Think it depends on the lens you view this with.

If it's iphones have reached saturation with small business owners, let's build a business on top of that already dug and locked in moat, then perhaps.

If it's offering this feature is a driver for more small business owners buying and sticking with iphones and the accompanying ecosystem, you can see how it's perhaps the smarter play to be an open platform here.
> A person can believe whatever they want, but when push comes to shove, it's a country's court of law that ultimately determines who legally owns what.

I think you've answered your own question - a true crypto believer does not agree with that. If the smart contract says the Ethereum is mine because you wrote it poorly and I called the transfer money function in the right way ("exploited it"), a true believer would say "yep, it's yours."
I feel like a more fundamental question is "Who is qualified to interpret the data?"

Then you can ask, "Of the qualified people, what were they saying at the time?" And if you care to dive deeper, "What evidence were they using to support their opinion?" and "What is the earliest that credible information arrived that should have changed their position?" and "Did their position change, when enough new evidence came in?"

Is there some better set of questions you can think of than mine?
Correct.

Always keep posting to avoid suspicion.
IANAL, but I believe it means that if you misbehave while giving a pat-down or by storing child porn pictures from the x-ray scanner, you will got to jail and the organisation responsible for your actions will go down in flames, just the same as if you were guilty of sexual assault or pedophily and they condoned it with company policy, no matter whether anyone gave consent for you to perform your dirty deeds.

This puts enormous emphasis on airports and/or security organisations to make absolutely god damn sure that no such misbehaviour happen, unless they want to be wide open to lawsuits that will tear them to shreds.
It's all about relationships and the client's experience. If it helps, think of the clients as users of an app, who go through an onboarding process. How do they discover the app? What do they associate with the brand? What steps do they go through and what is the conversion rate on the "funnel"?

You simply build your brand, including a website, a blog and attract people to it. Get known widely (by having content that people share) and deeply (through good work and referrals). This takes time to build. But it's like any other brand.

Basically, you need a brand, and cultivate relationships. Probably the best two pieces of advice I can give you are:

1) Make it safe to fail, so you can iterate and try better things. For example, have 100 users and only try a particular pricing or offer with 5 of them. A/B test various website designs, email marketing strategies, etc. Partner with one or more business developers who are passionate about client relations, and give them % of PROJECTS, not the company. This way, if anything fails, it doesn't bring down the whole thing. And you can do this "all day" because your expected value is always nonzero, so the more you do it, the more you get. You can even hire others to do your job for you - again, on commission. Like 2 levels of MLM.

2) Establish relationships before you need them. Network, and let people know what you need without pushing them. Over time when you really need something, you do 90% of the work (set up the whole experience etc) and let them know how they can be of help by doing only 10% of the work. Something simple and well-defined that starts off your onboarding process. Inbound leads basically, and "warm introductions".
It is used to describe a skillset which has a little experience in a wide number of areas (the top of the T) and deep experience in a single area (the stick of the T).
How would you like it phrased? Obviously if you're totally unbiased (doubtful), then that advice is not for you and you can skip it.
When is there not an appetite for blaming others not in the exact same circumstance as you?
The by default included http module would let you achieve the same thing. Might be a few lines more, but definitely not 1000 modules more.
This is an issue that gets repeated through history over and over again. The group that develops tech, ends up totally screwing over the group that doesn't. So while, before the encounter the group that did not develop the tech, may have a better quality of life, once they encounter each other, the group without the tech gets screwed over.

For example, dolphins and orcas have been screwed over by humans whether getting captured and sent to live in tanks, or entangled in fishing nets, or having their food sources over fished.

It happens in the human realm too. A big example is the the Spanish Conquistadors and the Native Americans. Prior to them meeting, the Native Americans probably had a better quality of life than the Spaniards. But after the meeting, they got totally screwed over.
> We're not talking about secrets and government employees!

Actually, that is the core premise of the conversation I am having.

