Hi, this is Dylan, another co-founder and engineer. I'm sorry we dropped the ball here. As you can imagine, it's tough to respond to every request and we've been a bit busy since launch, but I apologize we didn't get to yours.

All of us were early employees of BrightRoll [1], an advertising marketplace that handled 10 million requests / second at peak. We've scaled large systems in the past and we've built this system with scale in mind.

Believe it or not, most workflows are extremely low volume. That, in part with the design of the system, allows us to offer the generous free tier.

We're planning to introduce paid tiers soon. You can see my comment on the parent thread that addresses some of the general questions around pricing asked by others in the thread.

This was a very early release of the platform and we hoped offering the product for free would encourage experimentation. To a great degree, we've seen that, so we think it was the right choice.

That was an allegation in the Steele dossier. What Nunes had alleged in the “Nunes Memo” was that the FBI mischaracterized the provenance of the Steele dossier in their FISA application to surveil Carter Page. At the time, the FISA application was classified and no one could see it.

When it was declassified, it turned out that Nunes was lying. See https://vault.fbi.gov/d1-release/d1-release/view footnote at the bottom of page 15, top of page 16. Steele is source #1.
This is a buddhistic "everything is connected" legal interpretation.
Hmm, I actually feel like you're right here. I could see them letting it go through Chapter 11.

Out of curiosity, do you think they wouldn't let it even get that far to make sure they stay competitive vs Airbus?

>How do you fail to implement the second method override on a single-method interface?

Well in the example given, there is an interface Client with two methods. If a maintainer controls the Client interface and the HTTPClient implementation, the case can occur where that maintainer updates Client and HttpeClient. Suddenly, CachedHTTPClient in the downstream project has an unchached method and as far as my limited Go knowledge goes, no compiler error.

>I'm talking about what happens in real Go code

The case appears in the blog post. Would you say the blog is not idiomatic Go?
Less crude than banning SUVs would be requiring vehicles to pass pedestrian safety standards in addition to vehicle occupant safety standards in a crash.

IIRC in the US we only really test safety for people inside the car, not outside.
According to the article, the most interesting feature compared to Jupyter is no hidden state - if you delete a cell, the variables it set are gone. Also, you can mix languages - you'll be able to access variables filled by prevously executed cells in another language.

Personally, I'm looking forward to trying out the SQL support. I haven't seen an elegant solution for SQL notebooks in Jupyter, it was always second-class via Python or some such. Or have I missed something?
You mean like the 757?
I suspect it's a flaw in how humans (of certain political persuasions) rationalize "how we got here". They think "Well, the old place was OK except for this very small bit that pushed me over the edge into 'move elsewhere' territory. Now this new place is OK, but if we just enacted this little bit of legislation to be more like the place I just came from...." That in and of itself would be fine if it was extremely limited. However, when it's tens of thousands of people, and they all have different ideas of what "this little bit" that needs to change is, it's a recipe for the behavior we see now.

Incidentally, this pattern is where a lot of conservative commentators are coming from when they say "liberalism is a disease". Non-liberals don't tend to exhibit this behavior - they move to an area, hunker down, shut up, and try to integrate.
Could you link to that post, please? I googled, but didn't find it.

Only if there was a "significant temporal nexus" between the search and border crossing.

From the Congressional Research Service: (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/homesec/RL31826.pdf, page 8)

> Under the “extended border search” doctrine, government officials may conduct a warrantless search beyond the border or its functional equivalent if (1) the government officials have a reasonable certainty that a border was crossed or there exists a “high degree of probability” that a border was crossed; (2) they also have reasonable certainty that no change in the object of the search has occurred between the time of the border crossing and the search; and (3) they have “reasonable suspicion” that criminal activity was occurring.

In online reporting, there is often significant confusion between the "Extended Border Area" (ie. the 100 mile zone) and the "Functional Equivalent of the Border" (ie. an airport customs zone).
The name actually still kind of makes sense to me. I know that CPU is an apt name for the main processor, but to a regular user that has no idea what's inside the box and only has an understanding of the different components they connect together (monitor, keyboard, etc.) CPU is also an apt name for the whole box. After all, it is the "central processing unit" of the whole computer (counting the monitor, etc.). "Case" refers only to the box itself and not all the inside components; "system unit" is too vague; "computer" means the whole thing including the monitor, keyboard, and mouse; "tower" also isn't apt because, at least in the 90s, it was also common to lay it below the monitor.

Tell me, if you have the box disassembled with the hard drive and motherboard outside and the monitor and keyboard nearby, what word would you use to describe the whole device that's the case and its inside components? Imagine you want to ask someone to move it to another table, just the case, hard drives, motherboard, etc. but not the monitor and keyboard. How would you fill in "Could you move the ____ to that table?" I think some around me would say CPU.

EDIT: Here, check this out, it's a Radio Shack catalogue from 1989:

https://archive.org/details/tandy-computer-catalog-1989/page...

