What options are left for self-hosted chat systems with comparable features? We've been using self-hosted Hipchat at our company and there is zero chance we will ever use a cloud solution.
This looks useful, thanks for the link.

I actually did not know this. Thank you. I had conflated incarceration rate with inmate population. If anyone is curious for a source, see here: https://www.bop.gov/about/statistics/statistics_inmate_race....

I agree with this 100%. But they haven't provided enough information about their dataset to make this conclusion. If they provided enough information for someone to independently analyze the data and reproduce the experiment, I would flip immediately.
HipChat had an on-prem (self-hosted) release, but it's been near-abandoned for quite some time.
Hi! Not Fanghao but another Discord iOS engineer. We wrote our own library for OTA updates but React Native Code Push (https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push) is a pretty reasonable out of the box solution. Because our OTA solution is designed for hotfixing issues rather than feature releases we push to everyone, and we also have a flag that forces our users to relaunch the app if the bug is app breaking.
Even if it was, it isn't now.
Damn, time to get started on React.rs. Is rQuery taken?

Great question. At the time we had a hard time replicating results of that blog post.

Here's some food for thought.

- We recently announced that we've improved our TPC-DS 10T geomean by 5x over past 18 months [0]. The nice thing is that users never had to set maintenance windows or "upgrade their clusters" to get these performance improvements.

- Here's a session by our eng lead and CTO of Looker discussing various performance improvements, including querying a PB of data in ~5 seconds and paying a fraction of a penny for it.[1]

- Benchmarks are important, but they miss three key scenarios.

------ Effort - how much complexity is there to achieve maximum performance. As someone else stated in this thread, we feel that we differentiate here.

------ Maintenance - when data changes, new data comes in, you run DML, what happens to this pristine benchmark of yours? What is required to maintain this performance? Again, we feel that our offering is compelling (we don't ever have messy storage state that requires a vacuum, our compute is entirely stateless so re-sorting/re-distributing data is not needed, and BigQuery ingest never affects query capacity, even at PB/day ingest scale).

------ Real-world usage - a serially-executed set of queries poorly represents what happens in reality - high volatility, high concurrency workloads. Again, BigQuery has stateless compute, separation of compute and storage, and separation of compute and state.

- customers - in addition to what's been stated already, PTAL at Kabam [2] & NYT/Yahoo/BlueApron [3] for their motivations for migrating from Redshift to BigQuery

That said, lots of folks really like running on Redshift, and they've extended their platform with Spectrum and other bits. I'd invite you to find out what works best for you. Competition is good for the end user!

Yes: see redlining, racial profiling, etc. All of these can be "justified" by appealing to measured risk, but we consider them very discriminatory from both an ethical and a legal perspective.

Think about it, though - what is really being measured? Maybe there's a small subset of super high-risk male drivers who the rest of us are subsidizing. If they were to base my insurance rates on measurable individual characteristics, that would be much less suspect IMO.
I've never really gotten into any of Atlasssian's products. It seems like they make tools for managers with bolt on functionality for engineers (which may be why I never caught onto their products). I hope this is good news for Slack, but as a software engineer today, Atlasssian's products are not the first ones I would recommend in any category.
If a car loan is involved, maximum insurance might be required as a condition. Combining that with young male driver, you get a very large number. Also, Canadian dollars, not USD.
I agree. I don't think the aeroplanes will ever been able to achieve lift. I'm skeptical of anyone who attempts anything that hasn't been done before.
Thanks! The only Electron app I use is Visual Studio Code and it works great so was curious.

(Crazy btw that I get downvoted to oblivion within seconds for asking an honest question.)
It's a $30,000 car and the insurance is probably comprehensive. He could save money by only buying 3rdparty liability (the legally required coverage). If you could afford to replace the car, that's usually the better option.
It's definitely feasible and widely used for reinforcement learning on low dimensional systems, where the neural networks are small and the simulator is more expensive than backprop. On other hand, deep Q learning from pixels on Atari is practically impossible without GPUs.
Stride was launched last year. I guess it didn't get much traction then if they gave up on it in less than a year. For consumer it is of course bit sad to see the 800lb gorilla just keep growing and eating up competition, but I can see how this makes sense to at least Atlassian; they are getting better Slack integrations, and possibly other partnership benefits for what seems like essentially free. Not sure how much this move will benefit Slack (the company, not the product), but maybe they'll absorb few more customers this way. Although I imagine many Hipchat/Stride admins will be reevaluating their choices instead of just jumping blindly to Slack.

We moved to RocketChat, which is gradually getting there.
If thats what was happening, Slack would be migrating over to Hipchat.
No. Hipchat had an on-prem option. In fact, I'm kind of stunned to see that the blog post on Slack's website doesn't mention the on-prem version at all. Given that on-prem was one of the differentiators that Hipchat had against Slack (and one of the reasons that many companies stuck with Hipchat, even though Slack had more features), the lack of discussion around the on-prem version seems like a huge mistake.
The situation you just described is one where two people do the same thing, one is punished and one is not. Justifiable to question that.

Even those less competition normally isn't good I'm hopefully optimistic about this. It seems by and large slack has won the chat wars for open projects/podcast live chat/business. My company uses HipChat (due to being in the Atlassian suite) and so I'm not going to have both Slack and HipChat open but if we move to Slack it means I can participant in some other open Slack channels.
I think it’s at least partly about space efficiency. A bar chart with a few tall bars and many much shorter ones ends up wasting a large amount of space, while a Voronoi makes effective use of the whole graph area to represent data. This allows the area representing small ‘bars’ to be larger given constant graph size, and therefore more clearly represents them.

> Do men really have more tickets and accidents? Maybe. Or maybe they just get caught more.

