Why do people want to live in a foggy, high priced city?
1. Nerdy guys are hit on by women.(Yes--they are that desperate--remember the lack of available guys?) 2. It's
a strict union city--meaning if you get into a union you have a decent living. There's a ton a jobs, but if it's not union expect around 10/hr. If you look good--a chick will take you into her rent controlled apartment. Money/intellect doesn't mater in your 20-30's though--you have to be a Fonzie--in order to get rent controlled girl.

Owning a car is like shooting yourself in the foot to stop a robbery, except in a handful of neighborhoods.

It's a great town for young men(some of you), but it's horrid for straight women. If you make your fortune
with your start-up, you will move to Marin, and live like
a hermit. Although, your neighbors won't steal from you.

Home is really a state of mind. I've seen successful Flat Landers arrive in the Bay Area, and realize they might
have been the popular kid in there town, but in reality
there just a C student--on all levels. They become depressed within a year.

If you do decide to live if San Francisco most people assume
you have an advanced degree. They are not impressed by
where you went to school. They are impressed with what
you built in your garage though. If you enjoy working
with you hands, and back, look into local 6 apprenticeship
program. If you become a book 1 dude, you will make $100/hr. If you become book 1, don't turn into an asshole
though. Remember, the only reason you make that money is
because of a liberal Union.
and let the product sell itself.

And what if it doesn't?

but I just think more and more code is better than more and more marketing

Ideally you want code AND marketing, and - better yet - you want them working in concert with each other. Marketing isn't something evil, ya know... it's the means to finding out what customers want, and then letting them know that you've built a thing that they will want, so you can sell it to them (or so they can buy it, if you like that terminology better).

Quality marketing is a lot more than just shady web-advertising tricks (pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials, link-spam, content farms, etc.), annoying TV ads, cheesy radio spots, spam emails, etc. Those are all just tactics which a given firm may choose to use or not use.
Cool. I also see that Stanford runs a course on building your own BC crowdfunder: http://www.coindesk.com/stanford-university-startups-course-...

That was the AltaVista innovation, and one I'm sure Google is happy to weed out of everybody's minds regardless of the fact that it works and works well.
This probably has a lot to do with the high level of vigilance that nuclear power receives, notwithstanding the occasional failure.
Techies are also confused. Several times I have heard the claim that 5G only works millimeter wave range and it's only for high density cities.

5G NG goes from 410 MHz to 52.6 GHz. Sub-1 GHz is for coverage wide coverage across suburban and rural areas and help IoT services.

NG encoding is somewhat more computationally expensive in the device, but has more efficient transmission. The bet is that microprocessors continue to become more energy efficient in the future. Energy efficiency of base stations in the rural areas is big thing going for 5G.
First, the Echo is always listening for a wakeword, and just because of the inherent limitations of the device, will occasionally get wakewords wrong. By default, Android phones don't listen to wakewords when locked, and can be easily configured to require a button press before listening.

Second, the microphone on your smartphone is less powerful than the microphone on your Echo, and your smartphone isn't omnipresent in every room of your house simultaneously, including guest bedrooms.

Third, (opinion me) Amazon is a slightly less trustworthy company than Google, and a much less trustworthy company than Apple.

And finally, you can outright turn off assistants on your phone (and should). An always-on virtual assistant run by Google that always listens even when your phone is locked is also a privacy nightmare, but there's pretty much no reason to have that.

If you're paranoid about the security of carrying a microphone that could be enabled via software at any time, you can also install a custom ROM on your Android device that uninstalls Google Assistant and non-FOSS software entirely. LineageOS is really good, I highly recommend it -- it's just not feasible to install for regular, nontechnical consumers.
Power is not just about who is President, while the masses have the vote, it's the people with resources and determination who shape public discourse and backroom dealings.
Definitely, but the casting process itself can cause those kinds of artifacts.
The Secretary of the Navy tried to ignore an order-by-tweet last week and he's been fired.

People who don't act on Trump's tweets can do so, but when he follows up by firing people who don't, that's something of a signal that they're meant to be taken as orders.

