The short answer is no. Ford partnered with B-Squared because someone knew someone is the way I understood things. Around the time SYNC was getting to be announced, Bill Gates & Bill Ford were seen in local media (TV news, papers, etc...) riding around in a model-T at Henry Ford Village with the reports being that Microsoft wanted to get into automobiles. Out of this, somehow, B-Squared was chosen (pushed on guys like me) with the comments always being they have a lot of domain expertise in bringing up WindowsCE on embedded platforms.

If you interested in the flight industry, something I've been looking at too:

Check out Disti (www.disti.com). Disiti is a company with an HMI(Human Machine Interface) that is gaining a lot of attention and they came out of a military flight industry. Their displays are in the Apache helicopter and the Virgin Atlantic Space Ship as a couple of their selling points. Because of their military involvement, everything they do is ISO26262 compliant which is attractive to the automotive space.

5 tips on how to Not run your crowdfunding campaign
First, they are comparing the wrong cars: they take the Chevy Cruze and Nissan Leaf -- both compact cars -- but compare them against the midsize Prius, rather than the compact Prius C (which not only has better gas mileage than the midsize Prius, but also a sticker price in the same range as the Cruze.)

They also call gasoline + initial price "total cost of ownership", ignoring maintenance costs, and -- critical to the all-electric Leaf -- electricity costs.

Further, assuming $2 gas over any extended time is, well, dubious. Sure, prices are falling now, but while short-term drops happen, we haven't seen an extended period (> 1 year) of $2 gas (overall US retail prices are closer to $3 now than $2) since 2004, and there's no sign of any kind of long-term change that would return us to an extended period of sub-$2 gas.

Its not clear to me if this is just ludicrously incompetent, or if this is just a Nissan ad (with the kind of deliberately misleading comparisons and assumptions one might expect in an ad) dressed up to look like a news article.

Science Shows Something Surprising About People Who Love to Write
I'm pretty sure bcardarella is referring to subway access, in which case "almost all of it" applies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MBTA_Boston_subway_map.pn...

There's a whole lot of nice housing in walking distance to Davis Sq. (well, as of the '80s, but I don't gather that's changed), and there are some adjacent stations, but the vast bulk of Somerville is bus, car, bike, or (long) walk access to where you're likely to want to go.

Also, per Wikipedia:

"To settle a lawsuit with the Conservation Law Foundation to mitigate increased automobile emissions from the Big Dig, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts agreed to extend the Green Line north to Somerville and Medford, two suburbs currently under-served by the MBTA."

And per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Line_(MBTA)#Plans they're going to drive a spur of the Green Line straight through the middle of Somerville (and on to Medford). Someday. Hmmm, and this list of recent accidents makes me question the wisdom of riding on the Green Line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Line_(MBTA)#Incidents_an...

> The small shops in the middle get it the worst.

Those small shops you keep mentioning, they don't exist anymore. There was a very small decade during which they did exist... shareware shops. Those were really crap. Boy I'm glad they're gone. You know what replaced them? Web apps shops (online-only, no piracy there) and mobile apps shops (where piracy has a much, much higher barrier of entry and is comparatively non-existant).

So as I said, software piracy is more or less a solved problem.
Additionally, excluding and marginalizing the measured high-IQ (+1 sigma) population of Ashkenazi Jews probably handicapped the Third Reich. For which we should probably be thankful.

> if you have a clean and simple API like REST or even plain pipes, you open yourself up to a whole new world of composability

Totally agree with this and that's one of the core tenants of our API design. We should probably be more clear about how docker fits with pfs. Our APIs are all designed as RESTful services to allow for composability, however we want to take a batteries included but removable approach. In our case Docker is a battery. We want it to be there so that users have a really easy primitive to implement M.R jobs with. But we recognize it might not be for every user so we also want to allow people to put anything they want there. I think the easiest way would be just letting people pass an arbitrary endpoint to be used in an M/R job.