You probably have a reasonable point, but I'm disinclined to discuss it if we're not actually having the same conversation. All the more so since you have made a false accusation about my desires.
The Learning Style theory is junk with the flimsiest evidence, but tell that to any teaching institute in this arena so obsessed with constructivist ideals. The reason I did not continue on to teach physics was partially due to an insistence that it was teachers who needed to expend more effort to make classes "fit" a student's preferences so that their learning would be a gradual climb. You learn material by flailing, not by floating.
Huge problem: The Xerox scanner software is doing fancy (but broken) AI/OCR-type stuff to compress images that sometimes replaces a perfectly normal number with different perfectly normal looking number in a way that defies belief.
What about (low orbit) orbital platforms? Powerful maser can strike almost everything instantly. They can even launch kinetic/chemical warheads faster than a ground launch site. With today automatic LEO transporters, such platforms can be restocked periodically.
There was a vast amount of shovelware on the NES as well, it's just been forgotten and the gems have persevered in everyone's memory. I have an NES mini and I put the entire NES library on it, and went through some of them with some friends-- the vast majority were garbage.
>2010 was 12 years ago, but millions of Americans still suffer the consequences of the 2008,2009 financial disaster and may well continue to do so the rest of their lives.

True, but don't forget that some of those millions also received tax-free loan forgiveness and walked away from their under-water properties with relatively little harm (mainly emotional distress from being a debtor for a while and having to move).
Nope, the number the execs care about, and the reason all major blockbusters have zero dialogue and plot:

Chinese revenues up 34%
If anything you'd want less resolution near the poles, since they are almost uniformly less populated and hence there is less potential ambiguity between, say, individual dwellings.
Actually, what Apple said was, "...a smaller monitor with a high resolution that causes eyestrain and headaches." Imagine all the headaches iPhone 4 users are going to have.
When I moved to Portland, OR I was amazed with how social the tech community is here. Informal coding gatherings spring up regularly throughout the city, and there are two reliable "pdx hackathon" nights you can show up and hack on interesting projects with interesting people.

24fps is not based on persistence of vision. Persistence of vision exists at 23fps or 22fps and lower for some people. 24fps is an historical artifact of the first few generations of motion picture technology. It is maintained because humanity has grown accustomed to 24fps in theaters for film material. With the advent of video (video tape) and prolific 30fps material (60i material), many people perceive film shot at 30fps to be video and vice versa.

Ultimately, it is an aesthetic.
For me, it wasn't TOO laggy (Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz running the 'Ezra' Flash 10.1 betas). That said, the flash viewer scrolled FAR too fast, and was very flickery. It was impossible for me to trackpad-scroll to the bottom of a page without ending up three pages down.

My question is, why would I want a document collaboration system that I can't use at all on an iPhone or iPad (even in view-only mode), when other solutions like Google Docs work (to my knowledge) quite well?
I'm getting results right now http://cl.ly/2bd805d3c78bd9becea6 (from Spain)
It's really hard to say that iOS 4 is resolution independent. Right now, it pretty much just supports two fixed resolutions. And though the public information is pretty limited, what we do know about the API approach suggests that each additional resolution is going to require a fair amount of manual effort to support out of the box.
I read a lot about this and tried it mid last year. It was hard to adjust to at first. I was really missing some social time and there were times at around 2am that I became depressed with being up at that hour, even though it was my choice.

Productivity was great. I felt rested after my small naps and the dreaming felt very real. Almost to real for certain types of dreams.

I am in the middle of writing a video game and was talking with my wife yesterday about trying this again to get through the last crunch.
Thanks Jeff. Great insight.

The "anti-odor" feature using natural silver struck out to most viewers as something unique so you're spot on when you suggest that's the best angle.

I agree that the direct-to-consumer distribution method is tough; but brands like BONOBOS and EVERLANE have shown that it is possible to become a competitive online-only brand. Launching online is also the fastest and most cost-effective way to starting an apparel brand.

Internally, one of our strategies is to make better quality products than major brands do, so we invest quite a bit more money in manufacturing than them. To offer value to customers, we need to be lean and that's a big reason for going the direct-to-consumer route.

Getting the product into colleges or athletic leagues would be fantastic. Great advice. I'm currently working on getting it into one of the best of the PAC 12. They really like the product but there are a lot of other challenges to overcome.

Kevin Plank is an inspiration and what he did with Under Armour is magnificent.

Thanks so much for the feedback. It really helped. Feel free to ask me questions if you're curious to know anything else about the brand/product.

If you're going to posture as an amateur writing critic, thinking about the social context of Asimov's writing, you probably shouldn't also condemn a writer loved by readers, writers, and critics as "pretty much universally crap". It's counter-cultural and pretentious yet very shallow, and so you lose a lot of credibility as a critic.
Facebook has a phenomenal amount of organized data about their customers, and a reasonable amount of unorganized data.

It's a data miner's heaven.

People leaving for potential higher pay, when it's a lot higher, is natural.
Also, working for a non-public company is often quite different than a public one. Facebook is private, so we really have no idea what it's like to work there, and they can do pretty much whatever they want with their money.

