@jakozaur thanks for your feedback. We are always working on new features, trip optimization is high on the list! ;).
EDIT: I watched the whole video last night - he has an interesting take on where AI research needs to go. Also, his article in the latest Communications of the ACM is very good, and I recommend it.
Google is also a software company with this reasoning.
Wouldn't you have to use `React.createFactory` in this case as well? (when not dealing with React.DOM components)

I hadn't heard about melatonin until a thread on reddit where everyone was raving about it and sharing stories about how it knocks them right out. Now I ocassionally take a pill, but I don't really feel any effects and I'm still not entirelly sure if it is putting me to sleep faster or not. I still take it at least for the placebo effect and because it's fairly cheap.
Truth is that most reservation systems are built on TPF and it isn't really easy to replace.
What's interesting is that most people these days would agree that sexual orientation is not a choice. This is fine when we are talking about equal rights for homosexuals, but for some reason is abhorrent when we are talking about a orientation that is undesirable for society. (And thus classified as a mental disorder).

Even if there is no crime involved, and there won't ever be. I blame the media for misusing the word "pedophile" to mean child molester.
I have to say that the complexity of finance is more like the artificial complexity of Java EE, a regular developer can get a grasp of the Linux kernel by reading "Operating System Concepts", finance is more like a AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean.
This story came to mind: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23869462
Interesting, but how does this translate into concrete savings for me? Any concrete examples?
They paid $7.2 billion for it [1], so it actually looks like a net loss. I guess there might be tax aspects which make it a good idea to take a big writeoff now.

Upvoted, because you hit the core issue. A lot of money is just betting and doing no research past staring at stock valuation chart.

Sell if stock is going down, buy if it goes up. That tends to amplify random noise to a high level of volatility.

Contagion risk to the rest of Chinese economy is what the people should be worried about. A lot of the bets have been done with money loaned from somewhere. This will affect the rest of the economy.
For me it helps to play computer games after work/school which take me away from my real world problems and don't challenge me too much. Basically something that gives me a good feeling of no fear and maybe even success without doing much for it. That helped me a lot to fight this brain-STFU problem.

Good tv shows also work, because watching tv basically is no challenge but is able to transfer your thoughts from your problems to problems that aren't yours which is less stressful.

I've heard practicing zazen can help with the STFU aspect. Presumably it's something they have techniques to deal with. I know several people who do it, and they assure me it's taught them a lot about how to control their minds.

Comparing: Experts Oppose Government Key to Encoded Data
I was very interested, but pretty disappointed that Datomic is completely closed source. Maybe this is a little mean, but what could be more "simple" than being able to read, understand, and modify the database you rely on?

Neo4j, though marketed differently, is a similar approach (but the Community version is GPLv3 and Enterprise is AGPLv3). The Cypher query language is declarative in a similar way to Datomic - the biggest missing feature is transactions.
I hope not, I'd much rather see developers like Xamarin remain independent of the likes of Microsoft, Google or Apple.
Smoke some weed and ground yourself, literally ground yourself(run a wire from the ground plug of a wall outlet), while you sleep. Humans are fucking retarded, we have way too much HF radio waves and EMF in our environment now.
At former managed-hosting startup, we would deploy a pair of EMC symmetrixes into our DC cage as storage for our DB tier, with volumes mirrored over the pair. While equipment was being moved into the cage one day, someone accidentally banged the power-switch protection plate on one of the EMCs. Fortunately the power switch had to be held depressed for several seconds to turn off the equipment. Unfortunately, the protection plate itself got jammed in against power switch keeping it depressed. Hoisted by its own petard, as it were.

Good thing we deployed those EMCs in pairs. But then curiosity gets the better of a DC ops guy wondering how the plate got jammed. So he punches the plate on the 2nd EMC causing it to similarly jam and power-off. Doh.

When we told EMC about this flaw in the design, they deployed a fix to the production line - a rubber stopper under the plate next to the switch to protect the switch from the protection plate.
I disagree. There are already issues with heat and power consumption in the Surface Pro 3 especially with the higher end processors. What's the point of a powerful and power-hungry processor if it's just going to throttle hard when you really try to use it?

