My personal observation why Amazon was always going to move to LIC (New York City) and it has been decided if not years then months earlier: I live in NYC. I have a very good friend who moved to LIC in March this year. You have to understand that there is already abundance of construction going on in LIC for past few years, but not at an aggressive rate. But within a radius of three block where she lives (near FoodCellar market and Hayden something condos) construction peaked. I can count there are 7-8 aggressive construction going on this area alone. My understanding is clearly city leaked/shared this information with builders months in advance so that they can get a head start on these new condos. This area I am referring to is near One Court Sq (one of the buildings shortlisted for potential Amazon HQ).

None of their code repos seem to have been updated for years. Good riddance, too. Object storage is a fine thing, but their implementation was laughably bad.

https://pl.atyp.us/2013-10-comedic-open-storage.html
The paragraphs help a lot, thanks for adding.

What is the goal? I mean you don't want to disclose the implementation so it's a teaser of sorts. Of a coming product? Patent? Selling the idea to companies? Getting a job or funding at a research firm? Does it have a name?
You're quite welcome, and thanks for the thanks.
I'd like it to be "oh captain my captain"
I can confirm that names and email addresses are classified as saltysugar states, and the security reviews. So they do have to pass all those requirements for secure storage and transmission, but then names and emails are made visible by default through mechanisms like reviews, profile, wishlists, and that passes the review because it is the user's choice.

I don't even think this is anything nefarious by Amazon. It's more that teams dedicated to security issues consider it out of their lane to deal with conflicts between the designed UX and actual user expectations; especially for privacy issues where even asking the person isn't a reliable way to understand what they want.
Great, now I need to speak with all this extra `require English; English::structure` isn't that kinda against the spirit of these things?

I mean I personally never use Siri or others because I find it easier to get what I want without trying to guess how a computer will interpret. I have the same problem with people, and frankly computers are a nice reprive. Granted I'm not the general user.
Hey Deegles, thanks for the support. We are working on it. Unfortunately because our files are large and also long length we find some native streaming problems on IOS sometimes. We are relaunching new coded apps in January that should account for this.
We're working on it and keep trying to improve!
While you're at it maybe also consider a packaging system like npm/rubygems/etc.
I've heard that advice as well, and I'm guessing it's either from slum-lords or landlords that haven't encountered tenants willing to hire lawyers. Probably a viable strategy for very-low income tenants and college students.

Shady as hell though.
Strategically for what? all of those are related to oil and ARAMCO. Peace would not be an objective if the goal is to sell arms. And i doubt the americans have an inherent preference between the saudi and iranian people (maybe you could say that about israel however)
That’s besides the point, which is that these people never stood to gain anything, while the finance industry stood to gain and then when it messed up, the less well off still lost even if they didn’t take part in the game themselves.
Yes it may cause some business models to disappear

You’re talking about ~95% of Internet publishers and platform providers. Fortunately GDPR doesn’t apply to US sites that don’t “envisage” serving EU customers (see Recital 23). So those of us in the US will have the resources to keep publishing and innovating. But most companies/entrepreneurs that have to actually comply and aren’t big enough to essentially force users to do our bidding (Google, Facebook, etc) are going to have to close up shop.
Or you could buy an underwater mortgage and forgive it, right?

I encourage you to go test ride a steel vs an aluminum frame on a bad street and see if you still believe this. I guaruntee you will be surprised at the difference. My aluminum road bike with a carbon fork is an entirely different experience than my 35 year old steel frame Trek. Steel is an entirely different ride and quantifiably and qualifiably more enjoyable (though heavier).

It is probably the most innovative place in the world for energy production. Hydraulic fracturing was invented there. Well, not invented, but innovated upon enough to the point where it was basically invented there. Without discussing the environmental problems that came with its onset, it’s easy to acknowledge how that one technique completely transformed the natural gas industry and the overall energy industry in the last 20-30 years.
I wish people would stop comparing programming languages to Hammers. It's a meaningless meme. Yes, they are tools, but comparing them to Hammers is 100% ridiculous.

A language is not a hammer. It is a tool. You know what else are tools? Chainsaws, databases, lasers, and tunnel boring machines that cost tens of millions of dollars.

There are plenty of conferences about tools.

The practical downsides of software patents are overwhelming the upsides. For every "good" patent, there are dozens if not hundreds of trivial or ill-conceived patents. Perhaps if the review process were cleaned up and made rigorous, the net benefits would appear, but I'm not confident the Patent Office and Congress can pull that off. The current system benefits lawyers and patent hoarders, not inventors nor consumers.

