See I think they've got it ass-backwards.

Rather than throw electronics at all kids and see which ones it sticks to they could make the Microbit freely available to that particular year group - all you need do is reach out your hand and take it. Then the 1 in 10, or whatever, that bother to try it can be bought a RPi with the savings. If you can't even be bothered to pick one up at your school library or send an email saying "yes please" and have it handed to you in class then the chances of you watching TV programs to learn how to use it are probably about nil.

Say this was sport, would you buy every kid a rugby ball? If you just buy enough so that everyone who wants one can get it then those that want to play rugby can have kit paid for too.
Does anyone know how to manually send these complaints to Google? Eg if you run your own mailserver and some Gmail account is spamming you?

Thank you for the link to the wikipage, I didn't know about FBL. It's disappointing that the page can't provide more information on how feedback loops are established between mailbox providers though.
That's a good point but I don't have any time to do those things (but it would be fun).

That said if you've never flown a gas rc you should give it a try (if you can afford it since they are typically more expensive than an electric especially when you crash and have to fix them..)

I just got done with a week long airbnb stay in New York City, taking uber all the time.

I talked to my airbnb host like twice - I would have loved a hotel but it was way cheaper. I hate talking to uber drivers. It's just a cheap convenient not terrible taxi.

The reason VCs didn't get airbnb isn't because they aren't millennials. It's because they're not cheap enough.

Relating to the problems of poor people is extremely difficult when you're rich.
Isn't MicroSD what you want? Even when hard discs were tiny they were bigger than any floppies. Zip drives were possibly the closest, but they were only used because they were portable, not because they were any good.
Are you saying if I think someone is in a jerk then they are actually being empathetic in a different way?
Friendster: The Trials and Errors of a Silicon Valley Visionary
Reminds me a bit of what I recall as a unix principle: The API should be designed so that the implementation is simple, even if that makes the use complex.
According to that logic we don't need courts, police, government, etc at all. I think it's a great idea, but practically speaking it's not awesome.

I like the idea of a microkernel government better than the monolithic thing that we currently have, where you can subscribe to police and fire and whatever. I'd prefer that the government mostly provide courts and a system by which other areas of natural monopoly are better managed (like roads, utilities, etc). But to suggest that we don't need a government at all is pretty radical.

If you can't see that "I said they're adults, and are perfectly capable of settling disputes among themselves without resorting to violence" leads DIRECTLY to the government isn't really necessary, then I don't know what to say.

GPUs these days have MMUs and have address spaces allocated per context. It's implemented internally to the driver though so you don't see it. And it's normally mapped differently, but the point of AMD's HSA stuff is to make the CPU's and GPU's MMU match up.
I don't agree. In my experience, somebody who can't deal effectively with people will get hired for technical skills and be largely put on the slow track where the benefits of their technical expertise can be reaped while not having to deal with the negatives of their social weaknesses. (I was that guy once. I got better.)

One thing I've gotten better at--with a derivative that's much steeper than the rise in my technical skills over time--is a kind of empathy that I can use in a professional context. What I've found that this lets me do (this can also be read "forces me to do") is understand others' needs and actually care about them at a level that makes it important for me to do the right thing. People can tell when you give a shit about them, and they're more likely to entrust you with responsibility even when you may not be, from a technical or historical perspective, the best candidate. Not just because they like you, but because they can have confidence in your desire to do well, with their interests in mind. That matters.
Do you have any links to the studies?
You'd be surprised. Jet engines are designed to be robust against some really crazy scenarios (I'm amazed a jet engine continues to function during the water injection tests I've seen), but all it takes is one blade failure -- with many to choose from in various places in the engine -- and it's game over. One can imagine many ingestions that might cause a blade failure, because the rotating fans in a jet engine are very high energy environments. With the right alignment of planets and hitting just right, a model rocket might cause a failure. It all depends and is hard to predict. Most people would predict modern engines as likely to survive ingestion of geese, but then we had US 1549 (and a USAF E-3 at Elmendorf before it).

