The article mentions that Uber hope to replace public transit miles, and recognize it as profitable to do so. There's a link to a Times article that elaborates on this claim. It is true that Uber on occasion enter into sort of last-mile "partnerships" with transit agencies, but we should all recognize how such a strategy can be a wedge for privatization-a sort of public service embrace-extend-extinguish.

There is no conspiracy or collusion with the Kochs alleged in this article. One tidy aspect of Marxist politics (Jacobin is a socialist magazine) is that it recognizes that wealthy people's actions aren't arranged through some grand and unlikely conspiracy, but rather by a shared material interest that causes them to tend to desire and work toward similar things. Thus the note that, though Uber and the Kochs have many superficial aesthetic differences, including preference of political party, they appear to often work toward the same political ends anyway.
The grain can influence flavor a lot, but that's more from how the grain was processed than where it was grown. I don't think I could tell American 2-row pale malt from British 2-row pale malt or Belgian pilsner malt, but they'll both be pretty different from Vienna malt, which is kilned darker. Small additions of "specialty" malts like roasted barley or various caramelized malts can also shift flavor quite a bit.
Have you personally tried it? It's great!
Much of the architecture of this style is lost because at its peak, it was used for diners, roadside motels, and the like. When the land got too valuable, those sorts of businesses would just get plowed under.
They got to somehow justify the need for better hardware I guess... And it appears that the trend is to make everything more and more bloated. Take browsers for example, we used to browse the web just fine on devices that were as powerful as raspberry pi 2 for example, but nowadays we can barely launch a browser on such devices, let alone use it for real.

The company continues to heavily subsidize per-ride costs to inflate its value to investors and undercut existing options, despite bleeding billions of dollars. “Uber is effectively a middleman for a money transfer from venture-capital (VC) firms to consumers,” writes James P. Sutton in National Review. Simply put, effectively supplanting the taxi industry wasn’t enough: Uber plans on undercutting public transit to finally turn a profit.

If Uber can undercut public transit, I'll be impressed. Fares tend to cover 30-40% of operational costs of public transit, and if you include capital costs, it will be even less. With the amounts of subsidies public transit gets from the taxpayer, even the venture capitalists can hardly compete.
The architecturally significant part of the TWA terminal is now a hotel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWA_Hotel.

As Wikipedia says, it "straddles" various styles including Googie. I don't think a pure Googie building could be so prestigious. The typical Googie structure is low tech and relatively low cost, "flashy and vernacular" as Wikipedia says. Once you start dealing with an architect like Saarinen (TWA) or Pereira (Theme Building) there is something a bit more sophisticated and expensive going on. Those prestigious buildings don't really epitomize the style, even if we consider them to express some aspects of it in retrospect. Googie has more to do with diners, jukebokes and the fins on a car than with "serious" architecture.

The Changi building really couldn't have been built in the 60s. It's one of those load-bearing triangulated structures with a large number of glazing components of different dimensions. It is much simpler, without CAD, to make a smooth reinforced concrete dome/cantilever like the TWA building, or an arch like the Theme Building. Triangulated high-tech building skins like the one on the Gherkin in London (and Changi) are extremely expensive because of the complexity and the need to custom manufacture each component. There is a fetishization of that complexity (it's the main driver of it) in contrast to the more sculptural preoccupations that are evident in the TWA terminal. Saarinen was moulding concrete (not really a Googie concept) and Safdie is blowing bubbles of super high-tech geometry...
damn, C.F.S is pretty messed up. The weirdest thing is how it seems to happen so suddenly.

True story: I didn't bring my calculator with me when I went to take the SAT Math subject test. Oops. However, I was already sitting there, and had already paid, and they told me I could take any SAT II test I wanted, so I randomly took the Biology test and got 760 out of 800 on it. Not surprising, you say? But the thing is, I had never taken a day of biology.

The point is, good test design is actually hard.

Paul Nation's "Vocabulary Size Test" has a good approach to the challenge of determining how many words someone knows. Even with this relatively simple-to-state metric, there's a good bit of subtlety in getting a defensible result.

> I can't wait for RCS messaging. I'm honestly wondering it Apple will support it, or try to segment the text messaging market even more.

I mean, RCS is practically dead (at least in the USA). But even if it does come it'll basically replace SMS with something slightly better. I don't see how it addresses the iMessage stuff. iMessage will likely still send much higher quality images and videos and RCS, AFAIK, can't do some the same features like showing who's typing.

RCS is cool but I don't think it's going to be a game changer in any way. I think it'll just be an incremental update, if it even comes to the USA.
One possible reason is that, for technical questions at least, only the original poster can tell if a particular answer solved their problem.

The user can ask, "How do I do X?" and the the community may settle on, "don't do X", or, "Why would anyone ever want to do X?", but those don't answer the question. Maybe the user has a good reason, maybe not, but they aren't the answer.

Like all ranking systems, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
I wish they made something like that in an iPhone SE size. Every phone is just so huge these days.
But that's not recursion, which pretty much by definition implies the use of repeated invocations of the same function(s). Explicitly building a stack is exactly what the article was discussing, though it's far more clever than the obvious approach. I've seen AVL implementations that use an explicit array for maintaining a stack in lieu of recursion or parent pointers.

In any event, you always need a stack of some sort. Recursion is one way to accomplish that, but saying that you're simulating recursion by explicitly building a stack reverses the categories.

