I don't think he would work and fit in with any person who objects to the casual use of that term, which is hopefully the overwhelming majority of the industry.
Good question!

There is a lot of work to be done to improve the quality, uniqueness, and usefulness of mobile notifications. Before Batch Insights, there was no way to get a comprehensive view of the notifications sent by gaming/m-commerce co's or news outlets. Now, as a marketer, product manager, or developer you can use Batch Insights to become inspired and develop a more effective and differentiated strategy.

There are a lot of unanswered questions about the industry's use of mobile notifications, such as:

1. In the media industry, were you first to broadcast the news on Ferguson. See > https://batch.com/insights/all?language=en&search=ferguson%2...

2. How is your competition using notifications? Track a specific vertical such as games and monitor them in real-time or follow custom groupings of the apps that matter to you. See > https://batch.com/insights/all?category=games&language=en

3. In gaming, some use incentivized notifications to reengage, others try to make you feel sorry. What's your strategy?

4. How unique is your message from day to day? Which days are most popular for certain messages? You can view statistics on the content of your notifications, as well as others'. See > https://batch.com/insights/app/ios/inside-com-breaking-news

Being mobile developers ourselves we've been dying to know. Batch Insights tries to answer these questions.
It is nice as it shows distributions, not only - a few statistics. However, some shapes of violin plots can be... distracting. ;)
Really? Your argument is that even if I overhear someone explicitly planning a criminal act, I should just ignore it because it might not be criminal?

Why?
This Terry guy collects disability and lives with his parents. He seems to be asking for help constantly by virtue of the fact that he's only surviving due to the generosity of society. Don't project your personal experience onto everyone else.

On a side note, I don't know anything about you, but judging solely from the comments in this thread, you are causing yourself so much unnecessary pain. You are the only one who controls what can hurt you, emotionally. If you are "HURT" because people offer to help, that is a tragedy. Apathy hurts. Rejection hurts. Being unable to do simple things others take for granted hurts. A well-intentioned stranger offering to help in a way that underestimates you, that shouldn't HURT.
You'd be fine. Everything here (products etc.) have to be in at least two languages. In a city like Zurich, you'd get along very well in English only. Also, there are many companies around that have English as their "company language" (for instance Google) .

Btw. Google-Maps was largely developed by Zooglers (Google's Zurich office). They call it also "the real mountain-view".
Until we actively have thought reading, you can't know what people mean when they say or write something unless you investigate every potential reference to something terroristy. No one has enough money or manpower to do that.
It's actually possible to go enter a state where there are multiple streams of thoughts, feelings, and action while simultaneously remaining in a complete, integrated experience with clarity. It requires decoupling awareness from a single strand of thought. (You are not your thoughts).
Trying to charge people for carpooling, something we've traditionally done for free. The "sharing economy" isn't about sharing- it's about monetizing free things and taking a cut.

This is not in any way improving humanity. It's a step backwards.
Like the idea but it is not done so well. Too much information all over the place and the formatting isn't done so well. I would go with a different font. Also, If I click on schedule/TnC your footer blocks some of the buttons over on the left.

Man, getting sick of being downvoted for asking questions ...
Maybe there would be no reason to discuss about that once started working and that habit would probably sink in front of more interesting/important stuff.
> we've traditionally done for free

I don't have stats, but my guess is that most people don't carpool. So traditionally we haven't done it at all.
No, it's the same. This is just a test that lets you access foobar.
The most curios job-offer I found recently is this: "Head of Development 20%" (means 1 day per week of work only): http://mindband.ch/were-hiring-junior-head-development-20
I think it's more about incentivizing sharing. Part of that is money but you're not going to make a lot carpooling to work.
You sure? It redirects into the foobar game, which seems more like fizz buzz type challenges.

The connector wire is copper, sized from #8 to #4. The ground rod is 5/8" galvanized steel. That's the standard ground in the USA since water pipes went to PVC. And the copper will last underground indefinitely.

