Knowing the filth of Uber (at many ranks/depts) they could just be testing the waters to see what they can get away with. Politicians do this all the time. They use the media/news outlets to circulate rumors of "10% tax increase on X" and once they measure the outrage they eventually impose the 5% they initially planned. This way the masses are happy for avoiding the 10%, and the politicians are happy because they were really planning for a 3%, so yey.

I woulnd't be surprised if Uber measures the attractions/reactions the same way, and in the end of the day delivers in a similar manner.
It cuts into market share regardless. Why would market share changes matter for browser engine?
This is actually an interesting idea. I'd say (only half tongue-in-cheek) that then maybe we can tax companies heavily for all IP lawsuits they engage in so compensate for the massive money cost to citizens that the system of circular patent trolling creates.
I think it's a stretch to say that just because the item fits easily within your palm it's, "clearly intended for teenagers to be able to get access to nicotine discreetly while still in school."
You can want both. But it can’t happen. I personally would rather not have a world where marijuana use is widespread, but I would rather have that if it means taking away one more tool from the justice system to punish people (unequally) for a victimless crime.
I don't want VR to simulate things I can actually do. I want VR to simulate things I can never do.

No, P6 was intended to fix as many Perl 5 problems as possible, and being eminently parseable was considered very important (and important in deciding to forsake backwards-compatibility, I believe).
In fact, a key design-goal is having the language defined by a well-formed grammar that it actually uses to parse itself — and thus that can be used by tools such as editors to parse it just as easily.

I don't know what happened to our other conversation - but thanks for the edit on 1984 - I must have pulled that from back to the future in my head!

I definitely do agree there are aspects of our lives going towards TNG. I think parts of our psyche are going towards 1984. There is definitely less fighting of the system per se these days. Much more surveillance, both from the corporate world and the government world. There are people still dying at the hands of the police - and I get the police are in danger, but some of that danger is definitely societally self-inflicted to some degree.

And all that being true there's definitely aspects of TNG that are like 1984 - can you imagine trying to hide a petty crime in TNG - they would have so much surveillance and data it would be near impossible.
Human Rights Implications of IBM Watson’s ‘Personality Insights’ Tool
Andrew from TakeShape here! The primary author of this library. We tired a number of different form libraries before settling on writing our own. You can check out a full talk I gave on ShapeForm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iplY8Le1zK0) or you can just read my slides (https://shape-form-talk.netlify.com/) from the talk.

ShapeForm has several nice features that make it perfect for our use case, and may yours:

JSON Schema validation - Easily share the same form validation frontend and backend

️ Fast - Pure components for fast rendering even with large forms

Redux / Standalone state management - Choose your own adventure

Custom widgets - Widgets are simply React components

Form reducers - Useful for async validation, data normalization, the sky's the limit.

If you find ShapeForm useful or want to make it more useful I'd love for you to contribute to the project!
I’m not so familiar with this company, so I searched for “juul ad” images. The people in the ads look awfully young. Twentysomethings.
TiDB is built as a set of abstractions on top of RocksDB, inheriting weaknesses intrinsic to that style of architecture. Two things I would call out about the design:

First, loose coupling through the layers of the stack probably gives up an order of magnitude in throughput on the same hardware versus a state-of-the-art tightly coupled architecture for many workloads. Many optimizations are enabled when high level orchestration and operation semantics (like a SQL join) are understood at every level of the stack down to DMA scheduling. Most open source databases use loose coupling because (1) it is much simpler to design and (2) developers can reuse third-party code for parts they lack the expertise or resources to implement themselves.

Second, RocksDB is a modern implementation of an obsolete design. As a practical matter, this has a high cost in terms of storage scalability and throughput. Many open source projects use it because they don't have a clear idea of how to design something better. Applications where storage engine performance and scalability are critical, e.g. real-time sensor data models, is an area where open source is not remotely competitive at the moment.

Unfortunately, these criticisms could be leveled at most open source database engine designs, which tend to optimize for expediency and ease of implementation rather than performance, and with little awareness of how much performance is being sacrificed. The divergence between academic literature and state-of-the-art in databases is now almost unrecognizable, and the handful of people with expertise in high-end implementation are not working on open source systems.

Every time Apple's repair policies come up on HN, someone mentions Louis Rossmann, and every time they do, someone replies (and it seems like a different person each time) pointing out that he has a significant bias against Apple, and to take what he says about them with a grain of salt.

All I personally know about it is what I've seen on here, but it does seem like it's worth being a little skeptical about what Rossmann has to say about Apple.
Couple of pieces of feedback:

1. There's an order of magnitude difference in the difficulty of problems. Some are hardly more complex than a couple of subscripts and maybe a \frac{}{}, while others need matrix notation. However, they all count as "1 problem." That's pretty weird.