Even though the FAA has engine manufacturers like GE test the hell out of engines, it's tough to predict what will happen in the real world. Birds are a huge threat to aviation, both engine ingestion and windscreen collisions, and birds are mostly organic. (It goes without saying to stand the hell away from an operating jet engine even at idle, too, because humans do get ingested with fatal results.) I can't imagine an operating engine ingesting a drone or anything else with non-organic components would go well, and this is why I always advocate very strongly for safe drone operation.

Here's an intentional intake blade failure to ascertain whether the engine can contain the failure without threatening the aircraft; this is useful to see what happens if something is ingested that causes a catastrophic blade failure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAhjSviYVr8

Well, what I mean to say is that talk about empathy is sometimes talk about "just agree with me and stop with all your opinions otherwise". Which is of course the opposite of envy. I don't really understand about the inception stuff.

"Why should you explicitly work to enhance your ability to empathize with others?"

There's a reason why empathy is declining and I think it's related to the disconnect individuals have when moving from situations where the "We" has been superseded by the "I".

If you live, work with a number of individuals working together, where everyone has particular skills and roles then find yourself in a situation where your existence is on the line, co-operation will beat individuals. You see this in nature where big cats hunt in teams, with combat troops and to an extent startups. Empathy is a by-product, because if you don't help them out, you fail.

People can get a taste of this playing competitive team sports.
What I learned running the Launch Incubator for 12 weeks
I disagree with your comment. I'm sharing my disagreement via this comment rather than down voting (because I don't do that).

I think Google and others should feel free to experiment, shut down closed experiments once the time is right, and not have to be obligated to spend resources on archiving things. As long as migrating is easy.
> When it's a work-related function //

Was it? It wasn't clear but seemed like it wasn't any more work-related than work being the way the attendees met? Hence the question in my comment.

If it's work sponsored (your work is paying for attendance) then you'd be absolutely right. But if it's just a hen-do for work colleagues then men wouldn't have a right to be there by virtue of employment; and vice-versa of course.
How I came to create the mascot for RethinkDB
Instacart needs less cash to expand (compared with Amazon, which also delivers groceries in some urban areas) since it doesn't have to build warehouses or large stores.

If your gross margin is negative, then the "extra cash" from not investing in warehouses just goes straight to the customer's pocket instead, instead of towards a capital asset that actually lowers your variable costs.

And lets not kid, anybody who knows instacart's revenue model and the margins of the grocery industry knows with about 99% certainty that instacart is losing money with every sale. Buy it all up while the VCs are feeling charitable, cause its going to dry up very quickly.
What took it so long? That's my question honestly. Google code was already dead for at least two years.

> abuse management

The article gives the impression that they were combating some sort of systemic (malicious?) abuse. I don't doubt the statement, but I'm having trouble picturing exactly what they're going through. What kind of abuse do project hosting providers face on a recurring basis?
She appealed her 2013 conviction, on Second Amendment and self-defense grounds, claiming she had a right to the weapon to protect herself from what she said was an abusive father of her children... She was caught with the device outside a grocery store after allowing the authorities, who were looking for a shoplifter, to search her purse.

That's a pretty sympathetic defendant. Somehow I doubt the Massachusetts court will get the last word on this one.

Pinnacle Entertainment Group, Las Vegas, NV.

A young, growing, high-energy casino group (whose most recent analytics hire came from HN and is fantastic!) seeks a quantitative and critical thinker to join as an analyst. You will work with customer data to help make strategic business decisions/recommendations related both to our casino floors and to our marketing program (largely, but not exclusively, direct mail).

Your work will have a direct impact on our bottom line. Think: "Moneyball" meets marketing. If you get excited by data, prediction, inference, and Las Vegas, this is probably a good fit for you.

The ideal candidate has 1-2 years data experience (new or upcoming grads also welcome to apply!), a quantitative degree (math/cs/hard science/econ) and exposure to SQL (or relational databases in general). But whatever your background, if you can demonstrate that you're a smart and quick-thinking data geek, I'd love to chat with you.

There is room for growth within the company, and I'm really excited about where our group is headed. We're automating and standardizing processes and reporting, building predictive models, developing test methodology and analyses, and becoming a key and highly visible business partner to many groups throughout the company.