Also - engineers who can cop 3.5 million dollar raises just to stay somewhere aren't really concerned about job stability, yeah? They can find work easily.
I predict that as soon as facebook/twitter popularity will start to go down these same people will be some of the first to jump ship. I don't think this has much to do with bureaucracy.
I think he's referring to TSA officials not being trained very well, and that their biggest indicator of a potential threat is the name and race of the passenger.
In general there's less friction when shifting jobs in California due to non-compete clauses being (mostly) banned:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause#California

The article mentions a case in 1998 where out of state non-compete clauses cannot be enforced in California.

They are enforceable in Washington state, Microsoft's main location:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-compete_clause#Washington

This might be one reason why you haven't seen something like this at Microsoft.
Some interesting links, but not a lot of original information here.

it ends up being the alternative in practice. just look at Germany and Japan who spun up more coal plants to replace nuclear.
I think the real successor to torrents was actually its predecessor, and that's binary usenet files. Download speeds are bottleknecked at your own downstream, most providers have SSL support for encryption of everything you download, and there's a plethora of content. People don't really know about it though

Thanks. Have fixed it. Will do a spell check site wide
Does this sound believable for anyone that knows something about the current state of the art in space traveling?
There's an algorithm developed by Marcus Hutter called AIXI, which makes provably optimal decisions. Unfortunately(?) it's also uncomputable, but computable approximations exist including a Monte Carlo variant: http://www.vetta.org/2009/09/monte-carlo-aixi/. As the paper notes it scales extremely well; to get better results you just throw more computing power at it.

Stiltmen working hop fields.

http://www.britishpathe.com/video/stiltmen-aka-stilt-men

My mother and her family used to pick hops. It was a holiday for them. They'd travel to the countryside for a week, work to pick hops and get a bit of money for it.

EDIT: thinking about stilts in an orchard are a bit scary. You have all that pressure on one skinny little stilt-foot, on mud which might be soft, walking through grass which might be long. I don't know if that's difficult or if I just have terrible coordination.

EDIT2: a google image search for [stilt-men orchards] returns many interesting images of stilts being used in orchards.
I think Amazon is emulating http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_500
Such as an ignition switch which you turn to the left to physically cut power to the ignition system, like we used to have back when cars weren't so overcomplex.
Yeah, I think the keyword there is ideally, because it's really hard to know how much of a difference it actually makes.
If the vendor (loosely defined) is aware of it, but they can't fix it in a single day, then it becomes a 1-day, I suppose.
Title shortened a bit to comply with the 80-character limit.
So, I've been talking to a lot of Uber/Lyft drivers, and while I have no carefully tabulated data to quantify my point, I must say Lyft drivers complain less than Uber drivers (at least not explicitly) about their respective employers.

This attitudinal difference is most acute when the driver drives for both: they generally like Lyft better for how the company treats them but are also on Uber to ensure steadier business.
Well the Alzheimer's study is still useful in its own right.
I’ve been a regular Lyft Line user. Except for some cars that show up in pretty bad shape and smell, it’s a good experience. And I’ve had to wait much longer on an average.

It’s heartening to see a company just focused on the “user” and not just world domination.
Whoops. That was a misread. Is there a way to edit on the iPhone client?
OS X users — Use MetaDataMover to move and rename automagically based on embedded metadata. I have folders for year, month and day. The file name includes the camera name (we have several) and a sequential #. We try to remove poor photos as soon as we download them. In 30 years you're not going to want to look through gigs of photos, you just want to see the best (and most memorable) ones.
You're missing the points, which are:

A) "Justified true belief" as the criterion for knowledge is not common in epistemology, contra the initial comment;

b) "Scientific belief" is an odd term given that you either have "knowledge" or you have "false beliefs" based on best available science.
I wonder what this means for Metromile (https://www.metromile.com). I drive 1-2 times per week, and I'd considered switching from Geico to Metromile for the cost savings, but this gives me real pause.
FWIW I think you're an asset here and don't let the downvotes get to you. It happens.
It's similar, but the whole point of the trick here is to move the generated code so it doesn't "pollute" the instruction cache in the CPU. __builtin_expect still puts the error-handling instructions right next to the rest of the code. The lambda puts the error-handling instructions elsewhere.

