not sure I'm understanding? But fax sends data via a protocol, it knows it has sent by virtue of the protocol completing. The fax can keep trying sending and it will keep track of those faxs that have gone through vs those that haven't. Email doesn't have delivery receipts....it's either done by bolting it on in clients or various hacks used by spamme....errr..email marketing systems.
Yep! Just to clarify, this is entirely hypothetical! I want to know the value-add people would put on such a database if it were to exist.

There's little insight from what I've seen in the database market as to what people really want the most out of a database, or what makes a database "appealing" to people apart from its reputation from being time-tested.
It's not the hyperbole that I find a bit old and tiresome, it's the hubris and often utopian vision I come across from people in tech in statements like this. As though there are no possible downsides.

> Prasad’s ultimate vision is to make Alexa available and useful for everyone. Even in developing countries, he imagines cheaper versions that people can access on their smartphones. “To me we are on a journey of shifting the cognitive load on routine tasks,” he says. “I want Alexa to be a productivity enhancer … to be truly ubiquitous so that it works for everyone.”

1800 employees and yet not a single reason to own the product. Sad to look back and realize that the huge investment that got at least me excited was in retrospect probably just a hedge bet on AR blowing up.
Just go play on a server. Vannessa's servers or Pandorabox...
Lol, I thought the same, here I am bootstrapping - the things I could do with 1 percent or even 0.1 percent of that money.
If no fines, what prevents the people from taking the books and not return them again? Wanting to borrow new books? Ah, fair enough. (Just putting this out loud for people which didn't reach this conclusion yet, it took me a while.)

PS: Maybe the real way to fix this is paying a deposit upfront when becoming a member of the library, which is not high price, just the cost of an average book. You'd get this deposit when you decide to stop being a member.
I'm having a bit of trouble determining if that was a reply to my comment.

My only point was that if things are optional to pay for, lots of people will take the thing, and not pay. That's why the grocery store hires cashiers, rather than being on the honor system.
An american anime geek does not have more in common with a japanese anime geek than an american evangelical. Race, nation, language, history, etc are far more potent than what naive utopian people wish it were.

Communists used to think like you. They felt that a german factory worker had more in common with a french or russian or chinese factory worker and that introducing communist ideas would let awaken them to this "fact" and they wouldn't join the army to kill each other. WW1 and WW2 proved that german, french, russian, chinese, etc factories were more than willing to kill each other by the millions.

> The geek thinks, ‘Meh: here, Canada, London, Japan, Singapore—as long as FedEx can reach me and there’s a good Internet connection, what’s the difference?’ (Nor are the technically-inclined alone in this.8)

I guess the "geek" hasn't tried to getting visas or immigrating to those places.

Also, you have to realize that all it takes in just one nationalist movement to spur nationalism almost everywhere. Nationalism has that kind of virtuous cycle.

Look at the current US-China trade war. It not only increases nationalism in the US, it also increases in China.
Can someone explain to me how we go from assistant that maybe tells me news in the morning and lets me know if the traffic is bad on my commute to omnipresence?

I mean sure Alexa skills are just Amazon letting other people figure out how to design the interface for interacting with Alexa until they lock that down. It also allows for wonderful ads for local news letting you know they have programmed an Alexa skill.

This is article is just description that as with every other large digital assistant team, it is much easier for them to learn how to design the user experience of the digital assistant by seeing what people do with it rather than designing literally anything.

I also tend to think that it is now becoming clear that the hard part of making a digital assistant is designed the user interface and interactions and not the AI part of it, not to discount the vast amount of work done by all of these companies.
Presuming you still can't borrow a new book if you have overdue books at home, and you still have to pay for lost books, this seems reasonable. It reminds me of the old-school netflix DVD rental system where you can keep a movie as long as you want, but can't get a new one until you return the previous one. It also reminds me of being able to take out books for 3-5 months at a time as a grad student--it was so much nicer than undergrad!
Did they? I googled "buy magic leap" and all I can find are dev units ("Creator Edition"). That's not a consumer product. That's a pre-requisite for a consumer product. Magic Leap have never released a product for general sale.
I feel like this comment is throwing semantics in a blender and pouring it out into the shape you want... but I guess that's the thing about arguing semantics, it usually devolves to that...