At the bottom left corner of page 42 (page as seen in the image), it says they're selling a "universal computer floor stand". In the description it says, "holds CPU in vertical position". To the right of that, they're selling a "CPU security system" that's basically mounting plates and cord to attach the computer to the desk to prevent it from being stolen.
I saw someone run a red by a local university (probably because they were looking at their lap), and only about half of the people in the intersection appeared to take notice. The rest were looking down at their hands... while starting to cross the street. Fortunatly it was only a few seconds after the light changed.
McAllister was just replaced.

The bad news is he was replaced with Stan Deal, a sales executive.

The good news is he's not just a sales guy, he's held a number of jobs. He also has a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. So there's some hope.

There are nukes in Pakistan, India, Israel, Russia, other former Soviet countries, China, and US, all under increasingly fascistic rule. The orange baboon has publicly entertained using them just for dramatic effect. What do you imagine will restrain them as tensions resulting from mass migration, collapsing harvests, and desertification continue to grow?
While I love what Tesla is doing, I also think their external design is their least appealing part.

I think there are many fine examples of great car designs. Recently, I can think of Mini, Fiat 500, Alfa 147, Alfa MiTo, Golf Mk I & II, Lamborghini Gallardo, BMW 3 series E21-E46...
If you are struggling with being overly invested in your day job I suggest you go contracting. Get payed a day rate for a fixed number of hours a day, either work a day or don't no inbetween. Bill for the number of days you did at the end of the month (or week). Sick days and holidays cost you hundreds of dollars per day. You will learn to value your time (even if it costs a small amount of your soul). As an added bonus you will have money and a business in place already.
Self driving rideshare is several decades away at the very least, and no one has demonstrated how to get from A to B in an economically viable way. (Uber and Lyft surviving on the good graces of VCs while hemorrhaging money is not economically viable.)

Probably more realistic is when existing transport paradigms like the bus adopt self-driving vehicles.
When in doubt assume honesty. The US has had a rash of accusations of "Fake News" recently and we all need to work together to actively reject that narrative before we're all asking each other "what the definition of is is".
It can be done with any byte. In CRC, you encode your input to a polynomial somehow, take an agreed-upon polynomial (dependent on the type of CRC, not the input data) - call it P. Compute the remainder of the input when divided by P, encode it, and that's CRC. So to get any desired CRC, you just need to solve a linear equation (in quite a lot variables, but it doesn't really matter). All in all, it's really easy.
This is not ideal (model 3 handles seem like they can be manually operated from outside). But also not a big deal - if a normal handled car was locked, it also doesn't open from the outside. And a policeman doesn't have a way to break a window? Or often cars in wrecks have their doors jam shut from the impact too, that's why firemen carry jaws-of-life tools too.
As one of only two real airplane manufacturing companies (the other being AirBus), I don't see how getting rid of Boeing would help consumers. If anything, AirBus would have latitude to let its own quality control slip, but now their planes would comprise 100% of fleets instead of 50%.

That one suffered from insufficient members of congress. It needed to be more like the Space Shuttle or F-35. Better locations:

1. It could have been in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.

2. It could have been in Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virgina.

3. With a slight size increase: Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and either Illinois or Arkansas

4. With a big size increase: all 5 of Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Arkansas

5. With a big size increase: Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma

6. With a big size increase: Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma

> Shareholders

If you own an S&P 500 fund like SPY, you are a shareholder. A lot of folks have BA in their retirement accounts. Litigating against shareholders in a case like this would serve no purpose that I can see.
Both could be correct. Here I think "day" could make more sense. An example of the other case: "Back in the days of Fortran programming..."

If you leave out anything after "days" by just saying "back in the days" then it is like you are pausing. As in when you reminisce, "Oh, back in the days!" Maybe that is what the intention was.

In any case, the commentor was actually just saying that he thinks nothing has changed.

You're splitting hairs. The employees, assets, and their organization are the only part of the company that performs a useful social function. The shareholders, the board, and to a lesser extent the upper management are parasites that can be dispensed with and literally no one else will care.

Their vehicles are beautiful

Their vehicles are so bland-looking that a buddy of mine stated a few years ago that he'd never seen a Tesla. Even a few years ago, if you worked at Microsoft like he does, I guarantee you parked next to one some time this week, and saw at least one on your way to or from work today. To quote another MSFT friend: "buying a Tesla is like a rite of passage around here."

I'll bet he remembers the singular time he saw that Ferrari 458 that parks in building 32, though.

Personally, Ford Taurus, Tesla 3/S, same difference: nothing wrong with it, nothing memorable.
Uh... what?

The "man children" part seems unreasonably ad-hominem. There's nothing petty about caring about political speech. There's nothing wrong with caring just a little, enough to express disgust (better than saying nothing).

I also am not convinced that cosplaying as a protest character isn't a reasonable form of protest. Remember it was merely a tweet from an NBA account that set off outrage in the past.
I understand your frustration with recruiters in general (those pesky bastards!), but do you really think using the word "impressive" is so bad?

Sometimes it's just the right word for the situation. Sure, they'd probably be better off whipping out the old Thesaurus, but ultimately this seems like a non-issue.

No. That's not how it works.

From the Apple Developers Documentation [1], "On initial launch of your app on a user’s device, the system automatically establishes an accredited, encrypted, and persistent IP connection between your app and APNs."

