solution to this which solves both issues of trust and economics, but it would be a challenge to guarantee its security.
>"Once famous" websites are rarely ever thrown away completely. They are often scrapped for parts, and any nugget of value that still remains, is sold to the highest bidder.

Even sites that are completely healthy and thriving sometimes disappear just because someone drives a dumptruck full of cash into the lobby.

I once turned down a spammer who wanted to buy one of my site's e-mail lists (very targeted, high-value). When I turned him down, he approached my partners and tried to buy the whole site. He told them he was going to shut the site down and just use the e-mail list.

If Volvo's emergency braking were doing that many false positives, then it would be a problem when humans are driving its cars, and I am pretty sure that is not the case, or else the NHTSA, and its equivalents in other countries, would be investigating ordinary Volvos with this feature.

If the claim is that Volvo's system is intervening in valid cases where Uber's system would (arguably) have handled it, then Uber's system is driving too aggressively or is too slow in responding. Humans, when paying attention, can drive Volvo's cars without often triggering the emergency braking.

Or do you have to just round down to zero likelihood at some point.
If the pipeline operator gets accepted into JS[0], I think we should go in the direction of copying those as static methods. An example would look like:

[1,2,[3,4,5]]

|> Array.map((x) => x * 2)
|> Array.reduce((acc, x) => acc + x)

Right, as clarification the problem wasn't that he was non-technical. However because he's non-technical, he reinforces the stereotype of the non-technical founder as scammy con-artist, giving actually talented founders who are great at sales or strategy or operations a bad name.
I would be astonished if google was not recording every bit of data they could from google voice.

They do text transcription for voicemails; I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't have text transcripts of all calls that went through google voice as well.

I have similar concerns about google fiber, although I don't have the evidence to back any of it up.
I think I was using familysearch.org at the time. This was made easier by the fact that there are Mormons in my ancestry and my wife's, and both our families have records of recent ancestors dating back a couple hundred years. (They do gather history on everyone though, not only Mormons.) IIRC, I had to start from someone who was already deceased; I couldn't search living people at the time, at least on that site. I think that was a policy issue, not due to lack of data.

This comes with all kinds of caveats, some mentioned in the article; the records they have contain many errors and omissions and sometimes false history. Often getting multiple sources doesn't help because multiple people copied errors from the same source. But, it's super interesting anyway!
This is what happens when software companies that have traditionally had an incentive to "fail fast, fail often" mentality ship something in the physical world.

Until you find that it has no local variables other than function parameters. In a function, local variables can be simulated by defining additional arguments ... and not passing those. Everything that isn't a function parameter is a global!

Awk is stupidly confused whether it is a two-namespace or one-namespace language (think Lisp-2 vs. Lisp-1). For instance, this works:

function x()
{
print "x called"
}

function foo(x)
{
x() # function x, not parameter x.
}

but in other situations the two spaces are conflated. For instance sin = 3 is a syntax error because sin is the built-in sinusoid function, even though you're using it as a variable, which shouldn't interfere with function use like sin(3.14).

> Awk has it's uses. If you use the command line you'll probably use Awk occasionally.

Agreed -- I use awk all the time in shell pipeline.

> I don't get the Perl hate.

The problem is not with writing Perl -- I don't mind using Perl to write scripts and tools. In fact, I like it better than Python for writing glue code.

Reading Perl code -- especially if the code base is old and has been worked upon by multiple people -- now that is a real pain. Don't get me wrong, I have seen some really well written Perl code and have had the good fortune of working with some really smart Perl programmers. But the majority of Perl code I have encountered has been unreadable mess that makes me want to pull my hair out. There are times when I feel it is more productive to rewrite the code in Python than to spend time on the existing code.

> If you follow clean code principles Perl is fine.

Agreed -- except most Perl coders don't. Worse, they make a large chunk of people who contributed to CPAN -- something which was one of the major reasons behind the popularity of Perl.

> Use the tool that fits the job. I have no loyalties to any programming language.

Couldn't agree more.
We've known for a while now that the driver wasn't using their phone. Instead, they were interacting with the car console where information about the self driving car system was being displayed. During earlier testing there were two test-drivers, one to watch the road and one to watch the console. But to speed up testing Uber had moved to assigning one test driver to both tasks.
According to the article, you only have to scrub the actual PII, not the pointer to it. A pointer that points to nothing is fine, even if it used to point to PII.

And even that is only the case if it's an enterprise holding the PII; if it's out there in the world in a P2P context then the law recognizes that nothing can be done about it.
Pretty much, yes.

> So the fire hose is not the problem, but the fact that other people are often blocking or restricting the manner in which you access it.