As mschuster91 said, there is always a risk of hitting existing lines when driving a rod in the ground.
Doubt it. Its possible to scramble your neurons so you think you did this; or so you think you remember doing this. How was it measured? What instrument was used to document this? If the instrument was the same one that was being tinkered with (your brain) then its highly doubtful.
Most of the cost is in the driver and driver recruitment, not the car. An additional car which isn't available at rush hour and has to be driven back to a specified point when you need it (and the driver is then going to need to get another ride to get to their next car) probably isn't worth much at all.
Thanks for that! It was a nice introduction, I have a colleague who usually made my eyes glaze over when he started about FP, but now that I have seen it in an environment that I understand and use in my day to day job, a lot of "a-ha" moments occurred in rapid succession. I also liked the humorous bits. It's all pretty self-explanatory and well put, a little Googling will fill in any gaps an interested pupil might face.

Presumably this would increase the supply and convenience of finding someone to carpool with, and presumably repeat carpoolers share at least fuel costs. I don't see this as a step backwards.
> I wouldn't have cussed if you had offered an argument like this earlier on instead of advancing obvious fallacies.

So, if you don't like people's answers you feel you are entitled to cuss? Given how you seem to not actually look at the quote which is from the Supreme Court and explains the limits and intent of the ruling, I don't see any profit in keeping this going.
Nice! did some digging: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture

That's actually pretty nice, was wondering if there are real tools/apps/interfaces out there which are using this as just a POC or a demo.

This is also interesting btw: https://github.com/neovim/python-client will definitely give that a try!

This is also part of another game that was submitted a couple weeks ago which was a recruiting game for GOogle.
Initially I would start out as a Sole Proprietorship, you can get an EIN number in your business name so you don't have to provide your SSN when working with companies who will be sending you a 1099.

Once you gain traction or see you have revenue growing then form an LLC . . . I would only form a corp if you take on investment or your accountant recommends it.
Bitcasa has taken in $2.5M revenue and has more than $6.2M in outstanding debt
I believe this argument is flawed. Carpooling has been free only with friends in most cases which limits the number of possible carpools as it only works when people you know are heading same direction.

This opens up doors to higher number of carpools which would be a big boon for big metros like Los Angeles where rush hour traffic is a nightmare. Reducing traffic will be a big win for humanity.
The final ISA showdown: Is ARM, x86, or MIPS intrinsically more power efficient?
I was mostly talking about a person who cannot actually realize that they're saying racist things (through impairment of their faculties), but I guess I kind of formulated that badly. I certainly didn't mean to be some sort of apologist.

FWIW, I was thinking of this with my original comment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbdxeFcQtaU

(... but I see that it doesn't necessarily apply in this context.)
I wonder if he would get this much positive attention if he wasn't a Christian extremist. Would the article have conveniently left out his racism if he was, say, a militant antisemite instead of being focused on black people as he is? Would people admire his worship of a random number generator if he used it to spit out slogans of a religious text that isn't as revered as the Bible?

While his schizophrenia probably comes with very bad episodes, there is absolutely nothing that can be found in his own words allowing for the conclusion that this view is just a tourette-like symptom. On the contrary. His violence-laden hate speech is one of the constant factors defining him. Contrary to what has been suggested here he doesn't use slurs randomly and generically, either. There's a story behind his views that is just as coherent as the cute "god's own programmer" schtick.

Where his illness clearly manifests is the interpretation of random events all having a specific meaning. The radio talking to him, all the events in his life being just so that an invisible power is communicating with him, all the way down to literally a random number generator whose nature he cannot grasp. That's schizophrenia. If there was an adequate cure or means of suppressing it, this world view would completely go away.

It's more complicated to separate the man from the illness when it comes to pretty much anything else. At the very least I would be extremely hesitant to call him, as people do in this thread, an "inspiration". I'm not even sure it's safe to be in the same room with him.

