I'm not sure how practical that would be for kangaroos. How do you get roos to use the bridge instead of just using the road?

Also, I'm pretty sure they like hanging out on the road, because the road traps heat and stays warmer at night.

We've seen Postgres continue to operate like this until you run out of ram, not ideal IMO, but better than corrupting the existing database. Ideally Postgres would lift that whole "on full disk go read only" feature from MSSQL.
Here is a recent article suggesting that that's at least somewhat true:

If you're referring to G+, I don't think G+ was a "moderate sized social network" any more than twitter (although in opposite directions).

Also, imo, calling them "similarly sized" would be incorrect, except perhaps in signed up users (from which google got a ton from the "login with google and your account is already setup", not daily active users)
How could YouTube know you won't ever convert beforehand, and at scale? If they started blocking users for suspicion of not buying anything from ads they would have to block a sizeable portion of their traffic and that would have a negative impact on their company.

Just wean off by replacing progressively more of your regular coffee with decaf coffee and then keep drinking decaf. You might not even notice that much if you do it over, say a month. 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, 0/100.

--

Or, wait til you get sick. Quit caffeine cold turkey, you won't notice it over the sickness and by the time you are improving, you will have less symptoms and you will be taking time off anyway due to the sickness.

You say you have noticed productivity drops in the past, but I wonder how long you waited them out? My experience is that caffeine withdrawal is not terribly long, maybe a week of subpar focus, but still able to work.
I've had people ask me if "Kiwi" is a racist term too. I've always thought it was such a strange concept that someone might think it's racist.

But then again, I guess it's racist to call French people frogs, so I can understand how someone would come to the conclusion that it's racist to call someone a Kiwi.
Pizza is only crap, if you eat crap pizza.

Making good pizza at home, with high quality ingredients is maybe not 100% perfect nutrition, but it is damn good, and much better than anything you'd buy from a pizzeria or (heavens forbid) frozen pizza.

Soda is junk, though. Only fit for extremely occasional use as a mixer in a good drink.
FTT:

A few examples:
1) Uber launched by going to black car companies and paying drivers to be available on Uber during certain hours, ensuring that riders would be able to find a ride.

2) Relationship Hero, a relationship coaching marketplace, scaled to dozens of customers with just one coach--its cofounder! But the website listed 10 fake coaches, to give users the sense that it was a more active platform with diverse coaches who fit their particular situation.

3) Beepi, which was a used car marketplace, had a massive chicken and egg problem in attracting sellers and buyers initially. To solve this, the founders went out and purchased used cars to seed the supply side. After a few months, they moved to the marketplace model.

A reply:

The examples in this thread are really something — #2 was lying, bordering on fraud, and #3 burned through $75m in 18 months before going out of business.

The Local Group is gravitationally bound, but that isn't the case with the local supercluster. I believe that most (all?) superclusters are not gravitationally bound.

In fact, the entire local group will eventually be a single galaxy I believe, mostly composed of the contents of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies.
I've heard from Linux AMD engineers, that they supported the idea of opening up the firmware, and opposition to it wasn't based on the concerns you listed, but primarily driven by DRM (and the need to split it into two variants which is an extra effort).

Maybe they undertook pyramids too fanatically altogether, and that that was their downfall. The thought-leaders thought pyramids were the best investment, instead of astronomy.

The downfall may have been an effect of the great thing. Pyramids, sweet! There's a drought coming.

I wouldn't go for the moon landing, not because it wasn't great, but it wasn't an all-consuming investment by civilization. There are a lot stronger modern candidates.
I have had a hard time dealing with twitter engineering since the account activity API debacle.

> The Bering land bridge was NOT formed 10000 years ago -- that's when it was covered by water.

You're right that Beringia was most recently waterfree from c30000BCE to c11000BCE but that doesn't really detract from the central theme of the article around Indian - settler interaction.
A comment from a Google Cloud employee seems to suggest otherwise.

> Derek’s point about savings is about list price differences that result from total system performance (and not any sort of special discounting).
Wow, really?? In that case, what caused G+ to fail? I was always under the impression that it was due to (low) DAUs.
Would you explain why this is so? The speed of light is finite, not infinite.
I did a gig for <huge content producer/delivery company> and at the time mostly did AWS implementations (I work at AWS now full time, for what it's worth). The client was really interested in going with Google Cloud because they were promised essentially free storage, with no limit.

This is a company with more petabytes of video footage in their data lake than I've seen before and GCP wanted to give them free storage for the prestige (and possible upside, longterm) of having Big Company on their list.
The problem is that one guy genuinely sees a drone and after that everybody else thinks they see a drone that isn't there.

That's the genius of this form of disruption: fly a drone past an airport just once, and people in the airport will report spurious drone sightings for hours afterwards. Flights will be delayed and much money will be spent tracking down things that don't exist.
An understated reason for Amazon's dominance is the popularity of the Amazon Affiliate program. Because of Amazon's strong conversion rates, a massive number of bloggers use it as their primary revenue source.