It makes Google and Apple targets or any centralized information services for capture to then try to control the narrative globally.
Analogies merely confuse (they always have that superficial "aha!" moment, yet never bear scrutiny). If it must be, however, in this case it's more synonymous with a restaurant that farmed out their kitchen and their wait staff, but they carefully crafted the menu, chose the silverware, and did all of the marketing.
Yeah, it's just the Waterloo word for intern. The short answer is: co-ops are cheap, but usually you get what you pay for.

jesus what's with this new trend of calling everything a bubble?
I wasn't trolling, but clearly my words offended people and I apologize to anyone I offended. Clearly there are many people who are passionate about rock climbing and resented my ignorance. So I wanted to apologize to anyone who was hurt or offended by what I said.
>Yahoo has no spine

Yahoo has no vision, and now they are too busy chasing their own tails with respect to all the bad press they are getting surrounding their layoffs, lack of technology and utter failure in trending technology.

This is just the thing to inspire me to finally research a decent search implementation for some of my projects. And I'm glad IndexTank has taken the time to write clients for stock Ruby and Python. Make my life easy.
SEEKING WORK,
I'm in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA (near Detroit). I do have a Canadian work permit.
I prefer working Remotely but am willing to work on site for the right client.

About me: I've been an independent consultant focused on data analysis, data science, and business intelligence for over 2 years. I have over 10 years of experience in project management and general abstract problem solving through my previous career in mechanical engineering. One of my favorite things in the world is figuring out things that have not been figured out before. Among my clients are a major automotive company whom I am helping identify early stage startups and a company whose search engine optimization I improved. The latter company is now the authority box on Google for it's domain. One of my side projects involves predictive analytics for the NFL that depends on my ability to discover absent statistics.

I'm open to project based, contract, and full time positions.

Email me and let's discuss a project or a position!

Consumer DRM is about making piracy more difficult. It's not an all or nothing proposition.

Video and Audio DRM will never stop scene pirating. It's easy to just copy the output. But it stops me from just copying movies I rented on Amazon Instant to my brothers PC.

If 10% of the population is pirating you shit, you aren't losing very many sales. Sure it hurts your profit margin a little. But most dedicated pirates are junkies for content.

But if my mom can't figure out how to pirate your content, you are fucked. That's why Napster and the P2P ruined the commercial music industry. It not only took a huge chunk of the revenue, but it changed the perception of the value of music itself. Instead of 12 bucks per album, people wanted 20,000 songs on their IPOD for free.

The fight against piracy isn't a fight to exterminate it, but to keep piracy out of reach of the critical mass.

Some DRM really works. PC multiplayer DRM works great and is the only reason the PC industry is surviving. Movie theatres are the best DRM there is. Not being able to sideload stuff on a nonjailbroken iphone is huge.
I only remember the server supporting Java servlets and Perl/sh/etc. CGI. Was there a JavaScript interpreter/runtime built into it, too?
In that case consciousness doesn't seem that Hard.
Red/Green is first of all a terrible choice as it's a very common form of color blindness.

Oh, goody, I get to teach colorblindness again!

The "common form of color blindness" which is usually referred to as "red-green colorblindness" actually does not tend to affect the ability to distinguish red from green. In fact, many people who have this condition -- properly known as deuteranomlous trichromacy or deuteranomaly -- have it without ever realizing it (I didn't know until one day during an eye exam I was given an Ishihara test, and until that point had never had difficulty telling red from green traffic lights, red stop signs from green grass, etc.).

Deuteranomaly involves production of an altered form of γ-photopsin, which is the photoreceptor protein typically associated with "green" in RGB color vision. This causes a shift in the wavelengths to which it responds, so that the overlap between it and ρ-photopsin ("red") becomes greater.

This does not remove the ability to perceive green, but does affect the ability to distinguish hues which fall into the wavelengths in that overlapping area of the spectrum.

An easy way to imagine this effect is to consider a square of pure red projected onto a blank wall, and then introduction of increasing amounts of green into it. The square will move from appearing red to appearing orange to appearing yellow (yellow being made up of red and green in equal amounts). At the point where "normal" color vision would see equal amounts of red and green producing yellow, deuteranomalous color vision will still see slightly more red than green and thus perceive it as still slightly orange.

