Wall Street Journal "The High-Speed Trading Behind Your Amazon Purchase" March 26, 2017 [^]Quote: The vendor of the marshmallows I wanted told me his high price was an attempt to bait competitors into raising their own asking prices for the item. This works because sellers of commodity items on Amazon are constantly monitoring and updating their prices, sometimes hundreds of thousands of times a day across thousands of items, says Mr. Kaziukėnas. Most use “rules-based” pricing systems, which simply seek to match competitors’ prices or beat them by some small fraction. If those systems get into bidding wars, items offered by only a few sellers can suffer sudden price collapses—“flash crashes.”

«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

Using the plant like scaffolding, scientists built a mini version of a working heart, which may one day aid in tissue regeneration. Sorry, we can't give you that heart transplant, we made it into dip
Not the usual Sci/Tech news, but just too  to ignore, imo.

Microsoft is one of the most successful and influential companies in the world, but did you know that Bill Gates and Paul Allen launched an earlier venture as high school students in Seattle? It was called Traf-O-Data, a startup in the 1970s that developed a computer system to count traffic. So, what have you been up to since?

Hey! They were big numbers, so I haven't finished counting, yet!
Why focus on lazy buggers, who couldn't take the pace, and jumped ship?

Tea drinking reduces the risk of cognitive impairment in older persons by 50 per cent and as much as 86 per cent for those who are genetically at risk of Alzheimer's, new research suggests. Because there is good news for non-coffee drinkers too

Unfortunately in my case I may be too far gone to be saved - I keep making cups of tea and then forgetting to drink them, only to find them on the kitchen counter several hours later cold.

Wow, recently Coffee, Tea and Pints have all been declared beneficial. At this rate, I fully expect to hear of the health benefits of smoking and my entire life style will be justified.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The Angular development team is announcing a major release to its mobile and desktop development framework. Because having a version 3 has never worked for others
|
|
|
|
|
Something entirely wrong here... Angular team stated they use semantic versioning... So changing the major version manes breaking changes...
So either:
1. Angular do not know what semantic versioning is and they use it because it is so fancy...
2. There are actual breaking changes (and will be in 5 and 6), but they not even know what they are...
3. They only create a platform to be able to deny support to 1 and 2 (and 4 and 5) in a faster way...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

So I'm officially out at this point. I'm not a fan of the way Angular2 doesn't provide vanilla JS support, or how it presupposes a tool-chain, and the confusion from the framework developers is just going to make everything worse moving forward.
I'm looking at React, but have the same issue with the tool-chain.
So I guess I stay with NG1 (NG Classic?)

All that remains for C++17 now is some ISO red tape and minor touch-up to get it officially published, which is expected to be just mechanical. Travel to Hawaii for a "standards meeting". Life is hard.
