It would be really nice if Crunchbase study from AngelList
Specifically Top Page and Companies
https://angel.co/companies

Top page requires too many efforts. Clicking dot to find Funding rounds? Hhh ... and next I should click to get new info.

It would be really nice if I can just scroll down to get the same info.

How about working more on responsive design?

Too many pages to scroll see the info which might be perfectly seen on PC.

Hope Neo4J engine behind is for good and will active some nice API features in the future.
Further, they've had the surge confirmation feature since at least March 2012:

http://blog.uber.com/2012/03/14/clear-and-straight-forward-s...

I've only used the service a few times so I don't remember if this has changed, but I can't imagine they would have dropped that confirmation.
Take a look at Tomahawk player (http://www.tomahawk-player.org/), which supports dynamic playlists. It uses Echonest to generate them.
Perhaps the type-it-in confirmation bit, but they've been very plainly notifying users of surge pricing since at least 2012:

You're being a little pedantic. It's usually understood to refer to US citizens by just about everyone outside the USA as well, not just US citizens themselves.

Why Python 2.7 only? This looks like it would be Python 3 code if you simply changed

print str(err)

to:

print(str(err))

Except, that's a pretty unhelpful thing to print. I believe a much better statement to put there, in Python 2 or 3, would be:

Coincidentally, I just released a Sonos CLI NPM package over easter [1] that builds on some work done by others [2]. It is targeted primarily at circumventing the Spotify search functionality in the Sonos app, that more often than not times out and fails to give results. I just started using it at the office for quick playback control, and it takes away a lot of the frustration I have with the app.

I was thinking more how branch prediction is handled in the pipeline. Agner Fog states that on Haswell having branches in the same 16 byte block affects performance. Probably not enough to matter though.
The infamous - survivorship bias :-o
From the link provided by chasing above (http://projects.ict.usc.edu/mxr/diy/fov2go-viewer/), it appears that the commercial potential of the original idea was recognized. If the patent was properly written, then almost certainly there would be royalties payable to the inventors. They may not be large, though, depending on which bits of fov2go were "obvious" and which innovative.
This is actually a great suggestion. If you are a dog person it can bring a lot of joy, amusement and companionship. The thing that sucks though is that they very short lives. My lhasa apso did live to be 17 years, but this is unusual for most other dog breeds.

It isn't as much about the coercion as the consistency: the division case returning a float when given integers is fine if the division operator always does that. Some languages (VB being an example; I wish more were) have a "string concatenation" operator that is separate from numeric addition; 1 & 2 is always going to be "12".
I dunno, syntactically it resembles Forth quite a bit, what with : ; for defining words and () for comments and all that. Anyway, I have no problem whatsoever with high-level abstractions in Factor, nor with its concatenative nature, nor with its macros and so on. I know all these features from other languages. What I want is a just description of how these high-level things map to assembly, I guess. For example I just learned that: "Internally, a quotation is a pair, consisting of an array and a machine code entry point. The array stores the quotation's elements" - this is a kind of definition I want for all the abstractions in Factor. It's probably best to go through Slava Pestov blog and pick up such scattered descriptions, but I'd really appreciate if someone prepared a single article with all these definitions.

Not to detract from this individual's experience, but a close friend of mine was given money back when her Uber driver didn't take the most efficient route. This happened two weeks ago and the kicker is that it was completely unprompted by her. She was happy with the service she received and they emailed her to refund her money she hadn't asked for. She's now sold on Uber, Lyft, Sidecar, et al.

$357 is completely exorbitant. My longest Uber ride was to the airport. A black car picked me up and drove the 30 or so miles and it didn't cost me more than $100. I can't fathom why the ride in this posting was as expensive as it was. My experience and that of my friends has been exceptional.
As an owner of a $2k+ Thermomix (which can do sous-vide in a very confined and limited fashion) this interests me and $400 doesn't seem outrageous if it can become a regular tool in the kitchen. I do wonder how much is covered by a slow-cooker though.

Going on the TM, my concerns would be cleaning (doesn't seem like a big issue) and how much of a meal it can actually do.

With the Thermomix, we found it went from gimmick to regularly used device quickly enough - marinades, sauces, pureed baby food, mashed potato, etc. Besides weigh, heat, blend, etc it can also work to a set temperature (though with broader increments) and I eventually tried some steak sous-vide. Vacuum sealed bag, into the basket (to prevent the blades from rupturing the bag) and away it went. It worked OK though the steak obviously needed to be seared at the end. That left me rinsing the TM and still having to wash the pan/griddle, etc.

