I think your comment is a good one.

But I find myself wondering, if a company like PWC is also "Too big to fail."

In this day and age, I have little trust in very large organizations, as I see them in league with politicians and bureaucrats.

Edit: Change "too" to "to" in "Too big to fail."
This is an awesome idea and I'm very interested.

- Are there more locations that are considered?

- Is this meant to grow with demand, or be limited to a few first-come/first-served offering?

- It's not clear to me (maybe I misread) what happens when I move to another country. Am I holding a lock on the rooms everywhere, or am I allocated a room on request?

I work remote, and currently in school but once done, I totally want to start moving around the world for periods of times. Q1 2016 is about when that should start happening.

Not to rain on your parade, but isn't it a bit disingenuous to compare your cost with living in NY or SF? I mean, of course it's much cheaper to live in Lisbon or Mexico City, regardless of the particular accommodation.
It's disconcerting how many US online services claim to be usable internationally but then turn out not to have done their homework.
"I define it as one where people pay in proportion to the benefits they receive"

I believe that countries want to survive as entities, and being fair is not necesarily the best course of action. If rich people pay more, but they don't do anything aggresive in response, that's ok. Surely most of the population will be happier - and, in return, won't rise up and kill the rich. If the amount of capital going out of the country starts being so aggresive that it is dangerous for the country, the country will end up responding.
Finding novel ways to make stuff crash can be fun, open source or not.
Did the Unix philosophy ever win out for end users? As far as the eye can see there's only integration. Microsoft Office is the most popular office suite, Photoshop integrates probably 1000 tools, etc.

The only place users have accepted a single tool for a single role seem to be mobile apps, because the interface is so limited.

At least that's my impression...
Sounds like someone just renamed "timeshare."
I would love to be able to travel between one of your houses in London to Bali with only a carry on luggage (e.g. a few days clothes and my laptop) - then have a box of clothes follow me within the week.

Clothes are probably a good place to start. Having a simple cupboard draw that is automatically sent would be good (cost permitting).

- Most people shouldn't have a problem with you searching through this sort of thing for illicit goods

- I think it is mainly clothes that take up the bulk of space in peoples suitcases

- Clothes can be compressed for space/cost efficiency

The biggest question becomes: income taxes.

Any ideas how that will play out?
I had been hoping that this would eventually emerge from the nomad community - it's a great idea.

The inclusion of a moped or shared vehicle in each location would seal the deal for me.

I actually really liked the scrolling effect on this website.
From dim and distant memory (ie 10yrs ago), I think the issue is establishing a true value for your IP if you're not selling to a price list. I believe that the addition of S&M components to a sale can assist in evidencing the value.
I don't know about GrubHub in particular, but it is normal to see first day IPO returns of 20% or more. The main reason is monopsony- there are a limited number of institutions that can make significant investments in new IPOs, and they demand a discounted price. Another factor is that there are just a few bulge bracket investment banks to facilitate large IPOs. Their loyalties are more with the repeat players that buy IPOs than the smaller players that sell them.

Note that the founders who sell into an IPO tend to hold onto a lot more stock than they sell, so they're not solely concerned with getting the best price at the IPO. Do you think when FB cratered after the IPO Mark Zuckerberg was smiling because he got a great price for the shares he sold?

Even Google wasn't smart or powerful enough to beat the system. They tried to do an auction instead of a regular IPO, but at the last minute large investors threatened to pull out, so Google IPOed at $85 and popped 17%.
Is it insider knowledge if the company is not public yet?
Generally the lawyers say the need to divulge keys in hardware is the biggest problem. That's a clear problem for a hardware company trying to secure things.
Why don't we just pass around the IP address for cases like these? All it would take is a pastebin link with simple instructions to copy and paste the IP in. While yeah, most people will be scared by a big string of numbers at first, it shouldn't be too hard to explain that domain names are just shortcuts. Alternatively, the pastebin could include instructions for adding a rule in your hosts file for whatever domain you want to resolve to kickass.

