>Aside from that, these sorts of analyses ignore the many benefits that cars provide and the many downsides of public transit.

Actually, the post doesn't ignore the benefits of cars. It says for example that an SUV is a great option for a family of 6 going to the suburbs. Perhaps you had some other benefits in mind?
If the article is accurate, then I hope that the EU Parliament will listen to the tech sector for a change. Unfortunately, I doubt we'll get a Blackout style campaign like SOPA had in the US.
When we lived in London, if we wanted to go somewhere that wasn't well served by rail we'd just rent a car. The couple of hundred pounds we'd spend on car rental was far less than the cost of owning a car.

In the Netherlands I'd just cycle there. Nothing is that far away. ;-)

I agree - maybe because that's exactly what I do.

Living in a crowded area near the Tel Aviv port (think shopping, clubs, restaurants and sometimes events) a car would've been a real hassle. In fact: If I'd have decided that I need a car here, this location wouldn't have made sense at all.

But I think I can get by without one, most of the time. And given the traffic here I consciously decided that I really don't want to participate on a regular basis anyway. I rent a car for trips across the country if needed, use a bike for the rest. Rarely a bus/shuttle taxi/taxi. Trains are .. well .. kind of pointless for my uses so far.

I'm convinced that I save money this way and do 'Something Good' (tm), both for myself and the environment.
> Maybe it's time for distributions to slim down considerably to the point where they really only contain everything that's needed for the system to run on its own.

> All end-user software (with all their dependencies - disk space is cheap nowadays) would then be installed directly from the vendors - as it's done on every other OS on the planet.

First of all, by "every other OS on the planet", you mean "the other two major desktop/laptop OSes", as opposed to all the major smartphone OSes where you normally install packages provided through a standardized packaging system.

And second of all, no, let's not switch from a system where every package has a nice uniform install process with automatic dependency handling to one where every vendor has their own "unique" way of doing things.

I'd argue that the various magic scripting language packaging systems exist to handle the OSes without sane package management, meaning OS X and Windows. Those languages wouldn't need gem, easy_install, or cpan if they could always count on apt or rpm. But once the scripting languages implement their own packaging system, it becomes painful to integrate with the distribution packaging systems, so they just say "screw it, ignore the distributions and install it yourself".
Your first paragraph nailed it, it is of course a great reason for open source code - letting others audit it.

Second paragraph, way off base. Reasons for keeping source code private are far more likely to be based on a business plan, not on coders being embarassed about their work.
Japan's solution is to forbid owning a car if you can't prove you have a parking space for it (as a rented space or you own it, choice is yours).
It worked pretty well IMO, and car rental was cheap enough to cover the need to see grandma case.

BTW Paris is testing the casual car rental strategy also.

We live in the center of Edinburgh and the parking in the center of town is split into standard "Pay and Display" and zoned resident-only parking (which we pay a fixed amount per year for). This seems to work fairly well - we have a car that we really don't use that often (my wife and I both walk to work and our son walks to school) but we just keep it parked on one of the residents parking spaces on the street outside our flat.

You have to have proof of actually living in the relevant zone to get a residents parking permit - but this is pretty easy to do (they check you against the council tax register).

I sort of dislike the "recently watched" list since it sometimes limits what I am willing to watch.

There's a British movie on Netflix, at least in Canada, called Cashback. It was a really decent movie, but it was really poorly marketed. The cover art is a woman frozen in a state of undress (with the title obscuring her bare breasts), and the description of the plot talked of a bored employee at a grocery store with the ability to freeze time who used the frozen time to undress customers and sketch them nude.

I was curious, as many men would be, but I didn't want to watch it because I didn't really want that to be the first thing on screen in the "recently watched" list when my girlfriend turned on Netflix.

In fact, I only ever watched it because Netflix later recommended it to me as "mind bending", which seemed like an odd description of the boob-filled teenage sex romp it seemed to be. I looked it up on Amazon and discovered the real plot, and decided to watch it anyway.

The frozen time nude artistry was mostly contained to a single throwaway scene (the time freezing was also initially presented as a time-passing fantasy rather than a real ability, though the film does play fast and loose with that line as the movie progresses), but it still made me hesitate because of the "recently watched" list.

