I agree; of course that isn’t.

But being forced to give away half your physical retail space is hardly the same thing as just letting them keep using an API that you provide explicitly for such use.

Also, more broadly: one would have quite a hard time making the case that Facebook isn’t nakedly, gleefully, and rapaciously user-hostile.

> The author doesn’t cite growth rates, customer acquisition costs of lifetime value of the customer and without that it’s not clear they know what they’re talking about. If CAC << LTV and you have a high growth rate and your cost per ride is coming down then they should be doing exactly what they’re doing.

If, if and if. There's no reason to believe that costs come down with significantly with (even larger) scale, or that people will prefer Uber over competitors or ordinary taxis, once they raise prices. The main reason why Uber has so little competition is that it's simply a bad business model, but massive growth in todays environment attracts enough investors to keep the ship above water for a long time.

That's not implied, the idea is that enough greater fools will be found once the stock goes public.

Uber simply has more money to burn. Enjoy your rides while it lasts.

When did software devs lack the power to write trading tools? The issue is that the traders had the knowledge and wrote their ideas into a spreadsheet which was not only maintainable for them but easily extensible. I cannot overstate that second part. They become spreadsheet behemoths because it's trivial to make them do that one extra thing (at least for the first fifty or so features).
Docker for windows; crashing, or loosing connection to mobylinux, constantly needing to give permissions (windows sign in) to allow access to mounted volumes. Ergo lots of turn it off and on again style fixes, including windows reboot to get it going again.

Total garbage.

Since mobylinux is a vm in windows hypervisor, we moved to a Ubuntu vm, running LXD, an then proper lxc containers. Removing docker from the equation from our developer and production environments. No more issues because we don’t use docker.

Tax planning is important. A small family office might be a good solution for you to help handle the burdens that come along with this money.

Make sure you google "multi-family office" in your area and then google their name and that they have north of $500m AUM.

Google "[name of family office] AUM" to get that figure.

As it relates to investments, you can either buy good cap-rate multi-family properties or do some hard money lending. Look for an area where you can purchase a multi-family performing property at a 10-cap or higher. These will survive the next downturn well and help you generate asset-backed income that is safe.

As far as I'm aware, the only thing WhatsApp competed with Facebook over is Messenger, and even that seems like a stretch to me.

My impression of the situation is that Facebook bought WhatsApp for its data and user-base; not because it was competition.
I've been following the industry so closely for so long that I have a bottle of champagne in the fridge to commemorate the day that a publicly accessible, fully driverless pilot project opens up somewhere in the world, and that bottle has been in the fridge for 3 years now.

The Life Extension Revolution: Part 1 (Aging and Life Extension)
The biggest tell that the Electric Universe theory is bunk is that anybody who ever talks about it can't hardly get two sentences in before dropping in the "but nobody ever talks about magnetic fields or electric currents at this scale"... which is easily observed to be utterly false. Astrophysicists talk about it a lot, and you can find even more discussion if you add "plasma" to the search terms.

If Electric Universe advocates are so wrong about something so easy to check, it doesn't give me much reason to check out anything else they say. (The fact that I have done so nevertheless and I've never managed to find them making an actual prediction is another. It seems to be one of those recursive handwave theories that never quite lands on anything concrete no matter where you search, but it sure does know that the standard theory is wrong.)

>Clinical need top trumps comfort.

I think this is where the disconnect is. As a best faith interpretation, I don't believe you made the statement in a condescending manner -- I think it just flowed naturally.

The comment I quoted seems to imply waking a patient is akin to disrupting the comfort of the patient. I read the arguments being made in this thread and in the article as: waking the patient and/or disturbing sleep of a patient causes detrimental effects on the patient's health which lie outside the realm of just comfort.

