Maybe i'm in an a/b pool, but uber charges me if I make them wait longer than 2 minutes.

So yes, they are being paid. And even so, it wouldn't be so much of a concern if uber just paid drivers fairly.
Interesting we call, a topic never will know as it is not too sexy. Just number even one may say, but why they have patterns.
There are two-pass approaches that do this, such as photon mapping. In the first stage, light is emitted from light sources and allowed to to scatter throughout the scene, and each "hit" of a photon on a medium is stored in a large data structure. Then in the second pass rays are traced out from the camera, and on each medium the ray intersects, nearby "hits" are used to estimate the light coming from that spot. This produces effects like caustics efficiently.
You are conflating completely unrelated events. Amazon getting $3B tax cuts to build their own office there is in noway comparable to Google building homes, transportation and factories for a city.

It's not Google's "job" to build your house, and you calling it "their own project" doesn't mean they should do it for free. If you don't want their help, go ahead and say no, but to expect this to be done for free is ridiculous and naive, and also in no way comparable to the Amazon situation.
Twitter actually tries to delete stuff: https://twitter.com/en/privacy

> We keep Log Data for a maximum of 18 months. If you follow the instructions here (or for Periscope here), your account will be deactivated and then deleted. When deactivated, your Twitter account, including your display name, username, and public profile, will no longer be viewable on Twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, and Twitter for Android. For up to 30 days after deactivation it is still possible to restore your Twitter account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated.

And they require developers to delete them too:

https://developer.twitter.com/en/developer-terms/agreement-a...

> If Twitter Content is deleted, gains protected status, or is otherwise suspended, withheld, modified, or removed from the Twitter Service (including removal of location information), you will make all reasonable efforts to delete or modify such Twitter Content (as applicable) as soon as reasonably possible, and in any case within 24 hours after a request to do so by Twitter or by a Twitter user with regard to their Twitter Content, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law or regulation, and with the express written permission of Twitter.

When I worked at Gnip this requirement was a constant headache for customers, precisely because deleting data is so hard.

This is exactly the kind of thinking that makes no sense.

First of all the prices have gone up long before Amazon came in that's just how New York work them moving in will affect housing prices NOT renting prices.

There is no way you can spin this in favor of the local politicians. They just cost many of their fellow neighbours 25K jobs many of them high paying which is important in New York.
The built-in browser password managers (Chrome, iOS Safari, Firefox) are pretty popular.

But I agree that the real moral of this story is: test your login page with browser password managers. They all support multi-page login flows if you tag them correctly. (Google uses one, so they can't just ignore this problem.)

If your login page works with the built-in password managers in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, it will also work with LastPass and 1Password, too. And you're done!
> If they didn't focus on toy math problems they would have to do other stuff like endless, increasingly complex form validation, filesystem manipulation, or things like graphics that involve external libraries-- it would just become hard to manage for code-golf scenarios, I think.

It would also make it hard to use the exercises in some languages. For example, awk or retrocomputing languages like JOSS or BLISS.

There's definitely a need to have good little or mid-sized projects which do call for library-wrangling, though. They help get programmers acquainted with the culture surrounding the language, and what kinds of problems other people using the language are solving.

Right, a 52-bit key would be terrible for symmetric encryption. But that's not what Wormhole does. It uses PAKE, which is an interactive protocol that allows two parties that both know a short password to securely come up with a longer key for symmetric encryption.
A lot of sentiment here seems to be that Project Euler is more about math than programming. I feel like that depends on ones definition of the term programming. Computer science of course has nothing at all to do with computers as it only asks the question "What can be computed?" and Project Euler is very much in this spirit just as Knuths "The Art of Computer Programming" is. For example many of the problems require you to use specific algorithms to find an answer in polynomial time.

If you define programming as software engineering then of course Project Euler is mostly irrelevant. But computer science is math, not software engineering.

What the Soviet Union accomplished at the cleanup of Chernobyl likely wouldn't have been possible without a wanton disregard for the value of human life only possible in a totalitarian state, the details of which are discussed in other comments.

