Do you live in the real world? Prisons aren't safe because they are full of violent offenders! It's pretty obvious that when you densely pack the bottom tier of society into small spaces that the outcome will be a whole load of violence - of all forms, rape (which is about power and control), gangs (which is core to the human species), fights and murder.

There are many news stories about such companies suing local municipalities to prevent them from building their own network because the companies refuse to service the area properly. Just pick whichever news source is the most objective to you.
By that reasoning, nobody should have customer support. Yet people do, because burning your customers is not a sustainable business practice. Support is not a profit center, but in the long term profits go down without it. If people's only loyalty to Google is that their service is free, they won't be hard to woo away.

Startup Judo - The Secret You Should Know Before Starting a Company
I may be misunderstanding you here, so I'd appreciate a bit of clarification. The way I'm reading your argument, it sounds to me like your claim is something like, "Context doesn't matter: similar forms of harm necessarily carry similar moral weight." Thus, this app is intrinsically just as serious of an issue as a similar app rating women would be.

But that reasoning doesn't make any sense to me. I don't see how you couldn't apply the same argument to say "Regardless of context, it's always equally bad to violently shove someone," ignoring the difference between shoving someone standing on flat ground and shoving someone standing at the edge of a cliff. Of course I would be more upset about shoving in some contexts than in others.

So my claim is that the same reasoning applies here. This app absolutely does harm men, but the position of men in society is such that the resulting harm is fairly contained: this service is notable precisely because it's unusual. On the other hand, a similar app for rating women would be yet another contribution to a vast complex of social attitudes and institutions that combine to have a powerful oppressive effect. My sense is that network effects would reinforce and magnify the harm that such an app would do to women.

So yes, when evaluating my desire for sexual equality as a whole, I find myself more pressingly concerned about women's issues. But from my perspective, that's not an arbitrary preference but a rational choice.
WTF are you talking about? Rust is a very nice name.

Short, nicely googlable in a programming context, and quite cool.

Not to mention "Corrosion" is also nice.

You seem to see it from the perspective of the corroded material, but try seeing it from the perspective of the corrosive agent.

Then it's like naming a language "Acid" or "Explosion". Not to mention that "Fire" is also an example of corrosion (oxidation).

Fire, Acid, ... Doesn't Rust sound cooler already in this company?

Plus, Rust, the language, like corrosion, is "close to the metal" (pun intended).

Latency is a significant issue with this approach. A SSD doing 100,000 IOPS per second that's 3 feet from the CPU is noticeably faster than one that's 100 feet from the CPU.
Apple’s Ouster of AppGratis Is Just the Start of an App Store Crackdown
> works in a similar way.

I don't believe they work in a similar way at all: in this case, the trichomes act as "hooks" going through the bug feed and keeping them stuck (but not killing them outside of leaving them to starve), diatomaceous earth "removes" the hydrophobic coating of chitin (absorbs the lipid/waxy layer making chitin more porous), dehydrating the bugs to death.

So diatomaceous earth kills the bugs pretty much directly.

>> you can't create features or bugfixes simply by adding more developers to a project.

Sure. But you can spin up new projects - Google Glass, Google Fiber, etc etc, by spending your money building new teams instead of supporting existing products.

Again, I'm not saying they're right, but there is certainly an opportunity cost to providing support.

>> its budget is basically unlimited

Nobody's budget is unlimited. If nothing else, Google answers to shareholders.

> so apparently guys are still good enough to hire. Interesting.

I re-read the parent, and nowhere does it say nor imply that the CTO nor the people he hired were male. For all that we know, the site might be built by bimbos scratching one of their own itches.

I wouldn't bet on it, of course, but I'm amazed to see that prejudices are so deeply ingrained that:

* you read what was absolutely not written;

* nobody noticed.
Reason 37 to Reform the CFAA
You're right about some of this, although you're overstating the case: about 44% of the homeless in the United States are single men; families with children are about 36% and single women are only 13%. (Figures for Europe are certainly different as they offer different social services, especially for families.) Greater male service in the military is one component of this, as in the US veterans make up 16% of the homeless, as opposed to 10% of the general population.

I'm one of those overeducated women with the upper hand or something like that, although due to my great success in education I'm not out-earning all that many people yet. Remember, though, that the mythical ability to get a guy to pay for dinner and that incredible math PhD mean nothing when a guy on the street is looking me up & down & giving me a "compliment." If I talk back to that crazy guy on the bus, even if I'm out-earning and out-educating him, I always remember it can go like this: http://unwinona.tumblr.com/post/30861660109/i-debated-whethe...