I would want more key rollover. I like the Model F keyboard, with full n-key rollover; just, it doesn't have lights. Also, I would like to have a Fn key which can be used to send arbitrary scancodes and possibly other options (such as key repeat). If a key with Windows logo is added, I think that it should be changed so that it has text (perhaps "Super") instead of a logo.

The photos are so well done! I bet it took a lot of pictures to end up with such a good safe-for-work set including some action photos.
Fair enough; I certainly wouldn't purposefully hurt anyone (at least not nowadays), and I don't know that I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to Ponzi, but I have certainly done things that have hurt people transitively, or done things that are somewhat self-serving that I convince myself are good for the other person.

I'd like to think I haven't really done anything like that since I was a teenager, but as you said, cognitive dissonance is amazing. It's entirely possible that I do things all the time that are horrible.
GNU C extensions are well outside the scope of standard C (or C++).
Firefox gained the marketshare it did because power users relentlessly evangelized it to non-power users.

There was some of the same phenomenon with Google, but the real difference is that Google pushed Chrome very strongly on the biggest web properties in the world, had it packaged in some other software installers, and advertised it. That's why Chrome has the market-share it does today.

Mozilla appears to now be courting the ordinary user market without having either the passion of power users driving it, or the world's biggest web properties shilling it.

To this day, visiting google.com (#1 website) in my default browser pops up a large notification informing me I need to switch to Chrome to 'hide annoying ads and protect against malware on the web.' Visting YouTube.com (#2 website) pops up a slightly less annoying notification on the bottom that says "Google recommends using Chrome, a fast and secure browser."

I haven't been able to figure out for years now how they think this is going to work. Ordinary users are going to do what their IT administrator/IT friend says, use the OS default, or use products recommended by massive marketing campaigns.

This is pretty misleading. Animal fat has a very small amount of trans fat. The main source of trans fat is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which was invented to be a cheap, "healthy" alternative to lard and tallow.

Open source won't pay your mortgage or buy you that yacht. It won't get you a job. It isn't going to help your resume potentially.

And if you're doing it for any of those reasons, then stop doing it because you're missing the point.

Do it because you care about what you're building. Do it because you want to share your solution with the world. Do it because you want to contribute.
Why not mention the startup name instead of saying China, which just makes it sound like if the Chinese government is behind it ? Do Chineses newspapers say US phone instead of iPhone ?

Can you put the ad into a iframe?
Yes, all the time.

Off the top of my head, I've run into:

- C++ does not support 'foo([static N])' function declarations

- C++ does not support 'struct A a = { .b = c, ... }' initializers

The conflict arises when these are used in C headers, and then C++ programs attempt to include them.
Not that I've worked in a lot of places, but everywhere that I've worked that uses C at all treats it this way. Writing new C code is considered a no-no.
"terrified of those crazy conservatives" - people who want to deny me my rights as a human being, including the right to life.

Road diets arguably make the road nicer to be on.

Blocking exits only fixes things through second order effects. The direct effect is negative. If we could stop through traffic via other means, we wouldn't want to block exits, but we would still want bike lanes and speed limits and road diets in residential areas.
When I was in elementary school I was regularly getting on the school bus by myself long after my parents left for work (at that time my mother wasn't a teacher). It worked fine for me and for plenty of other families.

Parental attitudes changed more than anything else. Coddle kids longer, trust them less. That seems to be the current trend.
The idea of brutalism is at least partly to avoid artifice and emphasize materials and function over ornament.

Of course, applying it to anything that's not actually architecture is analogizing.
Back in the early days of BYTE magazine, early microcomputers, etc. I seem to recall that Steve Jobs coined the term "Personal Computer". Apple didn't market it to death. But at that time the way these computers were described was as "micro" or "home" computers. Or even "home brew", because before the "holy trinity" (Apple II, TRS-80 and Commodore PET), no two computers' hardware was the same. A real hinderance to mass software distribution.

IBM named its computer the PC, thus co-opting the term and forever being associated with it. But you have to remember back further.

At this point, if they go the trouble to relicense Linux, it might be better to go with BSD or Apache over GPL. Linux already supports closed source drivers (see NVidia). In addition, most of the companies that contribute to Linux, do it because they see the benefits of features being upstream, not because they are forced to.

You're asking for something impossible.

Lock manufacturers can't advertise that their locks are hardened against specific yet-to-be-discovered attacks.

Intel can't advertise that their CPUs are hardened against specific yet-to-be-discovered attacks.

They can only provide mitigations after the fact.
I think you need to consider the followings

- There is nothing wrong with Proprietary software. MongoDB is vilified because they built community on the assumption what this software will be Open Source. Because of this many spend a lot of their own time helping to promote MongoDB and one day MongoDB changed their license. Amazon's DocumentDB makes no Open Source promises

- Your competitors can copy your software is one of the downsides of having your software Open Source. You however may get much better adoption curve in return.

- This is not MongoDB boycott. If repository promises to its users it will only contain Open Source software and MongoDB is not any more it naturally has to be removed. Keeping it will mean breaking promise to repository users

- MongoDB can't compete with AWS is quite far fetched statement. Competing with AWS could possibly slowed MongoDB growth of course.

> In issues like Hong Kong, it's quite rare to see any mainland Chinese supporting rioters in HK, no matter where they live.

It's clear that Taiwan supports the HK protesters, so I'm wondering what the other regions are really thinking, like Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, etc. Not what they are publicly saying, but what they are thinking privately. To be clear, I have no idea, that's why I'm asking.
