My comment was unintentionally overgenerous. I’ve corrected my statement after reviewing the aviation stackoverflow site, and flushed it out with more details (specific aviation terms).
Well I guess car and cdr literally were CPU instructions back in the day, but it doesn't really make you a low level language in the way that C is. i.e: The entire language is really a thin wrapper over the assembly language which itself is an abstraction of the byte code. Most languages have arithmetic and more advanced mathematical operators that reflect actual op codes in the cpu, but that doesn't make those low level either.

Decompression is usually cheaper (CPU-wise) than compression so technically you’re trading their CPU for less of your bandwidth and CPU.

If you do it right you can even keep the content stored compressed without re-compressing by saving the compressed byte stream directly.
Closing credit cards can affect your credit score because your credit line will decrease from the loss of cards, so your utilization ratio (balance / credit line) will increase. The usual advice is to try to consolidate your credit line before closing, but that might be harder when switching providers. Still, you can easily reduce the utilization by just paying the balance. So closing accounts does not have too much of a negative affect on your credit score. (My understanding is it does not affect age of accounts, because closed accounts continue to "age." Not sure about that though.)
Consider that if you go buy an equivalent item at a box store, there aren't any reviews, the company (sometimes companies) with products on offer just happens to have enough money to get the stores to stock them over any potential competition. Similarly with fake and paid reviews, those companies happen to have money to do it (and do it better than competition, they can't all be using the same github script). A company with money to do things like that surely has some amount of money in the product itself, so what you get will probably work out as well as what you'd get from the store...

The bigger problem for Amazon I think is fake products and inventory co-mingling, rather than fake reviews per se. But while others are complaining about the 5-star system not being very good (there's a fancy Bayesian system I've seen before that's better..), at least Amazon shows you the distribution, reviewers can upload photos, and it lets you filter by star count to get a sense of the things said for various ratings.

I'll have to start trying out the fake review spotting tools. But I don't think my current behavior will change that much...

Way more opportunities in China to make a lot of money, especially after studying abroad and bringing western ideas back home. I am not Chinese, but speaking from experience.
That's a very good counter argument, but the real question is whether Uber Eats is profitable or close to being profitable. If it is, you are right and I'm totally wrong and they should kill every side project (including probably driverless car technologies) and keep Eats and Ride Sharing.

If Uber Eats isn't close to profitability it means they are far behind GrubHub despite their advantage of their massive synergy, and have little hope to catch up (in profitability, even if Uber Eats can give away enough services to outgrow Grubhub in revenues that would be a pyrrhic victory).
Users can post to their own profile subreddit, or any of the other subreddits that they have permission to post to. That's relatively new, and came with the new profiles and part of the redesign. Both are needed, information could be missed.
You could work with them the same way intermodal rail container operations function, where trains carrying hundreds of containers are last-miled by specialized drayage companies that pick the containers up at rail yards and bring them to consignees (destination customers).

Doing the same but with pools can of driverless trucks all dropping off trailers at a designated transfer yard would require very little modification to this very mature but little known niche of freight logistics. The economics would be similar.
It looks like they're trying to leverage the Firefox for the main logo for Mozilla, which is the rather disconnected `moz://la`.

I've probably read a hundred or so pages on my own, and 'recaps' by Russel, Durant, and have spoken with practicing philosophers about him. I have enough exposure that I've been able to make much more sense of why later philosophers seem obsessed about certain points that only make sense if you consider the historical philosophical tradition from Plato. But hearing people talk about him, especially when they insist on his continued relevance, it makes me think either I'm missing something or they're faking something.

But then again, I'd answer the questions you mentioned in a way I feel that most philosophers would find to be 'missing the point'. For example:

> What is justice?

A concept useful for regulating human societies. It's based on ultimately arbitrary heuristics that are effective for satisfying an approximately maximum number of people.

> What is good?

A word we use to label a fundamental behavior in our brains: we use values as something like utility functions in optimization processes. Ultimately there are constraints placed on the values we're capable of selecting which are imposed on us by our evolved biology, but we do have a good amount of freedom, so by studying human nature we can figure out which values are the most effective for creating the sort of lives we're interested in.

> What is the best way to govern?

We don't know yet. There probably is no best. If there is, we'll probably find it algorithmically.

> What is true?

