The problem is that one of the clients to be kept in sync is the dev tools itself. Currently the dev tools assume no one else is using the API, so there's significant work on the Chromium side to make them able sync up with changes caused by other API usage.

> something we all hate

Doubtless there are some (perhaps even many, in certain circles) who would rather pay directly for services, but you're sorely mistaken if you think that it's anywhere near-universal (even on HN/in tech) that people hate ads more than they hate paying. What you actually mean is "something we all hate, given that we feel entitled to getting services completely for free".
If they truly did sneak in, it sounds like a clear case of trespassing and theft. Report the crime.
The reverse is a probable case. If Exxon didn't deliver dividends and investors don't believe the company will grow, then they'd pay even less for shares. A large part of a mature's company's worth is tied to interest rates. People pile into a dividend payer because it's better than holding cash - heck they borrow cash to buy the dividend payer. So actually Exxon could be just as vulnerable to a share price fall as Apple.

Lastly, what happens if Exxon holds cash and grows a stockpile? If it's not earning money, the cash just makes a share more expensive, but the dividend as a percentage decreased. Well, the closer that percentage gets to interest rates, the less attractive the stock gets to those type of investors.

This makes approximately as much sense as "Apple is a one-hit revenue wonder: almost all their revenue is from direct sales".
I have pretty much the same setup at my work too. It goes Gitlab->Jenkins->Puppetmaster. This works super well with Puppet dynamic environments, since each team member can have their own branch to mess around in and make mistakes. On our master branch you have to pass puppet parser validate and puppet-lint before things get to production, which helps cut down on errors.

Honest question: What do people use Wine for? The only thing I ever tried under it was games, and for that it was... meh. I'm assuming my experience was sub-par because my expectations were unreasonable.

Thank you for proving my point, and debunking osipov's, so clearly. :)
IANAL, but this official news states clearly that bitcoin is illegal in Russia. Really, it doesn't get more clear than a Prosecutor citing a law and exemplifying bitcoin as being illegal.

You don't need a new law to ban something. All you need is one stupid official to apply an old law to a new concept.

Based on the old law, one cannot mine, trade, accept, and even use bitcoin to buy stuff in Russia.

You sound like a jerk man, I'm as smart as you (and many people here are way, waaaay smarter than you and me together).

It took you 25 years to get where you're right now, does that mean programming is easy? It's the total opposite. In most professions you're ready after 4 years of training, in contrast programming not really.

I don't know how old you are, definitely older than me, but I really hope you don't tell those things you just commented to "the people" you work with.
My point is simply that the USD is now worth less and the raw materials are now more scarce and expensive than in 1991. You are right in calling me out about the scale though, as I guess that even if you had all the knowledge to create all the components necessary, you still would have a much smaller market and therefore less offsetting of the initial cost. However, if say, you made 2 phones for everybody, maybe that would bring the market up enough to reach the same scale as today's market?
> Let's phrase the question this way: if I have a 1 kg mass of plastic and metal in some proportion and I throw it out of the airlock with the initial temperature of 293 K, what will its temperature be 30 minutes later if it was (a) in the shadow and (b) in the sunlight?

To answer, I have to say first that radiation is a much more efficient way to transfer heat energy than convection, and in some contexts it rivals conduction. If it's in shadow, exposed to space and not the sun, the object in your thought experiment will radiate most of its heat energy rather quickly, and will ultimately fall to a temperature near the CMB, i.e. 2.7 Kelvins.

> Now, the radiation heat transfer out of a black body will be: q = σ T^4 A, where q is the Watts of heat transferred, σ is the Boltzman constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and A is the surface area. Roughly: 5.6703e-8 x 293 x 0.1 for a GoPro camera. That's 1.66e-6 Watts.

In your calculation, you failed to take the fourth power of the temperature.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-body_radiation#Stefan.E2....

j = σ T^4 (j = radiated power watts)

= 5.67 * 10^−8 * 295^4 Watts from a "unit square", presumably a square meter, or about 430 watts.