I guess it's a matter of words and it might dissolve our question, because the way I see it, "fire hose" == "people are often blocking or restricting the manner in which you access it". At least, that's what I'm trying to mean by opening yourself up to the problem of managing a fire hose of incoming resumes. The platonic ideal of a large stream of resumes that I can easily slice and dice of my own accord, in practice, doesn't exist and would be so rare as to not factor into the discussion.

Traditional TV cut its own throat by expanding commercial air time to the point where customers are actively looking for and consuming alternatives. Rather then address the issue of why traditional TV is being rejected, Comcast is trying to coerce its members into subsidizing TV by making their subscription bundles more competitive then simply getting an internet connection. That won't do much in the long run as people like me start refusing to pay for those extra services (TV, phone). I've already dropped Comcast for Sonic for some for these reasons.

If I was in charge of a TV network, I'd start dropping the amount of ad time during programming and start adding more time to my hit shows. I know there is an ecosystem that makes this challenging, but would you rather spend you life bailing out the water or would you rather just fix the boat?

One reason I don't use Elm and Purescript is that enforcing the purity of functions can be a pain. While pure functions are great in theory, sometimes having a non-pure function is much easier, and I'm okay with my codebase being 99% pure functions.
There are separate rooms (usually hosting about 3 to 10 devs) at the place where I'm at right now.

The previous company where I worked eventually ended up with open floors - once they grew and moved to a new building - but also provided closed rooms in the location before that.

I also happened to worked at our client's office, a large IT company based in Berlin, they had rooms again.

YMMV - depending on your location perhaps - but based on my experience it's not extraordinary at all.
Right, and what is that value, beyond additional speculation?

I thought this and was put off at first, but have come to the conclusion that you really don't need redux (I've used it thoroughly for years).

We've been converting a large JS react app to Reason, and strongly typed props solves a lot of problems. Passing props down multiple children is no longer a burden, and you'll never have that "prop spreading madness". For anything that reaaally requires some sort of global state, you can use the new react context api.

In theory that sounds good, in practice how do you avoid it becoming an unusable mess? This would basically be a repo with millions of potential contributors.
In a sense then you could say it's the Javascript of energy storage.

Not the best on technical merits alone, but good enough along with a massive force of investment and wide adoption.
Thanks a bunch for the response, great advice. We are slowing but surely getting to the point where we can begin building enough income to leave but you are right. It is just hard sometimes as it can be very distracting when all you want to do is code your own stuff. No one said it would be easy so onward we must go, haha.
Why doesn't Clojurescript eliminates the need for something like Redux where Reason does? as mentioned in the article.

Testing is not a valid reason for disabling it, because if it fires, then either Uber's system has failed to respond in time, or it is a false positive, and there cannot be many of those, or else it would be a problem with the relatively large numbers of otherwise ordinary Volvos equipped with emergency braking and being driven by humans.

On the contrary: the Volvo system is designed not to fight but to override any other input, including the human driver. In any other Volvo car currently on the road that detects an obstacle, the Volvo system will override the driver and bring the car to a stop even if the driver insists in hitting the obstacle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKoFalJiazQ

Independently-working override-capable systems are the base of engineering redundancy safety. See airborne collision avoidance systems (ACAS), which will automatically and forcefully steer an aircraft to avoid a collision if necessary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_collision_avoidance_s...
Air is far more explosive than gasoline. Gasoline is practically docile compared to the equivalent energy stored as compressed air. When a vessel of compressed air ruptures, it almost instantaneously decimates everything around it with a powerful shockwave. Think of a popping balloon, but scaled up 10000x. You think a hot water heater is bad? Just imagine the entire house being demolished in a second.

Gasoline, on the other hands, just burns in a hot concentrated fire. It takes entire minutes to kill that which is nearby.
For those interested in the etymology of these:

grep is from the ed command (which itself is short for editor, the original Unix text editor) g/re/p, which Globally searches for a Regular Expression and Prints it.

sed is Stream EDitor.

vi is VIsual editor, which is so named because it's like ed but shows you what you're editing.

Not sure where the name awk comes from.

All of these tools are closely related to the venerable ed(1) command.

So I see Comcast's revenue source under a considerably more realistic threat than Netflix's. Moreover, both have fixed costs but I'm sure Comcast's are higher, having to maintain tons of last mile connections to individual homes.

So yeah, that multiplier disparity may be excessive, but not by much. If Comcast hadn't invested in Hulu, some might even had considered the disparity too small.

I just saw a episode about Angkor Wat on Travel channel where the narrator totally misrepresented the purpose of temple and shiva-lingam.

Foreigner tax can be seen as discount for locals. This is a common practice in USA too where locals get discounts and often free entry into the places like Botanical gardens, public parks and so on. Hunting licenses in your home state are around 10x cheaper than another other state in USA. All the H1b, Gc petitions can be seen as a "foreigner tax". US government forces H1Bs to pay social security but does not allow them to benefit from it. That is far more significant tax than what Cambodia might charge the occasional tourist.
