Ummm what? Part of the whole point of making companies is because individuals can't risk going bankrupt to make a game, while a corporation that takes investments from people who understand that they may lose money on the deal shifts t

Your mental model of the code you're reading is probably incomplete too. Just be aware of where you're less confident and then you can use different mechanisms to build that confidence when it's the most logical thing to do (

Those numbers are total police officer deaths across all causes, not just shootings, which was what the parent was talking about.

Around 50 per year die due to shootings, according to data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (www.nleomf.org) for 2003-2014. About as many as die per year from auto crashes/getting run over. Contrast that with ar

I imagine as soon as it encounters such a situation it'll start streaming video of what's going on over a wireless network and then someone can report this. You don't need a human to be an in-person witness to record the crim

What's to stop an attacker from poisoning such a system: pretend to be a thousand different people all saying "Yep, the cert with signature 0xBADBADBAD was what I saw"? How does someone rotate certs without breaking all their

This article is not talking about _malicious_ applications running on your system, but unintentionally-security-weakening ones. Think of the bash RCE bug from a few months back: the problem was not that Bash was malicious, but a mismatch in

It's a feature that optimizes for short term profit at the expense of the long term: memory of last year served to reduce demand this year, and memory of this year will serve to reduce supply in the future. Part of me wonders if they d

Well the assumption of supply adjustments to meet demand in real time that is given for Surge Pricing is just unrealistic. A driver must make a commitment (hours or days before) to be available to drive at a given time. Of course they have

You can't do what for games? Avoid complexity? You can certainly try! Some bits of complexity will creep in. The important thing is to be aware of the cost and judge it appropriately, don't give low estimates for complexity-adding

TAO is used in place of memcached. You don't ask TAO for a whole list and place it into memcached. You ask TAO for "give me 50 items starting from position 0 in the list", and the TAO cache keeps this list in sorted order.

The viewpoint the author seems to expound reeks of second system syndrome. That is, he seems to argue that incremental evolution is broken, since the state at any given point is suboptimal given what someone building from scratch would buil

you equated "for-profit" education with "private schools". The two are not the same. Most of the category that you think of as "private schools" are non-profit, but religious or otherwise not government-sponsor

We're in a state right now where if you are doing anything that suggests you're willing to spend money on a specific set of things, you have to do it in a private browsing window or put up with retargeting for weeks. Kind of sad.