Remember that three-dimensional objects lose their heat energy more quickly as they become smaller in size (because their dimensions decrease proportional to the square of their dimensions, but their volume declines as the cube). This means the GoPro camera, initially at room temperature, exposed to space would radiate away its heat energy very quickly.

The linked article suggests that a person (at body temperature and in a normal earthly environment) radiates away a net power of about 100 watts. Remember about this figure that is is a net (radiation minus absorption) for a person of about 2 square meters surface area at room temperature.

If we calculate the example of a person exposed to space (in shadow) directly without any heat inflow, the radiated power would be about 860 watts.

If a person were shaped like a GoPro camera (with the same density) and we scaled it down proportionally, the rate of heat loss would increase (even though the power would decrease) for reasons given above. That consumer camera would not be long for this world -- in fact, it would probably expire faster than the hapless human in the above example.

> So assuming we are in the shade and are not touching cold objects, the GoPro will come back at the exact temperature it left after a 30 minute space walk.

Do take the fourth power of temperature. See how that turns out. :)

You don't really have to track it. Just set a google calendar event for 10 years from now, and look back at the stock history then.

If somehow google services go away and you don't get that event reminder, the question may be moot by then... not really, but an interesting thought anyways.
the dividends are not related to stock price- although logically, dividend paying stocks should make a stock more valuable.

Dividends are just a portion of profits paid out to public investors. Companies that don't pay dividends on C class stock still pay dividends on other classes of stock.
One limitation with OpsWorks is that as far as I know, there's no option to use spot instances whereas it's not a problem with EC2 launch configurations for AutoScaling Groups. Also, ASGs and OpsWorks both have options for time and load-based scaling with different interfaces.

It's easy enough to understand how this happened as OpsWorks came about via an acquisition, but consistency would certainly be nice.

Assuming you're talking about success revenue-wise, Google has created at least three revenue-successful products: Search ads, their display ad network (i.e. display ads on different sites), and YouTube ads (i.e. display ads on their own site). (Note that this is ignoring the myriad smaller ads products they have that aren't as significant/massive revenue-wise). Calling these all "one product" is the same as saying "Apple makes revenue from only one product: sales to consumers". In fact I'd go so far as to say that these revenue streams are far more different from each other than, e.g. iPod/iPhone/iPad sales are from each other.
It's their duty to, though I think I understand.

I've taken some (calculated) risks quickly so as to avoid hand-wringing over details. Not so big as understanding if I'm personally liable for something, but I could easily believe people building a fast growing startup would.
"For every person in the world, there is a cost to recruit them into your organization as an attacker, which I postulate is low for young Arab men and high for Laotian grandmothers (and also high for 80-year-olds generally). Call this cost function COST(x)."

If you are including the cost of coercion in COST(X), then i strongly disagree with your theory that there is a huge cost differential between young arab men and 80 year old laotian grandmas.

Maybe you can explain why you believe there is?

It seems, for example, that holding the family member of an 80 year old grandma hostage is cheap and effective as a mechanism of recruitment.
GoPro is like Apple for fans; screw the price; I'm getting one anyways!

As of whether there are better solutions or not, I cannot attest. I will however tell you that a friend of mine working at BestBuy (Florida) told me they sell those like crazy. It is normal to sell five cameras a week from all major brands combined. It is normal to sell five of GoPros a day!

Their product seem top notch and going around reviews, they mostly seem to confirm. I am not sure, however what will they do with a buffer or cash? Their approach is we wont screw people over X amount of years and introduce new things into our devices; we go all the way in in version 1. That's goPro. Where will they go from here, not sure...
> while this one asks "how much would it have cost to buy the same amount of raw capability?"

Even that isn't really what it asks. If you wanted the raw storage capacity of an iPhone in 1991, you wouldn't buy 32GB of flash memory. You'd buy hard disks. 32GB of flash in 1991 would have been slow and poorly suited to the job.