Panic has a history of doing "Status Boards" for their internal use. I assume that they did this project for their own needs as much as to create a new product.

Three years ago they described creating a status board using a large Samsung screen with an embedded copy of Windows XP running Chrome:

https://www.panic.com/blog/2010/03/the-panic-status-board/

It is amazing the polish that they put on tools for internal consumption.
I don't get it. It was absolutely clear that they were using a propiretory software owned by a for-profit company.

There a perfectly viable alternatives, Open Source and free to use e.g. Zotero et al.

Those graphs don't really make much sense because such a dashboard is going to be context-sensitive. You would need to somehow customize it to give you the information that would be relevant to you, your team, or whomever.
"it does what currency should do, which is increase in value over time."

What utter rubbish. Bitcoin may or may not survive (as a volatile commodity, like gold), but you buy it now at your peril. It is backed by nothing, and generates no earnings. It started at $.10, and to $.10 it might well return.
I don't see why past & present inequality justify anything and everything that is bad for men/whites/whatever. Don't you see a difference between e.g. hiring policies that specifically advantage women and objecting to services that are potentially vicious and hurtful specifically to men? (I'm not convinced lulu is the latter, but assume for the moment it is).
You spin a good yarn, and maybe your theories do apply to someone, somewhere (and maybe to yourself, possibly only in your own head, as your ego attempts to reconcile congnitive dissonance), but in my own observations at Google, I have not found this alternative reality to match reality, ever, so I must conclude your explanation highly improbable. I think Occam's Razor would agree with me.

As an aside, I have found a large number of underperformers in every organization past a certain size. The reason is that hiring is inherently hard, and once employees have exhausted their immediate social circles, it is extremely error prone.

I've found that effectively weeding out non performers, who are inevitably hired, is one hallmark of a healthy organization. As mostly hire As but B players mostly hire Cs, and Cs put you out of business. This goes double for managers (who, incidentally, are continuously rated by their reports at Google).
Will software save the economy?
Ah, thanks for the clarification. (I'm not sure that I understand your point, but at least it's not the basic misunderstanding of feminism that I thought it was.)

(This is a reflection of the social influences that feminism labels "the patriarchy", right? Even though it's individual people making choices that implement those social trends. I've never considered the two to be mutually exclusive.)
I wish I could get by on four hours of sleep a night. But my body just doesn't cooperate. If I get less than ~7 hours of sleep over a period of a couple of days, I start to feel absolutely miserable and can't sustain it. I seem to function best on 8 hours, but I can survive on 7. I can do less than 7 for a couple of days in a row, but not consistently for long periods of time.

It's depressing, because I would love to use those hours for something more productive than sleep, but what can ya do? I think I should just start taking a nootropic of some sort to make up for it...

Good thing there's no PED test for entrepreneurs...
Thanks, but that seems kind of backwards - that way you're using the free/unsupported gmail account as the 'front end' to relay incoming mail to your paid/supported Apps account. If you then call Google up to troubleshoot something, would they blame issues on the free gMail relay? What if the free account was occasionally flaky, and you missed getting some emails forwarded... Also from what I've read, the gMail 'Send As' feature has been not exactly transparent previously, maybe that's been fixed now? I don't know if the fact that both email accounts are Google would help make this not a problem.
I imagine as time goes on, and remote working becomes increasingly more and more common, that the notion of packing up and moving to a start up hub will become more and more rare. There's always going to be cases where it makes sense to have employees in the office, or a reasonably central hub, but given the majority of work can be handled from a tropical beach or a snow capped mountain it's less relevant.
> Therefore in order to perform a lookup the entire page must still be faulted in, and the key must still be compared, so the benchmark is not fake in that regard. Data is getting pulled off disk, just not in a way that requires multiple copies.

How did you get this information? If that's the case, why did they not actually use the values (e.g. do something trivial like compute accumulated XOR or something). That would still show the advantages of the zero-copy design, but not ridiculously so.

It still seems highly suspicious. For example the benchmark with 100kb values runs twice as fast as the benchmark with 100 byte values?!

I certainly agree that the zero-copy design can be good, but these benchmarks are vastly overstating it to the point that the benchmarks are pretty useless. With these benchmarks it's impossible to know if that database is actually faster than the others. It could well be faster, but it could also be slower. To know that you need a fair comparison.

Note also that memory mapped designs have disadvantages as well. For example AFAIK memory mapping doesn't work asynchronously. You will block your threads, so you can't use lightweight threads or callbacks but you'll have to use heavyweight threads (which may limit concurrency and be expensive in general). Unless you implement your own OS of course (which interestingly some people are doing: http://www.openmirage.org/).