You raise a great point. It's highly likely that AirBNB is a success _despite_ the social possibilities not because of them. It's just a cheaper way to stay somewhere.
> What Google is doing makes sense from a business stand point but totally shameful from a company that boasts itself doing "no evil".

Oh come on! I'm not a fan of everything Google does, and I can see, and in part agree with, the point you are trying to make, but this is just grasping at straws. You just lost all credibility with this comment.

Yes, I can see unmaintained code being lost here, and that is unfortunate. But Google provided this service for free, a service they started to promote open source software development. They noticed that there was a big move to other hosting platforms, that they themselves also believe are better than theirs. This has led to support for this platform to be little more than dealing with abuse cases, and they feel that the benefit to the community no longer outweighs the cost of the platform.

They have gone out of their way to provide ways to migrate code from Google Code to these other "better" platforms, and they are giving people over 18 months to migrate their code:

> January 25, 2016 - The project hosting service is closed. You will be able to download a tarball of project source, issues, and wikis. These tarballs will be available throughout the rest of 2016.

They really didn't have to provide any of this.

None of this is "evil". There are plenty of acts that Google do that border on "evil", but this is really just the wrong one to choose to call them out on.

What do you really expect them to do here?
I wonder if we'll see opengl-old implemented on top of vulkan. Actually one thing I would love to see is vulkan on linux accessible from userspace without any involvement of a window server, so that you can write the rest of the APIs on top of it. Maybe even have graphical console running on it.

Thanks for pointing this out and for the link. I'm sort of surprised to see that sort of opinion published in the tech media. I agree with everything the author says... including how nice Github is to use, and I too use it all the time.

At the same time the secret to Github's success in my opinion is all of you hackers who use it to collaborate, not their genius business model or anything like that.

When git was gaining traction they were quickest to pivot that way because, well, they had nothing to pivot away from. The real test IMO with only come when the git-killer scm tool starts to take off; if they can keep their market share at that point then I'll be really impressed.
I'm really sorry to hear my article has wasted your time. You are right, it was rambling. I'm kind of like that and it just surfaces, no matter how hard I try to behave!

Basically, rthomas6 explained it better. But may you allow me to rephrase myself, as a complement as much as an excuse?

There are 3 points.

The first says that Lisp is simple because once you know how to write function calls in classic language (like C, Java, Javascript...), you have all you need to write Lisp code. And really any Lisp code, not just function calls in Lisp.

The second point was that more classic languages go not just one but many different syntax routes while one is good enough to code.

Concretely, for a whole month I was thinking first as writing Java code and then translating it mentally into Lisp. Until I reached enough confidence to let that go and just code in Lisp. When I did that, everything fell apart. Except for one rule: write chainable action perimeters. It is enough, no matter how astonishing it may seem.

The last point was not much about saying that Lisp is beautiful. If anything, I find it elegant but not quite beautiful. No, the last point was about saying it is enough to look at Lisp for 5 minutes and then you are good to go.

Both ways really.

Use it right away, totally possible. Go away from it, entirely reasonable too. Just know that not much other language can maintain such a degree of decency because they generally claim more of your time right at the beginning while also having the nerve to give less.

In short, I'm saying Lisp is nothing special. In particular, it hasn't the ability to illuminate your own programming practice. I'm just saying that from my own particular experience, it does have illuminated my practice because of the other languages.

Lisp has not made me step forward because of what it is in itself. It made me step forward because every other programming languages I practiced have made me walk backwards.
I've seen arguments that this is (part of?) the reason why women are generally more empathic than men.

Microsoft also have an "Windows Easy Transfer" - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/feature... - but read the FAQ to find out that it doesn't transfer apps.

In addition to doing an upgrade, users also have to use some other random pieces of software which may be paid, and not a single one will guarantee that your new system will be like your old one. Still a very hard sell.
A sympathetic defendant doesn't really matter as a ruling would affect everyone, including some less sympathetic people. The quote of the opinion makes a good case that although by some measures electrocuting someone with 50k volts is less dangerous than poking a hole in them with a bullet, it may still be "rationally [banned] in the interest of public health, safety, or welfare".