Speaking of hard drives, a GB of storage was not $10K in 1991. It ranged from $4.25K to 2.79K during that year. http://www.jcmit.com/diskprice.htm You'd have to go back to 1988 to hit the $10K/GB price.

Actually, the latest version is just "GSM" (Gender and Sexual Minorities), because the practice of just adding more and more minorities to a long list is silly. The more you list, the more exclusionary it is to the ones you leave off, and yet something like LGBTQIAPK is a acronym-salad so extreme as to be self parodying.

Just say GSM at leave it at that; it includes every minority group from the LGBTQIAPK by definition, and all the others we might think up in the future.
If you want something which can be plugged into a random network somewhere in the world and be reasonably capable of phoning home HTTP is your best bet for being not being firewalled.

That's not so bad.

The difference in my mind is that Exxon is making money from natural resources that are not renewable and the cost for extracting oil is on the rise. If they don't reinvent themselves, they'll die. Google on the other hand is making money out of software. Software is the artifact of our own mind. So the way I see it - for companies such as Google or Apple, the sky is the limit. For Exxon, unless they reinvent themselves, there's nowhere they can go.

And btw, isn't it awesome that software/hardware companies are starting to dominate the Top 10?

We were also obsessed with our customer rating, that just didn't happen to be my job. It was tough to get happy customers to come back and give us 5-star ratings; people with bad experiences would come by and rate but those with perfect experiences never would. Or people who got a book in perfect condition, on time, would rate us 3-stars. What the heck did they expect?

Obviously, shipping on-time and good product is crucial too. Again, mostly just not my job.

So we were definitely working on the customer satisfaction angle as well, there just wasn't much that I could do about it, so I talk less about it.

It falls on the next day, but over time paying out dividends makes certain kinds of company stock more attractive.

Let's run an asymptotic example and say a company has $1000 in cash and $1 per share in profits. Since most of the company is cash you can't buy shares cheaper than $1000. But you might pay say 10x profit and thus the stock price is $1010.

If the company had paid out excess cash all along, the stock price would be $10 at 10x profit, and so every $10 you invest would give you a 10% return versus a 0.099% return. So investors absolutely do not want a mature company hoarding cash.

This situation is made worse because income investors would have pushed the price perhaps higher than 10x, but instead now punish you by paying less than 10x of profit.

You need to be incredibly transparent, especially since you're appealing to non-profits and to people's desire to give to non-profits. You need to be totally up front about the cut you are taking.

Well, you're missing the point of my (somewhat sardonic) post: if it's an (actual) firing squad, the distances involved (along with the latency for a human to pull a trigger, the time to target for the bullet[1] etc) are so different in order of magnitude from the speed of light, that it might as well be instantaneous (note also that there's a subtle feature in reflecting off the wall, as for a "sane" number of soldiers, it is possible to position them at an equal distance from the "signal spot" on the wall (and presumably the target[2] of the firing squad).

It's hard to imagine a system made up of (human) soldiers that give better (temporal) accuracy than this, by using a counter and relayed messaging.

I do of course realize that it's not the scenario that is problem to be solved, but the communication (and computation?) model of which it is supposed to be an example. Still think it can be useful to solve the (stated) problem, rather than trying to make the perceived model fit the actual problem -- when that model clearly has surplus complexity and/or artificial constraints.

[1] or with powerful laser weapons, time-to-death after "impact"? ;-)

[2] Now, assuming a single target might be a bad assumption. What if we want to kill all our intellectuals at once?

[edit: Almost forgot - another reason why a visual cue might be good in this case, is that it seems safe to assume that each soldier will aim at the target, presumably by some form of light-guidiance, so a visual cue relies on constraints already part of the system]

Without getting into the calculus, if we approximate that the heat transfer will stay constant for a short period of time, then in the first second, we will lose roughly 8.2 degrees. Yup, you are correct, the thing will be damn cold.
