During a few periods, Ebay was handing out 10% off coupons that could be stacked with the cashback program for incredible deals. I bought so much stuff that I maxed out my account the first year ($2500).
Great post. Reminds me of Benjamin Franklin's quote -

Never confuse motion with action.
I wouldn't say they're non-existent because every so often you'll find some user on here bragging about how he uses NoScript. Personally though, I don't think that users who intentionally cripple their browsers matter.
Try Facebook in Firefox using the Web Developer Toolbar extension to disable Javascript. You'll see that major features just silently fail to operate correctly. I think that NoScript users and Javascript-free browsers are basically non-existant. That doesn't mean you shouldn't design for the before-Javascript-is-downloaded code path, but I wouldn't really worry too much.
I have upvoted you for a very insightful and resourcful reply. The term "business" is big, kind of like the term "engineering" is big. Would you also say that studying engineering is harmful to a startup?

It is one thing to say that an MBA won't help you much with your start-up, but it is another to say it is detrimental. Other than the prejudice of investors, I just don't understand why education of any kind is harmful as long as it isn't filling your head with lies.

So suffice it to say that I disagree with my hero, pg, about the value of an MBA. I can tell you that I personally have gained greatly from the experience, and that I'm better at all facets of business (even startups) because of it.

The tools for updating security fixes should be applicable for the applications just as easily as the libraries. The applications would have to be rebuilt which should be automated. If the library changes anything that causes the build to fail, much better to find that out at that time than to have the failure occur when it dynamically links on end user machines.

There would be inevitable bandwidth costs in updating like this, but that is the trade-off that is Explicitly made by choosing to go with static.
Fans of Black Mirror desperate for more would be better served watching Dead Set, a gory satire of reality television, and perhaps Nathan Barley, the series that "The Waldo Moment" was originally written for, before they head for Charlie Brooker's column in The Guardian. I found the content of the column too mired in British partisan politics for me to enjoy.
I can't seem to remember if sarcasm was invented in the US sometime around 2008 or not.
>Tipping is expected no matter what in the US. There is no incentive to do better here either.

It is expected, yes, but as a European with vast experience in customer service on both sides of the pond, even with expected tips the level of service in US restaurants/bars/etc. is far, far higher than what I'm accustomed to in Europe.

Now it can sometimes be overbearing but overall the experience is generally more welcoming, more friendly and more personal. When I'm eating in an up-scale place in Europe, the staff are generally very professional and quite quiet. Lower down the scale the staff are just "meh".

In the US, even if you go into a chain restaurant at rush hour I've found the staff to be totally engaging, eager to have a chat, find out what you like, recommend you things and then check up on you to see if everything is alright.

That's not to say that it's always great service in US and always mediocre in Europe, but there's definitely an overall different feel to the level of service offered regardless of a tip being expected.
It's NSFW and this website is very widely read at work.
Three years back I asked myself the same question and held out on learning Kubernetes. Now I feel like I have so much to catch up. The whole ecosystem around Kubernetes is thriving. Most job ads have some mention of Kubernetes or Microservices knowledge.
I wonder if gluing strain gauges to the landing gear struts would be accurate enough once calibrated.

There has been at least one crash due to mis-estimating the weight of the passengers + luggage + cargo. A strain gauge on the struts, even if inaccurate, could provide a backup sanity check for the weights.
Ok, per second it makes more sense. I couldn't find hard stats either, but one semi-dubious-looking traffic tracker said github.com sees 10 million req/day. It looked like that was for just the front page; how do we even define what a request is? For more reliable sources such as Alexa you have to pay to get these numbers.
If you're making a purely static site, you could save yourself ~40 minutes of that by using http://neocities.org instead of github. You don't have to bother installing git, creating files locally, intializing a repo, committing changes, signing up for github, or pushing code if you don't want to. Of course, using version control is a good practice, but neocities will host your static pages, scripts, stylesheets, and other assets for free, and there's an in-browser code editor. You still have to register your domain name and change your DNS record to point to neocities, but if your goal is to get a page up and running as fast as possible, that's the way to do it.

Also, don't github pages need to be deployed to the gh-pages branch?
The possibility that excites me the most is the effect of MDMA on sociopathic individuals. Maybe it won't lead us to a "cure" for sociopathy, but it can at least tell us more about the brain and how it gets wired up.
It's not just one or two companies. At minimum: all retail, all airlines, all hotels, all cruise ship companies are at risk.
On a similar note can anyone provide insight on what's possible when working from home with kids aged newborn to preschool? As someone who would like to work from home and start a family in the near future it looks like I may need to choose one or the other (stay at home parent or remote worker).