I don't think she'll get very far if she's going to keep arguing she should be allowed to have something that's not a gun because of the Second Amendment.
My read was "Uber nailed the black car/taxi experience. We'll concede that ground. But the fastest growing segment of Lyft (and Uber) is ride sharing and that's good because that's actually where Lyft started. So we're going to talk just about ride sharing as we go forward and try and redefine the landscape" I think the cherry on top was the subtle jab about a huge Suburban for one person which can happen with Uber.

> Modern has not quite flopped, but is not all that popular considering the amount of resources Wizards has poured into it - and this is attributable to a lack of diversity of decks caused by the more restricted pool of cards.

The fact that a card like Tarmogoyf goes for $200 shows that Modern is far from unpopular.

Modern isn't as popular because it's 1) expensive and 2) complicated. To play Modern and have any hope of winning you had better be ready to throw down chunks of $1K and know the mechanics of Magic really well (a good Modern player is probably more knowledgeable than most low-level Magic judges). You also have to know which cards out of the 10,000+ can be used against you. etc. That's a big investment of time and money.

Standard format -- $20 gets you into Sealed and Draft. $500 gets you the most expensive deck in Constructed. That's a LOT cheaper and you only have to know about a couple hundred cards.

If they really wanted Legacy or Modern to be popular, the solution is really easy. Put big prizes behind winning them. Suddenly everybody will be playing Modern.

They don't want Modern and Legacy to be driving things. They don't make money from those formats. They make money selling new cards--and that's all about Standard.
> Anyone who thinks Airbnb is a "social experience" hasn't used and doesn't understand Airbnb.

That's far too strong a claim. Most times I've used Airbnb have been social experiences—pleasant ones in fact, that I wouldn't have had otherwise.

I'd say the same about Lyft, come to think of it.
Hmmm, I'm not sure what you're saying. What point does it prove? I've been using Haskell for general purpose programming for five years now and I've found it to be exceptionally well-suited.
Nor the internet and television when they wrote the first amendment.

I find it odd that that judgement gave such importance to the technology available at the time of writing the amendment instead of the spirit of it.
Yes.

I'm not using the V8 engine. Tiny embedded engine, no super powers other than EC5 correct, small size, and reasonable performance.

Of course V8 and its multimillion dollar development cost rivals probably only have this superpower because programers kept writing quadratic code.

It depends on what kind of bubble you're in, and how negligent your investors are regarding due diligence. Obviously, if you invest $100k in a business in exchange for $25k services rendered, that isn't $25k of "real" revenue.

During the 1999 .com bubble, Yahoo (iirc) and some other companies invested in startups, in exchange for an agreement to purchase their services. That let the corporation pad its revenue, inflate its earnings, and with an already-high P/E ratio, gullible investors bought.
So potentially non-lethal means of self defence are bad, but a weapon that can slaughter a classroom are A-okay. As a Canadian, American logic is kinda terrifying.
This seems like a poor time to claim Wizards has solved speculation. Five years ago you would've been on firmer ground.

Thanks in part to Wizards aggressively growing the number of players and former addicted teens now being in their 30s with commensurate disposable income, MtG speculation today is at an all time high - speculators prefer the cute term "MtG finance". There's orders of magnitude more speculators today than there's been in 20 years, and it's driving up card prices incredibly - not great if you want to play the game. Active players going up year after year after year provides fuel for speculators, but if the game ever has a down year the speculators are due for a painful contraction if not a bubble bursting.
Is a 1kg drone at 300 feet operated by a stupid person really much worse than a stupid 1kg bird at 300 feet?

What do you think about falconry?
Fair enough. You have probably heard arguments similar to mine hundreds of times, thanks again for answering.

For what is worth, I never depend on the truthyness of falsyness of 0 and "", and always test for them explicitly, so it will not affect my code if in a distant future javascript starts treating them as truthy. Just, you know, in case you change your mind in the future.

Good night!
