Regarding responsiveness in Firefox. Using Debian 7 Linux I've also experienced the browser getting sluggish on occasion, even recently. It is not as bad as it used to be, and generally the browser is still useable, but it is still annoying.

Responsiveness being : it takes too long to a) switch tabs b) open a new tab c) access a menu (e.g. File/Whatever). The UI might take a second or more to respond. I might have 50 tabs open spread over 5-6 windows.

Currently, the browser is running well and I suspect the most recent responsiveness trouble was caused by an add-on (Brief - feed reader) which I have disabled.

But I second the call for a better way to identify badly behaving tabs (CPU as well as RAM) more easily.

Firefox is a great browser and thanks to all who make it.

I've been underestimating the size of the airline industry. I have a hard time reconciling the fact that the airlines always seem to be on the verge of bankruptcy with numbers this big -- $90+ billion a year in just passenger revenue.
I don't understand the down vote. People actively choose to back projects that are past 100% funding. This means they want to participate. Setting an arbitrary limit in order to protect people seems ridiculous when the information about funding levels is right there, in real time. How is contributing when the project is at 150% funding any more risky than when it is at 50%? You are still in for the same pledge amount.

Not quite. The extra seats only provide additional revenue when the flights would have otherwise been full. From the article, the average flight is only 80% full, which means those six extra seats aren't providing any additional revenue.

To determine the actual revenue increase from those six extra seats, we would have to know how frequently flights have less than 6 empty seats.
Honestly, this sounds like just too much trouble and I guess I just don't really care enough. If I refused to buy anything that was made or sold by anyone that had ever done harm to anyone, I'd probably starve to death... homeless & naked. I've spent the last 2 years reading the label of every food item I buy my son because he's allergic to eggs and soy (and we avoid nuts because we're too afraid we'll kill him with one) so I can tell you a little something about how much of a pain it is to scrutinize every single item you purchase. It is not as easy as it sounds. And even if there is an app for that... it will still suck. Personally... I don't think this is worth it. To each their own.
Looks like this went out a bit early. The video is now down and the signup form 404s. No doubt we'll get more details tomorrow.
If flights are at 80% capacity adding 6 extra seats just means an extra 6 empty seats on every flight. The $733 million number is meaningless - what is actually needed is to know how many post-reconfiguration flights had 5 or fewer free seats, since that is the only situation in which the extra capacity is being used.
> I also experienced this at a well known late-stage SF startup when they hosted a developer meetup in their office.

That form is not what I think of when I think of NDA - it's one very brief page. And they don't review what you write. In fact one staff member said "Just print your name" when questioned by a guest. I see it more as just a reminder for guests to behave themselves.

I recently tried to book a place for my upcoming trip to Manhattan in June using AirBnB. I've connected my FB account, had friends give me referrals, have money in my bank account, etc. After a ton of research into places to stay (mind you, in the $200-$350/night range!), I contacted about 10-12 places. I got zero response. As far as I'm concerned, AirBnB is an utter failure. I'd rather pay more for a hotel where I can rest assured that I've got a place than risk my vacation on some third party that is flakey.
How can you poison people with DDT? DDT is harmless to humans. It's been eaten in large doses to demonstrate this point.

The only harm involved with DDT is the millions of poor mostly-non-white people dead from malaria (including many children) because of the irrationality of some privileged wealthier mostly-white people (not including many children).

For more info start with http://industrialprogress.com/2012/01/26/the-story-of-ddt/ and google.
Yeah. My first thoughts were that the methodology is extremely questionable. I know it's arguable that successive games aren't necessarily independent trials, but analyzing a game in terms of streaks, is so incredibly "un-mathematical" I don't know where to start. To top it off, there's no reasoning about why it might be the case that "streak" analysis might give insight into the why of things.
>I'm not sure what you mean with "nonexisting". Attended by fewer people? If so, yes.
Still, a century ago (and quite a lot more for that matter), there were excellent universities and great curriculums, of the kind that put a lot of modern university curriculums to shame.

I'm talking about K-12 and the notion of public schools as well not just universities themselves.

>To put it in another way, a 20 year old with full access to the Internet, is not (as a sum of his and the internets information) smarter and wont be more productive than Einstein or Bertrand Russell.