Ideally if I could do both, I could me more involved in my child's life and not sacrifice income. Maybe a part time remote job is doable?
You can if you use the neighbor's guest connection.
I was thinking the same thing. What other big company CEO's would even think of investigating why their Skype was more jittery in some hotels, let alone actually know how to do it.
"Those North Koreans who have never crossed the border have no way to make sense of their tribulations"

Just today someone on some Russian blog wrote about typical North Korean perceptions of life abroad... It was along the lines of "Yes, we know they are bullshitting it. It's all propaganda. We're told Americans are all hungry and unemployed, but we know anyway! Life is good there, you can get plenty of rice for your ration stamps! No millet, no barley, everyone can get rice if they want. Not only in the capital, anywhere in the country. And the rations are big!"
Somewhat off-topic, but if this worries you get a secured card from your favorite bank or credit union. Typically you deposit $500 into a special savings account, they freeze it, and they give you a card with a $500 credit limit in return. It reports like a normal credit card. After 6 months to a year of responsible use of the card (i.e. buy a stick of gum every 3 months, pay after you receive the statement) they will graduate it into a standard credit card and unfreeze your linked savings account.

You can build credit history fairly fast this way. (Starting today with no history, you can have FICO 800 in about two years without paying a penny in interest, if that really matters to you.)

Everything in finance is negotiable, but you've generally got to work for it. You can convince a bank officer to override the computer and grant you credit -- this is a matter of routine. It isn't as easy as filling in a web form at 3 AM in the morning and having a decision in 15 seconds, but for minor credit lines it shouldn't take much more than a branch visit if you have history with the bank. (I know we're all wonderful snowflakes, but a bank with hundreds of thousands of customers may have run into someone who dislikes debt before.)
I didn't downvote you, but I suspect that you were downvoted because regardless of whether or not you intended to be disrespectful to the quote, people feel that it's disrespectful anyway.

I would be hard-pressed to disagree with them - making any allusions to the WWII holocaust when we're talking about stylistic preferences for a search page is in pretty bad taste from where I'm sitting.
The investment is only good if the actuarial tables prove to be correct. For a counter example see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment

In 1965, aged 90 years and with no heirs, Calment signed a deal to sell her former apartment to lawyer André-François Raffray, on a contingency contract. Raffray, then aged 47 years, agreed to pay her a monthly sum of 2,500 francs until she died, an agreement sometimes called a "reverse mortgage". Raffray ended up paying Calment the equivalent of more than $180,000, which was more than double the apartment's value. After Raffray's death from cancer at the age of 77, in 1995, his widow continued the payments until Calment's death.
The allied shooting down of Japan's commander in chief, Isoroku Yamamoto, was based on breaking the Japanese naval codes and attests to your point of view.

From his wikipedia article: He died during an inspection tour of forward positions in the Solomon Islands when his aircraft (a Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" bomber) was shot down during an ambush by American P-38 Lightning fighter planes. His death was a major blow to Japanese military morale during World War II.

I also work for a hedge fund, so I'll throw out an answer. It's a 3 person shop focused on algorithm trading, the founder and two employees (including me) managing the money of the founder.

I'd say a good 50-75% of the work is tricky quantitative programming. Read: prediction, analysis, concurrency, micro optimizations (today I shaved 10-20 seconds of a 15 minute program run time). Probably 10-15% of it fits what you would describe as "far out, complex coding". There is of course grunt work; tax calculations, making our FIX talk to their FIX, etc. There is a lot of frustration; I've had a number of ideas I liked, all of which failed horribly.

I'd say it's roughly equivalent to being an employee at a startup, except that there are only 3 employees, all of whom are within shouting distance.
What do offset and limit have to do with presentation?
If you're interested in startups, you've got to know this stuff. The foundation of just about all business is the capital markets - without them, the big dollar buyouts and IPOs don't happen. Understanding financial markets is understanding the foundation of society, and understanding the history of financial markets is a better roadmap of 'how did we get here' than, say, studying the personalities of kings and presidents. Sitting in front of your computer, literally everything you touch and look at is the product of the organisation of finance through capital markets. Without it, factories don't get built, shipping doesn't happen, nothing would get done.

Once you understand financial markets, you realise your startup is actually two products : one is the product that people buy, the other is the company as a product, which means the company as an investment opportunity. If you understand what capital markets want from companies, you can design that into your company to make it more saleable.

