I don't have the sources for this atm, but I heard last night that SoftBank doesn't actually have the $9.5B it needs in funding to secure its controlling stake in WeWork. Which means the guy hasn't gotten his $1.7B yet.

So Softbank needs funding to buy out the controlling stake in WeWork. They're reaching out to Japan's largest bank, Mitsubishi UFJ, for that $9.5B. As of last night, MUFJ refused to lend money to Softbank if they intend on using it as a rescue package for WeWork.

Now Softbank is in a conundrum. This morning, I read that they're trying to figure out a way to slash Neuman's golden parachute from that $1.7B figure.

But you would still require the skill to judge who is and is not a legitimate authority. This sounds more difficult and easily gamed than not bothering with a middle man and judging the facts yourself. Even if there is some perfect way of distinguishing true authorities from frauds, nobody is so authoritative as to never make a mistake, or so clueless as to not occasionally stumble into a correct answer.

That's because the media hype is completely different from the industry hype. This article is a form of media hype.

The pragmatic, already realized effects of machine learning are mostly in improving existing systems, especially classification systems, and have increased metrics by big percentages at big data companies, and more applications are being found every day. That is why real demand and interest is so high for ML.

These generative, speculative models are interesting experiments by researchers but inconsistent and far overstudied by the media, because "AI invents new physics" is more understandable and sexier than "AI improves lead generation by 6.8%"
I agree that there has been some impressive progress on NLP lately; am curious what you think the corresponding improvements in white collar jobs have been, though? Genuinely asking! Or do you think they are mostly yet to come?
I imagine that model would work really well for a lot of data usage too: Downloading updates for applications and games could be scheduled for off-peak times, and users might even be incentivized to pre-cache streaming content they want to watch during primetime hours if they can save by doing so.

No,not at all. I am saying the person who does all this chatting is projecting -- they are the one who actually slacks on the job but doesn't see it as such. I see this same dynamic at work all the time (and I am not a programmer): People who spend gobs of time on a daily basis discussing all kinds of personal stuff with other employees. They are in "management" type positions, so I think they view it as "part of their job"/"team building" etc. I don't think it is. And these folks who spend so much of their day shooting the breeze are the exact same people who get after others (lower ranking than themselves) for talking to coworkers "instead of doing their job" -- even if they actually are discussing work and not just shooting the breeze.
Is this a pun on Haskell's strong static types? :)
One response I'm surprised didn't get more votes at stackoverflow is thinking on paper. Not only does it make the fact that you're thinking visible and socially acceptable; it's a big help in focusing your thoughts. I use this all of the time for brainstorming, planning, or "rubber ducky debugging", and I find that I make a lot more progress on paper than trying to just do it in my head.

The permanent record is a secondary bonus, but sometimes I find writing in a permanent place like my bound notebook makes me hold back and do the thinking in my head again so that I can write perfectly, instead of just brain dumping as I think. When I get blocked like this, I switch to looseleaf, which I can toss if it turns out to be scribbles. More often I end up saving that too, though, in folders.

I'm unable to edit the above remark, so I'll have to leave a new comment.

After re-reading the original post, I am obliged to point out that PG does not use the phrase "anti-immigrant" as I claimed, he uses the phrase "anti-immigration people." This was my mistake, and I apologize for the error. Calling someone "anti-immigrant" (directed at a person) is more serious than calling them "anti-immigration" (directed at a policy).

This doesn't change the core of my argument - I still feel the label "anti-immigration people" is an unfair one and harms the level of discourse. But I do want to be clear about this again - PG did not use the phrase "anti-immigrant".
You're right, the healthcare issue bites citizens much more than work visa holders (who are already screwed).

It's still broken (like so many other things in the US) and therefore one more deterrent to even considering going the work visa -> green card -> citizenship route.
Their SDK's doesn't sound like human-written SDKs, I guess these might have been auto-generated.

You seem to be under the mistaken assumption that this sort of thing will a) inform you you have lost your email account, and b) will only occur after you've noticed.