If you still need to prepare/cook your sides, I wonder how much time has truly been saved? I've had reasonable success with the slow-cooker too: one-pot dish so cleaning is easy, sides aren't much of an issue, etc.

I imagine that the value in Mellow will come once the community strengthens and people work out a set of go-to recipes that minimise other mess and prep.
You should look in webmaster tools if you want to understand how to use schema in SEO results. I've found things like Events are well supported and relatively easy to mark while things like product offers and reviews are more inclined to be ignored (or intermittently held to higher unpublished standards?) by google probably due to their high utility for abuse.

Personally, I mark everything I think is meaningful to a human and check that google thinks it is validly formed and how they would display it, but I don't rely on whether they do. With good and consistent metadata, Client side code+CSS can be a bit cleaner and better abstracted and it seems to help a little in the long tail of search engines/aggregators, etc.
A colleague recently went through that as well, a (JS) graphing package would sometimes display bar charts with an incorrect scale (it would pick the wrong maximum value, so part of the bars would be cut off).

Turns out the package expected numbers, but sometimes a bug meant the data source would give arrays (of a single number each), the package's own max (using <) would perform a lexical comparison (comparison would coerce to string and a graph with a value at 800 and one at 1800 would pick a y-scale for 800 and cut off 1800) but further operations would coerce to number, so there was no error anywhere and most graphs looked correct.
Anarchy as used in the lay press, and as used by the anarchist movement, are not the same thing.

The lay meaning is more akin to "chaos" or "disorder".

An-archy comes, literally, from "no ruler" or "no hierarchy". There are numerous definitions but it's best understood as an order arising out of interactions among equals.

That to my mind is its key disadvantage: there are no equals, and in the Libertarian context, there's a vast overt blindness (which I suspect is a covert strategy) toward the power which accrues from wealth.

Noted by Adam Smith himself: “Wealth, as Mr. Hobbes says, is power.” (Wealth of Nations)

Disclosure: I am neither an anarchist nor libertarian.

It's be interesting to compare these results to apparent time, e.g. the offset between what the watch says and the position of the sun. I'd wager these distributions would overlap a lot more if you based them on apparent time, and I'd suspect a strong correlation between the outliers in this study and the offset between apparent time and wall time.

Seemed like an interesting project, clicked on the linked scanned the page an it seems to be an empty pointless web page trying to explain over pages worth of scrolling that it allows to deal with text trapped inside images which I already knew when I clicked the link.

Going back to the page after closing it once, I noticed written in smaller characters that this somewhat pointless page is for a useless extension as it is exclusively limited to the worst offender privacy wise of a web browser that I would not touch with a stick. google chrome is the new internet explorer to me as its main use is to download firefox.

In conclusion this looked promising but a confusing web page and browser lock-in renders it useless and shows that it is far from doing what it claims.

Don't settle ... unless you can.

Some business processes/problems can handle eventual consistency. Banking is the classic (and perhaps un-expected) example. You can overdraw your account, there are processes to go back and solve conflicts. Some are automatic, some are manual some are legal.

Bitcoin at the blockchain level is eventually consistent, just wait 10 minutes or whatever the current time it (I don't use it personally just know about it) and then you can be fairly sure of the validity of the transaction. There are built-in incentive to assure histories will converge. But, wallets kept at some exchange should _not_ be eventually consistent. Should _not_ be able to take 100x more than your wallet holds and send it to someone else. There is no regulatory, automatic of any other kind of framework to revert transactions that went through.

There is crdt (a commutative replicated data type) research. So these are data types that an always solve inconsistencies should they arise and instead of diverging they auto-converge, in face of conflicts. Think set union operation or max() function.

These kind of trade-off will percolate up through your data layer into your business problem. For some cases you'd want to pick one, for some pick another.
The adjective that should usually be used for that stereotype is 'camp'. Plenty of gay men aren't camp, and plenty of camp men aren't gay.
While it generally makes sense to enrich data on websites with such metainformation, Google made the idea much less appealing to us when they decided they'd steal our merchant reviews in order to display them on their (competing) product search / price comparison pages. Who wants to become a pure content provider (with mostly Googlebot traffic) for Google's future cash cows?

