It's a localized network effect only if they are isolated to local areas. However, most people in the U.S. (especially outside of SF) only have Uber, so the network effect grows stronger as consumers only need one app regardless of the city they are in.

I'm not sure I understand your yellow cab comparison. With Uber, no one needs an understanding of the local markets (aside from the laws, which can be done at the corporate level). Uber just shows local drivers how to make money, and they take a cut because they have a strong technology, brand, and user base.

As far as international expansion, I agree it would be much tougher. But even if they aren't successful outside of the U.S. (which I still think they will be), they will cash in billions.

As it stands to reason this would be a really good killer startup idea.

Make a non-profit startup that organizes secular communities via a website and an app. People can search for others in their area to join communities and help out or ask for help. To donate money or apply for grants to be helped. You can even have educational secular communities that teach programming and other IT skills.

Just search for people and communities nearby by zip code and all of that stuff.

Well wait a second, is picking your roommates carefully the same as the curation they are talking about here? Because it doesn't feel that way to me. It feels like they are trying to capitalize on the age-old concept of having roommates, and slathering on a thick coat of shiny lacquer in the form of a business model based on the painfully trendy idea of curation. I can't put my finger on it exactly, maybe it's just the article that's to blame, but there's something here that feels more akin to high school cliquishness than screening potential roommates, and that's what I'm objecting to.
I solute the OP for taking on something this monumental. I randomly decided to make an Angular JS clone from scratch and it ate up about 6 months of my life. I don't think it holds a candle to remaking megaman in JS though. Hats off!
Has rousey ever used a judo throw in a match? The #1 time judo throws are used is when another person is trying to judo throw you(that is, in a judo competition)
The work with these molecules is early enough, that to my knowledge, there are no studies of this type that are published. And, in fact one could pose the same question for linear mRNA and ncRNA in exosomes (or ESVs). Most of the studies are on miRNA in ESVs, however we have done considerably work internally on characterizing long- mRNA and ncRNA in exosomes. These vesicles are fascinating!
I like the idea of such a guide, but the resources currently there can be picked up by someone in less than a day of using postgres. It is a good start however as it covers the basics well except for installation/setup. I think that section needs to include setting up postgres database data in a different partition than the one where the DB itself is installed as well as setting up clusters.

Also it lacks certain information that is really helpful particularly when dealing with Postgres. An example is this: http://blog.jonanin.com/2013/11/20/postgresql-char-varchar/

The harder things that I've had trouble with are not covered. They include escaping JSON correctly when dumping the database to CSV, stored procedures, setting up a cluster, automated backups, fallover DBs and recovering from a crash with minimal downtime.
This reminds me of an older "dirty trick" where a buffer was sacrificed, instead of added, at the end of the project in order to ship.

I've done Japanese jiu-jitsu for 10 years. We train in free fighting as well as ground fighting. I'm not great by any means. I'm decent and a new person isn't going to beat me. I have sparred with low level pro fighters including one guy who fought in the now defunct IFL and one guy who made it to the semi finals of the Ultimate fighter one season and another contestant on that show. I've also sparred with a number of amateur fighters. All of them could defeat me in ground fighting and especially in sparring. They were and are way better than me.

I've also sparred with amateur MMA women and none of them could even come close to winning against me. They simply don't have the strength. I could muscle out of any move they do. They don't have the punching power of a man and their striking ability does not instill fear.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Ronda Rousey could beat me in a fight. She is strong for a woman and she is in great shape. Fitness is a skill in a fight. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that she could not even defeat a low level pro male fighter. She would have not a single advantage and all of the disadvantages.

