DoorDash should team up with Uber, Lyft et al. Or the other way around, Uber or Lyft could do what DoorDash does.

On another note, home delivery has been in Japan for many years, but there, the density of population makes it feasible - someone at the restaurant just loads the trays of food onto a special spring-suspension tray holder on his bicycle and makes the delivery. After finishing the meal, the recipient leaves the trays, dishes, and bowls outside for pick up the next day. Usually, there is no extra charge, and tipping isn't common in Japan, so it's a good deal.

"All together, the technical potentials can be estimated to be:
Solar electricity: 89,000 TWc · (1-0.708) · (1-0.0345) · (0.3) = 7,500 TWc
Solar fuels: 89,000 TWc · (1-0.708) · (1-0.0345) · (0.1) = 2,500 TWc
Solar thermal: 89,000 TWc · (1-0.708) · (1-0.0345) · (0.225) = 5,600 TWc

These are huge potentials, dwarfing by many orders of magnitude those of the other."
> Critical thinking and problem solving do not require programming with control flow

Ya bad choice of words. Control flow requires critical thinking and problem solving (but critical thinking and problem solving is not always about control flow).

Hmm. Though, I guess if you go way deep, every decision we make is based on two or more options.

> These people are certainly capable of critical thinking, abstraction, problem solving etc.

Ya. But the way they think critically, their internal mental model, might be totally different than how you are I think. So, we all may come to the exact same conclusion. Just through a very different thought process using different abstractions to represent that critical thinking.
Leap seconds can be positive or negative (never happened) and are irregularly announced up to two times a year.

The wikipedia article on leap seconds[1] is worth reading and has this[2] great figure showing the variations of day length over the years due to various astronomical factors. It also shows how these small deviations slowly desync UT1 and UTC (red line), and that this issue cannot be solved by a linear scaling.

I don't trust SolarCity!!! I filled out their application once in Home Depot. One item I filled was my pg&e monthly cost, after that, for the next 6 months, I got constant targeted email ads and almost daily telemarketer call started with my pg&e bill amount - as if that will make me trust them.

The pg&e # only let me know right away who sold my private info to the telemarketers.

For such company who sold me email, phone, pg&e bill info to 3rd parties, I have NO respect for them and will absolutely won't ever do any business with them ever again.

> apprenticeships are typically something a person engages in during their teens or 20s, and therefore, whatever is learned during that apprenticeship, the skills can potentially be out-of-date 20 years later.

This is strictly a cultural bias, in the same way in the US apprenticing at all is antagonized, and can easily change.

I know you mean that Germany has that cultural perception still but still has higher employment matching, I'm just saying it is not a technical problem that you can only apprentice in your early years.

This seems the best thing to do to distinguish your app from spyware. Even if you published it with the best of intentions, you've gotta admit that the features of the app can be abused to spy on the users without their knowledge. If you can reliably alert the user that they are being monitored, maybe that could help get the app approved again? For example, every X days, there is an alert stating that the app is installed and is monitoring website visits.

I'm surprised there's no mention of the relationship between time and the origin of the metric system in this article. Interestingly enough, it takes a 1-meter pendulum 1 second to swing from side to side, no matter how high you raise it. Mechanical clocks relied on pendulum motion to keep time, and so the meter was created (at least partly) to standardize the size of the pendulum needed to create an accurate clock! Now that's an interesting story.
I really don't see how the second option change anything for your neck, on the opposite it is pretty clear on the picture that it won't change.
However the second setup will allow you to be perpendicular to the screen on a wider area, reducing the average angle between your eye and the screen surface. It might be more comfortable for some people from a perspective point of view, but not for the neck.

This would mean that on one hand (literally) you count the phalanxes (12), while on the other hand you use a completly different system and count your fingers (5).

Perhaps the regulators should be rewarded with the kind of money that they'd never need to work again if they uncover significant violations, and the company should be fined a similar amount and shut down, with involved people put in prison? Seems like a solution.

Also, you'd get a lot of very zealous people applying for those jobs. Heck, you could probably quadruple the inspection teams just with people willing to take low salary and treat it like playing the lottery.

I googled it and the US does OK with schools, at least in regards to funding:

Another example would be health insurance. The US is approaching 20% of GDP and they are not getting anything for it (Germany 10%, UK 7.5%, numbers out of my head). Until Obamacare, only around 80% of the US population had coverage and they the US population had a lower life expectancy than the UK or Germany. China would never let run things so out of hand.

(After Germany and the US, I live now in China. This makes me reflect on a lot of things. Not all is good here but here are opportunities. I regret that I did not come earlier to China.)
Germans have trade unions all over the place and a commitment to lifelong employment. So they don't move the plant to South Carolina at 60% pay.

Can a Marketing Tool Manufacture Virality?
At 27", I don't think it is. You can think about pixel size and then how many pixels are on the screen, as screen sizes get larger, so do pixels. On a 27" 1080p monitor, are you really looking at the pixels and thinking they are too large? How about 4k? We barely touched the surface of 4k at 27" and then we go and squeeze an extra 40% more pixels into the same size. I'd say at 50"+ screen maybe that would be noticeable, but at 27"?

Also, what content is going to be made for 5k? We're just getting 1080p and 4k is on the horizon. Will media companies jump to Apple's 5k? How good are website images going to look (depends on dpi I suppose), but that's a lot of pixels.

