Probably, yeah. But the Golang team would never add such a feature because of their philosophy of keeping the language simple.
I have never built a company, but I've worked on a fair number of technical projects of varying sizes. The concept of an elevator pitch has helped me often in scoping projects, in communicating about projects, and in making sure I have a clear understanding of the project I'm working on.

The point of an elevator pitch is to be able to describe your project clearly in just a few sentences. I've never considered the point to be, for example, getting funding in 90 seconds. Rather, it's a litmus test: if you can't describe your project succinctly in 90 seconds, you've probably got some issues. Those issues could be

- lack of clarity around what your project actually does
- overemphasis on buzzwords
- having a project that doesn't do as much as you think it does
- inability to see your project from someone else's perspective

An elevator pitch should give your audience a clear understanding of what you're trying to build. It should give people listening or reading the chance to ask followup questions such as "How do you plant to build that?" or "How far have you gotten so far?"

Writing out a good elevator pitch is also a nice thing to have when building a landing page, or the home page for a project.
There is a wide range of what people think empathy is and how to express it in their actions. I think the problem with AI is that it allows people to hide behind it so they don’t have to take responsibility for the actions of the AI they designed and paid for.
> can afford the luxury of having someone else to do it for them.

Sure, but for my situation it works out that by cooking the majority of the time I'll be able to retire 1-2 years earlier.

Save $10 a day on food most days ~= $3000/year, over 20 years ~= $60k.

I also enjoy eating out more as it is more of 'treat' (and less of a chore to some extent).
This could become big in logistics. For example for order picking.

But also for maintenance crews. Want to know which machine broke down? The glasses will give you directions and will even give you an overview of the maintenance history.

I believe this is not a consumer product. Bosch has some consumer products but they are way bigger in the business market.

And about the laser: it's just light. A laser doesn't mean 'cut through everything'. It all depends on the power. I'm sure Bosch doesn't want to melt your retina.
Considering the "butterfly ballot" and the "hanging chad," what on earth made someone think an app was a good idea where people can't even figure out paper?

The process needs to be dumbed-down--kindergaten style. Give everone a jellybean to put in their candidate's jar, and if some dummy eats his jellybean instead of depositing it...

"We want to make sure Discord feels super snappy all the time" is hilarious coming from a program that is infamous for making you read 'quirky' loading lines while a basic chat application takes several seconds to start up.

Don't really know about Go versus Rust for this purpose, but don't really care because read states (like nearly everything that makes Discord less like IRC) is an anti-feature in any remotely busy server. Anything important enough that it shouldn't be missed can be pinned, and it encourages people to derail conversations by replying out of context to things posted hours or days ago.
Pretty amazing write up from Jesse. I really like how they maxed out Go first before even thinking about a rewrite in Rust. It turns out no-GC has pretty significant advantages in some cases.
Take a look at the "Relational Design Theory"[1] mini-course on Stanford/Lagunitas. Though I had used SQL for years, I took it as part of the early MOOC on databases that was offered in 2011. It is likely to match up with the intuition you already have about what works well in practice, but it can still be a challenge and rewarding to formalize your intuition and understanding.

The way the course is broken up now, you may need some of the other sections [2] like Intro to Relational Databases or Relational Algebra as prerequisites, since I do not remember if it used SQL syntax.

Or maybe the situation was treated with seriousness, hence the outcome...
There is no proof of either yet. What makes everyone think this is suspicious is there is proof of election meddling from overseas in the past. So there is proof elections can be modified and I doubt the IT skills groups like these to realize or adequately stop tampering. Without evidence everyone is assuming everything.
Going from 22 base-64 characters to 22 base-36 characters still only drops you to about 113 bits of entropy. Unless we're talking significantly more than a quadrillion images in the system, getting a collision on a 113-bit random ID is exceedingly unlikely.

I strongly suspect there were more problems in the system than just toLower(), or else the system was hosting significantly more than a quadrillion images. Your mention of "or just incrementing" sounds much closer to the mark.

There's no intuition that I've had that would involve not testing the app repeatedly, under load, not having a dry run, or not offering any training.

Wow I disagree with the tone of the article. They're comparing the operations of the Shadow company with the Trump company. That's a false equivalence - Trump as purchasing social media services. Shadow is literally inserting itself into the tally and facilitation of the voting process, and it's got links to Clinton.

That's not social media advertising, that really smacks of straight up voter fraud and abuse to me.

This is what happened to me on VAC. I was running some memory snooping tool for experimenting with an entirely unrelated process. It was simply minimized and I forgot it was running.

> If only it had a better climate... :)

Well, the climate in the populated parts of Canada parallels the northern United States, i.e. Chicago (9.5m in metro area) and Toronto (6.4m in metro area) have similar climate, as well as Vancouver and Seattle.

There are huge populations in these areas who are used to northern climate and have no trouble with it. I live in Chicago and really love the four seasons, prefer the cold to the heat and would never move to anywhere south of say North Carolina.