2. There were also a couple of problems where I couldn't figure out why it wasn't accepting my answer, as it was visually identical. It must already be allowing for several variations (\text vs. \operatorname, \over vs. \frac), but Latex is so flexible it doesn't seem to be able to catch all the equivalent ways to solve problems. Plus, there's absolutely no feedback, which means you can sink 30 seconds into a hard problem, not have it accept it, and have no idea what to do next.

Wow you maybe could.

Telluride -> Denver is 360 miles by road. At $0.58/mile that's ~$210.

KTEX -> KDEN is 190nm, call it 2 hours in a Cessna 172 with run-up and taxi. I can't find aircraft rental rates there in 5 minutes of search, but anything under $105/hr wet would make it cheaper than driving at IRS rates.

Telluride is at 9070 feet elevation though, so make sure you know how to fly in the mountains!
Sorry, I should have made that comment specific to WaveCel, the article mentioned helmets available in the $150 to $300 range.

Well, why not both? It would be very Uber to propose a $21 minimum wage law for drivers and then .. just not pay them that.
Tooltips are fantastic; you almost can't use them too much, especially if their appearance/disappearance is sensibly managed by the UI framework.

By "tooltips", I'm referring to those canned pieces of text in a balloon that show up when the pointer is hovered over a UI element.

The article is stupidly calling something else "tooltip"; namely "tip of the day" type dialogs that pop up and must be dismissed, which teach the user about features or usage.

Such events are not called "tooltips".

Please don't contribute to confusion in naming.
I don’t know what the historical software sales revenues were for boxed software in the Windows desktop era.

But I am pretty sure the vast majority of applications on the App Store in the $1-$10 range would simply not have been possible to monetize in the Windows XP era.

Remember shareware? What percent of people actually paid for that? You think the market was even 1% the size it is now? CompUSA’s best annual revenue was $2 billion and only a fraction of that was software, and only a fraction of a faction of that was anything but enterprise software and big studio games.

And the market for apps on phones was a fraction of 1% of what we have now from the App Stores.
he mentioned that they were crypto ads. Most crypto related companies are not scams, yet fb and google and reddit ban them to appease government officials. Frankly , with fb & google having monopolised the space its not surprising that brave is picking up their leftovers. There are not many ways to solve this chicken and egg problem
(Video game business) Allowed as long as it doesn't conflict. Was suggested by my superior to notify the company if I release something even if it's not a conflict, just to cover myself.

Ok, although I would be wary of using a numerical comparison for anything except catching obvious errors.

I should have asked this before, but "data science" is a pretty broad term - who are you hoping to target with this? I'm guessing for pretty junior positions but want to clarify.

I don't think so at all. If I put myself in the shoes of marketing or R&D, it's totally obvious that "easily hidden in the palm" would have probably come from a brainstorming session where one of the items was was some version of "teens want to avoid getting caught". It's not necessarily what happened, but it's miles from unrealistically cynical.
I have now finished the videos and have a few thoughts.

Firstly, because I mentioned this before, the audio has some serious quirks that need to be fixed. The videos by John Harris in particular are very quiet and require me to set my audio to a volume that would be deafening on most other video or audio file. I actually had to adjust my audio hardware's volume because maxing it out on the OS was still too quiet.

Secondly, there seems to be a disconnect between what the page claims Kubernetes Academy is and what content is covered in the course. None of the videos are meant to be used as code-along projects and none of them offer any instruction or direction to the viewer. The videos cover the theory of Kubernetes and nothing else, even the "operations" section has videos that follow a train-of-thought approach to some tips and tricks but assume that you already know how to use the tools being described. This is particularly strange in the case of the "Introduction to Kubectl" video because the content is in no way an introduction and the instructor begins by saying that he assumes you are already comfortable with kubectl. The description of the video even seems to contradict the title's claim that it is introductory.

Thirdly, the videos are not instructional. I did find value in this course and I understand Kubernetes better now than I did before but they are actually lectures and are not meant to get a viewer up and running with their own project. When I saw this yesterday I dedicated my secondary monitor to the page and set my terminal to full-screen on the primary monitor and was ready to dig into Kubernetes. Even the "operations" video on kubectl is impossible to follow without constant pausing and back-tracking. The instructor types out a command while explaining it and immediately executes and moves on to the next command. Again, it seems like written content being forced into a video format.

Although I did learn from the course I wish that I had just started with Kubernetes's own tutorial because I still had nothing Kubernetes-related accomplished to show for my time. I would recommend this content to someone who does not know what Kubernetes is and would like to know enough to decide whether or not to learn it.
Yeah, I agree with this. Ridesharing drivers have gotten SO BAD, its rare I get one that doesn't have at least a few traffic infractions during a 10-15 minute ride.
Interesting that they cut the lines instead of tapping them. Maybe the technology wasn’t there yet, or they were in too much of a hurry.
If I was a company with demand for custom silicon, I would just license ARM. For example: look at the dozens (hundreds?) of companies licensing ARM.

