It's drastically easier to roll out a new technology than change a government policy which all major political parties are more or less comfortable with.

Governments take time to adapt to new technology, so keep the new technology moving faster than the government knows how to deal with it........
What a lot of people seem to forget is their backers voted to keep going:

To a lot of backers this isn't just a game, they wan't to build a space matrix.

Lets also remember that crowd funding is not the only way this game has been funded, primarily yes but there's always been private equity and I wouldn't be shocked if we hear about more in the future.

You need a charging network to fix range anxiety, and infrastructure to make batteries at scale. Charging network the major brands don't really have an answer for yet. And as for batteries, the major brands are still stuck at the small batch, high end segment of the market, because no one makes enough batteries to tackle the lower ends of the market except Tesla — everyone else just buys their batteries from Asia. BMW is trying to reopen their old, shuttered plants, but still are only aiming to be able to support 20-25% of their cars being electric by 2025, despite claiming that a fraction of that by 2020 constitutes "mass production." [1]

That's a long "for now."

3 Product Review Monitoring Challenges (and How You Can Overcome Them)
As an older engineer currently having fun digging into ML: yep, a well thought-out set of good-ol business rules can do a lot of what teams are applying ML to these days.

Nothing wrong with learning new things, though. I can get behind that. It's important to stay intellectually honest, however.

On the other hand, research efforts on vision, language and autonomous systems are genuinely pushing boundaries.
That does not address the tracking I have a problem with so not exactly a solution. Every time I use that throw away account on any pc I become connected forever to that pc in many data points. Youtube is getting plenty of data even if I use a throw away account. I would need to make a new throw away account, from a different ip address each time I wanted to do as you describe to avoid tracking so sometimes I just don't bother with the video.
As already pointed out, the airlines lose no actual money, but you are right in that they lose the theoretical difference between the discriminated price and the one they paid. That's not a legal debt, though.

it doesn't. NSA has had room 631 at AT&T for over a decade now. and, of course, everywhere else. there's almost certainly an API for government agencies that they can query without any new warrants -- think facebook, google, amazon, etc.

ehhhhhhh I am not so sure the main limiting factor in going on to grad school is access to quality undergraduate education. a diligent student at the top public school in every state is probably qualified to go do research in graduate school.

I'd imagine a more limiting factor is the a) willingness to work really hard for 6+ years for uncertain rewards for the joy of research with very low wages. especially when you can go into industry and make 100k+ b) student loans-see low wages as an academic.

As an academic in ML at least-I think there are more than enough academics in the field or trying to get here....look at NIPs submissions!

The iOS music app has gone downhill just as much as desktop iTunes. Open it and the screen is filled with options I have never and will never use, except "Playlists". Then you open that and it only fits 4 playlists on the screen at a time, so you have to scroll very far to find the one you want.

Ugh, just give me back the iOS 5 music app.

Twilio to Acquire Sendgrid

One point in defense of the airlines that people often forget. There are certain taxes and fees the airlines must pay when a passenger flies from A to B. However, the government of location B waives fees for connections flying from A to B to C. That makes sense; the passenger never actually visited B.

Passengers can find a cheaper ticket flying JFK->TPE->HKG and ditching the final leg (carry-on only). However, if an airline "knows" a passenger will skip the final leg, then they are helping the individual evade a legitimate tax.

I agree with everything you said.

I do think you need to have deadlines. They can be more flexible but deadlines help at least keep groups of the class at the same pace. The more people participating, the more relaxed the deadlines can be. I've seen some courses that have so many people, you could honestly take the class at your own time & always have people to discuss the current lecture with.

In the case of a real MIT online degree, I would support a schedule that mimics the campus schedule. If you have other schedules/travel/etc., then sign up only for 1 course at a time & understand what you're committing to.

I get scaling is hard the more "real" you make the course. I feel you can have a nice balance between hiring assistants to help with grading & discussions by increasing the cost somewhere in between on-campus & average MOOC prices.
Depending on your definition of "current" the MiG-25 can fly at up to Mach 3.2 (at risk of damage to the airframe) and even though it was introduced in the 70s is still in service.

I wonder how much of this is an accurate portrayal of Google culture, and how much is disgruntled former employee syndrome.

"in describing how his unit was organized, Knutson paints a picture of a political, haphazard, wasteful and ultimately disappointing division where it was never quite clear who should be working on what or why. In fact, though he says he thought he was “joining the big leagues” when recruited by Google, Knutson wound up taking a job with Dropbox shortly afterward in order to escape from the corporate leviathan."

It also sounds from his own telling like Knutson might have been canned eventually."