Google any "money" keyword such as "best Bluetooth speakers' and virtually all top 20 results will have Amazon affiliate links

This allows Amazon to dominate SERPs. No matter what people Google, the links eventually end up leading to Amazon

It's most similar to venison (deer meat) or rabbit.

It's incredibly lean meat, almost no fat and very red, and it has a very strong gamey flavour. People either love it or hate it. If you overcook it, it's like eating leather.

I'm now a vegetarian, but it used to be my favourite meat. I used to eat it more often than beef. It also helps that kangaroo meat is cheaper than beef in Australia.
“But mah FPS!!” I have never understood the relative lack of loyalty amongst nerds. Demand more FLOSS, but buy NVIDIA for a few frames per second. Use Chrome instead of Firefox for a few milliseconds on render. Rejoice at clang while maintaining that GCC never did anything good for anybody.

The whole point of libre software is that the choice of what you use matters, but I rarely see ethical considerations trump hot rodding.

Based on Retra's earlier comments, the answer to "if not, why not?" is pretty simple -- two photons are not in the same frame of reference because neither photon is in any frame of reference, and therefore there is no frame of reference which both photons are in.

If you were willing to assume that one photon did belong to a frame of reference, you would see that that photon was moving at 0 (impossible, but necessary for it to be part of the frame of reference) and all other photons were moving at c (since the velocity of a photon is c in any inertial frame of reference). Thus, all other photons would not be part of the same frame of reference as the reference photon; no two photons can belong to the same frame of reference.
Google may be playing the long game. I've seen an effect on my team after moving from physical hardware and centralized capacity provisioning to GCP with immediate gratification hardware. It's easier to spend money so we ask for more stuff more often.
They are blocking Ad-blockers and improving Ads. Blocking Ads that are scam like popups and such so ux should be good with content and Ads side by side.

It's actually Google wants to rule by blocking other platforms that provide Ads.
Take a look at https://blokada.org/

It blocks ads in news and other apps for me.
Is that countint actual use of Google Plus or does that count anything that connects to it (comment boxes, YouTube, etc.).

Dingos are their natural predator. But we've killed all the dingos because dingos also eat livestock.

It's the same as with deer in Europe and America. Wolves and beers are their natural predators, but then we killed all the wolves and bears because they ate our sheep.

God, so much huffing and puffing. Such a wind bag. None of this guy’s stuff is pointing in the right direction.

He’s looking at twentieth century struggles, but the artifice that he grapples with in long form text is not what the drivers of change were.

What he points to is a microvave oven boiling water, in a kitchen with a grease fire. The technologies of socialization are like cotton candy, when stood next to the architecture of behaviors that insulate socialites and enable socialization at all.

But then again, I suppose he gets to show off all the books he’s read, and broadcast nerd signals about how much navel gazing he does. That’s what blogs are about, right?
In order to move forward from this cycle of history it is meaningful to look at how the spoils of the conquerors continue to accrue for their descendants in unequal measure. The history you are eager to dismiss as the past is well alive, history in name only.
This seems like unnecessary denigration of what is a very respectable job that provides more direct service than a federal work and probably more satisfaction to the worker
It's a lot like beef, not surprising since they essentially fill the same niche. The flavor is a lot stronger though, personally I couldn't eat a thick roo steak like a would eat a beef one, a burger with a thin patty is fine.

My personal favorite is to use roo strips instead of bacon/ham on a chicken parma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_parmigiana .

The testimony from the experts was great, and the questions and responses from our senators was embarrassing. Just search 'terror' for some of them like the ones I paraphrased.
Thing is that any society that hesitates on adopting genetic engineering out of some fear of exacerbating income inequality or whatever is going to lose out in the long run to any civilization that has no such ethical hangups about genetic engineering. It's a prisoner's dilemma.
> I don't know the details of your experience (were all 16yrs of experience as a SWE demonstrating a deep technical expertise?), but Google puts engineers with even 2-3years of experience on an L4-interview loop.

It's all engineering, and the majority (10+) was pure software engineering.

> If you knew that you were being slotted for L4 upfront why did you even bother interviewing?

I didn't find out until late in the process, I thought I was going to get a better offer than I did, and I was trying to correct the mistake I had just made by accepting the job I was then in. I only realized my mistake after the offer came in and I considered what dropping back to L4 would mean.

> I've seen L4s rack up multiple job offers from different companies and use that as leverage to negotiate; they've all been offered $300k+ or more.

That would have been nice, but I barely had time to keep up with one company process at a time without arousing suspicion. I was close with Facebook, but I decided before the actual interview that I wasn't going to take L4 at any price. Facebook rejected me anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered in the end.
If you can persuade some congressional committee to fund NASA to develop, launch, and maintain the probes then I'm sure you'll find no shortage of people willing to pay the taxes for it all.

