Thanks for the feedback! The purpose of the book is to feature complete integration of various libraries and frameworks with a backend. Laravel is chosen as an example framework so that the developer can have a complete solution instead of just some theory.

In the prerequisites to the book it clearly states that novice developers will have a hard time unless they have some backend experience.
I'd love to see someone scrape all of these comments (since they're provided in convenient tabular form, might as well!) and analyze them to see if there is any interesting data to be seen.

Just browsing through a couple, some people give one-liners but a few comments are all-out, nearly essays. I assume the FCC doesn't read all of these. Do they just use a program to analyze these comments, and gauge overall content?

1) Lobbyists are hired guns not true believers or activists. There is no reason to believe he is still beholden to them or something.

2) He worked for cable in until 1984. Cable wasn't even operating in internet then.

3) Most of his tenure when he was a cellular and internet lobbyist was in trying to get more spectrum for wireless use.
There is a lot about the wording of this that I really like. It clearly acknowledges the real cause of the problem, which is basically locally rigged markets, and actually suggests a solution that won't simply help entrench the incumbents through increased regulation similar to price and quality fixing.
A better idea is to write a technical blog post about a unique feature of your site. (Bonus poits for nice graphics or photographs.)

For example read: http://blog.wolfram.com/ All the blog can be resumed as "You can do a lot of calculations and nice graphics with Mathematica" But many of the individual post have interesting information (and nice graphics) and got a lot of points https://hn.algolia.com/?q=wolfram.com#!/story/forever/0/blog...

As a challenge I wanted to see how hard it would be to circumvent this. Here's a bookmarklet:
javascript:void(function(s,i){for(i=0;i<s.length;i++)if(window.getComputedStyle(s[i]).color=='transparent')s[i].style.display='none'}(document.getElementsByTagName('span')))

That should be one line with no spaces if gets line wrapped.
It's not that simple. It's not clear that the maze is copyrightable in the first place.

I doubt he has the resources to fight it if they choose to fight. He would basically be hoping they would give him a settlement just to make him go away.

Filing a lawsuit just to get a settlement when you can't actually fight on the merits is not considered positive behavior (although it can be lucrative).
I don't know when that happened, but when I had DSL about, oh 6 years ago, they practically begged me to sign up with MSN. I think they got a commission for it. I chose just to go straight with the company who owned the equipment, my phone company.
Could've been raining that day. Or it may be US/NY specific... I have only been to west coast, but coming from Europe I was really surprised what's considered a "walking distance" in the city centre. 2 blocks away and people were ready to get a cab.

Then again, the cabs were probably 5+ times cheaper than what I was used to in the UK. Maybe I'd use them more if it cost me $5, not £10 to go around 10 blocks away. One is close to spare change, the other I'd have to think about...

Looks like a nice upgrade, more USB ports. The additional I/O might be in response to the Beaglebone Black taking share but video has consistently been better with the Pi. I've got a number of both and they each have their uses.

I've been whacking on a USB host driver for the Cortex M4 in my not very copius spare time and it amazes me how much the Pi manages to get done being handicapped like that. The difference between "old" computers where the system designer was making every effort to make I/O flow through the system as effectively as possible, and the Pi has a system where polling for I/O is part of the design spec. And not done well like the channel controllers of old, no done in a very inefficient way. Amazing what ubiquity will force upon folks :-)

It seems to me that if it makes info stored from previous session available to the Private Browsing session then it is not so private.
Interview with Jim Jacoby, Founder of ADMCi (School for Digital Craftsmanship)
The same way they happen with unregulated providers: some government actor has to step in and provide incentives.

We've already seen that expecting multiple last-mile physical providers everywhere is impossible due to cost reasons and the fact that land lines are a natural monopoly, therefore you'll have to manage it as such in the face of absence of normal market pressures.

It's still a better scenario than the current situation in the US
I had to stop and check where this guy works. 2 companies I know of have just moved to something fairly similar.