Also, any decent undergrad course worth attending should at least cover finance and economics, even if at 101 level. I don't believe any education in the modern world is complete until the person has an in-depth understanding of the importance of financial markets in our daily lives, even if you disagree with it.
If this is true, the death toll of Covid-19 is going to be a lot worse than currently indicated, is that right?

The complications of ventilators and whatever lasting damage is caused by the disease itself; will be killing a significant portion of the recovered population, will it not?
Light grey text on a white background. Come on. Give us a break from this horrible tech fashion.
Well, this logic should also apply to Dart which is not seeing same level of adoption as Go.

Disclaimer - I do not use Go.
Angband has a cheat death option, I usually play with it on. Of course I try very hard not to die, but I enjoy the game more if I don't have to start again if I make a mistake. There are so many parts to the game, permanent death is only one and I'm happy enough playing without it.
Sounds like a great opportunity to contribute fixes and improvements.
Cool but although I agree with the general message :

"The market returned 214.6% during this period or 21.05% annually."

This simple math statement is wrong and makes me wonder about this website accuracy.

edit : yes this was for a period of 9 years on the market which should be around 9% annual returns instead.
Predictably, the price stayed the same though
Thanks, I hadn't seen that yet. Rick and Morty funny as usual.

If Twitter doesn't check for a valid response at each URL, then this will be possible anyway. If it does check, then this wouldn't be possible anyway.
Any reason Twitter just doesn't let you use HTML anchors, and skip this whole mess?
Querying each URL would be impractical to do on the Twitter client side, especially on a mobile device, even simply from the latency before you can render perspective. You could render the tweets with the shortened links and then reflow the text if/when each HEAD request returns, but that would probably result in a crummy, slow experience for the reader as they scroll through tweets.

Twitter could indeed have done it on their side, but just doing it themselves is more efficient for them and provides a bit of extra user benefit - the fact it's automatic so you get more room for text in your tweets, their malicious link protection, and reliability if you assume Twitter is more reliable than J Random URL Shortener.
This is actually a problem with most startups. They don't concentrate on something that's a viable business and fail within a year or two. I don't necessarily want to become rich. I just want to have a business where I have enough money for me (and anyone else involved in the company) to live comfortably and most importantly, not have to go back to a day job.
Agreed, but if you're not paying attention to the bottom line, it's easier to go down a rabbit hole instead of pivoting.
Yes, it would be horrible if people could send messages longer than 140 characters via Twitter. The Internet as we know it would collapse.
I thought that the distributed part wasn't opensourced.
Perhaps the onus is on you to change your opinion on crypto, regardless of whether it belongs in Signal or not.

Or she could use OAuth with an existing login from Google, Apple, Facebook or even Github and Gitlab, if she fancies that more.
> I'm generally skeptical of Apple's pro-privacy messaging

That's a very healthy attitude towards Apple's claims. They developed all these APIs that allow app makers to spy on their users, and then blame the app makers for spying.

For example, why does any app need to know which other apps I have installed, and how long I use them? This permission should very sparingly pass the review process, and only for apps in specific categories.
No ... you can never convert electricity to heat at > 100% efficiency.

What heatpumps do is transfer heat from one place to another while using electricity. And they have some nice limitations on temperature operating ranges.
I think of dreamweaver more as a wysiwyg tool than a static site generator. Although you can obviously generate static sites with it, I don't think it really fits the modern workflows I would associate with static site generators.
And Kubernetes came from Borg.
Our lawyers reached out to the people behind that suit. They found that the main issue was the way that their product handled copyright. We work differently and comply with those laws.
Bank bailouts were given to banks that didn't need it. It was then paid back super fast.

For example US Bancorp didn't partake in much if any of the crazy stuff, and was financially pretty fine, but it still got a bunch of tarp funds it didn't need.

It wasn't always a case of pointing or whatever, it was a giant broad effort to prop up many sectors of the economy.
The other question is “why don’t you see that noise when the TV is tuned in?”

The TV has automatic gain control. When the signal is weak, it will amplify it up to the right level. If the signal is just background noise, then it will amplify that background noise until it’s at the “right level” for a proper TV signal. So, the gain is lower for stronger signals, and very high when there is no signal at all.