Whether or not this will impact performance depends, and will need some careful profiling. But I can imagine some situations where keeping the "hot" instructions in the cache and the "cold" (error-handling) instructions out of the cache could be beneficial.
I run Shipyard (www.shipyardapp.com) a workflow orchestration platform that's designed to handle the scale of processing and moving large data sets. It sounds like we'd easily fit the bill for what you're looking for.

We're not a workflow as code framework like some of those that you mentioned. We let you automate your existing code (upload, copy/paste, or sync with Github) in the cloud with built-in monitoring and alerts. Install any packages at runtime, run each script in a containerized fashion, and connect them all together with complex pathing. No code changes or infrastructure management required.

If you're interested, feel free to reach me at blake[at]shipyardapp.com. Would love to help you tackle your use case!
Thankfully not yet. But as you are correctly pointing out this is another trend I find personally worrisome.

Recently I've seen startup, where you were earning XP points for quickly closing customer support tickets, and earning badges...
Good recommendations. To minimize Youtube tracking, I use the fantastic `youtube-dl` to get the movie (or only audio) locally, then keep it or discard it as the case may be.
After 20 years in software, I had a phone interview with an Amazon guy who sounded half my age (at most). Asked me to write some kind of function to do something, sort some stuff or some such. I described verbally how I would do it, almost line by line, in pseudo-code. He said "I need you to write it out in [some language]". I said "But why? I just told you how I'd do it." But he needed me to literally write the code out, as though I couldn't easily copy-and-paste something for him. I thanked him and hung up. All I learned from that encounter is that I'd be very unhappy working with people like him. Bullet dodged. Sure, I use my knowledge of algorithms, and I frequently look such things up on StackOverflow and improve my knowledge; we all do. But these interviews seem designed to filter out experienced, pragmatic programmers and just bring in more cookie-cutter software engineering BS/MS recent grads who speak their language. A far cry from the startup environment that most of these companies began as!
Hi @bakary, you made a good point here. To add your point, I also found that nowaday, the product may be the marketer itself (let's say myself, then 'sawirricardo' is certainly the product I'm selling), speaking in this creator economy.
The world population in 1889 was actually in better health relative to the co-morbid conditions that cause bad COVID-19 outcomes. Levels of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases were all much lower. Partly that was because people ate less and moved more, but also unhealthy people just died sooner so they weren't around to be infected by a virus.
My experience at a startup that tried this approach is that engineers got frustrated and quit (yes that includes me). I don't think a "project of the month" mindset is healthy even in the short term. People are not built to handle massive amounts of stress and failure constantly, our brains can only take it once in a while.

I can only see this approach working at places that have raised a lot of capital that allows them to outsource these projects. Consultants will get paid with your investors money, deliver the codebase, and you get to blame them in the next board meeting after you fail to attract a single customer.
Hi, it wont be independent again.
I don't think many people who got a job at these companies used CLRS to prepare for the interviews. At least not the ones I know. There's a reason leetcode is so popular. In my own experience you really need to know how to solve the typical easy/medium questions quickly, interviewers themselves don't really want to ask hard questions. The infamous CTCI covers them, EPI is better from what I've heard.
I actually know that intersection (3rd/Pike) quite well and think the issue is more the 7/11, cigar shop, and major bus transfer point than the McDonalds in attracting loiterers/criminals.

I was wondering how it was possible for Macy's retail employees to work in the mall prior to Amazon's purchase, but how it was unsuitable for software engineers. Surely at one point the Macy's employees were selling fancy clothes, perfumes, and housewares from that location...
Great news. As a 2x Kickstarter creator and having backed dozens of projects the Amazon payment process has always been the worst part of the experience.
WordPress is a 10k piece of software that is completely free. You start from there, and explain how and why OSS works, and what work they would be paying for.

If they can understand the "everyone does a little bit" model (an overgeneralization), and understand the value proposition of WordPress, there's not really a lot to sell. Almost everyone can afford a WordPress installation and WordPress can scale to fit almost everyone's needs. Just don't abuse it.
I found this extremely concerning too. It should be possible to modify these options without resorting to hacks (that may break when OpenSSH is upgraded) _if_ these modifications are indeed necessary. From some of the comments here it's clear that this article is a mixture of good, bad, and silly advice - do those other authentication methods actually need disabling?
I made a fully autonomous bot for a 15 year old MMORPG. The bot can completely play the game with very little intervention, and I have about 2,000 people paying $5.75 monthly for it.
In 20-50 years time I believe most missiles/guns/tanks/weapons will be controlled via computers and connected to networks.

A future AI will certainly have access to guns.
Responding to the title only ... I know how you feel.