The internet seems to indicate that men do cause more accidents, but they also drive more on average. Insurers would only be interested in the likelihood of a payout, so they should rationally charge men more. Also, men get far more DUIs (big payout).

* NOTE: not a rigorous investigation of the numbers.
It's interesting to see how elements of a given political situation are extracted from their context, then dressed up emotively ("the EU is trying to take away our cuppa!") in order to herd people into supporting a position.

What if the insurance company used machine learning to calculate the premium, which resulted in correlations with gender, race, etc.? Is that also considered discrimination?Whose fault is that?
Which goes back to the original point. You don't need to be afraid of foreigners to not want them emigrating into your country en-masse(or, have the free option to should they be willing to take it). Just like you don't need to be afraid of strangers or anti-social to not want strangers to live in your house.
Keep in mind that you are viewing the orbit in projection. The axes are simply the angular offset from the pointing.

Before I give away the punchline, try to imagine the orbit in a reference frame centered at the location of the black hole. Obviously, the motion should be elliptic; lets define a Cartesian coordinate system such that, say, the x-y plane coincides with the plane of the elliptic orbit. Now, we know that the black hole should reside at the focus of this orbit. But, as a far away observer, what are the chances that you would be seeing the orbit exactly face-on - i.e., you are sitting on the z axis, just really far away?

So, yes, the black hole is at the focus of the elliptic orbit, not the focus of the ellipse formed from the projection of the orbit onto your plane-of-sky, which geometry tells us is also an ellipse.

BTW, this isn't a problem for the astronomers. You can back out exactly what that inclination of the orbit is, provided you can measure the line-of-sight velocities of the star. (Actually, relative velocities will do; no absolute calibration necessary.) This is easily done by looking for some distinctive stellar spectral features and noting their relative shifts at different parts of the orbit. From this you can reconstruct the orbit completely. The key scientific results they derived was the even subtler redshift of these spectral features as the gravitational field grew stronger when the star approached the black hole.

edit: actually, you could do even better, and use the offset of the black hole from the elliptic focus, and use projective geometry to get the inclination angle!

As someone who uses both Slack and HipChat on a daily basis, I am very happy to see that HipChat is the one shutting down. The "cute" features that Slack adds aren't worth much individually, but the overall user experience is much better on Slack than HipChat.

If by "anti-competitive" you mean all of a sudden there's less competition, then yes it is although that's nothing unique, competing companies merge or make strategic deals all the time. But if you mean "anti-competitive" as in violating anti-trust laws then probably not given the amount of choice that still exists and the apparent lack of monopolistic strong-arm tactics being employed by either side. I'm no lawyer of course.

Edit: Original made it sound like I was suggesting the companies were merging, which isn't the case.

Bias, according to google:

> prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

Data can't be bias. It can be a misrepresentation or inaccurate, but not bias. If I have an accurate data-set that say ethnic group X in area Y has a higher rate of violence, and because of that I make the choice to charge higher premiums for group X- is that bias? No.

You can't scream bias when you don't like the conclusions the data draws. Drawing conclusions from data isn't bias-ed(?) but using only that data might be.
Okay, so given that Atlassian has a clear and direct reason to develop a competitive chat application, presumably they'll embark on producing a new solution and marketing it to their customers as a competitor to slack? I'm not sure I buy it.

>Although it reduces competition in short term, it’s likely to give more competition in the long term by creating a strong competitor to Microsoft.

That's pretty dependent on which way Slack decides to go in terms of facilitating large Enterprises' needs for absolute control of and visibility into communications platforms. Monitoring and governance of Slack is, at present, a goddamned nightmare. The third party tools that currently exist are, in my experience, somewhat unreliable, and all of them are crippled by the fact that Slack's API drastically limits visibility into the platform. I've worked with more than one very large Enterprise customer with special compliance needs whose Slack instance(s) are one foul-up away from having a regulator rain down fines/sanctions, and in every case Slack is pretending like the issues don't exist while my customers shove their head in the sand. And compliance aside: the Slack API doesn't even have methods in place to deal with things like emoji-react trolling on read-only announcement channels, and a plethora of other little features required to control toxic and obnoxious behaviors.

I love Slack to death, but it's not an Enterprise product yet.

What are you trying to accomplish by saying stuff like this? The subject of your sentence is "corruption and shady behavior." It's false that corruption and shady behavior are "accepted everyday by people everywhere now" without extraordinary evidence that you fail to provide.

That is, unless when you say "accepted" you mean "endured," and you just chose your words poorly.
Of course, in an ideal world, the obvious technical flaws in chat products would easily enable competitors to “take on” the broken ones.

I don't see anything on the landing page either, but this text from the "overview" page of the documentation seems to imply debit:

[...] The merchant then captures (clears) the authorization, at which point a transaction is created and the held funds are deducted from your account.
Why would you mention a feature that cuts against your core business model?
tl;dr: Atlassian discontinues HipChat, sells some important HipChat's IP to Slack, and is concentrating on a better Slack integration.

I never thought of c being a real problem to space travel. Sure, on the timescale of our lives c is sloooow because moving between stars automatically necessitates a multi-generational approach and/or huge amount of resources. The big problem however, is that we have no place to go. We are tied to earth. Our bodies are made for a specific gravity constant, specific distance from a specific star, specific atmospheric mix of gases, a pre-existing DNA-based fauna and flora, etc. Quite simply, when it comes to colonization: there's no place like home. Every other place sucks for our bodies.

Once we achieve the singularity(tm) and upload our consciousness (or get replaced by AI), we can turn down the clock speed on the matrix (say turn 1,000,000 real years into 1 matrix year), and like magic c stops being a practical limitation. Sending message (or travelling) from one side of the galaxy to another would take a 'matrix month' .. turn the clock down even further and you can make galactic communication instantaneous.