Closing with a quote straight from his most recent account:

"I spend my days clubbing retard-n$ggers. CLUB! CLUB!
DIE N$GGER! CLUB! RETARD! N$GGER! DIE!! CLUB! N$GGER!*"

HN's majority opinion of this guy makes me more uncomfortable than his comments by themselves. I don't get how we can label this guy as being "high functioning" and at the same time sweep 99% of everything he ever says under the rug. It's either or.
Inc ase people weren't aware, there's a 'showdead' option in your HN profile

Thank you. I wasn't aware of this, and I'm glad I can sidestep what has (in my opinion) at times been a too narrow moderation of these forums.

Ah, the connector. Sorry, misunderstood you - I thought you meant the entire thing to be made out of copper.
It's the same problem with queues - the people at the front don't have as much incentive to move quickly, since they're already at the front of the queue.

Probably the only way to really solve it is autonomous cars.

Very interesting. The most important thing to me personally is convenience, which is an itch that I believe this scratches. If I'm able to input that I'm going somewhere and this will help automatically direct me to people I can pickup and drop off on the way, it avoids the huge hassle of coordination. Additionally, it (presumably) helps with the issue of liability?
There are a couple of features I'd love Crystal to have, but I might be in the minority. One, immutability by default, or rather, make immutability more the rule than the exception. Two, type checked named parameters/keyword arguments. Yes they are verbose, but they make it much more clear what the code is doing upon 2nd, 3rd,..... 100th reading than something like MyObject.method(a, b, 1, zurb, foobar, false, -1, "bob"), where the order is important and the variables don't ned to be well named.

Swift, Kotlin, and Scala seem to be the only significant languages to get both features pretty close to what I'd want. Otherwise, I don't see much in the language space that scratches that itch.

Those three languages seem to be the closest to getting "the future" right when it comes to the "next generation" of languages - functional, object oriented, type checked and compiled languages with a bit of dynamic checking/inference for programmer convenience. Other languages seem to be too much in other particular directions to get the benefit of different styles where it makes sense.

I had high hopes for Mirah, but it hasn't really evolved the way I'd hoped.

I don't know if my notion for a language is the right direction for Crystal, but I'd love it if someone came along and made my "perfect language" for me. It'd be one less thing to build myself.

It will be another failed experiment.

Stock price is an stochastic process. It's unpredictable for the most part (of course if there are news with a big impact on a company the stock price usually reflects that, still)

It's certainly a nice experiment, but don't expect to get rich with it (the opposite is most likely)
The one thing missing from Amazon’s big cloud conference
Interesting, and a great answer. The usual estimates I've seen put the power efficiency overhead of the legacy x86 layer to be small enough to not be a major factor (http://research.cs.wisc.edu/vertical/papers/2013/hpca13-isa-...). But I suppose as you shrink the core smaller and smaller, that small mostly-fixed difference becomes a greater and greater part of the total power budget.
4/5.... will any correct regex match count as accurate or are they hints at a specific answer?
This could work really well for things like getting to Tahoe on the weekends too.

It's a regex... but my first thought was that it was a clue about group theory.
Looks like any matching regex is accepted.
Hm, I'd assumed that was a reference to the newspaper/typesetting term "slugline". But maybe it's both.
From the post:
"Nearly 80% of commuters currently drive to work alone."

Anecdotally in Chicago:
Look at the Kennedy any day during morning or evening rush hour. Easily 8/10 cars have a driver and nobody else in the car.

I see this effort as more bringing the idea to the masses. Yes, carpooling has always been an option, but clearly nobody chooses to do so (for a myriad of reasons I'm sure, like logistics, coordinating, communicating with strangers, etc). Maybe things like this will help those solo commuters reduce the number of cars on the road.

Certainly can't hurt.

"All you get" is a distributed & anonymous consensus algorithm that's resilient to malicious actors.

That is the value. If you don't need these properties, sure, you don't need blockchain.

As for the maintenance cost: Proof-of-Stake is making interesting progress. There are initial ideas around not having an entire copy of the blockchain.