> Additionally, you seem to be leaning on CoreOS at the moment. That seems a dangerous dependency considering the CoreOS/Docker relationship.
I'm hopeful that both of these companies commitment to a batteries included but removable approach will make leveraging both ecosystems a realistic option. I agree that it would be a pain to have to pick one.
In Elixir, |> does not flip arguments. It lets you chain together multiple functions by inserting the result of the previous function as the first argument of the following function. Here's an example from http://www.theerlangelist.com/2014/01/why-elixir.html

The following code computes the sum of squares of all positive numbers of a list:

list |> Enum.filter(&(&1 > 0)) |> Enum.map(&(&1 * &1)) |> Enum.reduce(0, &(&1 + &2))

> They're calling it a possible solution to obesity and a preventative measure for diabetes, one that turns up the body's metabolic rate without the negative side effects of increasing the heart rate or blood pressure.

I think "possible solution" is too strong. According to the CDC, as of 2012 "more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese" so it logically follows that simply restoring the metabolic rate of adults to their teenage rates probably won't help a sizable portion of the population.

Also, while it's promising that this doesn't increase heart rate or blood pressure, weight is just one factor in overall health. There are a lot of adults who are of a healthy weight but still aren't very healthy. For instance, a healthy weight doesn't mean that an individual has good cardiovascular health or functional strength. It's a shame that so much emphasis is placed on weight when it's really only a part of the equation and arguably not even the most important.

It's kind of silly how we keep looking for a pill for appearance (weight) when it's not hard to notice that people who focus on cardiovascular conditioning and functional strength usually have the healthiest looking bodies. Weight and body composition follow from healthy lifestyle; health does not follow from weight.

It's not exactly plaintext versus binary. Git "stores" a copy of every file, no matter the content. But it also does "delta compression" between objects when you run "git gc"; it tries to find binary diffs between objects that are similar. So the poor performance comes from files that don't "delta" well.

These tend to be things which are compressed or encrypted, where a small semantic change can cascade into a lot of bytes changing. Of course, binary formats often do both of those things. And the larger the files, the more painful it is when it happens.

Right now, the closest thing to a spec is the sample FizzBuzz code (as an implicit spec that "this code will solve FizzBuzz"); there is no implementation (just work-in-progress parser/lexer code.)

So, while I'll agree that there are issues that come from the implementation being the spec of a language in general, I would say we are well earlier than the point at which we can identify that as a problem with Streem.

According to http://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2014/12/01/the-state-of-per... "In 2014, MoarVM has become the de facto standard backend for the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler. Parrot and JVM are still supported as backends, but MoarVM provides much lower memory usage, faster startup time, and is significantly faster than parrot at runtime. Rakudo on MoarVM also has concurrency support, including reactive programming."

> The fact that this sort of crap pays so very much better than doing actual research that genuinely advances mankind's fundamental capability to arrange the universe to our benefit is, to me at least, a low-level itch or irritant of moral indignation that I am unfortunately condemned to experience regularly due to growing up in the neoliberal era ;-).

I share your indignation, but I suspect the relative difference in pay might not bother you so much if Professors and other people doing this sort of research had easy access to the middle class. I grew up in the 70s in San Francisco, and two of my friends dads were professors at SF State, one in Physics, and one in Communications. The physics professor owned a 4bedroom house in the inner sunset. The communications professor lived in West Portal. They had kids raised a family largely on one income, kept the old station wagon running. They weren't rich, but it was not a big problem being a professor.

When that's the case, when someone who manages to get a PhD has a strong chance at a good position where he or she can do good research without massive time pressure, and you can buy something like a 4br house in a nice place and raise a family, then it's easy (well, easier) not to worry about who is living in the mansions in Pacific Heights. You might grouse a bit, but you in the end, the professors probably wouldn't trade places with them.

To me, the moral indignation comes from a number of things: 1) elite PhD programs in the sciences often have attrition rates of 50%, 2) it's difficult to get (and keep!) a good job even if you make it through 3) the pay often isn't sufficient to buy a house or raise a family even if you're a winner on winner on winner (got into an elite program, completed program, got a tenure track job at a decent university) 4) congress's response to this is to declare a shortage of PhDs.

It's often not behavior changes that turn healthy 20 year olds into obese 50 year olds -- it's that behaviors stay the same while the body changes.

