The parts I can digest:

Query complexity is about how much of the input needs to be read? Possibly about how many times each bit of the input needs to be read?

There are different models of computation being compared: the familiar deterministic algo on classical computer, random algo (with zero error or with bounded error) on classical computer, and bounded error algo on quantum computer.

They went looking for functions whose query complexity on different models of computation would have Interesting And Unexpected relationships.

The (1) item basically means they found a function for which the gap in query complexity (between running a bounded-error algorithm on a quantum computer and a deterministic algorithm on a classical computer) is larger than previously conjectured; "there exists at least one problem for which the advantage a bounded-error quantum algorithm has over a deterministic algorithm is even bigger than previously thought."
i agree with jeremya. i have both a son (older) and daughter. my daughter is the one with whom we must be more stern because she is a free-spirited boundary-pusher. our parenting emotions swing the greatest with her as well. however, we also have the most belly-laughs per hour with her. our son is an entertainer, but he's much more of an even personality and is a rule-follower/enforcer.

i dont think that it's simply reducible to gender because there are many other factors at play (birth order, age difference, personality, birth trauma, age/stage of life of both parent and child, etc.). if you can control for all of those other things, then maybe you could test for gender interactions, but then you'd only have data for that set of controls.
I still think there is a healthy amount of teasing and there is too much teasing. People can tell when it is too much. Often people who were brought up in an environment with pervasive teasing (typically from siblings) do not have a sense of "how much is too much" when they become adults. The continue to tease beyond the point that is sensitive and healthy and fun - they are not tuned in to the impact of their teasing. Others notice it though - like wives. Typically though the over-teaser dismisses such concerns.

This guy says "biggest discussion my wife and I have is whether I tease them and push them too much". I read that as someone who is not in touch with the fact that he is over-teasing, and is not effective at putting himself in the shoes of others to see and feel what that teasing is like.

When adult tease, they are carrying on the behaviour they learned in the family situation as children. They have not learned that teasing is a behaviour either best left in childhood or strongly curtailed/regulated - it's not an effective way to relate to people if you are an adult, does not grow relationships. Except perhaps as described in the case of this article where a bit of teasing with the kids is fun. A bit.
Using solar especially for desalination will only improve the CO2 balance if the same solar can't be used for other purposes, displacing currently CO2 emitting sources. In other words, why now build better rainwater conservation systems and use the solar plant to cut down on CO2 somewhere else?

BTW you're right that agriculture water usage is much bigger than "city" usage, but the latter is still not negligible.

I've seen this, anecdotally, in trying to buy a house in the bay area. I've lost two serious bids to "foreign investors" who pay 10% above asking price, 100% cash, with no contingencies. I've heard stories of these properties going vacant, as well. It's frustrating.

An acquaintance who works as a wealth management consultant made an interesting point: there are hot markets in other areas of the country, but SFO is right here. The bay's accessibility could be exacerbating our problems, ironically.

He is advising his clients to pull out of real estate in California right now - not so much because of a potential bubble, but because the market is so bizarre.
Someone else posted last night (I'm on my phone or I would search for the post) about Stripe support. Looking at their Twitter stream it appears they are having a very difficult time managing their support infrastructure and do not have a trouble ticket system. I love Stripe's API and have helped several clients integrate it, but as the developer-friendly, anti-PayPal processor they were once known for, this development is very discouraging. I know Patrick and John are active on here so hopefully they will see this and come up with a solution.

> The OP suggested that Apple is mainly successful because it is exaggerating the value of its proprietary efforts in its marketing vs. the success it has had co-opting the work of open source software.

No, he or she did not. I repeat myself: there is not a mention of Apple's success in the comment you're responding to, much less that this tactic is the principal reason for it. The argument is only that this tactic is something that Apple does plenty of. Every mention of Apple's success, starting with the comment of yours that I replied to, is a derailment.

You're either totally disingenuous here (by intentionally arguing against a point that was never made) or totally confused (by arguing by mistake against a point that was never made).

It is quite likely that certain outrage deflating details were left out. Stripe and Paypal are polar opposites in my experience.
You mean the money is actually going to poor people? Sounds like a plus to me.
probably the same kind that our schools are using to evaluate educational success. one that fits a narrow perspective of success.
A typical person will do 2 or 3 transactions in a normal day - that's about a minute of work inputting them in to Excel or Wally or something. And yet they don't. I don't think knowledge or forecasting is enough of an incentive for people to want to record what they spend. That is the problem that needs solving. At least, I think that's the problem. It could be the case that failing to control what you spend just isn't enough of a pain point for people to need a solution. It might be worthwhile testing that before writing any code.
Not just corporate, don't forget that Mono exists. And things like Unity include it, which means a lot of games are written in C#.
What's needed is some sort of branding strategy for taste. Stores love premium products. They have a much higher profit margin and they reduce price sensitivity on the mainstream products. "These expensive carrots are $4/bunch, these other ones at $2/bunch must be a good deal," even if $2/bunch isn't a good deal for carrots.