I'm not aware of commit-time reduction work, but would welcome pointers. (Either way, you'll always have a commit-time issue in a distributed system. You might reduce it somewhat, but it won't go away.)
Assuming your approach to gathering data is similar to the other guesses in this thread, your stats will be skewed for "pushers" who actually target their notifications, as opposed to sending a homogenous marketing blast. People who target their notifications (to a geoloc, or topic of interest for example) are going to be incorrectly represented here.
I'd assumed it was because they followed the trail left by politicians, but your explanation is less sticky so I'll go with that.
You're implying that stasis = we're all car pooling already. The reality of stasis is that we're NOT leveraging the car pooling opportunities there are, and so Lyft is helping to resolve that. That's a step forward.

This is another great example of the unreasonable effectiveness of data. LeCunn, Hinton, Ng, Vapnik were all recruited on the basic fact that there is simply no way to do cutting edge research today without access to the data and computing resources of Google/Facebook/Yahoo/Baidu.

Edit: "No way" is inaccurate. I should have said it is much easier to do at these companies. Also it is inaccurate to imply this is the only reason these great minds have joined these companies.
I don't believe that you should be downvoted. If you read Paul Graham's essay http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html, it is clear that our current hypersensitivity to racism is a current moral fashion. You're not allowed to be racist, you're not allowed to think racist things, you're not even allowed to question our society's chosen approach to racism.

Which is just silly. Facts remain facts even if we don't like them. And we can't honestly discuss certain facts without sounding racist.

Here is a real example. "On average, blacks have lower IQs than whites." How careful do you have to be when saying this? Very, you could get into a lot of trouble. However this statement actually happens to be true, and repeatedly demonstrated in various places in various ways. With some bizarre consequences. For example the Supreme Court has ruled that it is illegal to make an IQ test be part of a job hiring practice because allowing it will discriminate against blacks. Don't believe me? Go read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griggs_v._Duke_Power_Co.!

But we can't even say facts like this in public. And if we can't say it, we can't start asking honest questions why it happens. And without asking them, we can't begin having honest conversations about what we can reasonably do to address the issue. Instead we're stuck at name calling and denial of reality. (And telling people who actually are racist that they can't talk about their racism doesn't actually reduce their racism - it just increases their resentment of the larger society, which ironically they are somewhat likely to take out on the group they are racist against!)
Another alternative is to treat them the same way you treat normal people. i.e. If they are happy where they're at, and their life isn't deteriorating, just assume that they've got a good thing going on and don't need your help.

> It just seems like "Hey, do you need any help?" can't possibly be a negative.

The first time, it's not a negative. After the 10th, it gets old. After the 20th, you start to wonder if something's wrong with you. Once you're through that and realize there's nothing wrong with your life, every single offer hurts because it's telling you that you're NOT ok. That actually you CAN'T handle yourself without help. It's an insult hidden behind good intentions.

I find it sad when, a tech company becomes about debt and lawsuits rather than about putting out great products and technology that will make things better; it's the shadow side of not being a hiflying company.
20 years ago, I lived in a house that had a city implemented carpool pickup spot in the East Bay - every morning carpoolers would line up and wait for a rid into SF to get through via the carpool lane, back when the toll was only $2.

Since it was city property, I don't believe my parents got anything out of it, and we couldn't park in front of our house Mon - Fri mornings, my brother did have the enterprising idea of selling coffee in the mornings, much like a lemonade stand with a forced audience.

Seems like there was a demand for this type of service 20 years back though, interesting to see it is still an issue that companies are looking to solve today.

You're right. MS SQL Server does reject that on repeatable read, but MySQL does not.

Should MySQL have the same behavior? It detects the problem and blocks, but then does the update when the other transaction finishes, losing one update. I tried this for different values of "value" in each process, and it still fails. (The test sets the same value from each process, so you can't see who wins the race or if the database treated the update as a no-change transaction.)