Hi, I am finishing my PhD in astrophysics and also working as a software engineer. I also co founded a company (yes I am a technical cofounder as well). I have similar thoughts about scientific publishing. Even journals where highly values places you can publish has significant impact on your carrier. Often I use http://arxiv.org/ and but the functionalities are very limited. I also use http://www.mendeley.com/ to manage my papers. I honestly believe somebody need to do some work on this space to make this process more efficient and unify many fields who has their own places to post papers. Let me know what you think, I am interested in talking to you further about this idea. you can email me at peiris.prabath at gmail.com

Yes, it was already in place when I was hired. I'm a Drupal developer, and pretty much every site that I work on uses 10s or 100s of contributed modules from Drupal.org. When a bug is reported to us, the first thing we do is narrow down what module is causing it and then go look through the issue queue for that module to see if it's already been reported. If so, then we can just apply the patch from that issue. If not, then we fix it and upload the patch to Drupal.org. We're already doing 99% of the work involved in open source contribution. Why not do the remaining 1% and get the benefits from it?

There's a clear benefit to doing this. If we have a module that we have to apply 100 patches to in a specific order every time we upgrade the module, that's a lot of maintenance burden. If we submit those patches upstream and let the module maintainer roll them into the module, then maybe we only have 4-5 patches to apply. That makes upgrades significantly easier. In fact, our developers are the maintainers of some of the modules that we use, so they have incentive to be responsive maintainers. When a patch is posted, it's in their best interest to commit it ASAP so that we don't have to include that patch in our patch list.

Getting to that point is step 1, and it's relatively easy if you work in an environment where you depend on a lot of external open source software.

The next step is slowly pushing a cultural shift in your company to develop things in a generic way that would be useful to people outside of your organization. Unfortunately, there's no clear cut way to do this, as it depends on too many factors. Again, though, the justification really comes down to maintenance burden. If it's open source and people use it, then it's likely that other people will help you maintain it (fixing bugs, adding features, etc). The more you involve the community, the more likely it is that you will be able to share the maintenance burden. An example of this is that a few of our developers co-maintain this module: https://www.drupal.org/project/media_theplatform_mpx

We needed to integrate with a video service, and since it's a third party commercial service, it's likely that somebody else needs to integrate with it as well, so we did all of the generic integration in the module I linked to before, and then the very few things specific to my team's product go into a module that we don't open source.

One thing that I've noticed is that it really comes down to your supervisor being open to looking at things a little differently, but I think the long term benefits are clear and definitely worthwhile.
A crappy website (iOS not recommended) is not nearly as useful as the actual data which might be really interesting.

I know it's a hack, but I always wrote multi-line strings as a function with a comment. Super simple case:

var multiline = (function() {/*

I am

a multi-

line string.

*/}).toString().slice(16, -4);

Couple this with a proper parser for the syntax and a template library and it has served me well enough.
Those steps might make you feel better but buy you very little in terms of privacy. Your telecoms provider will still know roughly where you are at all times, they have to, it's how their switches know which towers to route your traffic to and from.

Unless you tunnel all your data traffic they'll also get copies of that and may sell pseudo-anonymous website usage statistics to one of the web metrics businesses. In some countries they also intercept and modify web content that you might view.

And what can you do about the baseband radio processor and its code? Nothing. Assuming you have a tunnel in operation, the phone could still be collecting and quietly sharing metadata and you'd never know.

Hey, thanks for the well thought out comment, the price point is for a certain group who wants total peace of mind not only in terms of internet speed etc.

I can't access the site so I'm not sure what scope you use on the API, but it sounds like you're requesting full scope on drive. You might be able to get by with only requesting access for just the app files you create for the user:

Just because the maker movement exists, it doesn't mean it's big enough for over 5000 stores. And they couldn't staff up in people with maker expertise while also serving their old market -- whatever it was -- of unskilled salesman.

The company is full of management who know the old way of doing business. A great many of them would have to be fired to switch to the new way of business.