That strategy has worked well in the branded section of the grocery store; I'm sure they'd love to extend it into the produce section too.

Actual brand names wouldn't work; that would imply larger farms, which worry more about volume and consistency than taste.

Sort of like the labels "local" and "organic". Sometimes those are tastier, but usually the difference is imperceptible. It's also really annoying to pay the price premium for those labels when you're just looking for a possible side effect.

I'm guessing that it would probably be a store initiative rather than a supplier or industry one. It would take a while to establish the trust for such a brand and easy to overuse and destroy it, but I think it could be a great win-win for stores and taste-conscious consumers.
Something that I've found extremely valuable with API design for public facing APIs is use readme driven development. I think it complements a lot of the points brought up in the PDF .
Have you tweeted to them?
Kids seek the holes (inconsistencies) in rules. It's part of becoming their own person.

When a child is very young, they are incapable of distinguishing themselves from their parents or other people. As they develop the ability to make that distinction, they begin to test it. This is where the "no!"s come from in a 2 year old.

As they get older they begin to realize that each person is different. So they see if they get a different answer from mom vs. dad. It's normal and I would not pull back from being friendly with your daughter. Just make sure you and your wife are on the same page about common scenarios like food, candy, TV, video games, etc.
Alternative version:

You build the DFA on-the-fly from an NFA built on-the-fly. Also reasonably simple, and it doesn't require building the entire DFA unless the entire DFA is actually needed.
Yes it does for me. Ublock Origin 0.9.9.1 on Chrome.
eclipse and intuitive shouldn't ever be used in the same sentence. emacs ditto, but calling one more intuitive from another is missing the point by about 1 AU.
That's an interesting point. I hadn't considered the impact of ondemand updates to future abandonware - looks like another case where pirated illegal versions might have better preservation than official ones.
Because it's using a bargain-level chip from 2013 that doesn't even have support for LTE, let alone a decent amount of memory.

I have a 4.5 as well. Not yet had a chance to look at the dev side of things, but for a typical phone user Ubuntu is very far from being ready for primetime. (Which I don't particularly mind, as I bought the phone for its hacking potential; for everything else there is iPhone).

No need to rewrite anything - all they need are a few UI improvements. Its not like their backend is MongoDB or something. ^_^
> The OP suggested that Apple is mainly successful because it is exaggerating the value of its proprietary efforts in its marketing vs. the success it has had co-opting the work of open source software.

That wasn't what I was saying. While I'm sure that their PR contributed to their success (as all successful adverts help sell products), if Apple's products weren't also done to a high quality then their adverts wouldn't have made a difference. So I will always credit Apple for releasing well polished products. But in any case, I wasn't commenting about the success of Apple nor their products.

My complaint is that the incremental improvements that Apple bring to the industry - regardless of how sleek they may be - isn't itself innovation. And I'm saying that their proprietary efforts are actually a relatively minor part of their wider software stack. But obviously being the front end, it's what people recognise as being "Apple" so all of the fundamental open source components that power iPhones and Macbook Pros get forgotten about.

I guess if were to argue that I was having an emotional response to anything, it would be that the true innovators of the technology we use get forgotten about. eg the creators of the programming language C - for without which there wouldn't be Objective C or Java. Or the creators of UNIX, for without which we wouldn't have Mach or Linux. In many ways, Dennis Ritchie contributed more to the technology that powers our smartphones than Apple and Google have, yet his death was a footnote only noticed by us geeks.

But I'm drifting massively off topic now.
I am glad you dont mind typing your transactions but it is unwise to assume everyone is like you in this case. It may turn out only a few people are willing to manually input data or maybe most people are like you. Either way this is something that can be tested with usability tests, and I recommend doing so.
Of course yield increases are important and exciting. But they have to be delivered in a seed that will resist drought, insects, wind, heat and fungus. No farmer will plant a hybrid twice that fails them once.

...backpressure (used in reactive GUI IIRC)...

And unix pipes, and node.js streams...

