Firstly, congrats! Big accomplishment in a short timeframe and Marin is definitely a leader in the space doing good things.

That said, I have a concern. PA was on my list of retargeting networks to check out along with AdRoll, Simpli.fi and maybe a couple others (mostly on the SRT side of things). However I'm also going to be in the market for a bid management platform in the near future, and while Marin is on my short list, so are DS3 and Kenshoo.

Will PA services and inventory remain available to customers who are NOT Marin customers in the future? Curious what sort of meaningful guarantees you can provide when I imagine the reality is that you could say one thing today, and if Marin changed their mind tomorrow, I'd be SOL. Not saying you'd lie or anything, but I know that in the real world a statement alone doesn't hold much weight when dollars start speaking, so I'm more interested in any tangibles with regards to company structure, product functionality, etc. that you can share that would be easier to put faith in.

Also, what can you tell us about customers' data being accessible to Marin if your customer is not a Marin customer? Is there any chance that audience data could be fed into an anonymized audience segment or something equivalent and leveraged by Marin customers (who might potentially be competitors)?
This is a very poorly written article (I'm amazed this is written by a physics professor). Static and kinetic friction is only a resistive force to a train if there is slippage between the wheels and the track.

-Assuming a no slip condition at the wheels, the friction will rotate the wheels not drag on the train/car.

-The reason why there is a gap/space in the train couplings is a tolerance/GD&T issue.

-Engine torque is almost always higher at lower speeds http://image.circletrack.com/f/enginetech/ctrp_1003_nascar_s... (this is why you have to down-shift when climbing a hill) and is what gets a vehicle moving.

Top commenter got it right:"The locomotive is accelerating itself and the cars, not overcoming the friction in the bearings. Axle bearings have pretty low friction (at least negligible compared to the inertia of a loaded car); if they didn't, they would get hot, the grease would melt"
TFA says he decided long ago that since he's waited this long, he can wait a little longer so that the first woman that sleeps with him cares for him. So I guess that excludes the well intentioned mercy fuck.

I see his logic, but I can't help but think that's a barrier, after all how will someone ever care for you if there's this gigantic barrier from the get go. I'm not female, but tbh I'd see as being as weird as finding out your date is some sort a member of a sec or a drooling fundamentalist.
Brad's one of the hardest-working people in show business. When he worked in Chicago, he was my reference example for friends of "hustle". I'm grinning ear-to-ear that this team had a good outcome. Congratulations! Richly deserved.
That's... not what statistical significance means. All statistical significance means is that there's a less than five percent chance of getting that result at random, if the null hypothesis were true. Now, granted, most studies reported on find p-values well below the .05 threshold. But still, if you go out and count the number of studies published in a year, one percent of them is still a LOT of wrong studies. And remember that, due to publication bias, it's a biased sample of the population of studies. So for every 100 studies that are examining a hypothesis that is in reality false, you'll get 4-5 that get a statistically significant finding instead. And it's those few studies that end up getting published.

I'm not misrepresenting what he wrote, I'm directly responding to it.

While you may not be aware with recent language development and modern LLVM-based languages in general, to me and many others what was announced at WWDC today wasn't just a set of buzzwords and marketing speak.

Anyone who has been into language design and watched the keynote today can make a pretty good guess about the properties of Swift. There's a book with hundreds of pages of examples and description of the language semantics on iBooks right now. I've been reading it before I posted. I've been playing with the beta Xcode as well.

Swift is not revolutionary in terms of its feature set. But what makes it quite interesting is the fact this is now an official language for Apple app development, and it's quite a bit ahead of Objective-C in... yes. Safety, performance and conciseness. Fact.
The python.org tutorial[0] is available in both 2 & 3, and is a perfectly great, but often overlooked, resource for learning the language.

I'm confused that you seem to think that my bullet points are ordered from most to least important. It seems like quite a strange thing to attack! I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I do not run these comments by a team of editors first. :)

That said, judging by your other comments, you seem to be of the impression that the Rust team has some sort of vendetta against Go, and have concocted a vendetta in kind. Again, I must sadly disappoint you, but I strive to encourage a culture of respect in all the forums that I visit (and moderate).
Our company is going to hire an intern from South Africa soon, I'm going to be involved deciding which applicant we accept.

"You'll find there's a direct correlation between available jobs for a career and people qualified or qualifying for that career that remain there."