At least enforce and scrutinize "non-obvious" better. The "obvious" problem is probably the biggest and most obvious current flaw. And the mere act of automating and/or emulating a physical process should be tossed out. A specific implementation may count (if non-obvious), but the very act of emulation by itself should not count as a patent. For example, emulating a physical slide-lock to unlock a smart-phone was granted a patent. All implementations of the emulation appeared to be susceptible to successful lawsuits. That is pure nonsense.
The one exception to this rule is a pretty astounding scam: buying your own delinquent debt. I can't find the citations for a story I read about a guy who did this at the million dollar condo level, but the idea is pretty simple. Bad debt trades at a fraction of the nominal price, so it might be easier to buy the rights to collect on your own debt than pay off the current debt owner.

The hard part, of course, is getting someone to sell it to you without their knowledge.
The runtime for sbcl is just the garbage collector and parts of the OS interface. It's not like the JVM (or e.g. GNU clisp) where the runtime is interpreting code.

The OS interface for any program that is targeted at *nix is likely to be written at least partly in C, because POSIX is very hostile to non-C languages, which leaves us with the garbage collector.

If the GC's implementation language is the most important thing for an implementation then every language implemented mostly in C++, but using bdwgc for garbage collection is actually implemented in C and assembly.

Well, this clearly isn't true but your general point is correct: sometimes when applying for a job it can be helpful to advertise your religious beliefs. Still, those jobs overwhelmingly don't come through LinkedIn.
Besides CppCon there is also the yearly ACCU conference: https://conference.accu.org/

Yes, that too is C and C++, but combining them into one conference just makes sense. It's good if each community knows what's new in the other one.
It's definitely a branding strategy-- if you think about it, companies pay thousands if not millions of dollars in ad campaigns that don't "sell" anything. Think product placement in movies, those logos in the back on some interviews, the banners around the field in football (soccer) matches, etc.

They are meant to have you (consciously or subconsciously) simply think about a brand, and hopefully also associate it with something you might enjoy, like a good sports game or a character in a movie.

Having you repeat the name of the company constantly in the intimacy of your home can only reinforce their brand for the better, and associate it with a helpful personality.
I think that's an oversimplification of current affairs. It's complicated. Iran wants to spread its sect of Islam, and that is at odds with a lot of the Arab world. Iran also hates Israel much more than Saudi Arabia does, and that comes into play. The Middle East is also important because of radical Islam (you can debate the role of Saudi Arabia in 9/11 and whatnot but I don't see that being about oil).

I don't see how the coup in 1953 means that we don't have a distaste for Iran today. Obviously it's an important part of recent history, but the government is not the same. The US and the UK used to fight in wars, but now we are allies.

Arms deals don't go back to oil because it benefits the American military industrial complex, not the energy industry.

Edit: Clarified statement on coup.

Edit again: I clicked on your old unedited link so I replied to a false understanding of what your point was, now my reply looks dumb.

My main concern is that the Permian Gulf Coast pipeline in the article is linking up to the Bayou Bridge one in Louisiana, and driving its construction rationale further. ETP is no saint and I don’t want to see them handed more of a reason to trample over people’s rights.

Privacy Advocates Are Criticizing Google Sidewalk Labs
I see that as a very negative viewpoint. For many, it's an easily embraced negativity because it's Microsoft.

Objectively, MS simply has done more work to create a comprehensive package. It would be a disservice to their customers to not increase integration between it all. For the longest time, this was Active Directory. Today it's Azure and .Net. Amazon doesn't control one of the most popular programming platforms to do tighter integration than already exists. Oracle does, but I've never really heard much about their cloud offering.

Microsoft has all the pieces, either it's appreciated or you can resent it. But they are no longer forcing you to use it, it's being sold on merit and I like what I see.

I'll state up front that your comments indicate that engagement will be a waste of time. But I like a challenge. And I like to read words on the screen that I wrote.

You're being very rude, condescending, and generally insufferable.

Insufferable, I'll grant you.

For example, things that you don't care about aren't automatically "trivial noise".

Well, at least I think I found the disconnect. By definition, those things most certainly are trivial noise. Because I don't care about them. Q. E. D., or summat. Do you care about the Kardashians? It's okay to admit it, this is a safe space. And if you do, guess what? I don't care. Don't care enough to hear about it, don't care enough to even disparage the idea. But you obviously care very deeply about reality TV stars, and that's okay. Because, again, I can't even muster enough concern about the topic to say it's not okay. And that's okay, too.

May you have a pleasant day, and a Kardashians/sportsball double-header on TV tonight.

i notice that you didn't answer my question. Do you have any actual experience with NLP at all?