You probably don't need simulation. Just the inlet dimensions and the freestream air properties will tell you when the engine should unstart.
I don't know what their source is, but I remember reading about it in one of Charles de Gaulle's book.
Makes sense. Send a reminder instead of a fine notice.

"Return our book and it will cost you $X. Keep it forever and it will cost you nothing". That's a poor mechanic.
> > Sprinkling printf is an efficient way to debug.

I have found printf to subtly alter timing in threaded programs. Either masking issues or introducing them.

Anecdotally, I remember some programs being reported as working only with a printf present and bombing when removed.

Sorry - my question was ambiguous. That's the part that I don't understand.
This doesn’t seem logical. Women are responsible for a large chuck of house hold spending... why would a company such as Goldman Sachs want to limit their ability to spend? The less they spend, the less data they can gather on their spending habits.
This is maddeningly common, even these days.

Unfortunately, many mono-lingual people don't realise that language does not map perfectly from one word/phrase to another.

When I used to translate people in the office would come up and ask me "What's xxxxx in English?". I would reply "Well, what situation is this?". More often than not they would switch off at this point.

People tend to behave differently with libraries than typical economics might suggest. People view the library as a shared resource, something the community owns together. The resistance to returning the borrowed items more often comes from embarrassment or shame than it does entitlement or attempted theft.
Even if the answer is zero that doesn't prove what you're hoping it would because as has been discussed, in reality those retired cops still have their weapons and criminals are aware of that.
Because there's way more to Uber than an app.

There's so many facets I don't know where to start

- Background Checks

- Payment Infrastructure

- Insurance, and not some off-the-shelf insurance, complicated messy layers insurance

- UX

- Expensive marketing and subsidies (which is what creates trust in brand so we all feel comfortable hopping into cars with strangers)

- Local laws (even if they break a lot of them, they do still follow some)

There's an open source Uber-like platform: https://libretaxi.org/

But making an Uber app is easy, making an Uber platform is expensive.
Do CS students learn React?
Point: everyone does have that right, it is just unconstitutionally abridged.
Maybe this is just my innate pedantry talking, but I think the opposite pathology is common too: some people are great at writing convincing but illogical/weakly-supported arguments that only fail when broken down and looked at in a granular, nitpicky way. Strong norms against that sort of response might make discussion threads less annoying on average, but they are also a boon to sophists, charismatic charlatans and sincere but overconfident bullshitters.
Can someone explain what "pairing, comprehensive user stories, and tests" are? Are these actual terms or is the author just talking about teammates getting together to work on an issue?
I think it's more of a "security by obscurity" thing than anything, but if the number is really unknown except for you and the 2fa provider, that would probably be "good enough".
I still don't find voice activation to be very good in the cases I've used it. The problem of transcribing what you're saying seems to be solved pretty well, but (at least in the applications I've used it in - which is just navigation via google maps on my phone) there still seems to be an inherent problem of discoverability.

It took me a fair bit of trial and error to work out the exact magic words to say to get google maps to launch navigation to a given address by car without requiring me to use the touch screen at all.

My natural inclination was to say "Hey Google, give me directions to 123 fake street" but this would bring up a route (or if you're especially unlucky a list of different places for you to choose from) but require you to press a "start" button with your finger, and often also require you to switch the navigation type from bus/walk/cycle to car manually too.

"Give me directions to 123 fake street by car" would skip the navigation type selection, but still require you to manually press a "start" button (various variations of "ok google, begin" or "ok google, start" etc didn't seem to do anything")

After a long period (months) of having to press a tiny button manually while driving to start navigation I finally discovered that if you say "Navigate to" rather than "Give me directions to" it would skip past the start button screen and jump straight to giving you directions.

