I don't think how one dresses up financials will have an impact on the stock price 6 months out; there will likely 2 quarters of earning reports (at least 1) which will dictate the price then, not what was released now.
Barrack Obama pardoned Manning on his last day in office. If Assange's only crime is assisting Manning, and Manning's sentence has been commuted by the very President of the United States and is now free, why are we on a hunt for Assange?

It may sound a bit silly but is an honest question.

It's like... if I commit a robbery and you drive the getaway vehicle, I am (the actual robber) deemed innocent and let go, but you still go to prison for being an accomplice. It makes little sense?
Really? The numbers look horrible to me. Both LYFT/UBER have horrible numbers. I would prefer LYFT(@80% discount to IPO price) than UBER(@80% discount to IPO price).

Both of these stock valuations are being pumped and dumped onto public markets with clever tricks. Funny thing is, many of us won't even realize that some of our money will be invested in these stocks without our knowledge(ETFs/Funds tracking indices). Most 401ks market tracking Funds/ETFs will pick up these horrible stocks in time.

Tech wizards of silicon valley have managed to one-up wall street this time, by creating a 100B taxi app. With the 10B they raise from IPO, they will try more desperate measures to try and close the gap in price($100B-$120B) and value($25B-$35B).

What? How do you figure? My observation is that most people absolutely can (and many would seriously benefit from it).

Maybe not for every situation, but for the rare ones where a bike won't do, a cab will.
I think Ford is correct here. Getting the problem 99% right means a lot of people get killed and injured.

By tackling small chunks such as geofencing, and things like autonomous busses on planned routes, the industry will move the ball forward in slow, steady steps.

But to me, the idea that a real self-driving car would be around the corner (i.e. 2020 or 2021) is just laughable. People underestimate the difficulty of that last 1%. My best guess is that the last 1% is greater than the first 99%.

Or, as Yogi Berra might say - the first 99% is the easy part; the second 99% is the hard part.

Some people are excited about Uber having a more diversified business than Lyft. Uber Freight, Uber Eats, Jump bikes and e scooters are some of their offerings. However, currently the revenue they generate (or don't) is completely dwarfed by the ride hailing service. If at some point in the future these other businesses turn out to be profitable, shareholders will insist to break them out of Uber to maximize gains. Ride hailing absolutely has to be profitable for Uber to succeed post IPO. At least for the foreseeable future Uber is exactly Lyft with minor garnishing.

On a technical level: personally I think that the root cause could be a lack of "integration" of the system (MCAS) with the rest.

Meaning that e.g.

1) if the pilots' yokes/sticks are being pulled and

2) if the altitude based on gps and/or air pressure and/or radar is decreasing and

3) if the speed registered by the airspeed probe is high respectively increasing and

4) if the fuel being used by the engines to keep or even increase the speed is very low and

5) if the G-force registered by <some sensor, if it exists?> is lower than usual (neutral or even negative?)

6) etc... (anything else excluding AoA?)

...then the airplane is mooost probably "going down", even if the AoA says the opposite.

As the MCAS auto-trim has apparently a big potential impact on how the airplane flies (surfaces on the tail are big and their angle can move a lot), it should therefore not rely on just 1 (or even 2 duplicate) lonely sensor(s) but on multiple types that provide multiple point-of-views of the aircraft's situation to then abstract/determine/confirm the current high-level situation (in this case "is the aircraft going up or down?") and only after such result to react/take countermeasures to save the aircraft respectively help the pilots and/or lower costs for the flight.

If this is not totally wrong, is this (the total integration of all sensors) how Airbus did it with their super-automated systems like e.g. their side-sticks/joysticks just telling the airplane what pilots "want"? (meaning, did they start already from scratch creating a totally integrated system, if they did create such an integrated system?) (not sure about how automated the new Boeing airplanes are, so I did not mention them...)
I think everyone is underestimating how many people live in these conditions. The Los Angeles economy alone is bigger than almost every other country in the world. Add in the rest of Southern California & The Bay, Phoenix, New Mexico, and the majority of Texas's population -- and that's probably a bigger economy than any other beside China.