There is too much ambiguity here to really answer, so I'll just choose one interpretation and say: whatever it is, it's highly unlikely that human minds would be capable of 'understanding' it ('understanding' being a human faculty, and not likely something important to the nature of the universe).

> Where does knowledge come from?

Brains.

> Why should any of this matter?

Because experience is real.

>but do I really need to read thousands of pages of his dialogues (as a modern reader!)

Yes. For one, because those are foundational texts of the western civilization. Even if Plato's text were insignificant, understanding one's civilization (in a way that goes beyond the pop culture of the day) remains as illuminating as ever.

Second, because texts written 100, 50, 20 and 1 year ago are still influenced by them, including seminal texts in their own right.

Third, because good philosophy (including theology) is perennial, not tied to this or that era. If anything, it will be this or that era that will come to pass, while Platos ideas (and other such inquiries) will still be around.

It's like Lisp: those who don't understand philosophy will construct their own philosophical system badly (or adopt wholesale some poorly made IKEA-grade one, adapted to appeal to consumers of their era -- from the plethora of self-help gurus to various pulp attempts at philosophizing).
I feel everyone ping-pongs between these ideas; I've been there and I'm no longer convinced the way you are. You can't take single threaded code and just make it multithreaded no matter how much time the compiler spends on it. And in a JIT environment, the compiler doesn't actually get much time to spend optimizing code.

You can't just take advantage of SIMD, hyperthreading, multicore, or large caches without writing code in a way that takes advantage of that even at a high level. Some things can be faster when compiled at runtime but everything is a trade off.

But ultimately I believe that C is fast mostly due to manual memory management but that's not a trade-off I'd take for most tasks.

How about we start with self-driving _trains_ that don't fly off the rails when some train engineer ignores the speed limit, and don't run into each other due to mis-routing. That'd be a good start for this whole "self driving" thing.

>You can easily create a model that knows nothing about the view without Vuex/Redux.

Sure, but why not use the standard solution for the ecosystem.

As far as that linked Abramov post, it felt like a hedge to me. Basically he's saying you don't need redux to write a react app, which is a truism, then lists all the reasons why you should use redux.

Redux "code" is a simple library. But if you follow Abramov's architecture opinions that he only implies in the redux guide, you end up with a full highly scalable front-end framework architecture.

Plus vanilla react is non-deterministic with state. Redux solves this problem and that alone is worth the price of entry.
Like it or not these pensions are already legal obligations of state and local governments. Yell about or at the unions all you want, but if these obligations are not met, get ready for lawsuits and negative consequences for municipal credit ratings. Would you rather pay somewhat higher taxes now to cover pension obligations, or significantly higher taxes later because of the higher muni bond rates your state will have to deal with when the problem worsens (or your state is forced into bankruptcy)?

This is not just a problem of public employees or their unions. You are on the hook for these payments and will remain on the hook even if starting today everyone had a defined-contribution plan. Yes, this is your problem too.
> monolithic large relational databases are hard to scale

DB2 on z/OS was able handle billions of queries per day.

In 1999.

Some greybeards took great delight in telling me this sometime around 2010 when I was visiting a development lab.

> When you have one large database with tons of interdependencies, it makes migrating data, and making schema changes much harder.

Another way to say this is that when you have a tool ferociously and consistently protecting the integrity of all your data against a very wide range of mistakes, you have to sometimes do boring things like fix your mistakes before proceeding.

> In theory better application design would have separate upstream data services fetch the resources they are responsible for.

A join in the application is still a join. Except it is slower, harder to write, more likely to be wrong and mathematically guaranteed to run into transaction anomalies.

I think non-relational datastores have their place. Really. There are certain kinds of traffic patterns in which it makes sense to accept the tradeoffs.

But they are few. We ought to demand substantial, demonstrable business value, far outweighing the risks, before being prepared to surrender the kinds of guarantees that a RDBMS is able to provide.

> I suppose we're reading the page differently. If you don't think that page is evidence enough...

The page is a list of examples of Coffescript done in Javascript. Whether they show evidence of Javascript taking features from Coffescript isn't really a subjective question; they do or they don't. I explicitly enumerated which do and which don't.

In terms of "experiencing the times differently", that is subjective, so I guess we did. One blog post from Eich on why he doesn't want to remove braces isn't really holistic, but you might be right in general.
> But this just scratches the surface.