Give me your email account. I can nearly guarantee you I can have 5 sites with new passwords inside 5 minutes. And that's by hand - anyone serious about this could write a couple scripts to grab dozens of the major sites in seconds.
I think your hunch is correct: Create a new e-mail and just sign up again. They probably won't catch it.
I'm hoping to use PostgreSQL (because I'm using Heroku;) ), but I read up on how MS Sql Server implements spatial indexes. Basically, it recursively divides the coordinate system into quadrants. Then, when looking for a range of coordinates, it can figure out which quadrants are covered by that range and efficiently query them using b-trees. Very cool. I wonder if PostgreSQL spatial support works similarly...
"Try to solve real problems" is, imo, almost a cop out. It's too vague to be a useful answer to to the question. As for people 'solving real problems'... well... I've known plenty of people who think they're doing just that. It's often identified as a problem they have themselves, or close friends. They spend time working on it (often too long) without knowing there's already 50 solutions out there.

Which leads to 'research your audience before building'. Well... how do you do that? You need to make sure the people you're asking A) actually have a clue and B) actually give a damn about having a clue.

My other answer, which may be more helpful (but probably not) is

1. I find things that have been problematic for me from a tech standpoint, or
2. I look for interesting tech I'd like to learn more about, and look at industries friends/relatives are in.

With #1, for example, I learned SOLR a few years ago. It's not that hard to set up, but not everyone can due to hosting restrictions. I'd played with the idea of dedicated SOLR hosting, but dilly dallied too long - there's multiple players there now. That's in some ways good - it was not a crazy idea, if they're doing it too.

With #2, for example, I'd like to learn more about Twilio. I'm looking for options to test out Twilio in the context of some current customers by learning more about their business operations. It seems there's a couple places where some custom Twilio integration makes sense, and we'll look to do something early next year. Based on what's done for them, and how that works, there might be a spin-off 'web business' from that.

I hope that helps a bit.

Saving the data for later play is one of the rights you manage with DRM - if you're not supposed to be able to play it later and the client allows you to, it's ignoring the granted rights. Sharing the data with friends is another "right" in DRM. What you're describing is authentication - something that you can clearly do within HTML5 as is.

Lines of code, files touched, bugs fixed, hours worked. Basically any quantifiable metric. There's a couple of reasons why it doesn't work.

Metrics either try to encapsulate too much or too little scope. For example; is having more lines of code per week a good thing, well only if the lines of code are meaningful, how do you measure that? And that would encourage verbosity over simplicity.

Another issue is that it's almost impossible to stop engineers pleasing the metrics, rather than solving the problem. If their job or bonus depends on a metric, then that metric becomes a higher priority than the actual job.

It's also incredibly hard to quantify contributions to an evolving project. Writing software might be compared to building a house from a design, where someone is paid for precisely how many bricks they lay. But software development has transitioned away from the waterfall design, to a more iterative approach. This means huge amounts of effort put into the product, might be designed out through iteration and changing business requirements. So if you were to pay people based on the end product (like brick layers), some people may receive nothing.

Basically, there's no way to fairly attribute the success of the system to individual programmers. Good software is written by teams and good teams are comprised of different people with different skill sets.
Apple has a gross revenue of $1.9 million per employee. Paying 150k is generally only a small fraction of the value they create and Apple could afford to pay more, and at the same time a better offer than anywhere else for many

I wonder why it is not documented, but at this point they tend to support the current release and previous two releases.
The latter point releases of Snow Leopard represented a point in OS X history when there was great stability in user expectations of the Mac operating system. It wasn't perfect, but most things worked perfectly. Performance was excellent. System stability was high, too.

The problem with Lion is that it started dicking around with previously stable user expectations -- a perfect example being the skeu Address Book that had inferior usability.

Mountain Lion improved things a bit.

Mavericks improved things further, and represents another high point in OS X history.

Yosemite once again dicks around with previously stable user expectations -- a perfect example being the new aesthetic which looks crisp in retina but looks fussy and unfinished in low resolution. Spotlight is no longer a drop down menu for no reason. Time Machine no longer spins. The green buttons now do different things. It's even more difficult to enable TRIM on third party SSDs.
If there is some of those, it's still at a dramatically lower rate than from any other boards that I've been looking at.

This is refreshing and always good for the mind, scientific or not that it might be.
By what measure is Apple losing reputation? Their sales are at an all time high in a market that is losing ground to tablets. This is the second post on HN today about how terrible OS X is, and I just don't see it. And I hardly consider the yearly updates major OS changes. Yosemite was pretty big, but that was the first big one in a few years it seems.
> Guess you havn't had a hanging Safari or Chrome tab take down the entire OS.