I was implying nothing of the sort. I see it as those who would never have the type of access to the infrastructure associated with our educational system (you know, K-12, free lunch, public transportation, student loans, and etc), could learn how to evaluate information without the aid of a such an institutionalized system (and even as the cost of the degree goes up, most americans are going to essentially be priced out of even mediocre universities if they don't want to live their productive lives paying student loans if they can get a job not soon to be automated by computers/robots, of course, for the chance [seeing as students today are lacking this ability even with the degree according to this author] to learn how to evaluate information with patience).

The 20 year olds I sat in class with during MatSci seemed to equate evaluating information with regurgitating what the professor regurgitated from his lecture notes that he wrote up and posted online in the previous years, and seemed so incompetent when unable to apply their "evaluation skills" when trying to etch/dope wafers in lab (but able to deftly copypasta a lab report together with their peers for that good ol' "A").

>Most of them (of what I've read in biographies and interviews) attribute their success to hard work and study, which sure sounds like "patience" to me.
Curiosity without patience = Reddit.

Notice how I wrote "…would attribute their success to their patience (or being told that they should be patient) before their own curiosity." and not "Curiosity without patience" as I noted before that when I qualified the circumstance where patience would be valuable in this context.

Some people benefit form personal contact, others don't. Don't assume your experience is the blueprint for everybody to follow. I got very little out of my college education from personal contact with professors.
The issue here is probably their margins, not their volume, though? It doesn't matter how much passenger revenue they bring in if the expenses (safety, security, regulation conformance, equipment maintenance, fuel, staff pay...) outweigh it.
The prevailing theory among air carriers is that demand for flights is totally exogenous to the industry and allocation of flights between carriers in the industry is, for most customers (e.g. not frequent business travelers, who are price insensitive and care about mileage), dependent pretty much solely on price. Accordingly, minor decreases in comfort which add capacity are pretty much an auto-win.

Many people dislike this conclusion and dispute it's factual accuracy because they don't want to believe that they'll predictably increase their own agony to shave $5 off a ticket. But, well, non-experts opinion of their own behavior often does not have 1 to 1 correspondence with reality which is tractable to measurement with numbers.
Consider the possibility that the point is to not purchase consumer goods from corporations.
I think a more typical chain is:

drugs -> USD -> mattress -> grocery store
I hope this means the end of IE6, for all our sakes.
Being 6'5, my knees hate these numbers.
thanks for posting this.
This is why I use Firefox and not Chrome. If shit hits the fan, I can still get my data (history/bookmarks/tabs) out via the sqlite and json files.
While these numbers will never be perfect, per se, RITA[1] shows that in 2011, Southwest's loadfactor was 80.8% while in 2012, loadfactor was 80.4%. So, the flights remained around 80% full on average.

I took this into account in my calculation and assumed roughly 4.8 more seats were filled on average per flight, not a full 6.

I think what he's getting at with the NDA point is the start of the conversation. As an ex-finance/NYC guy, you see this all the time in New York (thankfully its getting less frequent but I just had it happen again the other day): you meet a founder, he/she has an idea, and in order for him/her to share the idea, they ask you to sign an NDA. Just to hear the idea. Happens with alarming frequency.
This explains a lot of misconceptions lately, haha, thanks.
The Koch brothers are indeed very influential. Remember when they bankrolled that Libertarian Party that now controls American politics, legalized all the drugs and abolished the income tax?
Hey bruv, another fellow alum from the engineering school.

I agree with your sentiment regarding the value of connections, and that's where the premium cost of on-campus MS programs comes in. But there is a clear value to getting a degree with a reputation and accreditation versus learning the same material independently.

Additionally, defending a thesis to a random professor thousands of miles away isn't far off from my real-world work environment. Worked for IBM and literally never met my manager during my tenure. Currently work at a firm with colleagues predominantly across the world and have to manage direct reports, solve problems, and build rapport all the same. Getting things done despite being remote is the direction.
In terms of lines of code, I'm sure that things like OMeta are pretty small, but that doesn't mean the implementation is not complicated. And I'm not that familiar with the *Meta stuff, but AFAIK that stuff is just the frontend, whereas on the backend (the logic for generating the machine code / bytecode) things can get messy and complicated.

Also, I'm sure that the Go implementation is right now simple, but every mainstream compiler quickly evolves towards doing more and more AOT optimizations, like for performance or for better error messages. Again, performance optimizations can get really complicated and messy.
Agreed, but as a follower I see how active they are and how often they respond to users.

For clarity: Mac and Windows Chrome sans extensions, but these days I'm running a few like Adblock and Chime.
Unless I buy everything on Etsy.... aren't most things coming from corporations?
Replication on Postgres can be the basis of a backup, IFF you store base base backups and WAL logs.

