They lost a simple interface designed to edit blog posts and now their marketing team has to use the Github interface and learn Markdown.

They lost the comment system and had to move the data to an external provider, which instantly bit them.

They had to write Python scripts to munge the data.

But now they have the performance of static html. I guess just changing two lines in the nginx configuration did not came to mind.

I think this was a very poor investment and will never pay off.
I am a user of Qihoo 360 softwares like Cloud Storage and Mobile Phone management etc.

In the past(Probably 6 ~ 7 years ago) Qihoo had bad reputation, because it once made its softwares like virus that the user cannot un-install them for competing with the competitors.

After that, I think the company has changed its behaviors that it started emphasizing user experiences. And it also developed an anti-virus and anti-spyware software to be used by the user for free. The company changed the business of anti-virus and anti-spyware softwares in China.

Now I think the company is an good innovative company in China.
This so reminds me of the anime Planetes :)

Sail Around the World While Coworking on Coboat
The outcry was over a female employee being fired. The pattern you're seeing is more likely than not sheer coincidence.
I guess I'm more amazed at how much energy goes into relatively minor advances or even in going backwards. Like the proliferation of frameworks, the difficulty in cross-platform development, how hard scaling remains, etc.
I tried looking for recruiters but maybe I am not looking in the right places, as I just found some sites with job listings, and no responses when I email the recruiters. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Our soil is about perfect for growing what we grow. Topsoil used to be the big thing, before ammonia fertilizer. Now the best crops grow on clay hillsides. Which we have plenty of, since Iowa used to be largely timber.

Confused about the 'importing nutrients' thing - ammonia fertilizer is fixed from the air (since WWII); no more shipping bat guano around the country.
Great visualization! I never truly grasped before just how much stuff we have orbiting the Earth.

1. A way to focus on a specific point on the Earth's surface.

2. Being able to switch perspectives and look up into space from said point.

The article dismisses what corporate Uber provides with:

"what exactly are the capitalists at Uber contributing to the company? [...] The capital owners maintain the phone app, but app technology isn’t the major cost, and it’s getting cheaper and easier by the day"

If true, it should be straightforward for other companies and cooperatives to form and compete with Uber. And that's capitalism at its finest.
TCP should work too, on sufficiently recent kernels. The CRIU developers added kernel support for saving and restoring the internal state of an open connection, including things like sequence numbers and window sizes. It looks like you have to be careful to drop all incoming packets during the migration so that the network stack doesn't get confused, but that should just appear as a temporary network interruption.

The entire userbase doesn't matter that much. The majority of reddit users don't contribute any decent content.

Keeping the minority of users that are actually producing content happy is what they have failed to do and is the real risk - if there's nothing to look at, the rest of the userbase will follow the content somewhere else.
IANAL, but there has to be the presumption of confidentiality, which is non-existent in a situation you described.
Why being on the JavaScript cutting edge matters
> Another complaint is more subtle, but more frightening: that these technologies are exacerbating inequality and driving us towards a "servant" economy, where large pools of poorly paid and economically insecure workers will spend their lives providing all manner of petty services for the well-heeled elite.

This is my biggest fear. When my family lived in Bangladesh, we had a cook, maids, and a full time nanny for me even though my mom didn't work. My dad once sent the nanny out with some money to buy a pack of cigarettes, and he came home empty handed because he couldn't bear to pay a whole day's wage for a pack of cigarettes (my dad went through two packs a day at the time). The value of human labor is just incredibly low over there (or at least was 25 years ago).

That kind of society is a travesty. You don't want that here. Maybe it won't come to pass. I hope it doesn't. But matter how gung-ho you are about the sharing economy or how much faith you have in the market, you should at least fear that potential outcome.
It raises some interesting questions. How much do we need these intermediaries, such as Uber, AirBnB, etc.? Could those things be done on something like Craigslist? A FOSS application?

As I pointed out in the thread on Google's RideWidth, instead of (or in addition to) rideshare companies why can't my municpality license any individual who applies to pickup people on the street who want a ride, and charge them. People wanting a ride could use a special hand signal, with their arm outstretched and thumb pointing up. What do the commercial vendors add or at least, why freeze out individuals doing the same thing?

(I'm not implying they add nothing, I'm asking what it is and whether it's worth the extra cost.)
It should not matter. They mention in the qa after that they are modifying the load balancer to point to each new instance during migration. TCP might drop the connection and reconnect but the results are the same.
Honestly I'm not sure where to begin in the time I have here to write with you...

Consider that IUD usage overlaps only partially with other practices for starters.
It's fine to use intuition, but it's extremely important to be able to reflect and recognize on its shortcomings, which is that you may be inadvertently layering your own subjectivity on what you think is objective. In this case your outburst is not valid.