Humans have incredibly loss aversion. The reason the story of Aron Ralston cutting his arm off to escape that boulder is so fascinating is that most people wouldn't do it. Give all the management -- not just the people at the top, but all levels down to store managers -- the option between facing the known pain of needing to cut a bunch of stores, or that Something Magical Will Happen and they and all their friends get to keep their jobs, and the second is the choice that will win, hands down.
100% agree.

Senior engineers with experience are hard as hell to come by. They offer perspective and focus: something that is often needed but hard to find.
Law of Marketing for Successful Programming Languages: the basic examples should teach sockets, websockets or http servers.
This might be a tradeoff - or it might simply be a flaw. Compared to a language that provides easy composition of managed state changes (Haskell or Clojure), or an alternate model for handling these kind of updates (Erlang or Scala), what is the compensating advantage that Nim gets for this tradeoff?
I think this is more of the story of heartbleed that did not happen because it got caught during testing.

>How would you prefer to have it handled?

Something as automatic as possible would be dang neat.

If (as is likely) something 'magic' isn't feasible, the second best way would probably be to adopt the method used by some managed partial-ownership properties - everything goes into a luggage trunk that smoothly vanishes into storage upon leaving and is there and available on arriving, possibly along with some basic packing/unpacking of clothes and so on.

A mostly-painless way of dealing with insurance and the related listing of contents would best a must, as would some kind of interfacing with customs.
Just out of curiosity, is it stated anywhere that Swift is memory-safe in parallel mode? Or is this a necessary prerequisite for reference-counted objects to be safely used with Grand Central Dispatch?

(I assume that whatever implementation exists is similar for Rc'ed objects in Rust, assuming Swift is indeed parallel-memory-safe.)
Some of these aren't WTFs. Actually, a fair amount of them aren't.

Also, do some people just not understand type conversion (especially with the Math.max examples)?
You're missing out on a beautiful world out there.
Or not even needing the clerk, getting your item and observing the ridiculous prices they had on larger items. I stopped in to my local Radio Shack the other day to check if they were having the clearance yet and witnessed a 5-port 10/100 switch priced at $70. Meanwhile you can get a gigabit one at Newegg for $25 (without sale). It's almost if they took the margin they were able to obtain on electronic components and applied it to everything else in the store, managing to stay alive from the occasional sucker who thought it an appropriate place to buy tech.
Thanks for the link! I'll definitely look into that. $1600 is actually pretty good for the "whole package", especially if it's in a cheaper country. I'd definitely consider it as a place to rest my weary feet for a few months (or... a year, or whatever the minimum lease is), especially if the house is really nice and has a good gender balance.
I thought it was interesting? It's not even like the author himself came here and put it in front of you. I can send you some links with much more comprehensive displays of vacuousness on the internet if you need some solid targets.
Is there a limit on the amount of sounds I Can activate? it seems as if after playing with combinations for a while, something gets stuck so I can activate/deactivate one of the sounds and nothing happens until I deactivate a previous one.

Is this normal?

Also, is there a way to cache the files locally? if I deactivate a sound and activate it 3 seconds later, it seems to have to load it again (there's a delay) instead f being instant-on.
This is a neat idea, but seems quite expensive, also the price comparisons are a bit unfair.

I can't speak for NY, but in London, you could get a nice room in a shared flat for 890 GBP (=1356 USD) on the edge of first zone, so the commute (monthly Underground ticket for zones 1&2) would be a much more reasonable 130 GBP (=200 USD), far from 698 USD as listed on the site.

Visualizations of a better world
A lot of companies, like where I work, purchase boards like this as a reference implementation. Ultimately at least for us, FCC and CE become conformance studies against our own product in this case.

But I could see this being a problem for companies reselling these boards inside some product they put out.
it's not a surprise - the only surprise is Apple releasing semi-baked products and marketing them as 1.0
Agreed - frankly, I'm not sure if the convenience of having the location set up with reliable internet access and furnished on arrival is worth the price, compared to other properties in the same locations.
Wait...you've named your startup "Caravanserai" and you don't have any destinations on the actual historical Silk Road? For shame!