Climate preferences can vary quite a bit, I would say.
Not disagreeing, and honestly it's much faster to do in a pan.

Still, I also understand the appeal. More precise, less issues if something interrupts you, and perhaps the best benefit is batch cooking steaks. Especially when starting, using sous vide can help you focus on getting the sear right and not ruining your steak.

Plus, with thicker steaks, you often need better pan temp control or the use of an oven to help get it to cook evenly. And that's just an extra layer of hassle that takes time to master as well.

But I concede it can also be a crutch for a relatively easy cooking skill.
... which is crazy unrealistic, since it's "PII" that can only stay "private" by collective agreement of every node in the network, but no accounting for the reality of network architecture in passing law, I guess.

Maybe a deep expectation of anonymity while accessing a worldwide network of cooperative machines is something people should stop telling the public they should expect?
>Now this is interesting. If without that 13 bits of entropy, what will Google lost? Is it because of this 13 bits then Google suddenly able to track what they were not?

At the very least, having those 13 bits of entropy along with a /24 subnet allows you to have device-level granularity, whereas a /24 subnet may be shared by hundreds of households.
How would you test this type of thing at scale?

In parallel to chrissnell’s suggestion on classical music: read some classical literature. I mean the Greek and Roman greats. As with “classical” music, theres’s a valuable survivorship bias — nobody bothered to preserve the crap.

As with the music, there’s a lot to choose from (I put “classical” in quotes because in both cases the term spans centuries of work and innumerable styles and themes). And don’t worry about what other people like: enjoy what you do. Personally I don’t really listen to Mozart as he mostly wrote pop music and spectacle (were he alive today he’d be onstage with lady Gaga). Some fun to listen to but for me doesn’t “stick to the ribs”. Other’s think he’s fantastic — and we’re both right! (Do love his Requiem, though as my then 17yo said, “should come with a warning label”). In the case of the greats I love Plutarch, don’t care for Thucydides, think Plato is a jerk but do read him, Aristotle was kinda a jerk too, but so was Cicero. Sophocles: fantastic!

Speaking of survivorship bias I read little fiction by living authors. If it’s still in print, or discussed, after a gap it’s more likely to be interesting. As with music, open a book and if you don’t like it read something else! It’s not a duty. But there’s also a lot of meta commentary on the older work and that can change your view and taste for what you read.

Have fun!
Now that you know “trolling”, also be aware of “brigading”
DEFINITION - BRIGADING -
A concentrated effort by one online group to manipulate another. (e.g. by mass commenting) https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brigading [Sorry in advance for using urban dictionary]

Online brigading used to be a simple harmless and funny thing like influencing the name of a sea vessel to become "Boaty Mc Boatface".

The Internet currently consists of major social media sites now, It's very hard for us to tell when we are brigaded online, because we have very rudimentary insight into metrics for posts and articles we engage online. The moment you may say one simple negative thing about a company on social media, if it gets no views, or gets down-voted, that may well be a case of brigading. A lot of these social media sites, like Reddit have removed most of the indicators we previously had to tell us what was realm and now it's easy for one user to register multiple accounts, and a click farm to register thousands of accounts.

Now that companies have brought in new blood, they realize the power of brigading. It's covert, can be very subtle, and when combined with the learned expertise of click farms, it can generate lots of sales, remove legal hurdles, and even make painful lawsuits simply go away, among other uses. New companies, even new political candidates, hire and recruit groups to create brigades, we're talking about groups that suppress valid information about safety and public policy that we would normally be able to read online, they diminish our ability to see real and trustworthy feedback and stories, and they are now frequently used to drive deception in stock markets.

I'll keep this post short and follow up in comments, but there are several ways permitting online brigading by companies and political candidates can go very wrong for the world. If we remain largely unaware about it, and don't hold companies and individuals responsible for destructive brigading, you may never see a bad review of a company ever again.
I agree that hate speech is often the bad side of free speech. What I disagree on is who should decide what hate speech is.

Taking away the right for someone to speak their mind is too much power for one individual or group, and is ripe for abuse, so it's better to not do it at all.
> I don't trust, and never will trust, any company to hold on to my data without either selling it to a third party or accidentally leaking it.

This is a very black and white way of looking at trust. Trust is earned, it can be broken, it can be rebuilt. All human relationships are built upon trust, and it is fallible just like anything else. To have trust is to create vulnerability. However, just as you mention, that vulnerability comes with an upside.

What you are saying is: because there is vulnerability in trust, you should trust no one.
So hold up, is this just project management software being listed on the stock exchange? Or are they offering like a suite of tools like Atlassian?
I am a big Bernie Sanders supporter and am always eager to put on my tinfoil hat.

But I have to agree with you. The owner of Shadow's parent company has close ties to the Hillary campaign, a lot of the Shadow employees worked for the Obama campaign, Hillary campaign, and for the DNC.

The scandal here is a bunch of noobs got an extremely important contract through cronyism, and they bungled it horribly.
Damn, lwn is sweeet !! :)
>And Samsung sold twice as many as Apple.