Don't get me wrong - I'm very much in favor of accessibility and mashing up of publicly available information, it would greatly benefit everyone if this was easier. But I'm not going to follow a trend (and instructions) set by a monopolist who has only his own revenue in mind and strongly opposes similar openness for his own data (all of which is actually collected from elsewhere...).

Again: I used the term "full sized prototype" in the first comment. Which is not exactly what Asimov wrote. The remaining possible show stoppers are less plasma physics and more mechanical, which is certainly better than what Asimov predicted.

(I wrote repeatedly that the main thing missing from the planned prototype to be a prototype power plant is a heat exchanger, like most every other power plant that heats a medium. It boggles incredibility to assume you failed reading that.)

Java raises an exception. If you handle it in code, the app does not crash. The crash is a consequence of failure to handle and recover from the exception.

Granted, it is very rare that you can/should recover from nullpointer or OOB exceptions anyway. What you can do though is try to clean up things, show a polite message and shut down the application in a semi-controlled way.

"Preventing crashes" isn't the best description of Rust's novel protection systems. In my opinion, the best part is providing guarantees about data integrity and security, e.g. preventing heartbleed type read-overruns and preventing data races in concurrent code due to shared mutable state.

I didn't mean that it is "x = x || y", I meant "it's completely ad hoc".

For example, if you try "x || x = y" you will get an exception if x is not defined, but "x ||= y" will work fine. The same is true of constants "X || X = 1" will explode while "X ||= 1" will work fine.

As an "American" from the South, and having friends in both Central and North, we constantly make fun of the fact that we can't call ourselves Americans the way Europeans and Asians do.

So now we wait for the reaction from ISO and ANSI.

I have yet to see any reaction from either organisations regarding the standards ANSI X9.82, Part 3 and ISO/IEC 18031:2005 both of which includes Dual_EC_DRBG.

NIST rightfully gets a lot of blame and shame for not reacting to Dual_EC_DRBG in a timely manner. But ANSI and ISO standardized Dual_EC_DRBG before NIST and AFAIK has been very numb (and deaf and blind) the whole time. Would love to be proven wrong.

Exactly! I've build that prototype and I can tell you it's not very useful. Palmer started working on his own HMD (occulus) because he saw how limiting that research prototype was.

Add me to the list. The other day I was debugging some simple Python code that worked something like

return 10000 if x > 10000 else x

and it wasn't working because x was a string. Instead of raising an exception, though, Python decided that all strings are "greater than" all integers, and code was essentially equivalent to

return x
It's planned that all modifications to music files would be on a "suggested library improvements" pane. In other words, Groove Basin would propose actions such as writing the updated tags you just typed in to the music files, and the user would accept or reject these proposals.

This seems to be a problem that markets will solve pretty well: as the resource gets scarcer, the price will go up, meaning people will have an incentive to use it more efficiently (selling unused address space), and/or look for alternatives (IPv6).

Haha, I'm laughing at that statement. You do realize that NATs merely extend the address space by mapping connections to computers with non-public IPs onto a uniquely identifiable port number? So depending on the average number of concurrent connections operated per peer, NATs won't be able to extend the IP4 address space by more than, say 12 bits.

Quoted text below from this source:
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/300997-ok-now-let-s-have-som...

OK, now let’s have some fun. Let’s talk about sex. Let’s talk about women. Freud said he didn’t know what women wanted. I know what women want. They want a whole lot of people to talk to. What do they want to talk about? They want to talk about everything.

What do men want? They want a lot of pals, and they wish people wouldn’t get so mad at them.

Why are so many people getting divorced today? It’s because most of us don’t have extended families anymore. It used to be that when a man and a woman got married, the bride got a lot more people to talk to about everything. The groom got a lot more pals to tell dumb jokes to.

A few Americans, but very few, still have extended families. The Navahos. The Kennedys.

But most of us, if we get married nowadays, are just one more person for the other person. The groom gets one more pal, but it’s a woman. The woman gets one more person to talk to about everything, but it’s a man.

When a couple has an argument, they may think it’s about money or power or sex, or how to raise the kids, or whatever. What they’re really saying to each other, though, without realizing it, is this:

“You are not enough people!”
There's no other word in English to say "from the US". When I'm talking with my Latino friends who don't like me using the word "American", I just say "gringo". But that obviously doesn't work well for general usage.