This persistent connection is, in fact, an XMPP session (likely, a modified one) [2].

Google's FCM too uses XMPP [3].

Ah but sockets are only an illusion that fall apart under the next tunnel. Mobiles are not constantly connected, they use a wireless packet-based network. The only way your mobile is registered as part of a network is because it is the one polling stations at regular intervals. Can't go the other way around, really. How could the network know you are now out of that tunnel?
You may want to have a look at how APN are implemented on iOS to see how a push is in fact a poll from device.
I don't know what exactly your belief is rooted on (clearly not physics), but of course you're free to put your money wherever you want, just be aware that:

- Qubits are not boolean. Classical error correction does not work in quantum computers. You need quantum error correction.

- The exponential improvements are in single qubit coherence times, and a stagnation in those improvements doesn't prevent an increase in the number of qubits. (it'd be nice to have, though, because then eventually we wouldn't even need error correction)

- No, it doesn't take 1000 or even 100 physical qubits to have a high fidelity qubit (it can actually be 1:1 with dynamical error correction) or 20000 error corrected qubits to tackle real world problems (Shor's algorithm isn't the only interesting thing out there, simulating some quantum systems requires far less qubits and probably more interesting for people in natural sciences)

- Even if we were 3-5 orders of magnitudes away in # of qubits, it's still a matter of time, and there is still nothing fundamental in physics or material science that prevents having millions of physical qubits.

- Now I feel like I'm dealing with one of those non-physicists people again who claim quantum computers are a pipe dream, only this time instead of a faulty physical argument, it has no real technical basis at all, so this is where I'd like to stop. Enjoy the rest of your day

Thanks, Rabid. I know I'm not being clear.

The goal is to present a magic software interface.

I want to say, "forget about apps. What do you want to do? How can I help you?" ...and be an interface to the people who can make these things happen, whether it's location-based services, "business logic", or integrations with other platforms.

I want to offer a service like Magic, for concierge, but include software development as one of those services. Lazily, on demand.

Presenting everything in threads, including graphical elements, is what I see enabling this wizard of oz approach to creating new software on demand.

It's also how I imagine eliminating the clutter of 'traditional' software. Instead of throwing a bunch of buttons, links, and menus at people and hoping they can navigate it... Slater just tells you what to do next, and never shows more than a small handful of choices at a time... and always gives you a way to ask for something different. And if it's something unexpected, it gets handled by a human, and that's how we learn what to build. If a human isn't available immediately, it will ask for permission to holler back later (push notifications, email, etc).

I don't think words do it justice. I just have to show it. FML.
It should never be a surprise to them.

Hi, I am a software engineer currently in London. Looking for new ideas to experiment new tools.
Haha, this is awesome! It does showcase a beautiful world, though! Imagine if you walk into a department store and they already know if you're the kind of person who likes to be greeted vs left alone to browse. Or using median commuter feeling to make commutes better. We could find unusual things. For instance, maybe people would like trains coloured brightly on average. Who knows! The positive possibilities are endless. We could engineer general contentment for all without drug usage.

EDIT: Since I'm rate limited, here's my response to below comment

People are always engineering your contentment. Stand-up comics, your wife, the people at your favourite coffee shop, the bookstore you visit. It's a good thing. It's the lubricant of society.
No, I mean the app itself.
> Non-liberals don't tend to exhibit this behavior - they move to an area, hunker down, shut up, and try to integrate.

I'm not sure what definition of “liberal” you are using, but there are so many obvious counterexamples that don't fit any of the plausoble ones that I can't see any way that that could be even a useful rule of thumb.

Missionaries tend not to be liberals, and indeed tend to be lionized by conservatives for doing exactly the opposite of “move to an area, hunker down, shut up, and try to integrate.” Conservatives don't object to liberals because liberals proselytize more than conservatives, they object to liberals because liberals disagree with conservatives.
> people who use it tend not to be very computer literate (since everyone nowadays who knows anything about computers reserves the term "CPU" for a specific integrated circuit inside that case, not the case itself.)

Indeed, that meaning is mostly used by people that know how to use a computer but have no idea what's in the box.

EDIT: I found a Radio Shack catalogue from 1989 that uses the term "CPU" to refer to the main unit with the chassis:

https://archive.org/details/tandy-computer-catalog-1989/page...

The bottom left of that page has a computer stand. In the description it says "holds CPU in vertical position". To the right of that, there's a "CPU Security System" that's a set of mounting plates to attach a computer to a desk to avoid theft.

Hello from Sequoia Capital!

Hey, bumping this up.
What if my personal experiences are attending klan or nazi rallies, protests against lgbt people, what if I live in a country where it's ok to domestically abuse my spouse and that's my experience? Maybe I live in a place where it's encouraged to round up and beat minorities or gay people. Not being threatening or harassing, where would personal experiences like that fall under?

I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but that's the point about the vagueness, it leads to ridiculous interpretations that will end up still being selectively moderated in the end. Clearly stating what is and is acceptable on a platform and following it consistently removes that ambiguity and doesn't leave it up to arbitrary feelings to decide.