If we can find a way to bring some of those perks of youth into older age, I think it's great.
> That said, anything we can do to reverse aging I am all for, I just hope our consumption patterns can become less extreme.

I disagree; aging and death are natural processes that could wreak havoc economically if significantly altered. Right now, the young have the ability to progress in the economy because older people eventually leave the workforce through retirement or death.

People need to be able to die naturally. If nobody died, and everyone had children, the population would simply grow with no prospect of stopping it. Though the more likely proposition would be that the wealthy who could afford the treatments would never die, and the rest of the population would. That's an even worse scenario in my opinion.
This is certainly an impressive list of projects. Ada seems to be favored for critical software that can't ever fail. I've been considering how to achieve this type of software reliability for more "enterprisey" applications. Formally verifiable languages are certainly intriguing, but would be a hard sell for the managers at the Fortune 100 company where I work.

Reading the wikipedia page for Ada didn't really give much insight into why the language is so heavily favored for applications like avionics software. Built in task based concurrency is certainly nice, but not a game-changer. Can someone more familiar with Ada explain what makes it so popular for high reliability applications?

Or is it a question of culture and tooling rather than the language itself?
Unfortunately, HTTP caches have opaque, browser-provided semantics that work sometimes and mysteriously don't work in other cases.

They can't be used to ensure that you have a complete atomic set of application assets, are often purged in ad-hoc ways by browsers, and in general aren't a good hint to browsers about exactly what the semantics of the caches are.

ServiceWorker gives applications control over many of these considerations in a programmable way. If you've ever tried to work with AppCache or control time-to-boot in the context of possibly-warm HTTP caches, you know that this is a godsend.

Which isn't to say that people shouldn't make the best use of HTTP caches, nor that HTTP caches aren't currently underutilized. It's just to say that the control offered by ServiceWorker will make it far easier to control the nitty-gritty of caching behavior, which matters a lot.

A lot of radar systems run on Ada. Its takes a little getting used to, but its a good language.

Ada has a c binding package so it can call down to the OS libraries (networking, shared memory), which is great, but kills some of the niceness of living in an ada world.

When I was trying out GO, I got a little ada flashback for some reason.

The package system was good.

All your affiliates care about is that your conversion and commission rates are higher than the competition. All you need to care about is that your lifetime customer value exceeds your costs including commissions.

A great example was a dating site that offered a 200% commission on each sale, because they knew that once people were in their sales funnel, enough would buy buy bigger ticket items to make it profitable. They crushed the competition who was offering 50% commissions on similar products because affiliates chose to get the 200% commissions.

Nope, although PartTimeLegend is obviously quite disgruntled for some reason I've never entirely been clear on. Nobody was removed from the project on GitHub for over a year after there was last active development. We only took people off of it when some started acting in a disruptive or aggressive manner. Anyone that still wanted to work on that project (buttercoin/buttercoin) was invited to let us know and we would give them access or transfer the repo to them.

That repo was the initial open source attempt at a better trade engine in node. It suffered from too-many-cooks syndrome after being started as an announce-first project. There was no clear direction, some people wanted it to be a distributed market, etc. After a couple of months, we thought it would be best to start from scratch with a small team on a focused implementation in Scala. That's available at http://github.com/buttercoin/engine.

The other contentious point was bitcoins that were donated. We posted a couple of times over the course of the year that anyone who had donated should get in touch with us to have their coins returned as the original project looked dead. Nobody contacted us, so we decided the best course of action was to simply return the coins to the address they came from. That irritated a couple of people, but I still think it was the right thing to do, especially as the person who had originally collected donations had left and there was no clear governance setup for their use.

The original impetus for the project was to create a more robust and secure way for people to access bitcoin liquidity. Specifically in the US, since that's where people seemed to be having the hardest time getting money in and out of other platforms. In that respect we've succeeding. We're also still committed to open sourcing as much as we can and will continue to expand the buttercoin/engine repo.
Ah, I mis-read your post, and was thinking you were suggesting more nodes rather than more disks. Sorry for that.