All morality is subjective and thus so are my views. My views are still valid according to majority consensus DESPITE being subjective. Intuition has shortcomings but not when it comes to something obvious.

>Is forcing yourself on another person immoral? Yes. Is intentionally manipulating someone's relationship for personal gain immoral? Yes. Are two people recognizing they would be happier together, and leaving a previous relationship immoral? That doesn't seem wrong.

The last statement isn't immoral, while the first two are. However I am not addressing any of those things. What I am addressing is this: Allowing yourself to engage in a relationship with and/or develop feelings for your best friends, girlfriend. This is wrong under all counts.

>You are the one coloring this scenario as "stealing". There is no information here about who these people are, what their relationships are like. You are projecting onto this situation and constructing this strawman, and in turn moralizing about the strawman. That isn't reality.

Perhaps "stealing" is an inappropriate word as we are talking about things that are fundamentally impossible to steal. Betrayal is a better word and it is exactly the scenario the OP describes.

If we asked said betrayed founder whether or not he thinks it's betrayal. His answer will be yes. Then if we ask the majority for consensus. The answer will be yes, again.

> All the more reason we as a society need to come up with a better solution to "unskilled people need to eat" beyond blaming the greed of silicon valley companies.

I think part of the reason you see so many people blaming the greed of Silicon Valley companies is that so many "Silicon Valley" people (wealthy and upper-income people associated with Silicon Valley) seem to be ignoring the "unskilled people need to eat" problem or, worse, blaming the "unskilled people" for failing to guess which career paths would be lucrative in the future or for lacking aptitude in those careers.

When a non-negligible portion of the conversation actually turns on people who are effectively (or literally, in some extreme cases) calling for a dictatorship of tech companies, you have to expect people to wonder how much Silicon Valley cares about the rest of the world.
Things You May Not Know About Go (2012)
The study was uncontrolled, so we don't know how much of that is the placebo effect (which typically is anywhere between 11 and 46% for CFS treatments). It will be interesting to see the results of the upcoming controlled study. A previous controlled study did show positive results, but it was quite small.

This is a big issue for systems like this, but I believe it could be addressed through machine learning algorithms. Rather than a spam filter, you have a child porn filter, or a whatever-it's-illegal-to-host-in-my-jurisdiction filter. At least in the child pornography case I believe it could be fairly effectively detected, though of course keeping the model up-to-date would be difficult.

Diet and exercise were certainly where I started. That was seven years ago. Still no joy.

Infections eventually go away. Maybe. Or we treat them with drugs, diet etc. Stress can be reduced, managed, eliminated. We can change the food we put in our bodies.

Pluto and Charon Surfaces in Living Color
The preferred geosynch orbit has an inclination of 0deg, as that minimizes it's apparent motion in the sky. But this requires a lot of fuel for N/S stationkeeping.
The reason the orbits get inclined is because they're being pulled from the side by the sun and moon, and just like any other rotating object pulled by a lateral force, their axis precesses (just like a top). Left to itself, the orbit cycles between 0 and 14 deg inclination.

This article has some fantastic examples of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivated_reasoning

For example:

> under the guise of innovation and progress, companies are stripping away worker protections, pushing down wages, and flouting government regulations

Re: wages, when Uber shared this data (http://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-money-uber-drivers-r...) it looked like the average driver made more not less, though the data does come directly from Uber so it should be taken with a grain of salt.

Re: flouting government protections and worker protections (and ignoring that these are one and the same), I'd really like to know what specifically the assumed drawback is...

> you don’t become worth $40 billion by sharing and caring. You become worth $40 billion by ripping off the people who work for you.

This is obviously false -- the sheer number of startups and companies that die by ripping off (and hence pissing off) their employees and customers is staggering. In the case of Uber, the main source of complaints is not the drivers or customers... it's Uber's competition, such as the Taxi coops this article describes in glowing terms. (#include the french riots)

The only driver complaints I'm aware of basically stem from the interest misalignment caused by Uber's taking a 20% commission from drivers rather than X% after estimated driver expenses. This led to the recent price cuts looking a whole lot better to Uber (who directly profited from the increased usage) than it did to the drivers (who now have a much lower profit-per-faire)... but given that driver income is still effectively 2x the minimum wage I still have a hard time considering this "evil" in any traditional sense.

> The efficiency gains of connecting workers to customers via the internet applications will drive down prices and thus incomes, while the new profits created will all get sucked up by the small group of Silicon Valley companies that created the platforms, along with their shareholders.

AND consumers (who collectively are profiting the most here). For example, eBay did make the founders wealthy, but it's ludicrous to claim they somehow sucked all the wealth away from everyone else. Business isn't zero sum, and easy access to cheap used electronics (or access to ubiquitous high quality low cost rides) is being ignored in this analysis.

Okay, I think that's all I can take. I hope no one takes OP seriously.

