There is no entity that would pay anywhere near that amount of money for this. This is useless to black hats, and of course no legitimate service could pay to exploit this flaw. The last remotely plausible actor is like, various espionage agencies but good luck with that one.
I can imagine this simplifying the development of B2B SaaS tools that are primarily about presenting and interacting with data. The bit about broadcasting to a large number of clients is harder to see the value of in a Rails application when so many approaches work simply enough already.
As for replacing rich frontend rendering libraries in more complex apps - it seems dicey. Part of the virtue of React is that it simplifies the visual presentation of the frontend based on a constellation of data. Things like highlighted elements, hover states, and dragging items. It seems difficult to enable that level of polish while the backend is making dom-level changes based on the explicit data that you have to deliberately send over the network.
My first job out of college was working on Fulfillment by Amazon, which was part of sellers central. The place was a huge mess technically, with like three different authoritative databases, and services constantly trying to second guess each other. Everything was in Java and there was no clear central direction. I think this is probably the main drawback to Bezos' cloud of services mandate.
When I spoke to Allred about this, he indicated that he and pg did not have a particularly close relationship. If this is true, it seems likely that pg's vocal patronage is mostly based on the theory, not practice, of Lambda.
I did have to do some amount of flickr scraping from the dataset. The browser also aligns and crops the faces according the way nvidia did as well. I thought it would be an interesting commentary to look at the faces in the same way that the machine did.
This is not the case. It's hard to overstate the magnitude of the increase in risk you take by pursuing a VC-backablr business strategy vs a bootstrappable one. There are many, many totally good business ideas that will "only" make you tens of millions of dollars and that can be executed relatively casually.
I read about half the paper but couldn't find an answer to my first objection (perhaps I missed it), but if this was the case, wouldn't we observe sudden changes in cognition in those who were subject to the strong magnetic fields of an MRI?
It's not disingenuous; I think an earlier draft had it. This came down from 4000 words. I'll try to ask my editor to add this as a correction but things are pretty hectic. It's a fairly minor omission in my opinion, but I understand disagreeing.
Bootcamps probably need a longer and more rigorous trial period - one thing that students were really pissed about was that they didn't find out that Lambda was bad until after the month-long forgiveness period ended.
that's a fair enough point, and I suppose I could have built the point more clearly in the article that I feel that the actual transgression is a misleading statement made to a student.
The claim made to the student is not that they have some long minded financial alignment with the student cohort in aggregate - it's that specifically, the school does not make any money off the student (individually) until the student has an outcome.
I disagree that this is an accurate assessment of my claims. When you claim that you "never have" done something after you've already done it, you're making a statement about both the present and the past. Your point about averages or something is also difficult for me to parse.
This is a really wonderful piece, written with a clear voice, style, and appreciation for history. Pieces like this make me glad to read HN, if only for a straightforward way of finding pieces like it somewhat regularly.
Presumably the implementation is platform dependent and they wish to start with where they believe the most relevant developer mindshare is. I'd guess it's still somewhat tricky for them to playback different replays across platforms.
This is one of those classic, massively overconfident HN comments. Nothing has proven worse for American cities than massive free public infrastructure devoted to private automobile transportation, and our only hope to make our cities more livable, affordable, and environmentally safer is to massively switch to public transit.
The tax on space, time, and energy required to move a bunch of people around in individual little containers is far too high.
Author here: there are protections in place for demolishing rent controlled units without replacing them. Otherwise, you could easily induce tenants to leave (or Ellis them) and then just knock down their units without replacement.
