I never said it was “wrong,” just that there were consequences to this kind of thinking. So if you build something that is empty for 15 years, it was useless for half its lifetime, and that is if it was even being maintained while basically derelict; it is highly likely that when the building is actually needed, they will tear it down and start over again.

China will eventually move to a high skilled labor force and these problems will go away. But that is not today.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-Corner_Method

You can sort Chinese characters (including Kanji but i'm not sure they use the Four Corners Method) by the Four Corners method. Why would you need to sort kanji phonetically in the first place? Do Japanese users actually expect names to be sorted phonetically? English speakers don't expect names to be sorted by IPA so consistency of the sorting scheme should be all that matters.

Alright...

If you're going to research a topic and some of that research turns up as "Lots of websites run these ad networks" it is a necessary step to ask "do we do that too?".

So there's two options here:

1) The reporter knew the parent company does this.

2) The reporter doesn't know.

In case 1, they either don't talk about it because they are blocked or they don't think it is necessary (which I'd argue is at best misleading and at worst malicious). For case 2, well that just doesn't seem like good reporting.

So I think your analogy doesn't work. It isn't because "people don't know tech" but rather "are journalists asking the right questions and doing good research." If the latter is poor because "they don't know tech" then we have a major problem and as the tech class we need to call them out on it (create a feedback loop to solve the problem).

It seems that Amazon grew its annual sales by around $50 billion from 2017 to 2018 for a growth rate of "only" 19% (compared with 24% the year before). I'm not exactly concerned for them.

> In 2018, Amazon’s nearly $300 billion in GMV was about a 19 percent jump from the prior year. That was notably slower than the rates of increase of 24 percent and 27 percent, respectively, in 2017 and 2016.

Disney+ to Launch in November $6.99 Monthly including 30 Seasons of the Simpsons
this article was a blast for the past lol. I used to post there, i honestly doubt that most of misc even went to a gym. I stopped after I got into some political argument with some regular and he negged my account by 1000s and it ended up being pointless posting there, went to reddit for dumb offtopic stuff.
The link doesn’t contain any pictures, but it does have words inside a diagram. Here is the full quote of the content warning from the link:

Content warning: Explicit names of sexual practices (some are niche/fetish and one can find them distasteful or triggering). Most channels contain sexually explicit images. None of these links is an endorsement.

Subreddits are clickable. Though, think twice before you do so. :)

"At launch, Disney+ will include 7,500 episodes, including from 25 original series; 400 library movie titles; and 100 recent theatrical films releases, according to Agnes Chu, senior VP of content, Disney+. That includes exclusive rights to all 30 seasons of "The Simpsons," which Disney obtained through the acquisition of 21st Century Fox. In year five of Disney+, the company expects to have an annual production slate of some 50 originals, Chu said. Disney+ will be an ad-free service, supported solely by subscription fees. It's going to have a wide platform footprint, spanning game consoles, smart TVs and connected streaming devices, including Roku and PlayStation 4, said Michael Paull, president of Disney Streaming Services (formerly BAMTech)."
> The point still stands ...

It's an entirely separate (and frankly relatively trivial) issue. This part of the discussion involves whether or not Assange's arrest was a consequence of (in @pvg's words) 'his journalistic activities'. It clearly was. See Greenwald's analysis in the Intercept today, with quotes directly from the extradition request. The extradition attempt is part of an ongoing assault by the US government on investigative journalism.

> I thought a summons ..

The legal docs involved here are an arrest warrant and extradition request. It's well beyond the summons stage.

1. The pitot tubes froze (this was already a known possibility) and this particular plane was scheduled to replace those tubes;
2. When the speed metrics became unreliable, system didn't do anything uncommanded, disengaged autopilot gracefully, notified the pilots and handed control over to them;
3. Stall warnings went off and one of the pilots continued to pull on the stick (this baffled other pilots I heard speak about this too because this is the exact opposite thing to do during a stall)
4. It's clear from their exchanges in the cockpit that this particular pilot was very nervous during the whole thing.

What's complicated about that? I can't see how a computerised system could have helped here. Computer had no reliable grounds to make a decision and it did exactly what it should and what should have neen expected by the pilots at the time.
you can also use :host, which target the custom element specifically (and using :host on custom-element children does not, from what I recall off hand, get broken when nesting) and then target its children.

Also, css variables can be global and still enter into the shadow-dom unobtrusively (This is without using the polyfills, though, I believe this is a limitation in the polyfills currently, which might be why that part of it has been confusing in the past.).

You are reducing the OP's point, which is rather important, to silly analogies about intent. The OP's point is also why, for eg., many govts' attempts to ban encryption are stupid because you cannot outlaw math. Which is why the legality of both having and breaking encryption needs to be detached from intent.
The authors expanded this article out into a full book of the same name that gives each strip deconstruction (as well as a handful that don't appear in this article) a full two page spread. It's definitely worth picking up if this article appeals.

>College is still an open question. I'm actually currently waiting on decisions from several colleges. Even if I got into my top choice, I'm not sure I'll go. But right now I am leaning towards it because college isn't just about a career, it's also a very social experience. Many people mature a lot in college.

That is great, but I am still 100% sceptical of a web component intergration with any given framework. Is the integration point opinounated? Is it reactive, callbacks? Two way bindings? What does the application lifecycle look like? Would it be just opiononated sets of components? I just don't know... If I'm wrapping web components to meet our design patterns then why bother at all? I feel like the entire web component concept from an API level is a great concept but just not there for real world at scale consumption. I may just be not optimistic about it all.