Oh no, quite far from it. More like 50-60% Max. For the past few years Apple sold around 200M iPhone per year, Samsung on average sold around 300M per year.

But your point still stand, Google Pixel shipment isn't making much difference on the market.
Agree that this is certainly the greatest example of Hanlon's Razor in recent memory. This includes their naming choice.
That’s a very dismissive attitude. If you want to make the world a better place, you have to accommodate the average user; One can’t say, “you’re not smart enough for our service.”

This could go wrong in so many ways. Perfect way for un-accountability: the algorithm decided and we don't know why because it isn't transparent.

But there's some good potential too. It is a tool, it depends how we wield it or more precisely "who".

TBH, I've wanted this tech for DECADES ever since I saw Scientific American TV cover the "Cyborgs" at MIT in the early 90's, and then Google Glass (remember when everyone was selected based on their open idea submissions and thought they were getting FREE Google Glass, only to get the $1500 invoice?)

Let's start the list of all the things that can go wrong with this!

On the plus side, I wonder if they could measure the chromatic aberration and distortion of the reflected laser light and compute a correct lens prescription.
Sleep, then try again. There are no websites that take more than 12 hours to handle 1700 requests.
I think the bigger problem with Go is a lack of GC options. Java, on the other end of the spectrum has multiple GC algorithms (i.e. the Z garbage collector, Shenandoah, Garbage-First/G1) each with tunables (max heap size, min heap size, for more see [1]). Java other issues, but it solves real business problems by having so many garbage collector tunables. Go's philosophy on the matter seems to be that the programmer shouldn't have to worry about such details (and GC tunables are hard to test). Which is great, until the programmer does have to worry about them.

Agreed. Although Firefox is probably better for general purpose browsing if you are a non-dev power user, especially one who cares about ad blocking.

The integration is a good point.
No, they are confusing developing for Chomium first and not testing on all browsers.

Safari is behind in terms of W3C features. But implementing unsupported features does not mean you are hacking to support Safari. They should look into the progressive enhancement principle and CSS @support feature.

I think the limitation was of the program. I remember being able to record much longer audio when I was playing with a sampler.
MSNBC interviewed a precinct captain who stated she had no problems with the app. Last week they were given test PINs for training purposes so training was provided.
His words were - "Looking at what happened last night, looking at all of the data that we've got, it was an extraordinary night and we are absolutely victorious coming into New Hampshire." That's not lying about turnout to a speech, its lying about the results of the political process.

Coupled with the "coin flip" shenanigans that were (fortunately) overturned, the DNC claiming the delay is for "quality control", and the fact that numbers STILL haven't been released, its fair to say something shady is in play here. How can "quality control" for a caucus be executed when everyone has left and gone home? If we can have the results of a national election cleared up in a single day, there's no reason it should be taking this long.

Also: we have all been taught to treat "conspiracy" as a dirty word. If multiple entities get together to do something shady, they have "conspired". That's "conspiracy". Do you also believe Jeffery Epstien killed himself? Because according to the authorities, any other story is "conspiracy theory".
I don't know if the article was edited, but this is what the article now shows at the end:

So it seems like you are correct. The article could have been much more clear about this though.
They were children. Do children have no special protections in India? Is interrogation much better?

Not sure if you are a pedant who cares to an inappropriate degree about the proper use of words, or more likely, trying to distract from this heinous set of events by arguing semantics.
1. You quickly chill the meat in the freezer (or ice bath) after taking it out of the sous vide. This will help prevent further cooking when searing it, because we only want the sear.

2. You heat the pan as hot as possible, way hotter than normal, so that you can sear with only 10-20 seconds per side. Some use a torch instead.
Depends how the circuit fails. I suspect the pump will fail to lase if it receives too much current, physically capping the laser power sounds like a good design decision with something going right into your eyeballs (unlike CD lasers).
For most cases that would suffice and would be ergonomic, but what if a full SHA1 also qualifies as a prefix of one or more SHA256, and you want the SHA1? There's still a need for a mechanism to disambiguate for these cases, even if it ends up very rarely needed.

You may be right, but this will always be the case with electronic voting. A normal child could understand and verify the chain of a non-electronic vote. A very technical adult could not do the same for an electronic vote.

Because what you're saying is some dreamland example everyone always repeats like a scratched disc.

Why would you buy a CPU today when you know next year it will be at least 1/2 price or twice more performant?

Why buy a new phone today when tomorrow it will be cheaper?

Why marry a woman/guy today when you know tomorrow there will be a younger and better looking person out there?

Thats what you're saying. It doesn't hold true. I want something TODAY, not tomorrow, or next week. So if i had some gold or bitcoin, i would exchange some of it for the thing i want.

Lastly, some of the bitcoin-USD payment processors saw the largest volumes DURING the bubble of Dec 2017. What that means is as people got richer they started buying goods with their highly appreciated bitcoin.
It's entirely possible that my ability to follow directions and my status as Not-an-Octegenarian-Caucus-Volunteer is all that kept me out of trouble.