In normal life, your secondaries just chug along, consuming WAL logs.

Should you do something like drop/truncate a table, you can start with your base backup and replay the logs till just before your fat finger.
Ah, faulty assumptions (and in this case a mathematical equation leaving out a critical piece) leading to surprising numbers.

Why stop at 1" and not take all 31? Unlimited money.
Yep, at 80% full and the median Beoing 737 model capacity being 130 passengers, $733 mill is useless.
Interesting, I'm guessing the Manhattan market functions differently than PDX. My limited experience is that using the "% responded" and "time to responded" metrics they give for hosts, you can get a feeling for which listings are dead vs. active.
You can't drop a database on postgres if anyone is connected to it, which is likely the case on production.
That seems wildly unlikely given that the thing is an app designed to run on a pricey smartphone.
Viber is the new Skype
That's good as well!

If you are hosting your database on ec2, using only wal-e means that all of your data is hosted on amazon. If they were to cancel your service, you'd lose your data.

Running pg_basebackup+pg_receivexlog on a different provider is cheap insurance against that.

Be sure to test how fast wal-e can restore your data, btw. Restoring from s3 was significantly slower than restoring from a local disk (in my testing a while ago).
At least with Chrome there is the built in Task Manager.
I used mindomo for a while and found it pleasant enough. for some reason I never stick with mind mapping though.
To be fair, you should use the much smaller revenue of the US branch to campare it with a US punishment. Taking global revenue is bindende, even though US lawyers push this nonsense as well.
I am not aware of any non-FP languages that track referential transparency in the type system.
Not to mention the additional weight of the seats and how much fuel it takes to drag them around.
The problem is essentially all the buyers of drugs are in the US, and pay cash. You end up with a bunch of $5-20 bills in the US. You need to either pay electricity/personnel/fertilizer/rent/etc. to grow pot, or pay Chinese companies for research chemicals, or South Americans or Central Asians for cocaine or heroin, or old people/poor people for pharms (or sometimes foreign companies).

The direction is

product: producer (foreign) -> reseller (USA) -> user (USA)

money: buyer (USA) -> resller (USA) -> producer (foreign)

The hard part is the initial stage of taking US physical $5-20 bills and depositing it into a bank account without arousing suspicion, at scale. You can't just deposit it into a US account and wire it overseas, and you can't as easily play the remittance game where you give ~$500/wk to a bunch of Mexicans to "remit to Mexico" to accounts you control.

Right now, the best thing to do is actually "bulk currency export", where you put it in a bunch of bags and ship it overseas, then deposit it into foreign accounts. Once you get it into a foreign bank, you SWIFT it to a slightly less shady jurisdiction, going through a bunch of steps to obfuscate (although doing traffic analysis on SWIFT is a solved problem; I suspect FinCEN is a Palantir customer...), then put it into investments, usually government approved/affiliated, which won't be questioned.

By buying slightly government affiliated assets (real estate?), you then get rent streams which are "clean", and then you invest those in the US.

Your average dude buying a few hundred pounds of weed in Humboldt for $1500/pound and flipping it for $3200/pound in NYC just moves bulk currency back in the same manner he shipped his product cross-country, pays his vendors in cash, and ends up with a lot of cash, which he spends on flashy purchases for his personal life (paying rent in cash, etc.), and with the excess, may make cash investments in assets (small businesses, whatever) which generate licit revenue, on which he pays taxes and then does whatever.

Bitcoin is totally irrelevant to that.

The market where bitcoin might make sense is if you're a US research dealer who wants to buy, say, 100 grams of some new RC from a manufacturer in China. The dodgy "sell to individuals" front there might be willing to accept BTC then fedex it to you. Otherwise you have to go through the trouble of doing a wire to a foreign account, etc.

It also could make sense if your retail buyers also take bitcoin. Maybe selling cocaine to VCs in SF/NYC could meet that (1 BTC ~= 1 eight ball), assuming you can then somehow take a bunch of BTC to buy larger quantities of cocaine (maybe via silkroad?). But in practice I think the only people selling serious weight for Bitcoin above the retail level are pharm, RC, or pot.
My girlfriends father is a pilot for southwest. For my birthday we flew home with my pregnant sister, we of course flew standby. On the way back, my sister and I were separated in Phoenix, where she ended up getting stuck for the night because every flight after 11am was booked. What I'm saying is that although they were able to add more seats, they still can't give everyone a seat, and to southwest that's money lost, and to me, that's one frightened sister.