If you need a ton of power, you need a workstation not an ultrabook/tablet hybrid. The rumored changes should allow for better battery life, cooler operation, and probably a minimal (if any) impact on performance on tasks that suit the form factor.
>* Doesn't that pretty much cover all potential customers?*

That may make more sense in comparison with the 2014 strategy, which didn't include all potential customers and specifically avoided the high end and business markets in order to focus on the value-phone buyers in "emerging markets" so as to "connect the next billion people".

[2014 - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-02-23/microsoft-... ]

Focusing on business and flagship phone customers is a change in strategy which puts Microsoft into direct competition with Apple and Samsung.

Good luck with that, now.
Microsoft is capable of making nice hardware. Some of the phone hardware is excellent. BUT making and selling hardware profitably is a puzzle they have not solved. And making it all make sense w.r.t. their OEMs and overall strategy has been even harder.
My favourite talk from DConf 2015. It is about the tension in the compile-time realm between:

- static interfaces (C++ concepts, Rust traits, Haskell typeclasses... or whatever name they have in a particular language)

- and the more adhoc compile-time duck-typing (eg: D static if, C++ expression SFINAE). Alexandrescu is arguing for the latter being more useful.

I can only agree with him considering the sheer difficulty of making reusable generic code that squarely fits a problem domain.

Programmers interested in meta-programming and reuse would probably enjoy the talk.
I think we just need to build smarter. I've become disillusioned with the "runaway state" problem (as well as spaghetti-dependency problems) in OO languages which contributes to bugs and general nondeterministic behavior as well as making long term maintenance difficult, and at the same time I've become enamored of unit test suites and functional immutable languages like Elixir as well as static code analysis tools (I'm still coming around to Haskell-esque typing, but I generally think it's a good idea to write "potentially provably correct" code that has parts which provably have no side effects).
Well, they took out a competitor, didn't they? So not a complete flop, just a very "old-school acquisition".
The issue is 80% of investors are retail/ mom and pop investors. Not banks, funds, etc. Likewise most stock is purchased on the margin with loans leveraged against potential (and expected) growth of the stock. This is literally what happened to the US before the Great Depression. Not only are people losing their life savings, but they're immediately shackled to debt they have no means to pay off.

So now a larger number of brokers/banks are tied to toxic debt, which is in a quantum of state of both being/not being an asset (if you think it is the crash of 2008 wouldn't have happened). While I doubt we will see bank failures (The CPC will step in), it will resonant.
No, the difference is, at least from what I've seen (am not sure if the research supports this, but it would be interesting if it did not), some people (like myself) seem to be more susceptible to smoking addiction than others. I know quite a few people who have no trouble smoking intermittently, with months in between, and then quitting with hardly any effort. Maybe they just have more resolve or willpower, but I've seen them smoke more than enough to "catch" the addiction like I did, then stop, never really getting stuck into a daily habit. Yes I'm jealous :) On the other hand, I don't want to smoke just "occasionally" either, I just want to quit.
I own a Lumia 925, my wife owns a Lumia 640, and we use a Lumia 520 as our home line. I realize that Windows has a small share of the mobile phone market in the US but everybody that I've ever met that owns a Windows phone is pretty happy with their purchase -- I am. Apple phones are too expensive for my budget, and I tried helping a family member with his Android device and quickly realized I had made the right decision buying a Windows phone. I'm looking forward to see how the new OS (Windows 10) works on my devices.
This assumes that everything that worked in the past will work in the present and future, which is not really a reasonable assumption.
I was unaware of trapcall but will have to investigate.