Turkey is an amazing place to work and live, there's an incredibly vibrant hacker community, and the people are some of the most welcoming in the world (especially if you're a visitor). Istanbul rents on the European side can run pretty high, but on the Asian side (and with the way the exchange rate is going these days), I think you'd be remiss to leave it out.

If not Istanbul, Ankara has a bunch of universities and rents are considerably cheaper. Bodrum, too, has relatively low rents and absolutely amazing natural beauty. Ok, enough ranting...

Seriously cool concept, though. I look forward to seeing where you take it!
My own observation from trying this out: I sometimes experience negative self-talk when thinking about my day. If something undesirable or embarrassing happened, I might say "I'm an idiot", almost reflexively. However, forcing myself to say "jmckib, you're an idiot" is much harder to do, because it feels like I'm insulting someone else, an obvious no-no.
SPDY came and went before I had to implement it. Phew.

On a serious note: it's nice to see ALNP being used in HTTP/2
They've said that they don't intend to support this because the web interface has features like previewing images and editing ODF docs. So, in order for that to work, the server has to be able to read the actual file. As others have pointed out, there's a plugin for encryption at rest, but that can be decrypted by the server. Sounds like client side encryption is a no-go for the time being.
It's discontinuous if the value is undefined at the origin. That happens here because the denominator of (x + t) yields a division by zero. A nonzero slope would give a kink in the curve, but not a discontinuity.

One approach to avoiding the whole question of abs(x) would be to use cosine instead of sine, since cosine is symmetric across x = 0.
Oh my god. Why
Would like to understand this better: If you have such a well known brand name like Google or Facebook, why not manage a direct sale to the public via auction and cut out these institutional investors? Even if these institutions threaten to pull out, isnt there enough capital in the markets to absorb a $1B IPO?
Not really - just keep a table of the vat rates and pay the relevant one.
Same thing happened with automobiles - the products became more complex under the hood and user serviceability is much more difficult.
I get skewered, but in this case maybe Marx was right? I thought they had too many stores. In my neck of the woods, they had three within 10 minutes driving?

This company seemed to be having trouble even before the Internet. They seemed to run the stores like it was still
the 50's?(demanding ties, while paying minimum wage=grouchy
employees). The website was always terrible. Marketing was
terrible. Seemed top heavy with assistant regional
managers, corporate big wigs, etc.

My last time shopping
there I bought a tube if Artic 5 to reball a faulty HP graphic chip. The price was more than 2-3 online competitors price. The nice guy helping me said, "You are not are typical customer." I knew what he meant, and I was sad. I walked past the garbage near
the front entrance, the dissy array of phone plans, dodging
marketing stands, and said goodby to the only lonely employee." I
knew that would be my last time in a Radio Shack. (The only reason I can imagine why they loaded up the front of the stores with--crap, is because maybe we don't tinker as much
as I want to think? I know you people do, but the average
consumer--I've seen so many people roll their eyes when I tell them I can fix it. "Just buy a new one!" As to crafts,
like sewing and leather work--I think people will get back into it, but right now it's just easier to buy because their
is a lack of time. I will never forget the neck Ties and the perpetual help wanted sign though.
I have the impression that this may be a regional thing.

Apparently it's an option in the US (but not the default?).

Considering it wasn't even available in Germany for quite a while, I wouldn't be surprised if there are legal requirements surrounding this feature.

Personally still not finding the price justifiable. I'm in the same boat as archagon. To make this worthwhile, at least to a wider audience - you may have luck at your current point, I'd suggest amentities such as: Laundry, buffet or chef (Either on a cheap meal plan, pay as you go, or included), transportation services to local hubs, and group activities as a few ideas.
Are there any good reverse proxies out there that support HTTP/2? Right now I'm using varnish, but I'd love to switch over to something supporting this.

This is just untrue. Even when we modified NXD responses, we were always open about it and let people control their experience.

We are probably the fastest growing (revenue) security company in the market today, and our good reputation is a big part of it. I say fastest growing for at least companies north of $10m ARR. It's easy to be doing 1000% growth < $10m ARR. :-)