Your intuition about a middle ground is interesting. Perhaps one of javascript's derivative languages could come up with some syntax to make using this more intuitive, because let's face it node.js streams would be easier to use if there were some way of plumbing them together that didn't look like Java from 1999.

It's largely accepted that while you can use gdb, it's not really good at debugging go code. from your own link.. "GDB does not understand Go programs well"

https://github.com/derekparker/delve delve as mentioned other places is more of a true go debugger
Often you can export your transactiondata to csv or a similar format. GNU cash can do this.
You can also use mdb[1] though mdb is somewhat more suited to debugging the Go runtime itself rather then user programs.

Mdb support for Go will be significantly improved in the short term.

Also note that since Go has (optional) frame pointers, tools like DTrace, ktap, kprobes and uprobes, etc work much better (almost as well as for C). SystemTap works too, just that it chokes on Go DWARF without a patch. I will probably fix this soon.

If you are kidding (I just can't decide), be aware that Microsoft killed Netscape at the 90's because Netscape was starting to sell exactly that VM.

When Netscape became Mozilla, it shipped with XUL runner, that is exactly that, but nobody used it.

Firefox OS is that, again, sold for smartphones.

If they come out with a good VM (measured by the languages it can run), and a good DOM-like organization, it will happen in no time. But if we get another XUL, it just won't happen.
No, you're thinking about this all wrong, the valuation is due to all the physical assets they own.

More seriously, these kinds of valuations send a powerful signal that physical property ownership should be viewed less and less as an asset to a company and more as a burden.

Since AirBnB shifts the property ownership over to their room network, shifts up and down in the short-term rental market hurts them and provides a buffer to AirBnB. Traditional hoteliers have to keep maintaining empty rooms in the event the industry picks back up, or build more rooms if the industry is at a high. On the flip-side, AirBnB can be sensitive to local regulations and property owners might simply decide to not have their place up for rent, making availability a slight risk.

To put this valuation into perspective, Marriott International has a Mkt Cap of $21.5B They're the 3rd largest hotel group on the planet and own something like 125,000 rooms.

Airbnb claims 1,000,000 listings, but owns none. Makes money only off of the service fees (6-12%) and credit card processing (3%).

Looked at another way, this valuation says to the hotel industry "having professional employees and facilities is eating into your bottom-line", because AirBnB simply doesn't have to assume those costs.

Prediction: regular hotel rooms will start showing up AirBnB within 5 years.

Is there a reason for this, or is this simply to slow down the demand until they make it available in other countries?

It seems to me the "official" Ubuntu phones (from Meizu and BQ) are reluctant to come to the North American market.

Right, and then the credit card company sends that information to the merchant via the gateway (Stripe).

The free trial is limited to three months, so it's simply false to equate it with 'free' or 'freemium'.

Apple is asking labels to offer users access to their music for free during the trial period. I.e. Apple isn't going to subsidize the music during the trials.

The real question is - why is beggar's banquet afraid of giving their listeners a 3 month free trial? Are they afraid that people won't want to continue listening to their artists after that?
i still can't agree with you. are you implying that playful office banter with my coworkers is childish and should not exist? are you stating that joking with friends is childish and should have been discarded in primary school?

what if his wife is overly sensitive to teasing because of a lack of its presence in her formative years and, as such, she never learned to cope with it and he's giving an appropriate amount of teasing? i just dont think that we have enough information to levy specific criticisms against this poster.
I just tried the feature out on my windows pc with chrome, and chrome only reacts to ok google when you have a new, empty tab, or the google search page open and active as the main tab. Additionally i checked with procmon what network activity chrome was making, and while it starts sending stuff AFTER "ok google" is activated, it doesn't send any between me saying it and chrome confirming it.

The theory that it's a small local plugin is also affirmed by the fact that my cellphone can do "ok google" without any sort of network, and is sometimes tricked into activating by audiobooks that make noises completely unlike "ok google".

That's true. An obvious solution is "keep IO out of your lazy computations", which hopefully you can get some language help with. There are some attempts at other approaches as well.

How to Design the Perfect Email for Your Email Subcribers
How does he know Chrome is transmitting ALL conversations that it hears? His arguments aren't valid:

"(Ok, so how does it know to start listening just before I’m about to say ‘Ok, Google?’)"

This could easily be achieved offline.

The same argument could be made for Siri, a wiretapping device which you carry with you all the time. In fact wiretapping your phone would be much more effective then wiretapping a computer browser application.

Before making such accusations he should present some solid data, like network traffic from an idle chrome application during conversations (with and without saying "Okay Google"). If an idle chrome application was always transmitting data to google, he would have a solid argument.