I don't think the lack of will or ability on the part of Japan to doom thousands of people to death by radiation in the course of a speedy cleanup can be described as ineptitude.

This. I had more than that as a graduate student.
> it obscures the amount we are agreeing to pay

Not necessarily. I'm sure they have target numbers in mind in terms of how much returns this construction will bring. So instead of paying in a single sum, they simply adjust the percentage to add up to the same amount, assuming the place is as successful as they had hoped.

If it ends being more successful, it's a win-win situation because Google makes more, and so does the city. If Google fails, then they also get paid less for it, and it's less of a loss for the city.

Lastly, paying over 30 years seems far easier to handle than a single sum too. In almost every way this seems like a better choice.
Oh Holy Jesus...

That, what, 2km of street there? I paused the video, there's ~39 stories per building (40 is unlikely, as the number 4 is considered unlucky), assuming 2 windows per condo, that's ~10 condos per floor, so ~400 condos per building. From 8:15 to 10:13, there are 12 towers on the left side of the street. Later at 13:00 they mention that this condo supply could house ~1M people! And it hasn't been filled for nearly 5 years! Per other commentators, such condos are ~$200k each (Note: I've no idea on the actual prices here).

So assuming these numbers, there's ~$960,000,000 of simply empty condos, just on the left side of that one street! Even if I'm high by a factor of 100 (totally possible), that's ~$10M per linear km of totally empty condos. The rows of towers go about 3 deep. At about 11:15, you can see the that entire horizon is filled with these empty towers (so claimed by the narrators). So, that's what, roughly $1B to $10M per square km of totally empty condos, so somewhere between $1000 and $10 per square meter of empty real-estate?!

Look, I'm not an economist, but there is just something deeply, deeply unsettling going on here.

Guys, Chinese real-estate can't not implode. And badly.
Given the amount Uber has spent on self driving cars, I doubt they'd let themselves get replaced.

Given the money the entire industry has spent on self driving cars and gotten little reward for, I don't think anyone is getting replaced for a very long time.
> Its absolutely hilarious to me that all of these Suggestions are motivated by the use of password managers. The number of people using password managers is literally a rounding error.

I'm not so sure you're right in the general case, modern password managers are aimed at fairly normal people, there may very well be millions of password manager users.

Nevertheless, even if we're a "rounding error" we are often decision makers. So deliberately not supporting our workflow may make it surprisingly hard to get us on board, or to keep us from recommending one of your competitors just because it annoyed us to use your workflow instead of ours.

Several people below have suggested tricks that preserve your desired behaviour (people don't go down rabbit holes for other auth methods that weren't for them anyway) while making password managers still work. Those are better than what you do now, so, do that.
> they also have the POS systems in place to just replace visa/MC if they want.

Yeah, that's not how it works. Banks that issue cards contract with intermediary card networks like Visa/MC, not POS system vendors.

> integrating bitcoin lightning network soon

Been hearing that for years. Basic problem is while merchants would love to have lower fees, consumers don't have a powerful incentive to switch off using cards. The usual argument is they would save ~2% on prices but there is actually evidence that this would't necessarily happen. When Australia regulated down processing fees, the savings were not passed onto consumers.
I don't think solving project euler problems will make you any better at being an effective programmer for pretty much anything except maybe game programming or other really mathy puzzly programming

> All their other transfer systems (ACH, wire, Zelle) are run by third parties.

Those are systems for transferring money from JP Morgan to another bank. This system doesn't do that; it can only transfer money from JP Morgan to JP Morgan. That is much easier for JP Morgan to do, and they already have their own system for it.
On behalf of YC or Starsky?

