I don't have data on this, but it feels like solving the wrong problem. Is text parsing overhead a significant drain on modern systems?

The size difference over a wire between gzipped/deflated text and protocol buffers is also usually dwarfed by almost any other asset being loaded on the page (images, fonts, videos etc).

The benefits of human readability and simplicity probably outweigh those size differences, I think.

I do agree there's a lot of room for improvement in the html/css/js combination, though. They were designed for far less dynamic interfaces than those we're trying to build today.

The CSS model in particular is very conceptually complicated for a layout system. I say that having used it for 13 years.
Maybe. We're still working on the details about what that will look like. Chances are we'll have some basic support if you're doing a limited set of things. Stay tuned.
I agree. I think it's really inertia that keeps us here. People look up to the W3C and the garbage they come up with.

I just saw my coworker using Axure for prototyping and I was impressed - it creates working prototypes with clickable buttons that perform functions and calculations. It's basically what making webpages should be. Except it isn't. Why don't they just make that compilable and distribute a viewer to compete with web browsers? Inertia.

This would require the phone/app to know and be able to reconcile all the different configuration and communication schemas for all the different makes/models of cars AND for the cars themselves to publish what amounts to an API to allow for this sort of interaction.

Nobody wants to do that sort of work on the phone side, and the car manufacturers really have no incentive to provide an API especially since they use their interfaces as selling points (BMW's iDrive, Tesla's 60" screen, etc).

>Uber doesn't benefit from this effect in any meaningful way. If my friends all use Uber, that doesn't make Uber inherently more useful to me than Lyft (or a cab). Its utility is totally divorced from the number of other people using it.

True for the general model, but IIRC they're adding (or have added) features that do exploit network effects:

- The fare-splitting feature [1] gets more useful as more of your friends have Uber.

- The carpool service [2] will be more economical the more people you can find on the same route.

This is fixed in the kernel; the fix is called "oom-killer". You turn it off and write your own, you take your chances.
>Basically, the question is this: is it possible to develop a process manager that would do the job of oomkiller that has as high code quality as the Linux kernel. I am guessing the answer is yes, so we will always be hitting cases 1 and 2, or at least we'd be hitting cases 3 and 4 with roughly the same frequency.

You can't assume the people who would replace oomkiller with their own process manager are the same ones who could write it well.
This does come up in every thread that touches Uber, posted from different accounts. But do you have any idea if this is actually the case? It sounds a bit implausible that measurably more people would suddently get a burning desire to call a cab just because the app is so cool. Numbers, or any facts at all, could certainly help make your case.

1) Netflix could try, but ISPs would be well within their rights to block Netflix attempting generate useless traffic on their network. Even net neutrality rules would allow that for that type of action.

They could shift to a sort of bittorrent distributed system if they wanted to, but that is a huge shift in models and not really worth talking about.

2) IIRC 79% have two providers. Their local telecom and cable company.

3) You can but it's a crappy policy that would destroy the ISPs negotiating position. Potentially even letting the transit providers charge the ISP, like they already charge small ISPs.

A) Remember, Cogent and L3 are still selling Netflix and all their other customers, space on interconnect links that it doesn't have.

In what other business can you sell your client service and then fail to deliver and just blame your supplier for not giving you a cheap deal.

B)If you are going to force free peering on ISPs they should at least be able to charge the peer the actual cost to set up the peer point.
"The complex numbers provide a particularly striking example for the foregoing. Certainly, nothing in our experience suggests the introduction of these quantities."

Written in an era long before 3d graphics and spatial navigation systems. Quaternions are just so darn useful that if we stubbornly insisted on not inventing complex numbers, we'd none the less end up with a magical set of manipulations that implement them without understanding them, and inevitably someone would look at those peculiar mechanical arithmetic steps and "invent" complex numbers.

""The real problem is of course that the W3C is still copying our work even after we asked them to stop doing that," [Anne] van Kesteren said. It's legal, but "oftentimes it comes pretty close [to] or is actual plagiarism."

It's one of many instances of copying, Hickson said. "For reasons that defy my understanding, the W3C staff refuse to treat the WHATWG as a peer organization" that relies on WHATWG's work, he said. Instead, it creates its own copies of some standards. "They'll eventually say they have a 'final' version, and then they'll stop fixing bugs. It's very sad."
Nano-bubbles and particles have been used since a long time to diagnose diseases and enhance the quality of ultrasound analysis (contrast agents). You can also link an antibody on their surface to target them against a particular protein or reveal a zone of interest (e.g. a tumor revealed by a specific biomarker). Nano-bubbles are even use to destroy adjacent tissue on purpose (sonoporation).