In any event, it really seems to me like you're more interested in insulting me than in learning about NLP, so I don't think there's any reason to continue talking about it, eh?

> You're making the exact same arguments as homeopaths and faith healers and fortune tellers.

I understand that there's a superficial resemblance and I hate that, but as I said, I don't know what to tell you.

NLP is really easy, so if those "scientists" weren't able to measure something it's got to be "user error". I mean, I've personally done lots of experiments that show obvious results, so... I could go on but what's the point, eh? You've got your reality and I've got mine.
Yes I'm sure that's the majority of cases.
I have a different point of view as a longtime eBay user on both the buying and selling side. The more the company acted to "re-intermediate" buyer-seller interaction by doing things like restricting auction content, channeling communication through their own messaging system, concealing identities in feedback to prevent buyers and sellers from doing reasonable due diligence on each other, prohibiting various payment methods in order to shove PayPal down everyone's throats, and so on, the less interested I became in using eBay in general.

There was a strong sense of community on eBay in the company's early years that gradually went away over the years, and I still miss it. eBay is now dominated by medium-to-high volume corporate sellers, and that was not how it was originally supposed to work.
I'm worried libertarians are throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

A democratic government is great, but just like corporations, it needs to be held accountable.

That's why I donate to the ACLU. It helps keep government accountable for their abuses of power.

Also, paying for news sources keeps journalists shining a light on corruption.

Also education. An educated populace is a populace that's hard to control.

These are some of the things authoritarian governments (that you're afraid of),go after first as they try to seize power.

Pol pot did it, Stalin did it, North Korea does it.

These are also unironically some of the things that conservatives/liberatarians seem to dislike.

Offering a PDF/Ebook with good content (one hopes) in exchange for joining an email list is Lead Generation 101. The book is a runup to a paid course he is offering.

"Pay $1 to access this file" OR Sign up for email sends confusing signals to users. To the author, book is not worth $1, it is worth one email list signup. To the user, the book's value is entirely relative. They can offer up their email (positive value perception), or they can leave the site (zero value perception).
Why Europe Will Never Build Its Own Digital Giants
If you want to launch your own startup it is a great way to get some experience; if it pays off that also gives you a nest-egg to live on while you launch or bootstrap.

If you don't want to or can't work for one of the BigTechCos then it still pays well compared to most jobs. Complaining about a six-figure payoff during an acquisition is one of the most Bay Area™️ things you can possibly do :)
The digital "assistant". If we're using the analogy of assistants, then the same logic applies as with real assistants.

The device doing its job can have my information, but sending it back to the mothership, even if it's for the purposes of improving the service for such devices in general, then it's the equivalent of a real assistant babbling about my private stuff to their colleagues, which is immoral and a fireable offence.

My feeling is that the web was becoming larger and more accessible every year, and that while Google probably did that more than anyone else, you could equally blame AOL for providing NNTP access to the general public in 1993, or Deja News for starting their archive work in 1995, or Google for their indexing work starting in 2001.

That's just assigning a name and face to economic forces, though. It's the underlying economics that killed Usenet—experts hang out there, so it’s valuable, so non-experts start hanging out there, until the experts leave because there are too many non-experts. This happens to every internet forum; Usenet was just older. Travel back in time and any randomly selected person on the internet was likely to be some kind of expert.

I think he proved you wrong, while there were many, the only example necessary is Mono. That lived alone, untouched by MS legal action or any other conspiracy theories about evil Microsoft, for many years. It was a great implementation, so great that Microsoft wanted it and those who built it received some good coin when they were brought onboard. Microsoft clearly has a track record of encouraging innovation on their (open) language spec.

Would you say that your argument is essentially "This person is wrong in such a way that would not be possible without irrationally hating the president"? If that were the case, I would argue that people can be wrong for any reason(s), which seems like a truism to me.

As for the counter-examples, you have not provided any. You are arguing that the president is the most moral politician (which, while an extraordinary claim, has not been disagreed with by anyone in the thread as far as I can tell), while I am arguing that someone's lack of belief that the president thinks long and hard about his moral positions is not sufficient evidence that such a person has an irrational hatred of the president. I would normally have left it there since we may not even be talking about the same thing, but it seems like your argument is for a unified theory that not only is the president moral, but he is moral to the extent that the belief earlier expressed is evidence that the person holding it both hates the president, and does so irrationally. I was wholly incredulous of that claim, but was seeing if there were some obvious part of it that I missed. That is the confusing part. Does statement actually make sense to you without 5 or 6 extra assumptions in between?
