I beg to differ. A selfie is specifically a photograph taken from the hand pointed at yourself.

There's something I don't quite get. If you set up a website with asp.Net core or node, and you're using async io everywhere. Doesn't lambda restrict the process to one request at a time?
If it's like that, doesn't lambda underutilize resources?
Hah, of course.

The part that I wish someone would break is hotel/tourism tax. It's a tax that locals rarely pay, but visitors pay all the time, and since visitors don't vote where they visit, it's a form or taxation without representation.
This was published on their own website, it is therefore biased toward a good perception of them. It doesn't seem to be a fair and independent review to help build an opinion.
The government knows anyway. Half of the posts about censorship I see are just screenshots of two sides of a conversation, showing which messages didn't make it to the other end. The visibility controls are there to hide that stuff from people who're not part of the government.

I thought about my post after I read it and came to this- given Djikstra's (only system which can describe an empty interval and interval with first element without "unnaturals" ) and (?)'s argument that it creates a nice homomorphism between real-number intervals and integer slices then it's inarguable to me that 0-based is more mathematically elegant.

Where I guess there's space to disagree is this, I believe (to almost a point of faith I guess) that mathematical/logical elegance is important, and moving away from it is normally a mistake which leads to more pain in the long run.
I'm not convinced the people with resources to make $20m in hotel revenues from 18 shell corporations are the little guy being stamped on and the neighbours being buzzed by people wanting hotel service are the Big Bad Corporation here...
Yeah I think I agree with all that, I think I just have a kind of pedantic point that getting to 2019 Japan from 2019 China would be a net positive.

So you stepped from “people are downvoting my comment” to “people are bristling at the suggestion to have more gratitude”, and then you jumped from there to “more people should show gratitude”. Both of those are non-sequiturs and therefore must be dismissed. I trust that you’re able to see why those don’t logically follow.
I can’t imagine ever being in a situation where I’ve already entered enough digits of my credit card number into a form to trigger some sort of formatting and then decided that I no longer want to continue the transaction because no formatting happened, e.g. because it’s just a plain old input. Is this a real thing?
The same could be said for all foreign realestate investment where homes sit empty. (Granted that could be solved by a vacancy tax.)

But people already buy places and rent them out as income property. This puts a burden on renters and increases the incentives for builders to only construct larger apartments and homes. It raises the price for everyone and poor single people suffer the most.

What about drone selfies? That's definitely a term, and it breaks your criteria. Could we call this a timed tripod selfie?

I propose that photographer must a) be the primary subject of the photo, b) be engaged with the camera in some way, in order to categorize as a selfie.

So yeah, pretty sure this isn't a selfie. Also this makes me want to play the new Metro.
I get what you're saying, but any travel would then be " taxation without representation". Ultimately the locals have to be the ones to make the call on local taxes.

I get what you're getting at but I'm not sure I see a good way around that. Folks who can't vote on local taxes, tax free? Everyone would just shop the next town or state over....

I think that's just too expansive of a view on taxation and representation to make sense.

> it's a form or taxation without representation.

Immigrants, even permanent residents, pay all the taxes and have none of the representation. Felons too (while in prison and up to 2 years after).

I have a feeling “taxation without representation” stopped being an applicable argument as soon as USA won the independence war.

I had a similar thought when trying the phone number field. I immediately thought "hey, this is what I've been keeping away from Yahoo for years..."
I don't think "taxation without representation" means what you think it means. This city is run by and for the benefit of New Yorkers; if you don't like it, don't visit. Presumably of they try to charge more than visitors are willing to pay they would lose tourist dollars.
taxes don’t drive it. the 10% income tax savings is made up by prop tax and other costs.

yes austin is cheaper but not because of taxes
It's certainly an interesting idea, but from my experience, most companies I worked for had values that were primarily all talk and weren't really substantial. Especially when things like 'Open Communication' and 'Fast-paced environment' mean completely different things to different people. Every company describes themselves as having 'impressive team members'. I'm not sure how this would help me actually find a company with the desired values when companies are able to say whatever they want about themselves.