For YC, it was pretty damn slick, but made possible only because a close-knit bond between companies exists to an extent. I remember being super interested in self driving cars, really wanting to work at Cruise and getting their founders email from a YC Partner at the dinner. I was just out of my freshman year, and extremely nervous about emailing the cruise folks, and some of my coworkers at LeadGenius helped me draft intro emails. They were just really great people. My managers at LeadGenius (YC alums themselves) were the first people I told when I got into the fellowship. There were a lot of signals along the way that the folks involved in YC, from the partners to the founders, were __good__ people. I wanted to be part of that. And still am, and still do.
>You're forgetting that it costs merchants money to handle cash

Not that much. Which is why all-cash businesses invariantly offer stuff cheaper.
The theory of why normal credit card rewards aren't taxable is that they are a discount. OTOH, if it's a corporate expensed card or purchase, but the discount goes to the employee, it seems that either:

(1) the “reimbursement” for the full cost isn't all bona-fide reimbursement, since you are getting reimbursement for more than you paid after the discount, and therefore should be taxed like any other compensation from your employer, or

(2) The rewards you get in that case simply aren't discounts, and should be taxed as normal, but not employment compensation, income.

(These differ, because #1 has payroll tax implications that #2 does not, as well as the income tax implications.)

The fact that neither of these send to happen is either a legal loophole with no strong theory or just an administrative failure.
Plants can be cultural signifiers. Do they exist? Are they on exhibit or part of the background? Are they uniformly distributed? Are they banned? Are they supplied by the office management? Are they the property of individuals?
Thanks for the recommendation. I should try that.
Those are examples of using it defensively. They use patents to defend themselves against lawsuit.

In this case, anyone is free to use the algorithm, and Google won't go after them with the patent.
Yeah - I know scientists who do this and it has nothing to do with the reproducibility crisis. It's a desire to have a "complete" story, to have explored every nook and cranny, and have the perfect, flawless magnum opus of a paper.

That way lies madness.
To my knowledge the network and the bank take roughly a 50/50 split of the transaction fee. Visa and Mastercard are the ones with market control, so you wouldn't expect them to get only a tiny slice.
> This work was motivated by one of the claims formulated in the Manifest V3 proposal of the Chromium project: "the extension then performs arbitrary (and potentially very slow) JavaScript", talking about content-blockers' ability to process all network requests. From the measurements, we do not think this claim holds, as all popular content-blockers are already very efficient and should not incur any noticeable slow-down for users. Moreover, the efficiency of content-blockers is continuously improving, either thanks to more innovative approaches or using technologies like WebAssembly to reach native performance.

Not commenting on if the proposed V3 changes are a good idea or not but aren't the changes not supposed to prevent badly written extensions from slowing everything down?

It might be the case these adblockers are well written but you can't guarantee that for all extensions. If a user doesn't have an obvious way to know it's the fault of an extension then Chrome gets the blame.

By the way, I have a Chrome extension that from its own tab requests many pages from arbitrary domains to examine their content. I need to modify the request headers going out and observe the response headers coming in, but only for requests made from the extension (so it's not impacting other tabs at all). I'm guessing V3 impacts this only if the request header modifications are dynamic and can't be added via the fetch API?
Gas stations change their prices based on their primary supplier for a given area these prices tend to be more or less the same, they also don’t make money on selling gas these days but rather of the convenience store/restaurant or by leasing that space to someone.
>I would ditch credit cards the moment all the merchants I use would give me a 2% discount for paying cash. Using credit cards is perfectly rational until then.

Only if you don't fall behind on payments and start paying the card their exorbitant interest, as most people end up doing.
I wonder if you can salvage useful RISC-V SoCs from WD disks three or five years down the road. That kind of thing hasn't been useful in the Moore era; now that it's over, maybe it'll make more sense.

I'm not sure what happened with the ATMega. As far as I can tell, Atmel basically stopped developing AVR chips almost entirely around 2006, just selling the old ones; presumably they were having a hard time competing. With Cortex-M0s like the LPC2100? With PICs? With bargain-basement 10¢ Chinese microcontrollers made with obsolete process nodes? I'm not sure. The fact that they eventually sold the AVR line to Microchip makes me suspect it was PIC, but nowadays the chips that look like good AVR alternatives to me are almost entirely 32-bit ARMs.