If I cared about having an open AND mature ISA, I'd pick POWER now.

Since both RISC-V and POWER are now free, I'm expecting to see a mix of the best of both.
We don't rely on extension and/or DOM APIs like other approaches—we're the browser. It's much harder to fool the browser. Additionally, because our models are built on client-side operations, analysis on the client can be done without the need to leak any data from the user's session. That's about as much as I'm happy to discuss. Fraud prevention is one of the few opaque areas in our project, for good reason. I hope that helps!
I don't know why you are getting downvoted.
Before I signed, I was presented with a contract with one of those "you and all of your thoughts are our property" clauses. Those never hold up in court where I live, but I still had it changed to only include any work done during work hours and work that conflicts with the interests of the company. I don't have to report hobby projects that fall outside of that.

If I'd want to start monetizing a side project, I do have to report it, but as long as there's no conflict of interest they're fine with it.
It's false, at least insofar as teen smoking goes. E-cigarettes have more or less completely erased any gains in getting teens to stop smoking over the past couple decades. https://www.politifact.com/virginia/statements/2019/jun/12/t...
There is a certain elegance to bare lists, as any lisp programmer will probably agree with. It enables the programmer to build their own abstractions as they go.

That is also true for the overly simple object model of Perl 5, it is more like an OOP construction kit, which enables things like Moose which has for almost 15 years provided Perl 5 with a very flexible object model.

It would be very interesting to know if anybody knows of similar systems for other languages?

Large OO codebases can be downright nasty to navigate and while I have never had the opportunity to use something like Moose for large scale projects I imagine that's where it would shine.

He doesn't want to discuss alternative viewpoints. He wants to throw mud because he can't go right out and say he's a creationist because historically this has probably hasn't gone well for him in prior discussions.

Creationism is a intellectually bankrupt dead end that gives a boring answer of "god did it" to any and all interesting questions and requires no further proof or analysis because god isn't subject to any particular rules and can in fact do it however he pleases whereas scientific theories always have edges you can pick on where things could be improved upon.

Since god did it needs no correction or analysis and provides no useful topics for discussion creationists pick at any flaw they can find in the scientific method or particular theories.

Since they rarely understand the scientific method or the thing they are criticizing in the first place such critiques are often not even wrong.

People like this are huge time wasters that will never learn anything from such discussion and rarely provide any useful data other than practice dealing with bad arguments. This is true even when the poster themselves is by other measures actually a smart person. They just create much more complicated insane models of the world that require more effort to refute.

The actually intelligent religious people have long since realized they could say "god did IT" where it is the universe rather than insisting he sit on earth creating thousands of slightly improved models of snails over the epochs in a way that looks really convincingly like evolution because this either implies he's imperfect because he didn't create the snail right in the first place or that he really likes jerking biology students chains.

This looks fantastic! I've used Mint to track my expenses and this looks way better (especially the course correction concept.) The biggest issue that comes up when entering financial data into something like this is how is the data stored and what security measures are in place? If my financial data was leaked, I know that hackers could use that to get access to my bank accounts.

Please don't take this personally, but reading through your blog post, you mentioned that you had limited DevOps experience that makes me a bit scared that regular security updates and security practices may not be something that you were thinking about when the app was being developed.

I'm going to signup and play with it regardless, but it would be really difficult to put my actual financial data in the app.

Question: Is security of user data something you have thought of? Do you plan to hire someone that is security minded if the app does well?
But the complaint is being misread. In "require running nonfree Javascript code" Stallman isn't saying "require running Javascript code, which we all know is inherently nonfree". He's saying "require running particular Javascript code which in this instance is nonfree." A web client that uses free (as in speech, not as in bird) Javascript code is presumably fine.
Uh, fascists and communist are polar opposites, but authoritarianism has nothing to do with communism by definition. If Stalin implemented an authoritarian regime while using the term "communism", that does not make communism a regime based on authoritarianism. It's nice to remember North Korea consider themselves a "People's Republic" but I'm sure you do not believe it is a democracy just because of a name or official designation; likewise, late stage western capitalism consider themselves "Representative Democracies", but a solid argument could be made comparing those nations with nazifascist states of the 1930s. Things are not so simple and simplifying such complex topics is what leads to populist governments rising. I believe we should not dumb things down. Instead, we should believe people are capable of critical thinking and we must help them see the whole picture for themselves instead of spreading McCarthist stories about the communist boogeyman.