Then comes what I find the strangest part. Yesterday there was a question on Quora about why Apple only has an 8megapixel camera in the iPhone. http://www.quora.com/Why-did-Apple-use-an-8-megapixel-camera... almost all the comments say "pixels don't matter", and on 1080p monitors, I'd tend to agree with them.

But now you've got photos with essentially a 4k resolution, and everybody jumping up and down that pixels don't count. Then today, we have all this talk about how the new iMac has so many pixels on the screen and how great that is. So which is it? Pixels don't count, or pixels do count? How can they not count on capture, but count on presentation (I would accept that the reverse could be true).

I think there's lots of things that can go wrong in an acquisition which fall under "agreeable terms could not be met". It's hard to tell if a letter of intent was drafted or signed which would clearly lay out the terms. If not then I'd say the acquisition announcement was made prematurely.

If the terms hadn't been laid out then there's a whole slew of things that could cause it to go south on either side.

Why is this still a problem? Ultimately, because we treat mobile devices as somehow different from PCs, and we expect different things out of their users.

A PC user is expected to understand that there is a certain risk involved with downloading and installing a random program. We warn them, provide them with scanning software, etc., but at the end of the day, we leave the choice in their hands.

A mobile device user is expected to be an abject moron who willy-nilly clicks on links and installs "apps" because "apps" aren't "programs" [0]. So we curate and control what "apps" to which they have access, supposedly in their best interests, supposedly fairly, supposedly blocking out the bad stuff.

Neither assumption is, of course, either incorrect or correct. We should expect users to understand the risks of installing software, as much as we should expect them to understand the risks of inviting a stranger into their homes [1].

But at the same time, users are god damn idiots. It shouldn't be so easy to tap-tap-tap install a program from who knows whom that has been recast as an "app" and thus disassociated from the notion of "program" that they might already know shouldn't be installed without trust.

App stores need to either shit or get off the pot. If you're going to claim a curated app store, then curate the apps already. Either they are a curated means of acquiring programs, and thus can be completely trusted, or they are not, in which case they need to dump the concept that they are "official" or "certified". This post-hoc nonsense is bullshit.

[0] I do know people who don't think of web apps as "downloading" anything, and don't think of smartphone apps as the same thing as "programs". And I very much believe it to be an intentional bit of marketing on behalf of the operating system vendors to encourage people to prop up a nascent app market.

[1] Well, it is worse. You'll probably not be burned by letting every random stranger you ever meet into your house. But of those same people, one of them might be a software MBA, and concerning your computer, he sees it more as his property than yours.
The reason that Yosemite/Mavericks stall for a long time (although they inform users wrongly that there would be few minutes left, causing panic) is due to the copying and moving things in /usr/local/. If you have a huge /usr/local, it will take hours. Chances are you will need to remove /usr/local/Cellars and reinstall home-brew anyway. So, removing it first will save you some time.
The terms still have to be compelling to be acquired. Acquisition isn't a panacea by any means. The details can make shutting down a company more attractive then going through with the acquisition.

A simple example is an acquisition that doesn't sound terribly exciting, pays out money in earn outs and puts those earn outs 4 years into the future.

On a 27" 1080p monitor, are you really looking at the pixels and thinking they are too large?

Yes, absolutely. Pixels are too large on my 21" 1080p display, let alone 27". That's probably because I've been using a retina MacBook Pro for a while now, so normal DPI displays look bad by comparison.

We barely touched the surface of 4k at 27" and then we go and squeeze an extra 40% more pixels into the same size.

5120x2880 lets you have the same real estate as 2560x1440, with exactly twice the DPI which allows better scaling.

almost all the comments say "pixels don't matter"

Apples (sorry) and oranges. A sharp 4MP image is better than a grainy 10MP. That's not a factor for displays.
Page Plus is truly amazing, especially now that they support 4G (but 3.5 Mbps throttle) as of a couple weeks ago. I just set someone up with a gently used S3 for ~$140, which if you compare specs to the S4, isn't much of a step down.

Germany has a strong export sector which is driving German employment but that doesn't result in strong fundamentals.

The United States is a net importer, if it quit trading with the world tomorrow American employment would go up. The opposite is true of Germany. Its domestic demand is nowhere near sufficient to absorb current production. Moreover, Germany's trade surplus is substantially the result of trade with Eurozone basket case countries whose trade imbalances are not sustainable.

You also conflate the strength of the Mark with the strength of the German economy. The Mark was a strong currency in the postwar era because the Bundesbank tended to pursue "strong Mark" policies, often to the detriment of the German economy. As recently as 1990 Germany was considered the "sick man of Europe".

Yeah, but only few have the discipline to go back to school after having earned "real money" already.

The international equivalent would be graduating, getting some work experience and then going back to grad school. I don't think many people manage to do that either. But in this case it's even more difficult because you have to go back to high school basically.

For the language I love its concurrency model; creating thousands of "processes" at your PC/laptop is no problem. Message passing over shared memory also makes your distributed program easy to reason about. When talking about Erlang, you can't avoid OTP. It makes creating fault tolerant system at ease. Putting these two pieces together you have a very scalable fault tolerant distributed system.

I don't like the syntax of erlang though. And the missing of macro makes me switch to Elixir.
Oh, I know, I don't dispute that, and the name likely makes no difference at all to experienced players, but new players may be less hesitant to stab if the very name of the game seems to condone it.

I'm sure someone has done this before; perhaps someone with better google-fu can dig it up.
