"Separately, this week Yahoo continued its acquisition spree of small startups with the purchase of another mobile messaging company, MessageMe, according to two people familiar with the deal."

This is why activist hedgefunds are lining up to destroy Yahoo and make a buck. The board clearly complained about Marissa bailing out failed silicon valley startups for millions. Messageme was an unoriginal product created by people with a favorable track record but the actual product had nothing to offer users except growth hacking by using the facebook friends graph api. Spending millions on this aquihire makes no sense.

What Yahoo needs is a core product that is a big win, Marissa said Tumblr would bring this, but instead we have seen competition on mobile increase and time across social media and blogging apps fragment. We have seen them lose their weather app monopoly on ios and yahoo mail on mobile is not gaining traction. Across the hot core areas being, search, social, cloud services, document services, smart hardware and artificial/assisted intelligence, yahoo is nowhere to be seen. Yahoo needs to seize the initiative and focus on a core competency and win big.

Snapchat at a $10 billion valuation has too much risk for someone that needs a big win. It really seems like snapchat investors are running some kind of pump and dump scheme the way they pushing this valuation. As things stand Snapchat has to go public to make good on a $10b valuation.
That sounds like a bug, not a feature.
I know, and that's besides the point.

What I meant was that if he wanted to mirror, why didn't he send an email first? If there are hundreds of mirrors/rehost of your content, would you have to track down every one of them and contact them yourself?

The disclaimer is essentially claiming for a permission until requested otherwise, and moreover, putting the responsibility to the content owner. If the owner doesn't have time to track down every instance, it's his responsibility.

Of course it doesn't really matter for online contents, but the guy is feigning respect to the content owners; what he's doing is nothing of it.

> I don't mind the binary protocol that much, but the apparent assumption that every endpoint is a fat stateful cache (push, multiplexing) is madness.

A client can say it does not want push in the settings frame up front. And then it can make one request at a time, effectively avoiding multiplexing, although each frame in the response will have a 9-byte frame header (similar to the overhead in chunking today in 1.x).

By saying it does not want push, it relieves itself of having an object cache. It will still be on the hook for having an HPACK table as state. (In practice this will be coded once in each language in a library and most developers will never think about it.)

> Have they actually worked out how to implement a HTTP/2 front end cache in the face of ill-behaved clients, crashy servers, and the way wireless breaks a lot of the assumptions that would make "one big TCP session" a good idea in the first place?

The community has indeed been working on a corpus of interoperability libraries, servers, clients, and proxies:
https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/wiki/Implementations

> If TCP+TLS handshakes are so expensive, wouldn't it be a better investment of everyone's resources to work on an L3 protocol for setting up a fast second session? Leave the multiplexing to packet people.

It's multiplexing with declared weighting and dependency trees. So for example, the client can tell the server that it wants files A, B, C, and D, but to have B, C, D is useless until it has A, and once A is finished, the relative importance of B is twice as much as C or D. That's much easier to do on one socket.

Also one socket gets the header compression in HPACK to benefit from all the headers going through the same state engine. Giant sets of cookies (more common than we'd like to believe) are now more efficiently expressed.

One socket also helps the server-side keep statistics and logs more organized as related requests are together.

I understand your suggestion to do it on a lower level, and that's a fine idea, but I also understand why the working group did it on an HTTP layer, especially with SPDY as precedent.

I work at Akamai, and I'm one of the open source library contributors (the Common Lisp one). These opinions are my own.

True. IN my life the local big port has gone from not having a rail head, to having a rail head, to having a "port rail facility", and through several upgrades to that facility.
> I've reached the conclusion that the East Coast... "commuter" corridors are simply a different matter

I reached the same conclusion and have had similar experiences to your friends and family. 5 years ago I took the Charlotte-Raleigh train a handful of times over the period of a year or two. Only once was it on time when arriving at my destination, and only once did it depart from my departing station late (by an hour). The worst I experienced was about a 5 hour delay in-transit, putting the time at 2AM instead of 9PM.

I quickly dropped the train as a reliable mode of transportation.

Its going to entirely depend on the segment, Wal-Mart gets 55% of revenue from groceries apparently (I took some time to look at what fraction of groceries would be of overall retail sales, but couldn't find it). So I think a reasonable assumption is that a large chunk of retail sales are groceries. Another large chunk is going to be automobiles, which in some metrics get excluded; which are another large part of retail sales.

If you keep chopping away big parts that aren't conducive to e-commerce; the 6.40% is going to be a pretty big percentage. Small specialty stores are probably hit especially hard, to the point of being crushed; going out of business and making the e-commerce players a larger percentage of the market and thus more efficient, driving even more e-commerce in a positive feedback loop.
Assembler programmers of that vintage were crazy. I did a fair amount of reverse engineering of Honda engine computers[0] from the late 80's early 90's and this kind of thing was the status quo. These things had 256 _bytes_ of memory, and they used every single one, some of them being multiplexed to do multiple things.

Sorry, I was wrong at the first time it's not actually the minifier that deals with injection. It's a preprocessor called ng-min. You can use any minifier after that. It's been a while since I touched my grunt file. I stand corrected.

What's a dead reply? I wandered afk for a while and bing! there you are! Also I see my post below.
I recently did exactly the same, it's those times when everything with similar functionality depending on what context you are in blurs together because you should probably be outside, taking a walk, or staring at a tree.