Multi-patient bays seem to act as an architectural reinforcement that sleep is a comfort.
Understanding HashMap in Java
Hospital food actually is quite unhealthy and not conducive to healing. I’d imagine that the only people who woild dismiss such concerns are the people who put such a system in place where they serve white bread and Jell-O with high fructose corn syrup and artificial food coloring to people who are barely breathing. Hospital patients need all the nutrition they can get. Providing the equivalent of a frozen dinner or fast food isn’t very responsible.
Please focus on material problems.
I hear this claim thrown around a lot, but I've never seen the legal code pointing to a difference in minimum standards for apartments vs condo. Section 25 (http://mlacoustics.com/projects/multifamily/CA.noise.final.p...) treats them the same.

Some kids threw peanuts out the window and into his car. He followed us to the next stop and pounded on the door. She courteously opened the door and in he came, shouting the whole way.

I don’t have a very high opinion of bus driver training.

> Urbanists hate cars because they hate cars

There's a great 99% Invisible episode that's relevant here:

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-76-the-modern...

That's right - before cars became the de facto way to get around, they were compared to Moloch. Any "hate" modern urbanists might have for the car has nothing on early 20th-century posters featuring death, cape billowing, riding a demonic-looking car as it mows down hapless children.

I'd say, more accurately, that urbanists are investigating out what the balance of harm vs. benefit is here so they can propose ways to bring back some user-friendliness to our rights-of-way. They're revisiting the assumption that cars, rather than people, should be the primary focus in designing cities.

Put another way: IMHO, cars represent a local maximum in transportation outcomes. There's a lot that's great about them: independence, mobility, ease of use supported by robust infrastructure. There's a lot that isn't so great: long commute times, pollution, noise, sedentary lifestyles, urban sprawl, collisions causing death or injury. I fully expect humanity will outlive the car, just like it's outlived any number of other transportation methods, and it's in our collective best interest to start thinking about what that means.
And what precedent is that? The idea that companies aren't above the law? That's a precedent I wish was more enforced.

I'm proud of my parliament today (and it's not often I can say that), even if in other parts they're tearing themselves apart.
> but do the cars not continually (or at least every minute or two) revalidate the presence of the key?

Mine will beep for a bit if I leave the car with the key. But the vehicle also works when the fob's battery is depleted (it has an RFID tag and an embedded physical key for the door). Having the car randomly shut off based on something so potentially flakey seems like a worse idea.

That said, the ML/Haskell-like functional languages do have one thing that most procedural languages do not, which is that they help you keep side effects under control.

I'd like to find a procedural language that allows for side effects (it is still procedural programming, after all), but encourages keeping them under control. I've been toying with Nim lately, and it's been a good experience. I think that it's possible to do even better, but it's already way ahead of anything else I've tried.

Awesome Command Line Apps
Big companies with lots to lose will always use a waterfall process. Facebook can move fast and break things because there's little risk to them, but fintech, legal, military, and medical software will always require peer review and a waterfall process. When I was a mainframe programmer at IBM, it was the waterfall process that protected customers from untested code and, as a result, you don't hear much about giant hacks or thefts in things like bank accounts, Social Security checks, or industrial manufacturing. That's because the suppliers of those programs don't want to move fast and break things. They want to move slowly and be sure that software works, to the best of their ability, before shipping.

That's not how "the system" works, that's what the investment climate is like at this point in the business cycle. Money is cheap and investments are equally unwise.
I'm not sure if this is a joke about old keys being better, but I'd argue you could have the benefits of new keys and old keys combined if you just made it so that new keys have to be inserted into some compartment inside of cars, where they are authenticated by those cars. You can imagine a fob with a USB that has a different authentication code than the wireless one it sends out, and unless the USB is plugged into the car, you can only start the car up but you can't drive it.

In addition, you can make it so that the car doesn't unlock due to proximity with the fob, but rather, it only unlocks if you push the unlock button on the fob.

I didn't read that positive matter is attracting negative matter. What I gathered is that the presence of a cloud of negative matter in the right place would be held in place by mutual repulsion of the outer arms of the galaxy and the inner galaxy. And that the neg matter supplies enough repulsion to the diffuse outer galaxy that it can spin a bit slower than it would have to otherwise.