Turning a Niche Marketplace into an Industry Play
Uber doesn't own the capital, the article is correct. But that doesn't mean it could just as easily be a cooperative of freelance drivers.

What Uber brings to the table is the funding to change (seemingly by any needs necessary) the regulation that made the taxi industry so crap in the first place. For better or for worse.

Is the exploitative structure of the taxi industry a result of regulation? Seems reasonably likely.

They're absolutely right that there's nothing "sharing economy" about Uber in particular. Nobody really believes that they're hitching a ride with a friendly person, just because that driver was "headed in that direction anyway".

AirBNB is more plausibly sharing (if, as the article points out, you think "sharing" means "getting paid for something"). In theory reducing underutilized housing units is a great thing.

Of course, it also drives up the value of that very housing (capital), which can exacerbate the rich/poor divide. Piketty would have a thing or two to say about this.

Millennials: the best Silicon Valley company to work for
Presumably they add a degree of quality control, something government is notoriously ill-equipped to provide. That said, allowing any individual with a car to license themselves and go out in the world to earn their fortune seems even more a Randian dream than the Uber system.

If nothing else, Uber's disruption of traditional taxi services has started a conversation. It begs us to rethink how we hire private transportation, how businesses that facilitate these services operate, and how workers who provide these services are compensated. That's a good thing.
So, just how specific does cultural satire have to get before you won't declare it racism?

I ask, because "Chinese" includes about 56 recognized ethnic groups in mainland China. I don't think we can say whether this character is Han, Zhuang, Hui, or necessarily any specific race that happens to exist primarily within the borders of what we call the nation of China.

Seems to me that character is more making fun of the culture of a nation than of a single ethnic group (or even some set of ethnic groups). If they had a character that made fun of, say, British culture, would that be OK with you? Or only if the character was white? (Which would seem awfully racist to me.)

Or is it only safe to satirize culture if the subject of the satire has ethnic roots in the Caucuses?

Or is it not about ethnicity, but appearance? Is it enough if they merely appear white? Because that opens the comedic landscape far beyond the Caucasus. Can we satirize Mexican culture, provided we limit it to Mexicans of European descent? (Again, how racist is that?)

There are some real battles worth fighting, but this really seems like a cosmetic one to me, no matter how much you think it "smells like racism."

It's like some people have a sense of indignation that's only tuned to detect a few things, and throw any sense of nuance or concept of false-positives out the window.

The real issue here is that we have an increasing number of unskilled people chasing a smaller and smaller number of unskilled jobs. The real devaluing force here for unskilled labor is the automation of everything.

If the drivers think its bad now, wait until Google and Uber launch driverless car fleets! Then they will earn $0 a hour, and worse, they will be chasing even fewer unskilled jobs.

The lesson then is that if you are under 18 and not getting a university degree, you are doomed to subsidence living -- this is what the market is telling us -- you need to be an automator and not something that is automatable.

Answer: There is some neat stuff happening at Google, but the typical employee is doing the boring maintenance that any large business requires. As a bonus insult, they're ridiculously overqualified for grunt work and they didn't think that was what they signed up for.

For a typical software engineer at Google, it's like being a janitor at NASA. Some neat stuff is happening there, but you aren't a part of it.

Also, if you have a couple of years at Google or Facebook, future employers/investors will automatically assume you're qualified, even if you aren't. That opens lots of opportunities. It's also a big contrast from what a typical software engineer sees, where they're asked FizzBuzz on every job interview.

Gomodel – A high performance,ORM-like library for Go without pain of reflection
CFS, like most "syndromes", isn't really a well understood disease but rather a cluster of related symptoms that might indicate a currently unknown disease should a cause or mechanism be discovered. Are you chronically fatigued and the doctors can't diagnose an understood cause? Must be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Did your infant suddenly die and the doctors can't figure out how? Must be Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

What this indicates is that, for a subset of people who are chronically fatigued for no reason that the doctors can figure out, there might be some kind of underlying autoimmune reaction that responds to this kind of treatment. If the mechanism is better understood and can be diagnosed, tested, and treated, then it's not Chronic Fatigue Syndrome anymore, but rather an actual disease.
Speaking of interviews, there's an interesting event in Australia at the moment. A program on the ABC called Q&A invited a person suspected of terrorism onto the program. That in itself isn't fascinating (at least to me).

The Australian Prime Minister has threatened one of the countries News Sources (ie. the ABC who aired the show), this includes a change of leadership of ABC - and as the ABC is government funded, almost certainly funding cuts. The government has clearly threatened a media outlet - not for being prejudiced, but for allowing a view to be expressed.

It's fascinating people think an interview between Stalin and Wells is a W-T-F. What better way to understand differing views than to sit down and talk. I really don't understand the notion that suppressing an argument will make it go away. It reminds me of security through obfuscation.