Or maybe he actually did it and deserves to go to prison for it. Hiding in a cupboard for seven years rather than going in and facing the charges is a good way to look guilty. Blaming "foreign spies" in an attempt to hide what you did so that you don't look as bad is the kind of thing an narcissistic toolbag might do.

It is possible for Assange to be a bad guy and also for the U.S. going after him after all this time to also be unjust and bad. Not everything is a conspiracy and you don't necessarily have any "good" people when you start messing with international espionage and related areas.

Am I missing something subtle in this Kanji example, or all 4 names actually written the same?:

"There are four Japanese women whose names you have to sort: Junko, Atsuko, Kiyoko, and Akiko. This does not seem difficult, until they each show you how they write their names in kanji:

淳子 (Junko)
淳子 (Atsuko)
淳子 (Kiyoko)
淳子 (Akiko)"

I'm not familiar with Japanese at all (and have never had to deal with localization beyond date formats), even less so written, but these seem like wildly different pronunciations for some spelled the same.

I know English has its own large set of warts with pronunciations and spellings (even disregarding US vs every other English speaking nation), but this seems overly odd.

How do you get further context on how to pronounce a proper name like this? The post mentions context, but obviously in the above example, lacking the "abc" spelling (as the post terms it), what context do you have to know the proper pronunciation?
I like the confidence of self driving capability though

> If Delta airlines started charging for 2nd baggage, and after their announcement United/American/Southwest follow suit, that's not a price collusion if it wasn't predetermined secretly through implicit and explicit signaling among the airlines.

I understand that.

That's why I said "suspicion". Something that seems too convenient and warrants some more poking and prodding and surveillance.

It's not as though folks colluding walk around waving "I am colluding, please investigate further" placards.

You are implying an argument I did not make. I was replying to the statement "The cost of entry into this space is much greater than I think most people realize. It's not "building an app". It's building a balanced, efficient marketplace." My point is that building a balanced, efficient marketplace is actually not that difficult. The fact that Uber and Lyft can kill the competition now by burning through multiple billions in VC funding is irrelevant to that.

In the end, I think the ride-sharing business will look a lot like the airlines: lots of people traveling, but not a particularly great business.
Just a thought experiment, don't take it too seriously:

The crux of the issue is that kanji don't have an inherent "natural" ordering that a user would expect. Sorting by their character code doesn't mean anything to a Japanese person. But, what if we made our own standard of what entails a "natural order". There's nothing about A–Z that makes the alphabet obligated to be in that order (and not something like based on sound or shape) other than it being the convention that developed. Even hiragana can have different orderings (AIUEO vs IROHA [0])

One proposed method would be to do it how the dictionaries do it: first sort by major radical, [1] and then by stroke count. This is something most Japanese learn when learning how to write characters anyway (of course ambiguities would arise when the radical is shared and the stroke count is the same, but we could just choose a third arbitrary factor; we'd also have to decide on a specific written form as stroke count can differ depending on whether it is handwritten or the font).

We could then teach our approach to schoolchildren and it would just become accepted over time like other things they learn. But wait you say, it's more natural for them to sort on pronunciation. However, if I gave you a list of polygon names and told you to sort by the number of sides they had, you'd be perfectly capable of doing it despite that not being alphabetical. Things are less "unnatural" if you grew up learning them and your brain doesn't experience dissonance.

Anyway, just my hot take.

Hey Venkat! Thanks for replying in good humor.

Now that you explain your reasoning a bit, and upon re-reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serverless_computing, I think using "serverless" in this context makes sense. I see "serverless" used so much more often to describe compute runtimes like AWS Lambda than databases that, I confess, I thought you might be trying to ride that wave's popularity; and/or that you might be using "serverless" _just_ because the servers were managed by you not the users, whereas you allocate capacity on a more granular level than the server.

I do still recommend you take out the "cloud hardware" bit ;D

Thanks for the explanation, and best of luck! Cool model.

Pigs get slaughtered. Trying to time your options on a volatile stock to avoid short-term capital gains is gambling. Same-day exercise + sell is what any financial advisor will recommend.

RSU risk is worse because it is outside of your control, unless of course you don't have RSUs. You get taxed on the vest date. Withholding is often at the 25% minimum government rate. Assuming you're in a no-sell window, any downward movement before you can sell increases your effective tax rate, potentially to over 100% in the worst case. Consider the dot-com crash case where your RSUs were worth $1M on the vest date, withholding is $250K, taxes owed are ~$370K, and your regular salary is $100K. If the stock goes to $0 before you can sell... On April 15, the government will demand a check from you for something around $120K, but all you actually took home was around $70K. An effective tax rate of around 170%!

The real issue here might be that you can only deduct $3000 per year in losses. With $1M in losses, you'll be able to carry that over for centuries!

Kanji in Japanese are sorted by writing them out phonetically in Kana and then sorting by the kana.

English speakers don't expect names to be sorted by IPA because most English speakers don't know IPA, but all Japanese speakers do know the kana.

The fact that they are sorted as-if written in kana means that the exact same written character will be sorted differently according to context. For "not names" we actually do have fairly good algorithms for determining the pronunciation of Kanji, but for many names there is literally no way to know how to pronounce them without asking.

You are right in that it uses SSD and indexes under the hood to power the SQL queries. There are volume discounts available at higher storage volumes in the 10s of TB range, so, the cost wouldn't scale linearly.

Rockset builds multiple indexes to enable low latency SQL queries that can be served directly into applications. This might not make sense for say - storing a lot of log data and querying it rarely, and makes more sense for data that needs to be actively queried with low latency.