Although I enjoy my legroom, it was hell trying to get my sister home.
Good info, thanks for sharing. Are you knowledgeable about how much time to spend on cardio and strength training per week for optimal heart health? It's difficult to find reliable information about this subject.

Some claim that elevating one's heart rate (170+ BPM for late 20s individual) for 20-30 minutes three times a week is a good 80/20 solution for aerobic exercise. My current routine is to lift for 50 minutes MWF, jog for 45 minutes Tuesday, interval sprint for 25 minutes Thursday, and take a long hike Saturday. I also bike to work MWF (11 miles round trip) and walk 12k steps a day, so I figure that cancels the need for a third weekly intense aerobic exercise session. Curious to know if you have any heart health improvement suggestions.
You also need to calculate the extra fuel costs for the additional weight of the empty seats. If most of the time those seats are empty, they need to be utilized enough to justify their extra expense.
Bitcoins are not sold at auction, they are traded like stocks, commodities, and currencies.

You have people making offers to buy and people making offers to sell. You're free to take someone else's offer or make your own. The biggest difference is probably that there are many many transactions for the same item occuring. When people are overpaying for auctions, it's because there is only one auction so only the highest bidder gets it. With Bitcoin (or stocks, or gold, or oil, or corn), people that didn't want to pay a particular price can wait for someone else to make a better offer and buy it later.

To take his jar of coins analogy, you would first have to create many jars with the same number/value of coins inside. Since no central entity creates Bitcoins, lets say the jars are distributed among a few hundred different people. When someone wants to sell one, he doesn't get the luxury of asking everyone else to make a bid - he has to compete with everyone else who wants to sell their jars. The buyers will line up in order of the price they are willing to pay, and the sellers in order of the price they are willing to take. Where they meet will be the price the market has discovered. There is no reason to believe that price would tend to be higher (or lower) than the real value of the jar based on auction theory.
Fuel costs are essentially linear with regards to weight, and accordingly dominated by putting several hundred tons of metal in the air. After you've made that decision, adding a marginal passenger is much, much, MUCH cheaper than the price of a ticket. The margins approach that of the last customer added to a SaaS company. (!)

Airlines occasionally obscure this with regards to their public pricing rationales for extra luggage, but that is almost solely an ops/revenue-maximization problem for the airline rather than being sincerely a proportional response to the additional marginal cost of putting another bag in the air.
I ship wal logs to s3 for backup, and I do test restores on EC2.

What I've found is that most of the files can be grabbed really quickly, in the 3mb/sec range, but there's always a handful that run at 300k/sec. Running the downloads 8 or more at a time tends to help with that so that we're mostly maxing out the local network.
It has a nice GUI and is simple to use. It's like not understanding a nice FTP/sftp client because there are free/CLI versions available. It's not for everyone, but it my experience with using it for sftp mounting is that it was great in OSX years ago.
Last time I tried installing Linux (/Ubuntu) on a Macbook it was a balls cooking experience with the combination of NVidia and Intel. Pure intel HD might be better, but why do I want to solve those problems in the first place?
Indeed. A bag like this can be done in a day or half a day: with a shoe you have glue drying time to consider, and the sewing is complex because it is curved and has to be close to the edge. In this bag everything is straight lines: cut, position, sew
>5 or fewer free seats, since that is the only situation in which the extra capacity is being used.

You're not taking into account overbooking and cancellations--having n+6 seats to sell makes it easier to get n butts in seats.

Ow thanks man, That's what I was looking for.
> As a wise man once said, they laughed at Galileo, they laughed at Einstein... and they laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Exactly, "they" can't tell the difference between Bozo the Clown and Einstein. It's very hard to predict what ideas or technologies will be adopted in the future. I don't think it's wise to quickly dismiss one that's already progressed this far (the DHS isn't laughing).
So you're telling me you get my email, my political inclinations, and my offline purchasing habits.

T&C includes the "no class action" and binding arbitration clauses. Privacy policy doesn't actually mention anything about campaigns I use or products I scan, which makes my suspicious mind ... umm... suspicious. At least it omits the "or as otherwise allowed by law" blanket "we do whatever we want" clause.

They do say they won't sell or rent personally identifiable information. I'm not sure if they could weasel out of it by using some sort tracking cookie, but it looks like they seem to be limiting themselves to selling aggregate data.

I'm not a lawyer, of course, but I don't think I really said anything anyone else can't read for themselves.