I happen to agree with you, and would be happy to see taxes allocated towards further exploration of the solar system. But resources are limited.
High MAUs doesn't necessarily translate to high DAUs.
eBay should not be having such a big problem. Look at all the niche trends that are being empowered by the internet:

- Vintage mechanical watches

- Vintage fountain pens

- Vintage mechanical keyboards

- Vintage woodworking hand tools

- Vintage European bicycle parts

- Vintage film cameras, especially SLRs and Leicas

- New things that look like those vintage things (often superficially) and make a lot of money on Kickstarter and Massdrop and Hodinkee and get resold when the hipster buyers move on to the next thing.

eBay is the best place to buy this stuff. It's hard to believe they can't figure out how to make money.
Invitation link to GCP community slack not working

Hello! I have a team decision making tool (https://decisiontree.io) that also identifies every team's goals and values in real time based on the success criteria of each decision, so I'm quite familiar with this space, and the challenges.

While I've always loved the idea of using DecisionTree for participatory democracy, one of the big things needed for such a system is one that does known your customer (KYC), in a privacy centric way, and doesn't reveal the identity to the app/vendor while still knowing their details (attribute based encryption) such as age or location. There are a lot of services that could use technology like this, especially the high-risk industries (cannabis, cryptocurrency, and adult), so this year I've started a new company (https://pgkyc.com) to do exactly that. If Decidim or anyone reading this would like to be one of the first apps on our platform, I'd love to work with you, don't hesitate to reach out. (kris@pgkyc.com)
What would Google gain from the acquisition that they don't already have?

This has been known to be totally incorrect for 10+ years now. Is this about bad predictions?

Tags failed.

No one uses them. (#hashtags are not tags, they are more channels)

Can you think of one site that uses them and it's useful?

Ever looked a library book up and the tag is why you got a good result?

The study I saw showed all the actual value on Flickr came from the title of a photo, not the tags.
Oh, the Google fanboys. “Didn’t you read the article? This is purely for privacy reasons.” Nevermind that this makes it harder to actually keep your privacy. Nevermind that this is exactly what people warned would happen in a browser monoculture controlled by an ad company. That’s just a coincidence. It must be, because Google are the good guys, am I right?
Sounds like you might be interested in POSIX.
I guess whatever is your source, they didn't build 64-bit one. So you can ask those who maintains that repo.

It clearly should be buildable for 64-bit.

> You have a magical space ship that can accelerate to c in one minute planet A relative time.

You're the one who discovered magic; the answer to this question depends completely on how magic works.

But without magic, it is impossible for an object with mass to accelerate to c. Why do you believe the question has an answer?

I have had the same pothos plant for the past decade. Once it was a single small plant. It's now a half dozen large plants. Some suggestions:

- If you're fertilizing them, maybe stop doing that. Fertilizer is good when done right, but it's easy to overdo it and burn your plants. Pothos can survive for years in the same potting soil, so stick to plain water and see how they do.

- Give them a small cup of water twice a week. A total of 250mL per week is probably good.

- Put them anywhere near a window, but maybe not in direct sunlight.

- Keep the temperature around 20-25°C (room temperature).

That's basically all I do. The only time I've managed to harm them is from using too much fertilizer.

This attack-to-not-latest exists, but it's very rare, since 99% of the security issue we have are in all versions of VLC, because of old code (2000s) in VLC and libavcodec.

It could happen, sure, but that is very far from the "OMG, updates are in HTTP" issue, or even a downgrade attack.

I'm curious about scoping. How come `main` in the typeclass.bon example gets to call `norm()` unqualified? Do all the functions in all `impl` definitions just get tossed in one global namespace? If `Norm` is a class, then why are there no `Norm` objects?

Absolutely not: the installer blocks downgrade attacks.
Absolutely this. I'm typing this on a 2012 MBP and it has had 6 hard drive flex cable replacements by the Apple Store over 3 years, each time requiring a week of downtime. On the last service they replaced the entire motherboard, because they thought it can't possibly the flex cable if they've replaced it six times, but it's already starting to show the symptoms that it might need another replacement soon...

I love my 2012 MBP, but ultimately it's been so unreliable (and I can't stand the new butterfly keyboards) that it pushed me into buying a Windows laptop. I still use the MBP quite regularly when it's working though.
Of course not. The response is GPG-signed.
It reads as obviously condescending to me, including the word "inexplicably" only to provide their own explanation.

Note that phrasing can be condescending regardless of the author's intention.
One thing to remember with the benchmarks is that when evaluating a cloud provider, the benchmarks are useless if talked about with absolute numbers or with regards to hardware specs. Because they're so horizontally scalable, it's more a question of average cost per compute operation or cost per (peta) byte.

Both AWS and Google clouds are perfectly capable of running Twitter, and running any software that Twitter uses, even if the number of machines is different. The only "benchmark" applicable is actually the total negotiated cost of the machines required to get the job done.

So it's not about being able to do things on Google cloud with fewer processors or less RAM or faster hard drives - Google was willing to give them a lower total cost of ownership for reasons known only to Google.

Do not assume that Google (or anybody else) will give you a similar preferential deal. Ignore the "benchmarks".