It was for this reason I told my bosses it might be hard to find someone good, but they told me we're going to do it anyway, to see for ourselves, since the company plans to open an office there next year.

Do you have any advice on how to find and attract good programmers in Africa?

It was clarified during the "State of the Union" talk immediately following the keynote.

The video should be available on Apple's site (or if not, very shortly).
It seems perfectly serviceable, but I have to admit that my reflex response on opening the page was 'Oh god, another language?'

I can't tell if Apple is proposing this as a great new language everyone should use, or whether it's only intended for developers using Apple hardware and so represents a sort of lock-in strategy. I don't have an opinion on the language itself - it seems to have several neat features that make it easier/safer than competing languages like js, but presumably there are a few shortcomings as well.

Sure, three tips:

1/ Make your job student friendly and don't look for the usual 5+ years of experience

2/ Keep firmly in mind that the best trait in a programmer isn't necessarily qualification, but the ability to learn fast, and problem solve quickly and effectively.

3/ When multiple candidates fit the profile (above) but you're unsure, either give a final interview round with more extensive tests to clarify their abilities in those two areas. Or else hire all of them on trial basis. Make clear that at the end only one gets a job, but the other two get some paid temporary work and a really glowing letter of recommendation. It's win win, 1 gets a job, the others get invaluable work experience that's in short supply.

If I had those opportunities, I might be somewhere with a far better climate and a much cheaper and stress free life style :)

Edit: I just noticed you said South Africa and not Southern Africa. I don't think you'll have any trouble finding qualified programmers.
No, the blog engine was written in 2003 before the lowercase URL with hyphens thing started.
I follow some African programmers on twitter. They aren't totally unheard of. I suspect most emigrate to Europe or America to find work, and no longer identify as African Programmers.
Typing in the search field on iOS 8 will fetch web results as well, which means some web server is being hit with what you're typing. Spotlight on Yosemite is getting a similar feature as well.

You only have to be a paid developer to get the beta of XCode; once it comes out of beta, it'll be available on the Mac App Store for free.

That said, it'd be nice to see Swift get open sourced at some point.
I'm not sure what makes you think they won't release it; they typically release their LLVM work and the stuff they build on top of it at some point.

Surprisingly, if you assume a uniform distribution of deadliness independent of the names, you actually find that it's more likely that either 1 or 2 is true than that 3 is true

Right, but if you are a statistician what you should care about is the "distance" of either 1 or 2 from 3. It would not be surprising that one group is deadlier than the other, but it should be surprising if female hurricanes are "quite a bit" deadlier than male hurricanes (or vice versa), assuming this uniform distribution that you mentioned.
I hope ideas will flow the other way too, and Rust adopts some sugar from Swift.

I find `if let concrete = optional` sooo much nicer than `match optional { (concrete) => , _ => {} }`.

Rust has solid semantics that covers more than Swift. OTOH Apple has put their UX magic into the language's syntax. Some syntax shortcuts, like `.ShortEnumWhenInContext` are delightful.

The two combined will be the perfect language ;)
How can the word "ethical" ever describe a company that gets all of its money from advertising, the business of deception and manipulation, and then deepens its pact with the Devil by trading all of our privacy for more profit and control, a company whose CEO says things like, "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."?

> Static and kinetic friction is only a resistive force to a train if there is slippage between the wheels and the track.

No, static friction affects the train _until_ it starts moving. If there is any slippage or movement or anything, you've moved into the realm of kinetic friction, whether it be between the wheels and the track, or the axle and its bearings.

> Axle bearings have pretty low friction ... if they didn't, they would get hot, the grease would melt

Axle bearings have low _kinetic_ friction. They can, in theory, have a much higher static friction, and this is what needs to be overcome to get the train moving.

The thought occurred to me while reading this that there are probably lots of 33-year-old non-virgins who nevertheless have not had the caring relationship this man wants. I think the sex is irrelevant.

Although I'd have to advise this guy to just go get laid so it's not a sticking point in his relationships. And it's just fun. Go have fun with someone. It's sex, not a rocket launch.
A fair point, but as an African that emigrated and is naturalised, I still identify myself as very much African as opposed to anything else. I suspect most Africans have very strong identities in that respect, but I can only speak for myself.
I'd prefer to see how it fares in the real world before jumping to such conclusions like you seem to be so willing to do.