Why doesn't the city just make a law that fines Airbnb if they offer something they don't like? Is that impossible or did I miss it?
Not sure that’s a valid hypothetical yet. There needs to be a counterparty to this hypothetical debt—how will that work?
Investors like patents and trademarks in the "better to have some than have none" sense. That can be still be true even when the patent system is a net minus for small startups.

Because renting != hotel. There is a huge different between how a tourist treats a building/apartment/neighborhood and a resident does. There are many good reasons why hotels have regulations. Mini-hotel platforms are not subject to the same things.

It COULD be a "real thing" but 100% don't believe it until someone links a study backing up a claim like that.

Breaking up long numbers into smaller input fields CAN help with data-entry (think dyslexia etc.) but in the case of CC numbers that are of different formats (ie: VISA vs AMEX) there's no good way to "auto-format" it even if you knew the issuing PCN of the card before hand.

So - best practice generally is, ignore the dashes and let it be entered as a 10-19 digit numeric only field (or 13-19 if you're not worried about ancient cards). Just don't allow non 0-9 characters in the input via JS which is SUPER easy. Then, before submission, ensure it passes a mod-10 Luhn check to let someone know they fat-fingered it! Easy-peasy.

That's true if we're talking about the overall architecture of the project. And, since R permits so many different coding styles (and paradigms: native functional and several OO), the team should have someone (usually the most senior software engineer) play the role of an architect and design the structure of the code, data structures, API, and so on.

Perhaps having a fixed (and commonly agreed on) set of design patterns - like in Java - makes development easier and smoother, but most of the projects I've worked on have proven successful, so maybe it's not that bad either... :-)
The lab I work in at NASA Goddard is doing the detector characterization for WFIRST. There are 18, 4k × 4K detectors in the WFIRST array, for a resolution of about 300 megapixels, as mentioned in the article. The detectors are arranged in an unusual pattern, but I don't know what drove that design. I am, at this moment, working on a new fileserver that will be used for WFIRST detector test data. It will start off with a RAID array of just under 1PB and will likely be expanded as we proceed with testing.

Can you expand on what the software solution would look like here? I'm curious why the hotel lobby doesn't scrape Airbnb and report all the properties that are breaking regulation.

Why? You've already come to the conclusion that anybody that disagrees with you is an idiot, and you think your argument is fully reasoned and covers all bases. Why should I believe that you would change your mind given new information?
No, it harms communities by turning apartments into hotels. Hotels have externalities, which is why they're zoned.
We speculated that it was the result of less frustration when entering the card number. Perhaps the visual parity between the distribution of the numbers on the card and the form causes customers to make fewer erroneous entries. I'd be lying if I said I knew the exact reason but that is what we observed.

edit: I want to add that this wasn't a scientific study, we did a lot of A/B tests so we felt pretty confident about it but I wouldn't claim that it's a general rule.
This isn't just the military. Corporations rarely are held 100% accountable for the damage they do. The only person who cares about individuals are individuals.
All of the laws regarding noise, littering, loitering, smoking, etc. don't magically vanish. You have the same recourse against a renter as you would a tourist.

I've spent my vacations in rural France every year for the last 10 years or so. There are certainly some problems — smaller places just don't feel very dynamic economically.
On the other hand, the French seem to have a vastly better life/work balance, and I really enjoy their unhurried way of life, even though as a customer, it's not always to my benefit.

If only there were some way, a technology, even, of increasing the total number of units on a given plot of land, such that those who want to live in a city or visit a city wouldn't have to compete so vigorously for livable housing units.

Alas, we can only dream that such a technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_frame
Replied to a comment below that touches on this, but the whole point is for teams to explain what things like “Open Communication” and “Fast-Paced Environment” mean to them. You can read how each team qualifies each of their value selections.

Companies are limited to choosing 8 values and they’re also asked to rank them in order of importance. You’ll notice that many teams don’t select “Impressive Team Members.”
NYC seems to have quite a bit of new development.
In fact, the Keyhole satellites those agencies used were state-of-the-art at one time. And "Google" is a much less scary name than "NSA Surveillance Tool," though there's little practical difference between the two in terms of the amount of data they scoop up on each of us. Of course, only one requires a court order (at least theoretically) to use it against you.
It reminds of a video about research Nvidea was conducting on lenses that allowed to have a display closer than the 7 or so cm that was the limit in how close our eyes could focus on an object. In other words, this isn't just about being more immersive, it's about having headsets that are not these big blocks of plastic we put on our heads, but more like everyday glasses or at least goggles.
I speak C2 Spanish and C1 French. I have certifications for both. I'm currently learning Italian, and expect to move from A2 to C1 within a year.