A request is turned into a JSON message pumped into a queue with a signature declaring the type of message it contains, service discovery reads from the queue and allocates a service to handle it, shuffling it onto another queue (and if necessary spinning up the service). The service picks up the queued item, processes it and hands it back where the new message may be the response (in which case it gets handed back) or another service call (in which case discover the handler and assign it to a queue).

It's SOA based on messaging and a basic pipeline. Except they don't call it that.

Thankfully the applications in question do not have low response time as a core criteria.

I'm sometimes surprised that this model of userbase generated code and content hasn't caught on more with modern MMORPGs. An MMO where the players could graduate to creating their own areas with player voting for the best creations could potentially be killer.

It seems like the big developers are willing to a degree (HUD coding, add-ons, interface wrappers) but not direct creation of content. Admittedly, its a lot of modularity and tools you'd need to both build into the main game, and find a way to make intuitively accessible to your players. But, that would probably drive some neat language development as well, since you'd either need to require they learn something like Lua or Python, or develop a very smooth way to write valid in-game code.

>utility-grade results

Hopefully not gas-delivery grade results. 5-10% of methane delivered via mains in the UK is lost to atmosphere. Similar leakage rates are found in the US, sometimes much worse. The main (heh, no pun intended) source of these leaks are cast iron pipes that are over 100 years old.

And unlike the Internet, when those things fail, things literally explode.

This article (which I enjoyed) reminded me of a paper [1] I co-authored a long time ago about protecting 3D content using a remote rendering system. The big advantage that we had over 2D content (images) is obviously that we never gave clients a full representation of the protected asset.

From a brief look at the data it looks like cash tips might be counted as 0%. So that 12% average might be originally closer to 25%, but brought down by the nulled out cash tips.
What to do when the client is 2 days late on payment?
So, I've issued the invoice last Monday, it is now the following Monday. Bare in mind, there is a clause in the contract that states they have 5 days to pay the invoice otherwise they will be charged additional percentage per day late.

The invoice was due to be paid on Saturday, and they are two days late. On the Saturday I sent them a reminder that the payment was due - and I've also just sent a notice that the payment is late, and if there is anything I can do to assist them in making the payment.

I haven't received a response yet - any ideas on what I should do in this case? I've had no problems with them before but I'm getting a bit worried as this is un-like them.

Thanks!
Seems like this data could be used to build an app that suggests where a taxi driver should go at any given time to maximize their chances of getting a fare. Uber & Lyft already do this for their drivers, but I'm not aware of any app that does this for NYC yellow cabs.
If he didn't contact Kraft how would they ever be made aware of it? It's not like there was a giant company meeting where the CEO said "This guy. I want you to steal his maze design and put it on our mac and cheese."

It was 1 designer tasked with putting a maze on it that did a google image search and came up with that result.

That by no means exonerates Kraft, but it can be helpful to put things in perspective sometimes. I would be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, that if someone in a position to actually do something about it was made aware that they had mass produced copyrighted materials, they would be willing to offer a reasonable fee. However actually getting in touch with that person may be challenging without legal action.
This personally gives me another good impression on MSFT since Nadella took the helm. Took them long enough to come around to it, but this sort of mentality could do them well.
I was wondering the same thing, but as they just average the location from the last dropoff to the next pickup, it's almost definite that the driver "went to lunch" in the interim. I saw this trend in the two taxis I looked at.

This is news? For grins and giggles I booted a liveimage of the norton recovery / scan tool on a hotel business center machine and the thing had viruses that had been detected and cleared 6 years earlier. Not to mention it was running XP and that version of XP wasn't patched at all (there was a service that was blocking windows update, the PC couldn't actually get to the Microsoft IP addresses) I pointed it out to the management, got yelled at for booting a different OS, and a surly 'promise' to have their 'IT guy' look at it.

I've also found machines at VRBO rentals that were compromised. So far I've not found any that had their wireless routers replaced with MiTM routers but I expect that isn't too far down the road.