Rethinking Maps for Self-Driving
I'll call out one channel that I haven't seen on this thread -- the Computer History Museum in Mountain View publishes some astonishing oral history videos, presentations and other footage. So many of the challenges that pioneers faced in the past have historical resonance; and unlike almost any other major human revolution, the pioneers of our space are captured in video that is readily available to all.

So you can hear the likes of Fred Brooks talking about IBM's approach to unifying operating system interfaces with System/360[1], Bjarne Stroustrup describing the origins of C++ [2], or watching Charles Simonyi and Tom Malloy demonstrating Bravo, the Xerox PARC document writer [3].

Some quite astonishing material hidden in their archive that hasn't in my view had nearly the audience it deserves.

So I guess United is going to fairly compensate me for the night I spent sleeping in the Philly airport because they canceled my final segment? I'll take cash, no united points for me.

Their definition of `fraud` is insane, but if they want to open the door for more recourse when things don't happen as scheduled I'm okay with that. I think United owes the majority of their customers quite a bit more than hidden city fare users owe them.
I did not, I stated that nothing has changed: before people only knew PC buckets and Windows, now PC buckets and Linux is the only truth and religion. Nothing else exists. So the more things changed, the more they stayed the same. That's progress!

I also listed several alternatives just a few comments below, but apparently you didn't read that. You know of the old saying "you can bring a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink"?
If we lose such distinctions in the workplace, then there will just be context-specific oppression in the workplace. Livelihood is a major part of life. The spirit of such principles should be in force everywhere of importance in a free society. A free, liberal society accomplishes by convincing and by choice what an oppressive society accomplishes by heavy-handed imposition and coercion. Pay attention to what you're really asking for. It may well be around long enough to be used against you.

I'm highly skeptical that peak oil will happen from lack of supply. I'm betting it will happen from lack of demand. Petroleum extracting technology gets better, and is always increasing viable reserves of existing oil fields.

The key is to accept that you'll never "earn as much as you should", let it go, and just live your life, find problems worth solving, and solve them. The rat race pays you one price in your hand while simultaneously taking another one out of your back pocket.
It won't, because at that price point it's cost-effective to manufacture gasoline using algae or other biological techniques.

the only reason why we pump oil out of the ground is because it's the cheapest way to manufacture gasoline and diesel fuel.
Removing Old Versions of TLS
> This is insane on a whole other level, because United profits when you don't get on that 2nd leg.

Not necessarily. If you use use hidden-city ticketing, they lost out on extracting the extra money they wanted to charge you for going to your intended destination AND the extra money they may have been able to charge someone else for the leg you didn't take.

That said, I think it's the airline's fault for using an over-complicated pricing model with odd behaviors that customers can take advantage of like this. There'd be no issue if they just charged the same per leg regardless of your final destination. That'd make everything transparent and totally remove the need for hidden-city ticketing.
Anything that makes the user invest a bit in the reputation of their account before they are allowed to message strangers would do the trick. Charge $10 for signing up. Limit @-mentions until you have built up a small following and activity track record. Require an application to join the forum. Etc, etc.

If a cost is evenly moderately costly to create, and abusive comments quickly result in bans, then the ratio of abusers quickly goes down to a very low level.

The problem is that making it costly to sign up goes against the business model and growth model of sites like Twitter, Reddit, or Instagram.
Gold to Bitcoin analogies are false marketing.

BTC inflation is currently higher than USD

Historically, Bitcoin started off as a hyperinflationary mint in order to produce the supply rapidly before the general public would be able to access the production methods.

Aprox 4.11% of Bitcoin users (addresses) control 96.53% of all bitcoins in circulation.
Also there's a chance that something will make Bitcoin obsolete in the near future - immediately destroying the trade value of Bitcoin, either a new cryptocurrency, a quantum computer or cryptographic breakthrough that would allow theft of BTC private keys or more predictably a bug like what recently happened in the main Bitcoin core wallet client software which allowed a user to inflate the supply of Bitcoins past 21 million and mint more BTC for free.

Here’s an explanation on how the Bitcoin market differs vastly from Gold speculation markets:

It's usually simpler than that - price competition is a major factor in most of these cheaper tickets. Airlines don't think in terms of segments, they think in terms of routes (because that's ultimately what a consumer bases shopping decisions on). If a competitor has a cheap and popular X-Z flight, then you will want to make X-Z cheaper even if you don't have a direct flight. But, if your competitors don't fly X-Y, or they charge more (because they have to go X-W-Y), then you have zero incentive to make X-Y cheaper.