And this is why you're confused. Because it's not. Some definitions of free will depend on physical or metaphysical assumptions, and some do not and absolutely and unequivocally apply to our universe. One such definition is Comaptibilism, and if you don't think so, then you don't understand Compatibilism.
I definitely see those arguments being made (in this thread, in fact), but that may not be the argument you're making.

I think the issue I have is with the idea that Facebook is successful, and therefore can no longer prevent their competitors from blatantly taking advantage of them. But I'm not sure where to draw the line.

If Visa and Mastercard decided for whatever reason that they wanted to kill some small banking chain and not allow payments for them or their customers to go through their network, that would be bad. But I don't think that means that they have to let an upstart competitor credit card startup have access to the huge multi-billion-dollar network they've built up, does it? Even if they might extend that network to other entities that don't compete with them?
This kind of dismissal is basically the same as telling investors in the tech sector that they ought to be investing in curing cancer instead. Nobody is asking you to drop everything and make social justice the #1 priority in your life. It's just a small issue which is worth a small amount of consideration -- certainly not vehement denial, though.
> Right now I'm really into C and want to dive deep and learn the language well.

You can't learn C in isolation. Even though C is full of surprising and unexpected behavior, it is a very simple language. Great C programmers didn't study C. They studied computer architecture, compilers, algorithms, and operating systems. The power of C only reveals itself when you gain a deep understanding of how the computer works.

University is a good place to gain that understanding.

If you'd rather work on web stuff then you probably don't need to understand any of it. Learn a popular language and get to work.
7 Ways to Handle Concurrency in Distributed Systems
That's a good point of comparison but the difference I think is at the time Windows was a dominant OS, and most people's only option. For them to come out and compete with Netscape and prevent Netscape from operating on their OS would be a death sentence for Netscape because it is not reasonable for Netscape's response to be "Fine we'll make our own OS!".

There's a huge difference between "build your own OS" and "build your own website login".

It's not a very tall order to create a social website that doesn't use FB login. Social websites should not by default have a right to all of facebook's users. They should have to build that user base themselves.
I'm in the US. After some searching, I can't find any information about most doctors having unions. I found one that appears to mostly work with California doctors, but that was about it. Either way, I was speaking about residents, who don't have particularly strong or ubiquitous unions. Again, that's in the US. Other countries may vary.
> Does the Java compiler optimize this to be equivalent?

No, it can't. `byte[][]` is an array of arrays, and that fact is user-visible because you can access any of the individual arrays, pass it to other functions, etc.
Like notacoward's post below, this one misses the point. The shaming is not about how good or bad or complex you are.

Some people have determined that Facebook is an organization that's producing some bad results. Socially shaming employees, removing the status they might have hoped to acquire and spiking attrition are tools being deployed to change Facebook's behavior and the behavior of Facebook's competitors.

You might claim that this pressure will never work, or that it will cause Facebook to shut down the "Are You Safe" feature, or gut the charity tools, or avoid developing these kinds of projects in the future. But we should avoid hand-wavy claims that Facebook and the people who work there are just too complicated to influence.

I understand the general note about caches not lasting forever, no longer referenced files, etc.

This response skipped over the most important question "And if I make a change daily (or more frequently w/ CD), have 365 of those versions (i.e. maybe versioned as date or hash)?". Simply asked, is every generated JS file a static asset? Must the (indefinite) cache headers be present for every static asset be returned? So if I deploy a new static asset every hour via continuous deployment let's say, I must give it a new unique path? These questions apply to SPAs.

Measure how far away your car unlocks, then keep the keys as far from external walls as that.

But to be honest it’s easier to keep them in a metal box that shuts properly. That’s what i do (although my fob still needs interaction, so i should be a bit safer, in theory).

Also consider that keyless cars actually still have a way to enter, be it physical or remote: garage-supplied universal keys and software. VWs for example have an old-school keyhole under a thin plastic bit on the door, so that garages can access it when you lose the fob.