So now it works great, but I hope I don't have to go through tedious trial and error with everything voice activated to work out the exact phrasing it wants.
I've been playing rugby for 12 years, but I only got one concussion, when my teammate clipped my jaw during a passing drill, spinning my head around. Instant vertigo, fell down, and knew right away it was a concussion.

I felt euphoric. It was wonderful.

For the next 5 weeks, whenever I started warming up for practice (playing touch rugby), I'd get splitting headaches and have to stop. But after 5 weeks there were no headaches, so I resumed practice.

The other two concussions I had were from hide-and-seek when I was ten, a head-on collision in a pitch-black room (I saw stars), and another when I was skiing off trail when I was 23 and knocked my head against a tree (I saw double for 30 seconds).
> dynamic populations that interact with each other

It feels like every open-world game dreams of this, and backs up on it. The problem is you need so many things to go right for it to work and be fun.

* It needs to be resilient to player shenanigans
* It needs to respond to player actions
* It needs to be coherent and connect to the actual gameplay
* It needs to reward player interaction while not breaking the economy

That's a pretty tall order when most MMOs struggle to even motivate the existence of simple NPC vendors.
Short-term rental shares much more (99%) in common with hotels than long-term renting. The benefits you get from a short-term place only exist because the externalities are paid by other renters in the building, the police, the government, etc. It's a sham.
There are at least three propositions in your comment:

- Efficiency is implicitly good.

- Material rewards can/should be allocated according to some measure of individual merit and competence.

- Meritocracy and nepotism are distinct.

I tend to agree, but these statements are at least controversial (if not obviously wrong) within the political consciousness that does labor organizing these days. Read Jacobin sometime, you'll see vehement opposition. Internalizing the violent logic of capitalism, etc.

What is that platform? Are you considering Go a platform, or something that was built with it (like Docker)?

And what are the frameworks you consider to be the most advanced in decades?
Not a line printer; those are very (very) different than a dot matrix printer, and it's an interesting use of a dot matrix printer, anyway.
I agree that a wiki will never be truly up to date, however I do think it's possible to build in mechanisms that tell people what is and isn't up to date. For example if a code snippet you include in your document changes (i.e. it's updated in GitHub) then the document should be either marked as outdated or in need of review.

As for discoverability you are right, it's definitely hard. My idea here is to allow people to create teams on the fly. You then have a feed that your team members and manager can push content to and manage.

Oh the numbers didn't mean anything, I was just trying to make it easier to read. Will see if I can reword it to make it clearer :)

As for them not being a problem with wikis, I think they are if you look at the wiki as not just being a collection of documents but as being a living breathing knowledge base. Interaction and collaboration are important to encourage if you want people to feel like their documents are actually being used. Even a simple clap button like Medium has would go a long way in this department. Insights into how your document is used would help show you how to refine the document, and also feeds into your work being valued. Plus it might really help managers gain a better understanding of the knowledge gaps that exist. Documentation becoming outdated is a reality that I feel most tools out there ignore, but addressing it is really important in having people trust what they read (I know my trust in my teams documents dropped off pretty rapidly after I kept finding them to be outdated). The last point was more of a thought I had two hours ago haha, and again really ties into having a living breathing knowledge base people can trust and want to use.

Wages:
Max = $526,553
Mean = $111,095
Median = $106,749
P75 = $137,051
P90 = $173,958

That's not why cashiers are there.

The cashier is there for when you decide to pay for your goods.

If you try and walk out with them, the cashier will not stop you. For legal reasons, even the security probably won't touch you.

The reason most people who don't steal isn't the punishment, it's because they don't want to steal.

Likewise, removing the fine doesn't make a late book not late.

People do not have some inherent want to break social conventions like stealing or overstaying your lease on something.