Such is my opinion based on anecdotal experience.
Although I understand your argument, I don’t think” 1) death taxes “ or 2) “Keeping necessities in life equal access” actually help maintain societal equality

re: death taxes, Tyler Cowen writes in the WSJ, “ It isn't clear that the estate tax raises much, if any, revenue. The very rich engage in tax-avoidance strategies. The apparent revenue raised is often offset by a lower intake from income and capital gains taxes. Furthermore, it has been estimated that the costs of implementing tax-avoidance strategies are roughly equal to the (gross) revenue raise.” But, even if this premise is not true (that there’d a positive net difference in the revenue raised), that’s assuming that the rich will maintain the same level of spending before they die, which may not be the case if they will get taxed on it when they die. In other words, the rich would have a greater incentive to spend it while they are alive, which merely increases consumption inequality.

re: Keeping necessities in life equal access. I agree on that point. But, I think it’s very difficult to achieve because of the complex factors that differentiate people in society. For example, in a given National Blue Ribbon School, there’s mix of people from different socioeconomic backgrounds that theoretically have equal access to educational resources the school provides. But, in practice, the educational resources that the school does not provide (at-home support, extended social networks, etc.) will be heavily correlated with a higher socioeconomic background.

Yes, she has. Lots of times.
I played bassoon for years and would love to play bassoon now that I am not in school. The trouble is that bassoons are extremely expensive. Even a terrible plastic bassoon costs thousands of dollars, and a "good" bassoon is $20k-40k last I checked, though you can get lucky on a used wooden one, which still won't come cheaply. Another less important issue I think is the difficulty in finding a good reed source: Mass-produced single reeds (clarinet, etc.) play very well, but mass-produced double reeds are practically unplayable (a double reed is the mouthpiece so any inadequacies are glaring).

Demand for bassoonists shouldn't diminish anytime soon, the sound is a crucial part of a symphony orchestra.
But how many customers are signed into multiple apps? I don't think very many. And even if competition forces prices to go incredibly low, only the biggest players will survive. Uber's scale will allow it to weather low prices, especially since they just rake in transactional fees without requiring significant investment.

Police officer doesn't even crack the top 10 most dangerous professions, and a large number of those police deaths are due to traffic accidents.

I'll give police officers some slack as soon as we start allowing 7-11 clerks or cab drivers (both an order of magnitude more dangerous than police work) to murder their customers with impunity.
I don't think the problem is the government funding per se but the government operation, and the tying of attendance rights to location of residence. You could have a much better system while keeping government funding: "money follows the student". That is, you can send your kid to any school meeting the government's criteria, and that gets your subsidy.

Why won't we switch to that? Well, most homes owe a significant portion of their value to "being in a good school district" and most such homeowners have made a leveraged bet of most of their net worth in that home. Such reform would mean destroying that.

It would also mean schools trying to apply the same resegregation filters most parents want, at which point governments would have to adapt their criteria to stop that, and the arms races continues.

That's been my experience too, not just of Duff's device but in general with trying to unroll loops. There may have been a point where it was practical (although early in my career I didn't do the profile-first-optimise-later thing very well, I confess). But if you think you can manually unroll a loop in a way that beats the branch predictor and a good compiler on most modern hardware, you're probably fooling yourself.
Thanks for sharing your approach. In the end, I decided the API results didn't need to be persisted in storage -- they get stored in a local variable and jettisoned with Javascript's garbage collection. My primary concern was: to-what scope did the data belong? (Check my other comments to see my dissatisfaction with Chrome's dev-doc's language on this topic.) I decided that the user history did not need to be precisely-known, so - my strategy here was to hash the url, cut the hash to a much shorter string (to increase likelihood of collisions), and then pad the shortened-hash with a random number of characters on either side, and concatenate that string to a large blob of text. The extension would then be able to perform an indexOf search on that blob to be reasonably sure that the user had been to that URL. This uses localStorage. (This keeps the extension from repeatedly querying commonly-visited URLs but also does not prove you were at any given URL since collisions are expected to happen.)

Our goal is to add additional markers to current candidates using our enrichment tech. It helps to remember that up until the ILMN/Solexa machine came online around 2005-6, we could not reliably detect (statistically) MAFs in heterogenous tumor samples below about 20% on the 454 platform (depending on how much cash you threw at the sample). Point is, our enrichment platform allows a deep dive into signals that have yet to be identified as reliable and low variance biomarkers.