I have no idea how I'll get away with watching Barbarella.
Take a look at the second line in the `apply` definition[1]:

self.eval @env[fn][2], Hash[*(@env[fn][1].zip args).flatten(1)]

It's triggered when the `fn` is not callable, i.e. when we pass in lambda:

[:lambda, [:x], [:car, [:cdr, :x]]]

The code ignores the `:lambda` symbol (that would be `@env[fn][0]`).

It evals the third element of the list (the lambda body) in a new context that combines `@env` and the binding of lambda's args to the symbols in the lambda's definition -- that's what the `Hash` mumbo jumbo creates.

I see. So for a large dataset you would still hit a bottleneck, compared to a main mem store which also uses compression. But nonetheless it's a good idea to do certain operations on hot data on the GPU.

Which operations benefit the largest in your experience? I would guess scans with simple predicates and expressions. What about aggregations?

You can do that in the US, but it isn't common because of carrier subsidies. Even worse, sometimes when you pay full price for a phone you still wind up with something that is carrier-locked anyway. Plus there are all sorts of technical incompatibilities (e.g. AT&T vs T-Mobile 3G bands) even if your phone is otherwise unlocked. And so on...
>How many days can you feed your family on 2 bags of groceries?

4 of us actually live 2 blocks from the grocery store and I think someone gets a couple of bags every other day. The "10 bags of groceries" shopping trip is actually an effect of cars (and suburbanization). When cities are walkable, grocery stores are nearby too.

I think it's obvious that just like a family of 6 can't fit on a bicycle and would need a SUV to go to Florida, you'd need a big vehicle to get a TV home. Presumably, you don't buy a TV every week.
Having 4 friends helps too. Get them to vote up your story (simultaneously!!) so that it goes on the front page even for a few minutes. After that, if it's any good, it'll be self-sustaining. (If not, having those friends won't help much - it'll fall off if it doesn't keep getting votes from other people who think it's valuable.)

I never actually done this, but I see it all the time.
"why don't they detect and cluster by topics?"

They do - for selected queries where it makes sense.

I totally agree about the downsides. Even when a bus goes from exactly where I am to exactly where I want to go with no transfers or half-mile walks in the middle (which, incidentally, is almost never), I still have to conform my schedule to the bus's. If it runs every ten minutes, that's no big deal, but if they run every 40 minutes (like my school's shuttles) or every 20-60 minutes (like the CTA is wont to do), that's just not going to work.

My most frequent use of my car is a trip that takes 40 minutes through the city by car, and 2+ hours by bus/train. I would love it if the CTA managed to increase frequencies and fix all the slow zones on their track. It's just never going to happen.

There were protest yesterday in many Polish cities - biggest in Kraków (15000 according to police), smaller 500-5000 in other cities. People summed it up to about 60 000 people in the whole country.

Today there will be protest in Lublin, Poznan, and other cities. I'm going to the one in Lublin.

Probably nothing's gonna change, but lies of the governament are too much. They say in TV and radio that ACTA won't change a thing in Polish law. And they say we need to change the law to be like in other "civilised" countries. No problem with contradicting themselves.
The TV and all the bulkier things get delivered. Even if you have a car its not like you buy a fridge and drive it home.
I just tested it myself and can't confirm it. I started by searching for a flight for one person and got a few offers which said "3/4 seats left" and if you hover over the image you'll get the alt text "x seats left for that price".

It actually looks like a neat feature which shows you how many seats are left in the cheapest fare group that applies to your settings.

EDIT: I just did some more testing, searching for different person counts, and it does exactly what I thought.

When you get "3 seats left" then you can book for 3 persons for the cheapest price, and whenever you add a 4th person, the price is higher than four times the 1-person price
> Distribution power, maybe, but they're probably still significantly disadvantaged financially, since $8/mo is considerably less than anybody (who has cable) pays for cable.

Not entirely true. I'm part of a growing number of people that have cable tv who don't actually use cable tv. Let me explain. Once I explained to Comcast that my household no longer watches cable tv and that I'd rather spend the money I used to spend on cable tv for faster internet (up to 50 mbs). They in turn explained to me that if I have super basic cable plan for $9.99 / month, they would give me a $15 discount off my entire monthly bill. So for a $5 monthly discount, Comcast gets to keep me as a ghost cable tv subscriber.
Hi Richard,

To me personally, not requiring on-the-spot coding tests would make me happy. Compare the following two scenarios:

Company A: During the interview, I was asked to write a short ruby method to solve a problem on the whiteboard. I didn't really do well because I couldn't remember some APIs. Though in the end I still got the job, so I don't really know how effective the whiteboard coding test was.