Good point I was talking about OECD countries, basically.

China has a different problem, though related. Of course unions are illegal there ("not needed -- the communist party represents the workers"). But they have a large pool of uneducated very low cost labor they are trying to keep out of the cities (e.g. via Hukou system), trouble with controls on things like "shrinkage" (containers help a lot here) and yes, relatively high wages for the workers who are in the port cities (working in factories and white collar jobs).
Many parents know one of the good parenting rules is that incentivizing good behaviors works better than punishment for bad behaviors. This is another case where it applies to human behavior beyond children.
Thanks! I completely agree with you, will edit to make that more clear
I interpret that as:

Pairing - Pair programming, which if one of the developers has experience with the product will solve questions that you otherwise will solve with docs.

Comprehensive User Stories - User story like in Agile/Scrum, where it has an acceptance criteria, goals, description, etc. and can be used to track back documentation of features.

Tests - User test cases, which can be a replacement of the documentation of how to use the product or the intent of the features.
> I'm not clear on how #1 is related to the SIM swapping problem.

If controlling a phone number was not how platforms authenticated users, the impact of SIM swapping would end in someone else being able to run up a cell phone bill.

I’m practice, authentication of web platforms is based on the authentication and security protocols of the weakest cell phone provider (because cell phone numbers can be transferred from provider to another provider).

We have no comprehensive authentication system, so our security is held hostage to the weakest link in a chain of (email provider, cell provider, platform OAuth provider, commodity web system)
The actual counts generally back this up.

It's kinda hard to find, but Tucson's homelessness was 72% caucasian, 19% native american.

I don't think there is any interagency that is putting these numbers in one place yet... that's probably desperately needed for this country to start tackling the problem.

There may actually be a reason why white people are specifically affected- and it is probably related to family processes.

Classify Rotten Tomato Reviews with Apple's Natural Language Framework
I personally learned quite a bit in a similar situation.

In an operating systems class we had a little project to create a command line calculator in C, with the added hoop of using x86 ASM for all control flow and calculations. As this was not a programming class we had a very brief overview of the very basics needed to get this done. I assumed using floating point arithmetic would make this easier, but knew that was not part of the early spec, so I asked the professor in class what version of x86 and he said pentium 1.

I then found and read intel’s documentation for the first generation Pentium. Which completely changed my mental model of CPU’s. Honestly, it was probably the closest collage assignment to how real world coding works and much more useful long term than just implementing some simple algorithms by hand.
I don't know the answer, but a sibling post confirmed by suspicion: It allows you to run games in a container without having to set it up yourself. If you want to run Windows games using Steam on Linux, you have to have a bunch of libraries available which you will almost certainly not use in your normal day to day activities. Having the software in a container means that all those libraries are bundled into the game distribution and you don't need to maintain them yourself.
That's underselling the difficulty of being a business/data analyst. You not only have to express yourself clearly, but are constrained by the knowledge and mental models used by your target audience. Which becomes exponentially more difficult if you have multiple audiences you have to convey a point to, simultaneously.
Make them 'bookable' for any content on offer through Netflix at whatever cost Netflix feels is appropriate for the content / length. Person who pays for booking out the Netflix cinema then advertises and sells tickets through the "Netflix Cinema" ticket sales interface, Netflix gets a percentage and the rest goes to the organiser.

I've been considering doing something like this as an excuse to catch up with friends over a movie, but make it a bit more slick than your regular get-together. Too busy to put much thought into it, yet another to-do on the post-retirement list.
A union of drivers could easily do all that.
For most people there is no penalty besides after a long period of time of and money spent by your landlord, eventually you'll get forcibly evicted, and they might even pay you to do leave before then.

People squat on apartments all the time. Some people go from home to home never paying rent, and never see a real punishment for it.

But it's unethical, and against social norms.

Just like keeping books forever (stealing) just because there's no late fee.