You may not have been around to experience it first-hand, but we heard a lot of claims made back in the 1990s about how Java and the JVM would increase security and safety.

The arguments made then even overlap with some of those being made in this case! The lack of direct pointer access and manipulation, automated memory management and better bounds checking are some examples of the arguments used then and now.

Yet if you work with computers at all, I'm sure you'd know that many of those claims did not materialize. Flaws have been found in the various implementations of Java and its VM, and these have affected its security and safety in very serious and significant ways, many times over.

Perhaps things are different in the case of Swift. But we won't be able to say for sure until later on, once it has undergone some significant real-world use.
I'd be interested in knowing where expensive hotels tend to provide free wifi? In China almost none of the hotels provided it for free or as an included service. That being said, many times I'd get it included in my rate if I pre-payed or booked ahead depending on the time of year and the promotions they were offering. But it wasn't just "free wifi" like many of the discount chains tend to offer here in the US and elsewhere.

I can't tell if you like Rust or hate it. If you hate it, and you are right, then it will simply fade away and your comments will serve nothing more than being able to say, "I told you so." If you are wrong, then you end up looking a bit silly.

If you like it, perhaps you should be a little patient and give the creators the benefit of the doubt. No one wants a Rust 3.0 fiasco.

It's hard to encounter language issues without implementing a large project in the language. I am happy that they're taking the time to let the implementation of Servo help inform the design of Rust.
The reason why the supplied link looks gaudy is because of the gaudy desktop image coming through the 'glass', not the actual glass effect itself.

Why is that comment getting voted down? Everything it states is true.

Including me, I think some syntaxes of Switft look like Go, while they actully don't share the same vision. Go tries to be a language great for system programming so it introduces channels, interfaces. But Swift want to help GUI programming and it needs the whole class system but without crazy stuffs like channels.

But for others aspects that are not related these two(class system, concurrency), I would say they look quite similar.
I believe Apple explicitly stated they were describing translucency and layers with iOS 7.

Both the Notification Center and the Control center on iOS "overlap" the screen through translucency. It could be argued that the parallax feature is also another attempt at differentiating layers within iOS, coupled with some of the animations i.e opening folders (also translucent), and multitasking.

That being said, I feel that iOS is unable to convey relationship of layers/overlapping windows well the way we are all accustomed to with desktop computers.
the problem is that these analytics are only beneficial to the owners or advertisers, which means if there's a way for users to turn off the supposed capability, then the advertisers would find a different way to do it, which results in much the same thing as today.

Right, that is an option, but it unfortunately involves some effort from the user. This is effort that wasn't needed before. In my opinion, having to expend this extra effort even just once ends up harming the user experience relative to what it was before.
Xcode 6 is currently in beta, the beta is part of the dev program. Just like the new Yosemite beta is part of the dev program.

They haven't publicly released it yet. Xcode 6 which includes Swift is currently part of the beta available as part of the Apple Developer Program.

That means it is still under NDA as well. Most likely after Xcode 6 is released publicly (i.e. available on the Mac App Store) they will do a code dump back to the LLVM project.
Would you be surprised if you won the lottery? Yes. I imagine you'd also be ecstatic. However, the likelihood of your numbers being chosen had equal probability (assuming the numbers are drawn uniformly at random) with any other set of numbers anybody else picked. If someone else had won the lottery instead of you, they would also be surprised.

Female hurricanes being 'quite a bit deadlier' than male hurricanes may well be surprising but it has equal probability with the event that male hurricanes are 'quite a bit deadlier' than female hurricanes.

What you're describing is a rare event. Rare events happen, just rarely.
But this isn't really a huge leap in technology. It's existing technology being supported by Apple. It makes adoption more likely, but still far from guaranteed.

I don't mean that they won't release it, but that they haven't indicated any intention to release it except as a binary thrown over the wall into their developer program. They just held a very big developer conference and made no mention of it being free or open-source. Their "LLVM work" up till this point has all been C and Objective-C stuff that's part of the LLVM Project and they have made a big point of that, so I don't really see how it reflects on this, which is not part of the LLVM Project and is not based on existing cross-platform languages where they're competing with other open-source tools.

A proprietary Swift even sort of makes logical sense. I could easily see Apple thinking that since Swift is intimately tied to its proprietary system frameworks, Swift should be proprietary too.