According to the contents of my ~/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter logs my last Safari crash was August 3rd 2014 which IIRC would have been a 10.10 DP release. I don't doubt you are having this problem but it's hard for me to relate considering my freshest CrashReporter log for any app is VLC from November 3rd 2014. In my experience using 10.10 on 3 different Macs (Mac Pro 4,1, MacMini late 2012, rMBP early 2013) the worst issue I've encountered is somehow when using multiple displays and setting SilverLight video to fullscreen my Dock occasionally gets set to auto-hide. Pretty sure that's some ugly hack being done by the SilverLight plugin since it has never happened with Flash or HTML5 full screen video.

My gut feeling is these different experiences might be due to migrating data between OSX releases. I had migrated/upgraded from 10.4 to 10.8 and finally did a fresh install / setup for Mavericks which was then upgraded/migrated to 10.10 DPs. Looking at an older backup from November I see some files ~/Library/Application Support/ renamed as .incompatible. so I wonder if perhaps the 10.10 DPs were doing something unique to dump old app data? It just seems odd to me that some of us are having little to no issues while others are reporting these major issues. It could of course also be machine specific (driver) causes but at least for the last 2-3 generations of machines there isn't really enough variation in hardware to justify that theory.

I'm completely the same way after getting burned early on in my career. I once did 5 interviews and several back-to-back code challenges for one company who in the end said, "Meh, we don't think your javascript skills are strong enough." I got this in a what amounted to a form email.

You want code challenges? Check out my GitHub account and pull some of my repos and check my code. THEN call me if you still want to interview me. I'm at a point now where I've amassed enough code samples (apps, games, plugins, etc) that you should be able to determine if my coding skills are up to what you're looking for.

> Counter-question: Does your operating system have all its files directly placed in "/"? Why not?

That's not a counter question. A file system is an abstraction over the physical layout of your hard drives. An accounting system is an abstraction above your accounts.

In the same way, you don't need one hard drive per folder, you don't need a separate bank account per bookkeeping account.

My take away from the closure of Simple and some commenters laments is that personnal accounting still suck.

>Most of this can be found on YouTube or his Wikipedia page.

Not a Peterson acolyte, a Jungian, or even right wing for that matter, but I'm a political philosophy junkie so I have some familiarity with Peterson's claims, mostly from watching debates and listening to arguments. And I will say this, your random out of context quoting, and hiding behind "check his Wikipedia page and YouTube yourself" is the same sophistry you're accusing him of. To give just one example, the claims around Western Civilization you bring up imply neo fascism, while they are in defense of Enlightenment ideals. Forget Peterson, there has been a debate between idealists and materialists about the value of Enlightenment ideals since the horrors of WWII (Frankfurt School being prominent critics), and a defense in the 90s by Idealists and classical liberals (The End of History) and an attacks by Postmodernists since the 70s (Foucault et. al).

Today there still is that debate, because the Postmodernist epistemology dominates and both other dominant alternatives, let's call them free market Western liberals and Marxists, don't agree. For you to summarize the debate Peterson weighs in on as a Western superiority is straight up manipulation on your part. You hide behind the manipulation by telling readers to go to his Wikipedia page and YouTube videos as if you've just cited something.
> Property taxes under Prop 13 are actually a pretty good way to fund local government.

No, it's not.

Which is why California local government relies on special districts funded by Mello-Roos charges (essentially property taxes
that are flat per unit rather than value based, and are outside of the Prop 13 limits) and large transfers of state revenue for funding ever since Prop 13 restricted the top nominal property tax rate in California to much lower than effective property tax rates in the US as a whole rolled back valuations on existing property so that people weren't then paying full rate, and restricted the rate of increase of assessed value.

> The revenue is very stable and dependable

And very low, forcing reliance on taxes that are less stable and reliable than property taxes would be without the Prop 13 assessment increase limit, which is a net loss of stability.

Stability might be a decent argument for something like the assessment increase limit (if you ignore the distributional inequities) without the ultralow nominal rate limit, but to avoid reliance on other means you'd have to raise the nominal rate to target the desired effective rate given age and value distribution observed.
Been 30 years since college physics but I believe the total heat+electricity output of the fuel cell will then again be needed to separate the aluminium waste in order to recycle the aluminium?