Usually such particles are constructed via a mix of lipids and have a very short life time in the blood stream. I wonder how they're going to keep them alive in the blood stream for what seems to be a very long time and their design regarding toxicity.
I have written EDA software, including some stuff that your library has. One thing that is key for EDA: tool performance. I can't imagine using Python for any of the intensive stuff like synthesis. What is your view on this?
In some cases the amount of leverage these sources of customers have over you can be crippling as well.

The other factor that I feel doesn't get brought up enough is the attribution piece. How much did they REALLY contribute to bringing a customer vs. all your other marketing efforts, brand awareness that has built up over time, etc.?

In the worst cases, some partners can just be parasitic and leech off bottom of the funnel traffic to maximize their return and minimize their risk. The trick is finding the right balance between all those efforts which requires data, flexibility, and trust between all parties in the relationship.
I was hoping they would add file api support for downloading to non sand boxed environment with mandatory user interaction prompts. The api would prompt for the file download location (via file dialog) but after that, how the file is filled up is up to the web client (and happens in the background). This would allow for parallel download workers via the existing get range option.

You are far more optimistic than me about the future of driverless cars. Given N driverless cars, some fraction p will eventually run over and kill small children. Stand back and watch the hysteria and the end of driverless cars.

Also, before driverless cars become widespread, they will need to be first proven and then regulated. Imagine the fantastic force of the driving lobby that will oppose that from happening: taxi drivers, truck drivers, fleet drivers.

They are working on it on several fronts, constantly cutting off tasks from the main thread onto their own ones (downloading, cache v2, Awesomebar), making other things asynchronous (project snappy), garbage collection improvements also help in some cases. Most of these are smaller wins, and several big ones like OMTC, tiled rendering or e10s are yet to come.

A new marketing medium and receipt for the transaction
Hey all,

We built some technology that gives businesses the ability to reach unreachable existing customers through ads/coupons (without the need for their permission, or email, phone or address) and a detailed receipt through the online bank or credit card account.

In essence, imagine a consumer buying something (online or off), go to their online account (debit or credit card), and be able to get a non-invasive coupon and the receipt of the transaction without ever giving their email address or having to opt-in for marketing.

Check demo gif for how it works. https://rct.co/img/demo.gif

We think it's a new advertising channel that didn't exist before, helping merchants get to unreachable customers in a new way.

It's also a way for customers to get a receipt of the transaction that is connected to the transaction itself, and not a paper or email of it which is lost or misplaced, while giving customers a coupon to buy from the business again (through an ad or coupon).

What's your take/feedback? Email me at orgesi@rct.co if you want the receipt capability for your company (free) or want a way to put an ad/coupon in every credit/debit card sale (this is paid:-)

Thanks.

What struck me was his optimism that this was really going to happen. Usually researchers are ultra cautious about going out on a limb like that (Yes, he said there was much to do, but read the interview to get his tone.) I think that comes from working at a place like Google X that encourages the big reach.
Look at your body in the mirror.
Those kind of credit card agreements were outlawed under an Obama consumer-protection law. You can now offer a discount for people who pay in cash, though I believe the agreements can still require it be advertised as a discount for cash, not as a fee for credit card usage, even if they are effectively the same.

I guess that there's the accomplishment of having managed to steal it?

I did that when I was a teen - stole game CDs, went home, copied them with this incredibly clunky single speed cd writer I had bought as defective (it wasn't defective, you just had to basically build the whole PC around it for it to not underrun the buffer), put them back in the boxes. At the time, you were cooler if you managed to "procure" stuff, rather than having to buy it. I eventually got caught (funny enough, when "returning" a disc, not when stealing it), the shop's owner had me do some chores for him for a couple months as punishment, this eventually turned into my first job because I picked up the putting together of desktops very quickly.

The allure of the current set of exercise apps is that the device automatically tracks the effort, using existing features like accelerometer and GPS, and there's no input required. FitBit tracks steps, some apps use GPS to track distance covered and derive stats. It's nearly literally a no-brainer to use them, and they require no cumbersome gear to wear. Even a heart rate monitor is small and unobtrusive now.