Will self-driving cars be applicable EVERYWHERE in EVERY condition shortly? No. But even if they're only available in ideal conditions in some places -- that can still be almost unfathomably huge.
It's worth it until there is an alternative on the road. Eventually, most if not every company get replaced by a better one. Stock market IPOs are never about predicting what will eventually happen to a company. It is not different than say, Tesla. Everybody keeps repeating that the traditional car manufacturers will catch up with Tesla, but even till then Tesla is gonna do business. And as expected once the novelty of their products (EV and self-driving features) got somewhat out of the way, now it is being judged but the revenue and profit numbers it is pulling.
IANAL but maintaining precedence seems reasonable, the same reason Manning was commuted and not pardoned. Not giving the green light for future offenses.
In Europe we think differently as can be read in article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union [0]:

>2. They're reporters... if they don't know what's going on in their own backyard, there's a serious issue.

The point is that it's not really their back yard. It's a different office on a different floor, possibly even a different subcontracted company than where the journalists are working. They don't have any more scope to be aware of the ad tech than they do understanding how a CDN works.

By analogy, this is kind of like expecting a journalists in the old days to be especially aware of conditions in paper mills because their papers are printed on paper.
Did you see these messages for yourself, personally? Or did you just go on "media reporting"

Do you know, personally, if these messages where the "majority" of the content or do you believe if even a single one of these "rot13 cryptofascist dumpster fire" messages where posted anywhere on the network that is justification for a complete ban?

Do believe companies like Mozilla should be uphold legal speech as it pertains to US Laws (as mozilla is a US Company) or should they impose greater censorship over everything that flows through their web browser, picking and choosing what is "acceptable"
To be honest, there isn't any mainstream alternative to OOP, when it comes to building software professionally because of the very wide use of OOP , because of multiple reasons like security (provided by private & protected classes) or data hiding or Abstractions or Encapsulation.

If you are having difficulty with OOP & objects, then go through the reference, but do it, there's no better mainstream alternative.

from my own experience price increase if just on its own of 10% can decease sales by more then 20%. and i assume uber had such ideas and has been simulating them, and I'm sure they are testing it out with smaller but not noticeable increases. let's see how that works for them.

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.

This means complex matching, pricing and routing algorithms that have been developed for almost a decade. It's also about working with regulations at the city level and building a reliable labor force of contractors to supply the marketplace in every new city before the launch date.

There is so many experiments and tweaks to ensure that both supply and demand side remain properly incentivized, not to mentioned fighting deeply entrenched Taxi companies from city to city, that I'm surprised Uber and Lyft have gone to IPO so quickly, other than for cash raising.

> The articles used to have automatic comments sections after each, but the members were such know-it-alls that the site, despite paying staff very well, had difficulty retaining authors. Eventually, that particular place nuked its comments because these members were just the worst type of internet experts, and authors didn’t want their serious work to be followed by a thousand forum comments that begin with ‘well actually.’”

Well actually, author-marketers didn’t like paying money for an “article” only to get trashed for it.

And site operators didn’t want “authors” to realize their “serious” product placements caused a negative impression.

Should is a dangerous word. Just because you or I think something should happen doesn't mean it is in any way realistic. It seems we're a competitive species, and we rarely do anything really hard if it doesn't offer a chance to be the first or best at something, or to better someone else.

That doesn't mean it's impossible, just that we need something to change the market, not fairy tales about international cooperation. Elon Musk's project to massively decrease the cost of space access is a step in the right direction. I don't think we'd ever get to widespread space activity if we depend on massive spending by national governments to do it.
If Uber raises prices, they immediately lose customers to Lyft. It was always a race to the bottom and I don’t see why it would be any different now.