The reasons they look like good alternatives, though, don't have a lot to do with "differentiation". The AVR was attractive because, as an 8-bit chip, it could be used in places where you couldn't afford a 32-bit or even a 16-bit chip, and it used less power. But then fabrication processes improved to the point where a 32-bit chip costs the same as an AVR, uses less power, runs far faster, and has more memory. Maybe if they'd kept developing the AVR that wouldn't be true — or maybe at that price point almost all the cost goes to dicing, testing, and packaging, which is what you seem to be saying.

> But what about "bigger" systems?… Not the CPU license.

I feel like the major cost of the CPU license is not the money you pay Intel but the built-in IME backdoor it ships with.
Not surprising. I have both apps and since they both give you the price upfront, I just choose whichever one is cheaper assuming wait times are similar.
I would not call it comfortable since both are bleeding money every year. In addition, Waymo, Cruise etc. are all trying hard to put robot taxi's on the road. When that day comes, it will be interesting.
See also airline and hotel reward programs, etc. Basically it stays below the level where it starts to look like a kickback and it’s not totally unreasonable for heavy business travelers to get some perks in exchange for lots of time away from home.
It's a very local market though isn't it? You just have to be better (cheaper, faster, nicer) than them in your city to win that city. People don't even really travel that much, and when they do, and the guidebook said "use Careem in the middle east", well then they would.
1. What aspect of the rendering did you feel you didn't have control over with your own vertex, fragment, and compute shaders?

2. You can hook into most if not all of the physics internals by overriding Update() and FixedUpdate() functions.

Unity is definitely less flexible and powerful than rolling an AAA 3D engine and editor.. But that takes years, and 95% of the time there's a way to solve the problem in Unity.
Anecdotally in my experience there are three categories of people who wish to suicide:

1. People with a terminal illness. Enough said.

2. People acting on impulse and/or not getting proper help. Sure they need some crisis intervention to offer a chance for them to receive proper help.

3. People who have been getting proper help for a long time. They simply lose hope. They view the long time they have been getting proper help as seeming proof they will never feel life is worth living. They dispassionately read coronial reports and suicide methods, carefully put their affairs into an orderly state (in particular financial arrangements for dependents), acquire the required resources to execute a painless while assured lethal plan that imposes no safety risks to others, then go off and do it.

I was in the latter group, but I messed up by saying goodbye to my wife after a little wine (combined with Effexor) and that resulted in the full force of the law whack the shit out of me (and the fact it's obvious you're in this latter group means they take it far more seriously than if it seemed a fleeting impulse).

Anyway by any objective measure the third group are making a rational choice to die. It should not be the community's right to dictate they should indefinitely live in pain.
Not to sound like an ahole but I presume Twitter would argue it's __their__ message (in the sense that it's on their platform). with the sender and recipient having access to it. Once you hit submit you've forfeited "direct ownership" of the message.
I'm also curious how this is more effective at stopping a keylogger than copy/pasting from a password manager, or auto-logging in via one.

Unless it's common for keyloggers to monitor the clipboard?

In which case, for the system they've developed to seemingly work as intended, you'll have to either have a memorizable password (likely relatively insecure), or have your password written down at hand.

I'm skeptical that this nonstandard, hostile UX was designed with any sort of valid threat analysis rather some kind of Rube Goldberg-esque security-through-obscurity scheme that "sounded good" during some meeting.
"Company town" in the old, bad sense doesn't make sense. That's the sense in which the company owns all the land, the only stores are the companies, etc.

It's hard to get good numbers for a cities values, but City of Toronto property taxes are a 4.3 billion dollar line item in the budget and are probably less than 2% assessed value on average (it varies from 0.6 to 2.4 depending on building type). That's a pretty easy lower bound on the real estate in the city being worth 200 billion. Even Google can't afford that.
Fuck, that is shitty. I really wish that hadn't happened to you.
I've been on search committees, and the number one thing that will kill someone is "They seem like a technician." Being good at implementing someone else's ideas is not the way to be a PI.

More accurate pickup times would really help. I've rushed outside numerous times after being given a 2 minute ETA. Pretty much every time I end up waiting outside for 5-10 more minutes after the ETA changes to a longer time.

If I knew the ETA was accurate, I would be more vigilant about being roadside at the correct time.
I'm close enough to their field to say that that's a really low number.