Company B: During the interview, I was asked to explain the coding logic to solving a problem in Backbone JS on the whiteboard. I was much more comfortable with that, as I didn't have to remember exact APIs or methods to use. During this process, the interviewers got a good sense of my technical ability not just in Backbone JS, but also in JavaScript and MVC in general.

By reliable Amazon mean "won't lose your data" and they deliver on that. The issue in the articlew is around latency and Amazon aren't making any claims in that area. High throughput databases need steady latency guarantees so they're not a great fit for EBS. EBS is great for many other scenarios though.

There's this super-budget airline in Australia, Tiger Airways, so budget that they skimped on training pilots and got shutdown for some time.

Anyway, their website at some point had two hidden features: if you tried to book in a group it would charge you more per person (because you're depriving them of "credit card surcharge") AND just checking the price of a certain flight a certain amount of times (showing interest in that flight) would raise the price by some increment for every other customer on the website automatically.

I remember some time back when GPUs were first being looked at for HPC uses I suggested a client look into them, but they were quickly dismissed due to their floating point limitation (which may have changed).

It basically shows the number of seats left in the same fare-basis. The problem is with the communication, and not the supposed "algorithm".
Pretty inane article and mildly paranoid conclusion. If it had said "x seats available" it would have been grammatically correct but too long for a button. And yes, "algorithm" was geek linkbait.
> Actually, the post doesn't ignore the benefits of cars. It says for example that an SUV is a great option for a family of 6 going to the suburbs. Perhaps you had some other benefits in mind?

Those benefits will go the way of the dodo once all the externalities will finally go into gasoline prices, at least in the US. Right now the EU I think does it better, it tries to inhibit owning a car by taxing gasoline prices extensively, while the US has chosen to start and fight apparently useless wars just to keep those gasoline prices under control.

And before I get accused of being a conspiracy freak just for stating the obvious, just remember that Japan's forays into SE Asia and Germany's desperate try to put its hands on Caspian Sea oil reserves during WW2 were made because of the exact same reasons: control of natural resources.
You are right, the title is grossly misleading, but I don't think this was manually labelled. They have this to say about the association of pictures and topics:

Ookaboo attains high precision within it's point-of-view by having a very permissive definition of "depicts," which means roughly "this image could appear in an encyclopedia entry for..." For example, in the case of dbpedia:Pablo_Picasso, we'd accept a portrait of the artist, images of his works, or a house that he lived in.

This leads me to believe that the topic associations were derived automatically based on information found on the page in which the picture was embedded.

Is it Time to Offer an Alternative to QWERTY?
What I really need is a good international network of car rental stations, such that I would only have too pay for transits between places. My main problem are holidays: renting a car for two or three weeks still seems too expensive (~1000€). I've never owned a car in my life, but my girl-friend loves driving and the discussions everytime we plan holidays are a huge pita.

Likewise in the city a car sharing service that worked like that would be great. We need the car to visit our son's grandparents, and paying by the hour would easily come to 20 to 30€ per visit, while the car is mostly just sitting there waiting.

Meanwhile I can only wait for autonomous cabs, I suppose :-(
This is why I've completely and utterly screened out "limited special offer" anything these days. I will not be conned into not shopping around (which is why they do this, obviously), and I don't buy things unless I need them at the time. Occasaionaly I'll lose out when there genuinely was limited stock available and it was a good price, but overall I'm probabbly better of and certainly less rushed.

All retail (web or bricks-and-mortar) and services advertising is lies pretty much at this point. A colleque gets an SMS from the local Bannatynes gym that he used to be a member of telling him about a limited time "rejoin" offer that has limited places. He has had the same message at least once a month for the last twelve months so basically both the calim of limited places and the claim that it is a limited time offer are basically lies. Or the DFDS sale "you'll never see these prices again!!!!!". The list is endless.

By being dishonest in these ways, some in the retail and services industries are pushing people like me (people with enough money to not mind that they might sometimes pay a little extra in order to avoid being lied to) away.

Having said that, the example given here isn't actually lying (they don't say "only X seats available") though it is misleadingly presented, either accidentally or the site is being deliberately disengneuous, and if that is deliberate than it is little better than a lie.
Having never experienced it, can someone tell me what the point of having the applicant code on a whiteboard instead of on a computer is (Maybe with screen-sharing so the interviewer doesn't have to be looking over the applicant's shoulder)?