> So basically you're saying there is no benefit here because you aren't used to systems that effortlessly support it.

I'm not saying there is no benefit, I'm saying that it's a bad idea to rely on it that way for 500mb because for it to work safely every component has to support the same. Too easy to have an unexpected problem somewhere and have it blow up by copying 500mb when you only wanted 1kb. But it's still valuable for a database to handle large values well of course. Anyway, this is beside the main point.
Very nice idea. Can you give more detail about what kind of machine learning you employed?
I don't think that this is a very reasonable response - making a joke and caring about something are not mutually exclusive.

Comedians regularly make jokes about some of the most abhorrent things that happen in the world. Racism, pedophilia, murder. Do you think that these comics therefore agree with racism, pedophilia and murder? No, of course not. They're making jokes.

It may not have been funny, and it may not have been appropriate (we're not in a comedy club after all), but it doesn't mean esquilax will be OK with "teachers turning a blind eye on students raping other students in detention for not doing their homework".

Basically, calm down, he made a bad joke, it's not the end of the world.
No they didn't. Genetic modification is not the same thing as crossbreeding. And what they did always happened with regards and love for the environment. They produced crops that brought balance and harmony in nature so they always had fresh and healthy food. They didn't use artificial fertilizers or pesticides nor they messed with the DNA sequence manually for shady purposes.

Have you seen a goat or sheep eating its way through a field of weed? They eat and poop at the same time as they move around. That's an example of a natural fertilizer, cleansing and ploughing tool.

It's the obsession of first-world countries wanting meat every day on the table. That is unnatural. That is disturbing harmony and that is why we need chemical pesticides and genetic modifications and that is why these countries have an excess rate of cancer in comparison to those that still grow food in their yards naturally.

So stop calling natural agriculture genetic modification. That's an argument Monsanto and the likes brought to the table to mess with your mind and justify their cause and is completely invalid.
It's like a bait for the bad ones. Now, if only you could find out which people you knew used the app...

Does anyone really care? Maybe the young insecure men who have grown up with hash tags and their online persona having some kind of meaning. But anyone with an ounce of confidence wouldn't care less. Women have always gossiped and always will. It's not about the men, it's a way for women to bond over common experiences and shared empathy.
Looks decline for women, but men start to look "distinguished".

It depends a LOT on what the opposite sexes look for in a partner - men want something young and pretty to impress their friends and not say something too stupid, women want a dominant man who pays for stuff and makes decisions.
There are lots of little psychological tricks and bluffs that can be risky if the other party knows what you're doing. Regardless of those, I think the key is really:

•Know what you want and don't be shy to ask for it

•Know what you have that the other party wants

I don't think a good negotiator is necessarily someone who gets the best deal on everything--especially if it requires a long, dragged-out negotiation, because that time and stress is also a cost. Rather, it's someone who knows what they have, knows what they want, and can turn the former into the latter at a high rate of success, and with positive net value gain to him or herself.
Is Gmail down?
That's certainly a possibility but I'll have to assume that they are running with the same durability guarantees unless proven otherwise :)
In most companies you can access better support by paying more. The frustrating thing about Google is that they do not offer this option for most of their products.
I was wondering that too.

Specifically since the dude, or dudette, is extremely assertive and even aggressive in demanding sources, while at the same time has not even remotely a source to offer for his / her assertions.

The biggest kicker was to demand a source for an opinion I presented.

If I wouldn,t be against feeding trolls I would be happy to explain the difference between an assertion of fact and an opinion.

I wonder what Tucker will say Bitcoin is teaching us if it falls to $40.

Bitcoin is very interesting and agree with Ezra Klein's piece on it. However, the importance of Bitcoin is not in its exchange rate to other currencies, but in all its other unique properties.

Tucker puts far too much weight on what is quite likely a speculative bubble, which will be to the ultimate detriment of Bitcoin's long-term future.

I try to put myself in the position to sleep as long as my body needs and I find that I am still groggy after 10 hours (and 7, 8 and 9). Using the Sleep Cycle app I regularly record 10 hours in bed but even getting a 90%+ "sleep quality" score has no impact on how groggy I feel each morning. I doubt my body "needs" more than 10 hours a day and even if I do it isn't feasible for me, or most people. Leads me to suspect that the issue is rather more complex than just the number of hours slept.
It would be neat if it was an option for people who already have Linodes. a tiny $10 server would be great as a build server or a puppet/salt master.