Unless you already live in a very densely populated area[0], I don't think there's any reasonable chance of that happening for most people, whether we go the Title II route or not.

Title II is better than the alternative, but having gigabit speeds for most households is quite a ways off no matter how we do it.

We all seek approval and validation from others; it's a fundamental part of the human experience. We all care about the part of ourselves that others see because it's only a part - a tiny fraction.

"The truth is you’ve already heard this. That this is what it’s like. That it’s what makes room for the universes inside you, all the endless in-bent fractals of connection and symphonies of different voices, the infinities you can never show another soul. And you think it makes you a fraud, the tiny fraction anyone else ever sees? Of course you’re a fraud, of course what people see is never you. And of course you know this, and of course you try to manage what part they see if you know it’s only a part. Who wouldn’t?"

But yes, your database stores the status of a message. At this point you could drop every single message on your queue and have enough information to resend them. Each message could have its own resend (SLA) semantics.

Amazon Simple Workflows is an implementation of this pattern: http://aws.amazon.com/swf/. I've never used SWF but the docs are great food for thought.

[edit]

Also might be of interest to watch Rich Hickey's 'Language of the System'. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROor6_NGIWU&feature=kp -- there are a few versions of this talk, not sure if this is the exact viewing I saw). The talk is not really about queues, but he tries to break things up a bit. You need a data store, you need a queue, etc. As soon as a queue tries to have durable messages it is becoming a database and has all of the problems a database has to deal with. Instead you could keep data storage being solved by the data storage provider and let queues focus on passing messages.

This raises the issue of how to deal with dropped messages, but that can be solved without durable queues (like that paper describes / SWF / etc).

The electricity and water systems don't benefit from their component costs being cut in half every few years. This isn't some situation where people just unreasonably expect better service for no reason, the technology gets better and cheaper.

Furthermore, Internet bandwidth is not a commodity like electricity or water. There's no supply to diminish. What the telecoms want to do is more like if suburban streets were toll roads, Amazon owned the toll roads, and Amazon wanted to add a "congestion" charge for trucks carrying non-Amazon packages.
Forced leasing of the last mile nor any kind of actual competition doesn't solve the problem, and the US wireless market is far from healthy.

Half of this article is still free-market wishful thinking.

The Netherlands, where there are plenty of ISP's to choose from, made Net Neutrality law exactly because the mobile providers "magically" nearly simultaneously announced plans for breaking net neutrality. (And after net neutrality became law, they all decided to raise their data prices.)

In a market with a limited number of players (and there will always be a limited number of players, regardless of regulation), it's way too easy to form informal cartels. A free market doesn't mean we magically don't need consumer protection or civil rights.

Also "wireless Internet is good"? All mobile services in the US are overpriced, suck balls and generally exploit the lack of regulation in a way that would see consumers in most other countries revolt.
Its not the articles, its the platform (and its aesthetics). Medium is not meant for things like code samples and shoehorning them in leads to these fullwidth blocks which are hard to read. The fullwidth images and embeds are also somewhat annoying.

Just a few observations over time for quick taxi rides aside from weather and transporting a heavy item.

- Often times rides are paid on the time of a company so people will just expense it.

- If someone, say a relator, has a client, they might opt for a taxi.

- Models will take a taxi even if their destination is only a few blocks away due to their high heels.
It's evident to me that the current notions of the "Threshold of originality" lag far behind the capabilities of today's media. Just because something is mechanically produced shouldn't mean that it can't be copyrightable. That said, it's pretty foolish to copyright something like that. I just don't think I can determine that it would always be foolish to copyright such information, so the conservative choice would be to leave the copyright in the hands of the meta-creator.
What's happening when I see a green blob which then turns red a few seconds later? The cab hasn't moved, but the passenger count and fare tally have both gone up. The cab then moves at a normal pace from that location to the next fare, so I don't think it's missing GPS data.

Edit: just saw another comment saying the points were calculated through a Google API, so maybe it's just gremlins in that.