But that doesn't change the fact that the original incentives for the USPTO are wrong.
Well, considering how the U.S. (where I live) spends about 1 trillion + on war or war-related stuff each year, and, considering all the people in the country with crappy jobs that can't pay the bills, seems like shifting even say $500 billion (plenty enough left to bomb people) to hire or train folks to solve these problems would be a good investment.
I had pretty much stopped reading for enjoyment before smart phones. Have plowed through a bunch of books now thanks to the Kindle app. It's a combination of always being with you, remembering where you were across devices, and being able to adjust the font size to whatever's comfortable at the time. The kids getting older doesn't hurt either :-).
This benchmark is all over the place; there are way too many variables changing to make any sorts of conclusions. You have flask-gunicorn-meinheld stack on the fargate side, all bits that might impact performance. Then there are the failing requests that alone would disqualify the comparison. I would also assume ApiGW to be slower than plain ELB, although I don't know for sure and this comparison certainly did give any information about that. No comparison of different lambda/fargate instance types, nor any mention about costs. Obviously just throwing more money should get better perf, so perf/$ is sort of important.
By that logic, going to a movie is taxation without representation. Should movie theaters be outlawed?
I am not saying that they should go on breaking the laws. The laws are clear. But at certain times, the laws have been deliberately lobbied to create a hindrance for any new players in the market. Like in this case, applying for a permit to rent out apartments should have been much easier than the current cumbersome process is.

Like NY Taxi Medallions. Before Uber, Lyft or other ride-sharing apps, there was only 13,587 yellow cabs in the city of 8.5 million people. Currently, there are an estimated 100,000 cabs in the city which resulted in a drop of medallion prices from $1.4 million in 2014 to just $140,000 now. It was an artificial bubble created by the taxi drivers community (and government) to keep the medallion price inflated. It is easy to see why they were against ride-sharing apps.

Or California housing zones. We all know that California has a housing crisis and one of the potential solution is to have multi-story buildings. For that, we need easy rezoning of residential zones to allow multi-story building redevelopment. However, most of the community members refuse to allow for that since it would bring down the rent and property prices. So the community is not interested in allowing easy development of multi-story buildings.
I still see the 3dfx driver in my mesa folder... I'm surprised now since I thought I read it was removed a year ago or so, but that might have been the kernel driver.
Pretty much all the time. The chair I'm sitting in wasn't caused be me, and vice versa.
I think it makes sense to ask companies to explicitly list cultural values they prioritize the most as well as what they value the least. Evaluating/creating a company culture is in a way really about understanding what the tradeoffs and sacrifices are.
> Nah, it's just a re-implementation of S, which was really, really old and different from what people expect.

Was S "really, really old" when it was re-implemented in R? Gentleman and Ihaka first announced R in 1993 (26 years ago!).

The development of S started in 1976 (i.e. 17 years before R was first released). R was a implementation of S3, "the New S language", which was a major rewrite done in 1988 (it was just five years old when R was announced!).
You have to look at the overall benefit, not just the benefit of the local community. I gave certain examples why the community choice might be due to their own selfish reasons in the reply to comment above yours.

"with rising economic inequality, declining social mobility, and accelerating climate change."

I'm always puzzled when someones wishes the US were more of a socialist country.

You really do have more economic inequality in socialist countries. The top wage earners (and at some point, all wage earners) are taxed at much a higher rate, which reduces overall wages.

We should be funding education programs to help people gain the skills to get out of poverty. Not giving them a handout, which is only temporary.

Climate change will only be solved with better technology, which if history is any example, will come from the private sector.

"So policies that are meant to encourage civic-minded use (car pooling) of a public resource (roads) are instead turned into a fee-for-service opportunity for well-to-do commuters to get to work faster"

I think this is a great idea. If you want to get to your destination faster, you pay for it. In a sense, it's a usage tax.