It’s not a study, but it’s been hypothesized that radiation and cosmic rays could cause lasting damage of just this sort through particle showers within the brain. Truthfully though there is very little in the way of studies for the simple fact that it’s hard to set one up for astronauts. Given how radically different the environment in space is compared to Earth though, I’m not finding this surprising. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just the tip of a very dangerous iceberg too, and it turns out that it takes a lot of time and sacrifice to get us to live and thrive somewhere other than Earth’s surface.

Assange: Governments ‘aspire to god-like knowledge’ (2014)
No library, I wrote the SDF/raymarching shaders from scratch. But there are libraries out there...
I use to go back and forth on Julian, but at this point I think he should be punished, but what that punishment should be I don't know. I think Manning stealing the cables was an absolute wrong, and Assange facilitating that shows a level of culpability. He should not be afforded American protection. Crimes were committed, even if they were done with the best intentions, it was still a crime. We all count, or no one counts.
Have some dude oncall? You probably don't need more than one per city.

Or do you not expect the car to detect puke and/or a passed-out passenger? Seems like a trivial problem compared to all the recognition software that would be needed for self-driving.
A good question is, how could we accumulate such evidence? If only someone would, say, publish caches of diplomatic cables so we can know how our governments operate.
Taken further, it's like writing articles about pollution from paper mills.
And with the S-1s coming at increasing frequency for the next several months, I expect this will be repeated many times
The attempt of the US government to prosecute Assange is the gravest possible threat to press freedom imaginable.

People are talking about a hashed password like its something new, but this is not new information at all. The Obama justice department had all the same chat logs - no new evidence has been discovered since then - and knew all about this but decided they couldn't prosecute without endangering press freedom.[1]

So if you don't think this is a major assault on press freedom, you should at least realize you are disagreeing not only with me but literally the Obama justice department which looked at this for years. Why is it that they came to this conclusion and never moved forward with the case, but now the TRUMP administration is pursuing it anyway?

It's not just american journalists that are at risk, but this is meant to send a chilling message to anyone anywhere on earth that you better not report on the US government negatively or else we will have you extradited, prosecuted as a spy, and thrown in solitary.

Anyone cheering on the US government as they try to set a precedent for prosecuting journalists as spies needs to think more carefully about this issue.

Facebook Click-Gap: Google-like approach to stop fake news going viral
I' repeat the quote:

> Smolin concludes with the implications of all this for our understanding of space and time. He suggests that time is irreversible and fundamental, in the sense that the processes by which future events are produced from present ones are truly basic: they do not need to be explained in terms of more basic ideas. Space, however, is different. He argues that it emerges from something deeper.

Let's call the "truly basic" coordinate magic and the coordinates the "emerges from something deeper" nonmagic.

In Galilean space you can't mix the special and temporal coordinates. The transformation, so they mix the special coordinates when there is a rotation, the time is the same time for everyone.

ct' = ct

x' = x + v/c ct

So time can be totally different from space, because it doesn't get mixed by boost. You can proclaim that time is magic and the space coordinates are not magic. And there is no problem because the time is the same time for everyone.

In the Minkowski space there is 1 time-like component and 3 space-like components, and they are different, because it is not an Euclidean space where the metric is defined by a positive-definite matrix (that is usually take as the identity to make the calculation simpler).

In spite the 1 time-like component and 3 space-like components are somewhat different, they can't be very different because they get mixed with the boost, i.e.

ct' = something(ct) + something (x)

x' = something(ct) + something (x)

I guess you know that the exact coefficients are in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_transformation , but I'm too lazy to copy them.

Let's suppose that in your reference frame (ct, x, y, z) time is magic and space is not magic (or the other way around). What happens in a reference frame that is moving at a different speed and the coordinates are (ct', x', y', z')?

Is the new time ct' magic? But ct' is a linear combination of the original magic ct and the nonmagical x. In the original notation, is ct' something "truly basic" or it "emerges from something deeper" or it is a combination? How can it be "truly basic" if the result you get for ct' when you change your reference frame includes "somethin deeper"?

Repeat the analysis for x', y' or z' depending on the direction of the boost.