I'd be curious to hear about any others.

Additionally, my understanding is that his actual argumentation is generally pretty bad and he's really just trying to convince people of things that the thinks would be effective for them. That's mostly coming from reading Bertrand Russel, but the fact that his arguments are bad (structurally, not just because of the data he's missing) seems to be uncontroversial from what I can tell.
MoviePass CEO: “Tickets to Major Releases Will Not Be Available on App”
The trucking industry and rail freight industry overlap extensively, in the form of intermodal freight
> It seems like everything about automating a truck would be more expensive (cost of 1 truck = 5-6 cars),

Yes, the initial cost is about that. But, the truck is directly making money whenever it's rolling, and an automated truck would presumably roll more than a driven truck, since that's an advertised feature. A car is usually only indirectly making money at best during the few hours of the day that it rolls (getting you to work, or to the park and ride).

BTW, there has been a partial solution to "trucks don't make money when the driver sleeps" problem for years. Team driving. You have two drivers, and one sleeps in the back while the other drives. That gives a truck up to 22 possible hours per day, 11 federally regulated hours per driver.

> Edit: even on 'simple' point A to point B route that involve 99% highway, what happens when a small part of the highway shuts down for whatever reason (flooding, multi-lan accident, fire, etc) and all traffic is routed on smaller adjacent streets? Automating a truck is as hard or harder than automating a car, there's no way around it.

As I mentioned elsewhere, if automated trucks are on the road, what you describe would already be solved by necessity, because you already have to go through surface streets to get you your shipper or receiver. Or, in an often imagined scenario, to get to the "freight yard" where humans would drive the first and last miles. Yes, automating a truck is at least as hard as automating a car.

The actual problem in your emergency scenario is getting the truck to follow the diversion. Right now it's cop-eyeball to trucker-eyeball communication, or even just an orange sign on a saw horse. That'll have to be worked out, plus fallbacks, but it will.
Great redirect, but you failed to answer the actual question. But first a rebuttable.

First of all the life expectancy between college education and highschool education is 12 years. So that's only a 4 year shorter gap. (Perhaps universal medical care would fix this problem)

Second, do you seriously think the US has the capacity to handle 2 million unemployed truck drivers in the course of a couple years? That's a 10% increase overnight, and I have news for you, schools are already overburdened. (Perhaps free college education would provide the money to improve capacity, and fix two problems with one stone)

Third, the real problem is the jobs. What job are they going to do once they get their degree. Millennials are already one of the most highly trained yes underpaid generations yet, and they have the advantage of youth. The jobs aren't coming back from these sorts of events. (Perhaps a universal basic income would fix this problem)

And finally the real question was: What are we going to do about it. It was a request to have a conversation about the solution. Not to stop it from happening. I've provided my solutions, in the spirit of conversation I would be curious to see what you identify as problems, and your proposed solutions.
As far as I know this works but more as a hack not as a robust officially supported solution.
Yes, because everyone in the commercial chain forgot about freight trains when they decided to start using trucks to move goods around.

It might be. My personal experience though is that whenever I go (usually peak time on weekdays), it is 98% empty (only the typical couple central seat being used).

The movie is going to be projected with or without more people. Even selling the seat for 0.5$ generate some money for the theater, and probably even more given what the average user spends at the concessions.
I'm oversimplifying since the Producers of the movie request X$ per ticket, but you get the idea.

MoviePass managed this badly, but there is definitely an opportunity here.
I don't disagree. You're not likely to get a 300% premium over market rates, and you're okay with that. Sounds like everybody wins :)
I would argue that in 95 was recently the first jdk 1.0 release, it was until 2004 which came java 5 with java.util.concurrent which was such huge improvement for that time, since then is easier to write concurrent software, and since java 8 is a wonderful experience!
Somewhat unrelated to the topic, but why did you decide to host source code on GitHub, but project issues and feature suggestions on GitLab?
Makes me wonder how many of those guides have been paid for, or at least what level of influence advertisers have on them. Nevertheless, I agree that a quality guide is well appreciated, however hard to come by.
And while productivity has increased constantly, wages have stagnated. Companies need to start paying their much more productive workers a lot more money, or the benefits from the increased productivity will never be realized as growth (because that money won't go back into the middle class who are the most effective economic engines of growth per dollar earned).