Nobody is forcing them to be cops. Accept the danger or find another job.
It sounds like you wanted to do something like this:

std::vector<char*> vec1(...);
std::vector<char const*> vec2(...);
std::copy(vec1.begin(), vec1.end(), vec2.begin()); // works (1)
std::copy(vec2.begin(), vec2.end(), vec1.begin()); // fails (2)

If this compiled, the second example would invoke undefined behavior and crash if you attempted to write to an element that pointed to read-only memory (e.g., a string literal).

Container element types are almost never declared const unless their values are truly immutable (in this case the pointer is mutable, but the underlying memory is not, which is kind of strange).
Interesting. Does it not count as an appearance even though its box is there, with the item inside?

They have different problems - diverting investments into liquid cash to pay off tax bills. This is also bad, since rather than expanding a productive business cash is diverted to creating unnecessary liquidity.

There is also no "estate planning" for various other incidents of the same issue, e.g. employees cashing out stock options.
I tried to look it up. The Post has police shootings at around 400 people. Half were white and half were minority. 2/3 of the minority were black. So, I think around 133.

There is an elementary number theory textbook by the famed number theorist and Ramanujan scholar Dr. George Andrews called Number Thoery, http://www.amazon.com/Number-Theory-Dover-Books-Mathematics/...

It contains proofs of very many results from elementary number theory, like Fermat's Little Theorem here. The reason this book is different from any other is because the proofs are all combinatorial, like counting beaded necklaces or otherwise. It is also a Dover book, meaning it costs very little. It is also one of the books I used as reference to create the elementary number theory course that I sometimes teach.

Given the essentially complete lack of context I don't see how this is even remotely answerable... so "maybe".
The guy who was killed was a Marine who served in Iraq. He probably figured it couldn't be any more dangerous. Police could also take a more hands off approach. Unfortunately, crime rates tend to increase:

2. How far/remote is it from school? same city/town? someplace else?

3. Are you sure your going to go back?

4. Will you getting credit for this, and if so how will it
impact your graduation date?

5. How are you paying for school now?
I honestly couldn't say. Probably. I mean, the guy is a marketeer more than anything else, so it's worth taking his every word with a grain of salt... nevertheless, I think that when he first said it, it would have been hard to get women in the UFC that people would watch. There weren't any stars in the making. Now, there's a 50/50 shot as to what the gender of the best fight will be in any given UFC event. The Waterson/Magana fight was (in my opinion) the fight of the night in the TUF 21 finale.

Whether his change of opinion is sincere or profit motivated isn't any of my concern, but outside of Gina Carano, Cyborg and maybe three other ladies, the state of women's MMA at the time was pretty horrible, but just few years later and it's pretty great.

The time window on that particular number isn't actually a full year, but the year up till may 30 when the article was published. Considering that crime tends to go up in the summer months instead of staying flat over the year you're probably better off looking at last year's numbers, instead.

Why would a street fight be a wonderful thing to happen? Also, I find it highly unlikely that floyd would lose in a streetfight, but I have no basis other than my gut for that one.

I would argue that the difference in lifestyle and wellbeing between the poorer citizens of North Korea vs South Korea / East Germany vs West Germany during their respective histories should at least raise the question of whether reducing inequality by taking more money from the rich, might have adverse consequences for both rich and poor citizens..?

Agreed. There is a time and a place for everything. If table markup is used nowhere else in a DOM, it is completely justified for easily vertically centering div content (across platforms) no matter what the container properties are.
It's worth noting that there are definitely exceptions where loop unrolling is a good practice for optimization. When writing code that will run on obscure old architectures, and even some common ones, the CPU doesn't have things like branch prediction and caches, and your compiler is likely quite rudimentary.

As always, profiling is key.