Fun fact: B&W TVs are more suitable as computer terminals because they have more bandwidth for the luma signal. Color TVs have to filter out the chroma signal, which reduces the bandwidth for the luma. If you are stuck with a color TV for your terminal, consider modifying it to accept a signal after the low-pass filter. This is not too hard for someone comfortable with a soldering iron, someone who isn’t scared of drilling a hole in their TV.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Here's the dictionary definition I think is relevant to the discussion:

bodily exertion for the sake of developing and maintaining physical fitness

So video games and scary movies wouldn't count whereas sit-ups and push-ups would. Science can tell us the types of "bodily exertion" that contribute to "developing and maintaining physical fitness", that's how we can know what counts and what doesn't.

> Can you make empirical claims about exercise when one person is deadlifting 350lbs and the other is running 10 miles a day?

If you control for diet you absolutely can.

I am kind of amazed the author didn't mention Parse once.
We attempted something similar in my previous company. I can tell you it failed, and why so as not to make the same mistakes we did. For starters, they are an IT services company so it was difficult to implement from the get-go when you are dependant on your employees being billable. We were hoping to build software products, and we knew that we would need to provide support and incentives b/c we were essentially asking those involved to work hours outside of their normal schedule. We set up a fairly streamlined, gated process which provided the teams the ability to receive mentorship throughout each gate. They would formalize an idea/concept, then run it by the CEO and sales team to ensure it had buy-in and would be marketable to our established customer base. If at any point it wasn't viable they could either pivot or stop. The wheels quickly fell off when the CEO (after signing off on it) decided it was too heavy handed, then the sales team was too busy to meet with any of the teams, and none of the teams could see the incentive to working on something that lacked support and required them to work off-hours to build. Needless to say, this is the opposite of how an YC clone should be inside of a company.
Also, heard on Twitter from @LCrampsie: Angry Birds Facts: cost 100k to make, .99 version has been downloaded 50M times, free ad supported version generates 1M in revenue a month.

I believe the 1M in revenue a month is only from Android and doesn't include ad revenue from iOS.
The concept also does not exist in some databases. Oracle, IIRC, does not have the notion of a clustered index. SQL Server does. Another illustration of why you should not assume that all relational databases work the same way.
A contemporary and more fitting example of a musical hacker would be Imogen Heap.

A professor of mine (this was YEARS ago) maintained that if each table did not have a natural key then the model was wrong. In theory this may be correct, but the use of surrogate keys avoids a lot of problems in practice.
TFlops are a very bad metric for computers. A rocket car isn't better than a Ferrari. A monster truck isn't better than a 4x4. Computers and cars have very complex specs.
I expect the tabloids would have fun fanning outrage if a prominent licence fee payer---funded TV show was shown in a foreign country before it was shown in the UK.

I may be having a durpy Saturday afternoon, but why is 3 not a valid choice for the group size?

I am not saying 3 is a good number in a pragmatic sense, just that eyeballing the informal proof doesn't seem to yield any obvious problems with using groups of 3 for the desired result.
Auto-sharding is when you have a RDBMS that sees "SELECT * FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.c1 = t2.c2" and knows how to choose a plan which minimizes data going back and forth to make that happen. NoSQL instead makes you plow through n^2 records doing every join the hard way in the app, which is about as far from automatic as you can get.

The problem is that the people who actually handle this correctly charge so much that I've never even seen their products in live use. Meanwhile free SQL databases are still really bad at it. But choosing an API that deliberately restricts you to only the worst possible query plans is not going to be part of the solution.
Gmail and Calendar for me.
isn't that how options work? selling something you don't own..
I think you got it wrong. We are irrational no matter what. And we are blind to our own blindness, so we cannot even comprehend, that we are very irrational, unless, of course, we study it.

How did that quote indicate anything about PHP?
Liberalism in this case refer to a cluster of ideas that usually made up a democratic society like South Korea.

Freedom of speech, free and fair elections, the freedom of religion, and all the traditions that make democracies workable.

It does not refer to how "conservative" or "liberal" you are.
If you are getting paid vacation, it has the double benefit that 1- you are getting paid, 2- you are forced to take time off to compensate and avoid burn out.

Most companies I have dealt with in the past (in Quebec/Canada) usually compensated with 1.5h of vacation time for each hour of overtime. A normal work week is 37.5h, and overtime starts at 40h, so you have a bit of leg room. It's a good way to avoid systemic overtime and bad management.
This confuses OOP/procedural semantics with low-level "CPU" work. The argument seems to be that the programming model of a language does not always expose the efficiency of the underlying implementation. And this is also true for "anthropomorphic" models.