To cause difficulty distinguishing red from green, an impairment would have to be uncommonly severe, or would have to involve some form of dichromacy (where only two, rather than all three, sets of cones -- red, green, blue -- are present/functioning).
Becase to be efective you take the damm thing before flu season starts in spetember - once you have it its not worth it.

They were not cheap plastic phones, they were expensive miniaturized phones representing the state of the art of portable phone devices.

I blame Apple if nowadays we keep bricks in our pockets.

Bricks that can't work on a battery more than 12 hours.

> PCs that last 12 to 24 months at best

I'm a proud owner of functioning PCs of the 90s, 2000s and 2010s.

The HW inside many PCs is of the same quality than the HW on a Mac, if not better, because people could chose what to put inside them.
It was an algorithm originally. Today it's a bunch of big neural networks as you say, which are basically impossible to document, much less explain changes in, or even know if anything changed.
>Is it the Mac keys you want?

No.

I don't really understand that whenever I bring up a "Mac layout mechanical keyboard", everyone starts talking about keycaps.
> You can still host any legal website you want and email your family any legal content you want.

That's not really practically true. Recent examples include Parler and Gmail.

It's very, very difficult to publish online (at scale) anonymously. The vast majority of any western audience uses services like gmail and facebook messenger, which can (and do) censor messages at will.

That's correct. That's something I read, have repeated but never bothered to actually test.

Did anyone notice $1.2 BILLION (more) is being spent on a program which has not caught a single terrorist, and has proven to let all sorts of things through?
You've got your squint test backwards. What you should do is leave the letters stand and replace all parentheses and punctuation characters by blanks. What remains is pretty much the semantics-carrying part of the code.

This is what I do when I show people Lispy (pseudo)code in presentations and it works fine. The people who like Algol-style syntax imagine the curly brackets are there and the Lispers imagine they see parentheses.
Bntr is essentially just Tumblr chat posts, no?
I think I read about a guy on Reddit who conditioned himself to become an early riser. In the past, he would repeatedly hit 'snooze' and sleep in. His method was to practice waking up. He did this in the evening by matching conditions to his intended morning wake time (i.e. wear pajamas, turn off the lights), set his alarm for a few minutes in the future, lay down, and wait. When the alarm went off, he would stretch, stand up, stretch again, and begin his typical morning routine.

After enough practice runs, the poster claimed that in the morning he would automatically rise when his alarm went off and begin his morning routine. He claimed that he didn't really fully wake up until later.
Indeed, i always have issues with gdb and Lazarus (under Windows) with the debugger randomly deciding to stop working or not stepping through code (even with zero optimizations) or other stuff.

However the new debugger written specifically for Free Pascal seems to work much better - just not available everywhere ATM.
We still maintain our flagship software in Delphi. We were on Delphi 6 until a year ago we jumped to modern Delphi. We were surprised to learn that the Delphi installer was quite broken and the 1 year license doesn't include install help after the first month! Needless to say, we promptly started migrating our code to something else.
If 1/10th of the users on r/WSB would put $1000 fun money in and HODL while focusing all their energy on a select few stocks that would be a billion dollar war chest pointed right at the heart of wall street.

Unfortunately, the mob couldn't hold it together. A bunch of them got caught up in it and decided to dump their life savings at the high water mark and Robinhood really took the wind out of the rally. Robinhood stopping trades seems to be the catalyst that popped the balloon. Now you have 10 million people on Reddit who can't get organized and some are really hurting, even though they should have known better.

The swell was amazing, but it was a rogue wave. I'm sure it will happen again, but harnessing and controlling that energy is going to be like trying to control the ocean.
From the article:

This is precisely why an agency like ESA is developing its Comet Interceptor Mission, to be ready to chase future interstellar visitors.

This is basically the thesis of the article and the person you're responding to: the "orthodox inquisionists" are already doing this stuff, because they're not actually as close-minded as Loeb is making them out to be.
The FM radio thing is apt. My guess would be it also has a way to manage users and call ins. So instead of Tweet this radio personality you can log in real time. Not sure if measuring interactivity is a good thing here though.
He should get his car working first
The thing is, however, that the times are different now. Look at a chart of the US 10 year note from the 60's to the present. It peaked in 1981.