Airlines generally also avoid empty seats, because it almost always means lost revenue. They'd rather overbook and risk having to compensate bumped passengers than have no-shows. Combine these factors, and you can see why they're really unhappy about people skipping the Y-Z flights.

Of course, in most situations, consumers are not penalized for using or consuming only part of a purchased good or service, even if they deliberately discard part in order to save money. United is in the wrong here, and I doubt a court would agree with them.

How old is the cut off age for enrollment?
I'm honestly confused why you work that much. Are you getting a lot of company stock? Whatever your % increase in salary was cannot be realistically worth the extra time and mental effort you are spending.
Speaking as a PM with 5 years of engineering across the stack at decently big companies, I would say that it’s my job to push towards a bias for business value and the TL + engineering members job to push back when it’s time to prioritize the tech debt.

Trust me, I’d love to dig into the code (and most of the engineering team doesn’t realize I read their PRs + code every day still so I’m well aware when they’re sane-bagging) but the goal of a well run team is push/pull.

I can weigh the benefits of a product feature from the business and engineering tech debt, retention, etc angles and I do from time to time when the team doesn’t step up but I’m going to be biased towards shipping business value because I’m the umbrella that catches all the praise and the shit-storm when things go wrong.

You need a ton more victories to survive in PM world then you do in Eng world. It’s easier to be mediocre in Engineering then product b/c you’re gone after the 2nd or third bad launch.
Extracting and burning fossil fuels release carbon that is already stored in the Earth, while biofuels capture carbon from the atmosphere when the feedstock is grown then release it when the resulting fuel is burned. That is why biofuels are considered to be carbon-neutral.

>The real question: Why do we let governments get away with this kind of behavior?

Not many care anymore about privacy except basically, us, the tech power user community and then a few stragglers. This new generation just doesn't care because they never really grew up with any in the first place, just shoved right into Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. They probably didn't go too depth into privacy laws, why your privacy matters in their grade school either.
> The state has the monopoly on violence.

It's true that one particularly useful definition of a state is whatever entity exercises a monopoly on legitimate (a key qualifier) violence in a particular territory. But that is not an inherent property of whatever entity calls itself a state, and failures of legitimacy can cause a state to fail and be replaced; that a thing is called (and even moreso that it calls itself) the state has little bearing here. The definition provides a test for whether something actually is the state, not whether it may engage in violence.

Clearly, in the eyes of any group deploying violent direct action, the legitimacy of the State has been compromised if not entirely lost.

> Principled non-violent protest is the mark of a true activist.

It's the mark of an adherent to a particular ideology of activism, whose effectiveness (without some other group deploying or credibly threatening violence against the same target that they oppose) and morality in the face of extreme abuses have both been seriously questioned.

> Stop using the word "earning". We get paid, we don't necessarily earn our pay.

Beautifully put. I kind of want to frame this, because it captures the brutal honesty of compensation.
It's interesting SendGrid is worth so much, while I believe they were one of the first players in the outbound space, competitors such as Mailgun, Amazon SES, and Postmark have very competitive products at lower prices. Seems like a heavily commoditized business. I'm guessing SendGrid just has a lot of "enterprise" clients and contracts that rake in revenue.
They are offering more service for less money? Their pricing scheme is broken. Consumers should continue taking advantage of it until it become so cost prohibitive that they correct their pricing incentives.
Even though 100 companies are responsible for the bulk of climate change, lets keep painting it as the moral failure or greed of the general masses.
I imagine we'll need pretty substantial upgrades to our electrical grid if we want electrical charging to be ubiquitous.

A typical home peaks at 15-30 kW, whereas a single DC fast charger can use as much as 62 kW or 500 kW.

Even a L2 charger uses something like 6.6-19.2 kW; if you tried to retrofit a Wal-Mart parking lot to have L2 chargers at every parking spot you'd probably need to build a new electrical power plant next door.
Venmo harassment is a problem too. Turns out people will spend a dollar to send a threatening message to their ex.
When you produce fuels by biological means, the carbon in those fuels is captured from the atmosphere.

Thus biological fuels are carbon neutral. No new carbon is added.

(For the same reason, if you heat your home with wood, the only new carbon comes from the energy used to cut the wood down and transport it to your home. The carbon released from your chimney is neutral because the tree captured that carbon from the atmosphere while it was growing.)
You would be surprised how hard is and how many years takes to be a good cabinetmaker.
> There is no debt, though.

No-one's disputing that. The parent post is supposing that because taking this to court and proving that United violated the law is expensive (in both money and more importantly effort), a large enough percentage of people will not do it.

It's yet another example of the mere involvement of the legal system being used as a deterrent against individuals, regardless of who's in the right.