However, reaching for one way of doing things when the justification for the other way of doing things is because you've seen them done that way more, is not really good justification. So maybe that blurry brain is a good brain sometimes, in retrospect.

You're right, quicksand all around.

However, the post illustrates an important feature I often see overlooked: the systems we build on top of are not just black boxes. We should not be afraid to really understand how they work, opening up source code, asking questions like, "what the heck is this /proc/NUMBER section of the filesystem?" And I think this post illuminates that in a pretty fun way.

> At this point, she explained, most drivers were driving for both Lyft and Uber, and everyone was really just hanging on and waiting for the moment when Uber will inevitably emerge victorious, purchases Lyft, and raises their rates back up to more reasonable levels.

Since when has consolidation ever been a better deal for the counterparty? The only reason the percentage that uber/lyft take is so low is because they're competing. If Uber takes over Lyft, expect both higher ride prices and lower driver compensation.

We're using the same generator for a large government app. "Widget" partials are stashed in their respective folders under /widget while /services, /directives, and so on are contained in the root folder. HTML/CSS/JS stored in each folder. It's all super organized and modular IMO. Of course it helps to be working with the creator of said generator.

Drone technology is advancing at an impressive pace. I think we're going to see some interesting (and terrifying) applications.

For example: Add some face detection software, then change the payload to a laser dazzler and pepper spray cartridge. Now you have a drone that can temporarily incapacitate people. When these get cheaper (say $100 per unit), a police department could buy a swarm of 1,000 for $100k. Whenever a riot breaks out, just unleash the drones (geofenced to the desired area). Instant crowd control.

Like I said, interesting and terrifying.
Oh come on :-)

You're telling me that you've never - under tremendous pressure - hacked things that quickly "handle" something - and then forgotten about them till much later?

Jeez, tough crowd :-)

I don't need shown a rough edge.

Well, most people do. They're biological organisms and all full of emotions and quirks. For instance, did you know that if you laugh at people's jokes, they tend to be more open to your ideas? True story. Does that make any sense at all? No.

In the same way, leadership isn't just about your position on an organizational chart. Sometimes you need to be stern when someone is out of line. You need to be assertive with your ideas, not just express them and expect people to understand their merit. It gets complicated.

It's not enough to be technically right or "in charge." You have to recognize that we're a bunch of apes building computer software. It's been an evolutionary blink of an eye since our intelligence and social structures became sufficient to farm and live in large groups. We're pack animals.

If you could summarize good engineering management in a sentence, I think it would be, "Treat people like people." The engineering part doesn't even factor into it until you've got everyone acting like decent human beings.

Hmm, also on x86 in order to be able to access more than 4 GiB of physical memory there was a new paging mode, Physical Address Extension, that makes the pages 4MiB in size, that might have affected that as well but I doubt it. However this mode is required when entering long mode.

I use the system and it's just exactly like Wattpad except it has Forums.

It is not destined to do well, IMHO. I tried giving away access codes to my 250,000 Twitter followers and only two people wanted one.

The idea that authors have time to write AND read and comment on other people's work is flawed. Many writers struggle to find time just to write, never mind comment on other people's work.

Plus, did Amazon even consider whether the world needs another (not better, just different) Wattpad?
That's why even the rich get more annoyed when inequality rises. They see those making more than them pulling away. The knee jerk reactions to this tend to make the problem even worse (eg. lower taxes, justified by reducing social security).
I think the nature of everyday items would have to change for 3D printing to compete. For example, imagine a technology that scans your body in 3D and then makes that shirt you like, but with its dimensions customized to the dimensions of your body.

Clothing sizes today are a messy approximation of what people actually want. It's a compromise between the ROI possible in a mass-production, mass-transport world, and the perfect fit.

News and music used to be produced and distributed like clothes--centralized production of a limited number of product options, which are then shipped to lots of people. Today people can completely customize their news and music consumption through a wide variety of dynamically personalized channels.

Personal manufacturing can do the same thing for tangible goods. But the current "3D printing" technology, which is extremely limited in terms of materials, size, durability, etc.

Wet plate photography was supplanted by technologically better dry-plate methods in the 1880's. Yet there are periodic revivals of interest in the older ways. It's fascinating how such "ancient" art techniques never really die.

Of course, when "reborn" the results aren't quite the same. The new wet-plate images bear the stamp of our modern and superior optics and other beneficial present-day technologies. The "hybridization" of old and new creates something novel and can lead to new forms of artistic expression.

Digital photography is ascendant, but film will never completely disappear. Vinyl records still have fans. Acrylic paint is quite new, water-based forms invented just 50 years ago. Chemically far superior to oil paints, yet some painters still prefer oils (in use for 700 years).

Egg tempera goes back a thousand years, casein was used by the ancient Egyptians and fused glass by the Romans. Popularity of these techniques waxes and wanes, but never ceases altogether.

It's healthy to try our hand at our predecessors' crafts. It stimulates creativity, as well highly entertaining and educational. It gives us greater appreciation of what we have now, and stronger connection to our common history.
Because doing good cannot be made coherent with making money? Or that you have to optimize for one or the other? This seems quite limiting and contrary to human history as well.

This is a joke for two reasons:

1) They don't raise their subscription price, yet keep claiming ridiculous inflation. Their subscription numbers don't change enough to keep up with what they claim either.