Unfortunately for lifting and many other forms of exercise, the apparatus is not built into the device you already have or can strap on your belt and forget about. In addition to needing special-purpose measuring equipment, the user would have to incorporate the device into the exercise.

A barbell could know it's been picked up and put down, but how would it know how much weight is on it? RFID in the plates? A tennis racket or baseball bat could track swings and speed, but would anyone even care for that metric?
Except, the real answer to that question is: “Oh, keyword advertising will be the single most profitable business model on the Internet.”

Uber may have shady tactics, and might be deceiving drivers - that's true. But the reality is that the opportunities they are giving drivers are not insignificant.
Unfortunately - these drivers are paying with their wages the price of a market equilibrium that has not been found yet in terms of finding the right pricing model to match supply and demand.
This is the problem that has existed in all major Internet marketplaces where you deal with people's businesses - with eBay, Uber, Amazon, oDesk, etc....

May I suggest:

1. A strong will to keep trying - you've done it once, second time is easier!
2. Knowing that the Internet's got your back - there are people like you out there, who have faced and conquered similar problems; find them out, and learn from them!
3. Mix it up - since you'd originally left your field and are returning, you'd have done something else in the interim, right? Use that experience to make your return more fruitful!

>'You can use "html", "html5", "html6.2" or "foobarbaz" as your doctype, the effect will be the same—they will all trigger standards compliant mode.' //

You're wrong if your asserting that any doctype produces the same results globally but it probably doesn't matter unless you're targeting legacy UA.

See e.g. "Appendix: Handling of Some Doctypes in text/html" at https://hsivonen.fi/doctype/ or Eric Meyer's http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/network/2000/04/14/doctype/... (for MacIE5 ... like I said it probably won't matter!).
I mostly agree (and my key never leaves my computer, though I've been considering sticking something in a safety deposit box), but I'm not entirely unsympathetic to the desire to offer more functionality. Is there a good solution involving delegation and short-lived keys?
Hi, this was a tough call for us to make. We wanted to everything we could to avoid extra bloat for everyone. In the end, most people tend to use some kind of extra helper, even if it's not JSX. E.g. a custom library or another third party language.

One reason for this change is to make it possible to use object literals or record syntax where that is more appropriate than function calls. We don't currently recommend it because there's no validation in that case, so you probably want static analysis to catch errors. I would encourage you to play with the idea of using object literals instead of function calls though.

One compelling reason for this change is that in 0.13 you will be able to build components using plain CoffeeScript classes instead of relying on React.createClass. So, in the end, you will be getting some of that bloat/overhead back.

We're definitely not making React depend on JSX. We will continue to support non-JSX and fully support compile-to-JS languages. Unfortunately, that sometimes means a trade-off. In this case trading React.createClass for React.createFactory. Some would've preferred it be the opposite tradeoff but React.createFactory gives us more benefits than the opposite.

Which is anything but straightforward.

There also isn't a straightforward way to tell if a detected cancer/precancer is actually harmful and needs treatment. Ductal carcinoma in situ is almost solely detected through routine mammograms. While 30 or so percent of these lesions will go on to become invasive breast cancer most will cause no symptoms, won't progress to cancer, and be harmless. Since there is no way to tell which cases of DCIS are harmful, usually cases of DCIS are treated as if they are invasive cancer.

Now, this poses an interesting question - what is an acceptable rate of over treatment? When does the harm outweigh the benefits? Those questions i don't have an answer to.

Though the PSA test is no longer recommended by some organizations for similar reasons. Same with the breast self exam.

When does detecting a cancer with no symptoms actually improve quality of life or longevity? These are very complex questions.
We had compiled web apps. First there were Java applets which were a buggy, insecure, ugly PoS. Then we had ActiveX which was even worse. By comparison html/js/css have produced fairly good results. Parsing text is not a bottleneck for todays machines as any low level nerd would know.
Not sure how long this would take to be commercially available. But when and if it does it would change the way we use internet.

Basic income or crowdfunding aren't enough to create Game of Thrones. Maybe that's okay to you, but it's not okay for fans of the show.

Now extrapolate from "Game of Thrones" to "Most entertainment experiences on the scale of Game of Thrones," and you quickly realize that neither crowdfunding nor basic income are adequate for pretty much any large-scale production. Hence, payment. You can rationalize not paying, but it doesn't change the fact that the experiences you enjoy wouldn't exist without people who do pay for them.