Callcentric's whitelisting + call routing rules combined with a download of your android phonebook makes an effective whitelist filter. Anyone not in your address book is just sent to voicemail.
Similarly, if you only play Tetris after distressing events, you may become conditioned to be distressed by Tetris.
Oh wow, well then; lol I guess.
I have this same problem. I have found that if, right before bed, I find some single simple puzzle or problem to think about I can mute the other stuff and just focus on that. I feel like it helps me fall asleep faster.
One solution is to not cache queries, but cache data, as in the case with Datomic.
Introduction to Bjam: Using the Boost Build System EBook
How much are you paid for posting this? This just reads as blatant advertising.
If Nokia had gone under (or switched to Android in a last-ditch attempt to shore itself up) there would have been 0 manufacturers of Windows Phone hardware left. That would have been the end of it. I guess Microsoft looked at how much they had already invested in Phone, compared that to the bill for Nokia, and decided they weren't ready to pull the plug yet.
I know naming startups and getting domains is hard, but Delta is the 2nd largest airline in the world [1]. Naming your air travel site TripDelta seems likely to raise some significant trademark issues.

Well, to attribute that to SHARES, we should go with big endian ;)
What are you talking about? Neither the German or the French airforce operate or did operate F-16s [1] to the best of my knowledge. The article [2] makes it sound like the planes were directly acquired from General Dynamics, the manufacturer.

Rest easy, Goldman's assure us there's no bubble.
Where there is major government fraud, Goldman's are there. Goldman's assured the world that Greece's immediately doubling debt value to cheat the EU rules was fine so they've given themselves a reputation in these matters.

Where are Goldman's involved? Short it.
Has China blocked Uber and started fining, arresting or disappearing their drivers yet?

Because that's what's going to happen, unless Uber has some well-positioned backers from China
If I ever listened to horror stories like these, there wouldn't be an airline left I would fly with. This is textbook; replace United with Delta, Southwest, Air Canada, etc., at will. The only company I've used that I haven't heard exactly this type of complaint about is Widerøe, a tiny regional line in Norway with a fleet of prop planes. This is unfortunate, as I live in Pennsylvania and get motion sickness on those little aircraft. And I imagine that if I spoke Norwegian—it seemed to me that while many Norwegians speak English, they don't do much complaining in it when the native language would do—I wouldn't even have Widerøe left.
I'd used Mr. Number for a while, and even recommended it at one point. Its increasingly overreaching permissions demands, especially over contacts, lead me to drop it. I've since switched to a feature phone due to concerns with Android privacy generally, though my frustrations in not being able to screen or filter calls, on a whitelist basis, are high. Telephony generally is in desperate need of radical updating, with both control and privacy as major concerns.

I can't help but feel the quote ultimately embodies a false belief. Simplicity doesn't build you a rocket that can get to the outer solar system. Understanding and experimentation does.

Sure, this was probably built up using simple experiments and designs. But consider the Mar's landing[1]. Simplicity would be to have a single mechanism for landing the Curiosity. Not 3. With one of them being a crane drop from a hovering rocket!?

I do feel there is an argument to up front simplicity. However, as systems grow, expect that the simplicity will be harder and harder to maintain and keep such requirements as performance met. To the point that it becomes a genuine tradeoff that has your standard cost/benefit analysis.

In the end, this falls to the trap of examples. If you are allowed to remove all assumptions from real use down to only a simple problem, you can get a simple solution. Add back in the realities of the problem, and the solution can get complex again. It is a shame that, in studies, so few real programs are actually looked at.

>The funny thing is that, if I let myself sleep for a few minutes (5-15)

You're essentially taking a nap and waking up before entering deep sleep. This is the refreshing kind of nap. Conversely sleeping just a few minutes more and waking up in the middle of deep sleep would make you feel grumpy and tired. There are some polyphasic sleep techniques that basically exploit this and have sveral short naps of light sleep throughout the 24 day instead of a night's sleep.
1. Nokia was pretty much the only real manufacturer of Windows Phone. Did they really have a choice? Microsoft does not seem to be the type to give up on their bets easily, and it sometimes pays off. For instance, as I recall, that's where they started with Xbox and Bing, and both products are doing well now.

2. Even though their relative market share is low, keep in mind the market is huge and so in absolute numbers, they are selling quite a few Lumias. Millions of devices every quarter is a pretty decent number, and something that could be leveraged in various ways. Not a direct comparison, but note that until 2007 Apple ran their entire business on products that had minority market share.