I parse that history as -- the world was coming off of a golden era in productivity, wealth and economic stability. It would make sense for people from B school to make a lot of money if they started getting their chops on Wall Street, etc.

But now it's different. I think that the 10 year note has begun its steady rise again, finally (biggest acceleration since the late 60's and early 80's). But in this economic climate, nimbler business arrangements surely are more viable and better training for future business leaders.

It's just basic math -- in a 4% environment, things like SpaceX and other lighter economic models will be successful. In a 15% environment, financing itself is more useful, and, with synergy and everything, on average produces more massive individual personal wealth.

The constraints that faced those currently on the Fortune 400 list (which is really some sort of integral of the past 30 years -- as these are people at the peak of their careers) are different from those who will be on the Fortune 400 list in 2030.

(N.B. I made all this s* up having looked at an all-time 10 year note chart earlier tonight. But it's an idea.)

ETA: Although it's a bit of a project. I think it would be interesting to compile the 100 wealthiest people in the world over the past 100 years. I have a feeling that certain periods in time would've produced clusters of financiers (JP Morgans, etc.), whereas other times would produce clusters of startup founders. Would be interesting to compare them to different economic indices, etc. Then the thing would be to determine if our own present economic climate resembles others periods -- and what that means to the different types of fields you should, on average, go into to maximize personal wealth (if that's something that you're into). Or at least be aware of it.
I'll second this. I tried to buy Hackers and Painters and the site reported "We're sorry, but your promotional code was invalid."
"It’s interesting that Apple is going to sell it for $5 rather than include it in the system. I’m not sure why."

Sarbox?
It was kinda used by OpenCL, to actually "reserve" something takes a lot more work. And even then I would suppose that the abbrev CL was reserved by Common Lisp during the last 25 years.
Why does everyone discount the idea of people finding apps through the search box? Are the users assumed to be unimaginative and unresourceful? Is the long tail too flat for anyone to make a living off of?
I made that original comment. Thanks for doing the analysis I was too lazy to do! Your analysis jives with the broader point I was trying to make - in the past 15 years, finance has been the surest path to riches in America. It is not just at the level of the Forbes 400. During the real estate bubble, newly minted mortgage brokers (often coming from other fields such as car sales, they found selling debt far more lucrative) were taking home $0.5 million - and not just a few of them. I have had acquaintances in Goldman, at fairly low level in the org chart, who have been taking home similar sums in bonuses every year. I know Unix systems administrators in Wall Street who take home ~$300K/year - and these guys are generally very low in the Wall Street totem pole.

It has been the age of the financier for a while now. No, this is not capitalism at work; it is Federal Reserve policy. It allowed specially privileged entities to lever up (30x leverage in case of investment banks like Goldman or Morgan Stanley, 10x in case of hedge funds), allow them to speculate with easy money, and have them pay out huge bonuses in case of investment banks or huge carried profit in case of hedgies ... and finally bail them out when their leverage blew up on them, only to have them start speculating all over again.
The code is invalid.

I’ve been working as a software engineer for the past decade doing a mix of application development, backend systems and infrastructure and a little bit of embedded systems work. I’m most comfortable with the technologies listed above but I’m certainly open to others as well. While I have less professional experience in this domain, I’m quite interested in statistics, data modeling and machine learning. I have a degree in math and computer science FWIW.

Primarily interested in independent contractor arrangements.
My point is that it's not about the code at all.
I'm on board with the above poster, and you dismissing what they're saying as "deliberately ignorant" because it doesn't jive with your world view is a sad tactic to use when discussing something.

As somebody who's listed products on the AWS marketplace, when you "subscribe" to a product you give them your information as due course. This is obvious, spelled out, and known across all the marketplaces. So I'll assume the part you take issue is, is with reaching out to the individual on LinkedIn instead of through Azure. I don't understand how in a world where companies cold call you after buying your phone number, and spam you with emails after you try to unsubscribe, suddenly messaging you on LinkedIn is over the line.

It's strange, and I'm glad they're moving away from the practice, but to pretend it's this big privacy fiasco is disingenuous at best. They (Canonical) still have all your data, they're just being more subtle about it now. How is that better?