3. Not very familiar with the aQuantive deal - how was it doomed to begin with?
Wow! Thanks for this. I've been wrestling with getting ES6, React, and Rails to play nicely for some time. How stable is execjs-rails?
> "You are correct in that the money used to build highways etc. does start as your tax dollars."

Taxes are not the only way that governments get money. Sales of government bonds are likely to generate a large portion of capital behind infrastructure projects.
FYI For whatever reason, the images are not loading on my machine.
It's certainly a shame when unsophisticated investors pile in after a huge run-up in prices. The good news is that if they got in one year ago they are likely still above water. If they got in after that they should have been wary of bubble prices.

Well, that answers that.

Another thought about the Lebanese Rocket Society... this story isn't just about the nascent rise and fall of a small country's space exploration program. It is also about it's diverse demographics and the strength that arises from a multi-cultural population. In this case the story is about Manougian, an Armenian, who lived in Lebanon for only a few years. The story points to the resourcefulness and ambition of the Armenians in Lebanon.
> Japan has a more or less functioning democracy

I note that the same party was in power for 55 years prior to 2009.
MS was, and is still, in a very ugly position in regards to mobiles. They sat and watched Apple move in not only on music players, but phones, and later tablets. MS's offerings were all milquetoast desktop and laptop offerings and its migration from its old Windows Mobile product to Windows Phone took forever with the early versions being pretty uncompetitive.

MS saw what Google's relationships with its OEMs was like (reskinning, not doing updates, in-fighting, threats to move to tizen/sailfish, endless compromises, bloatware, etc) and wanted nothing of that. They thought if they had a tried and true phone hardware division with a known brand that they could leapfrog into the market. Well, it didn't happen, even though the Nokia Windows phones were fairly well received, especially if you're price sensitive. They entered the market pretty late and by then both the Android and Apple store were chock-full of apps. That's on top of MS having a stodgy business image that consumers find unappealing. To be fair, MS sells millions of these things per quarter, so they're not exactly failures. They're just a distant third. (8.6 million last quarter according to windowscentral.com).

My guess is that the US market just isn't price sensitive, so a good but cheap phone was largely unappreciated. The two year contract carrier deals hide the price of the phone, so its "easy" to get the hottest iphone or android. I think WP is a lot more popular in the EU where you usually buy your phone outright. Things like the Xiaomi lineup, the Moto G/E, and Android One were very much an attack on MS's focus on the low-end, and I think greatly hurt MS's low-end sales. Without those sales this acquisition wasn't going to pay off.
Last one I noticed was the FCC's comment system.

There are lots of nice people in FP circles and nobody ever said there wasn't. But I think the author is taking the use of the word "arrogant" much too literally--its users generally don't mean arrogant, they politely mean asshole.

My sense, from spending a decent chunk of time in a couple different communities, is that they don't do enough policing of their jerks and that that makes itself most apparent to novices rather than established people. Many programming communities don't handle jerks well, for a host of reasons around social standing and conflict avoidance, but of the ones I regularly participate, I don't think a guy like Scala's I-think-I-can-use-the-adjective-"infamous" Tony Morris--though granted, he seems to wish he was Haskell's Tony Morris--would be tolerated past weeks, to say nothing of years.

I really like functional programming. But I find that notions like "shared-immutable programming" are more accepted by people who've been burned by the more socially toxic sections of the universe. The rebrand helps remove the association with the jerks, and that should speak to the impact of those jerks.

Looks like getInitialState is absorbed by the constructor as well.
There's a reason why many companies will have a CFO. The easiest way to get these done is to source them to dedicated personal. This can be as simple as getting an accountant/accounting service, a temp. Alternatively you can automate some of these, especially if they're recurring. I'd imagine that insurance and licenses have autopay features.
Right, so the users can figure out if the user is credible and you don't do it yourself, got a bit confused there.

Often with devices of small market share, the people who purchase them are the people most likely to be happy with their purchase. That said, I think the WinPhone platform is very good, but suffers by not commanding the influence over app-makers.
