Would information about CEO behavior be useful to investors? That's worth considering. Browsing history? Phone call patterns?

It's being worked on at the Harvard Business School.[1]

"We measure the behavior of 1,114 CEOs in six countries parsing granular CEO diary data through an unsupervised machine learning algorithm. The algorithm uncovers two distinct behavioral types: “leaders” and “managers”. Leaders focus on multi-function, high-level meetings,while managers focus on one-to-one meetings with core functions. Firms with leader CEOs are on average more productive, and this difference arises only after the CEO is hired. The data is consistent with horizontal differentiation of CEO behavioral types, and firm-CEO matching frictions. We estimate that 17% of sample CEOs are mismatched, and that mismatches areas associated with significant productivity losses."

That looks like the right idea! Though unfortunately it appears to be closed-source, and the last update was in 2014
Mentally spent, in the back of my mind I have this feeling like "why aren't you accomplishing something" but I just literally can't. I can't even watch tv or something I'm just in a bad mood in general today idk what to do, kill time till I fall asleep. Wake up with a fresh brain and then do the hardest thing first. In the end... it is just passing time... I guess I'm lucky I at least have a job that pays... what I build isn't Uber or something you know it's just like a self jerk "look at me I made a todo list" kinda crap.
Read. Read a lot. Look for successful documents and emulate their patterns. First, understand what the author was trying to accomplish with the doc, then study the structure of the doc, then dig into the language choices. But, if I had to pick one thing to study, it would be structure. I frequently read tech docs that come off as a stream of consciousness. You have to understand your audience and put the effort in to give them context (the problem, the requirements, the methodology) before giving them the solution.

Also write. Write a lot. And ask for help. If you work with/know someone who is considered a good tech writer, I bet they will help you.

Elon Musk is the Tesla and Steve Jobs of our generation.
I agree. He's not really using Emacs as a WM, so much as using no WM, and doing as much as possible within Emacs. Note that Emacs can be used as a WM, with a little effort: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsXWidgets

Likewise, it wouldn't be "using Firefox as a WM" by just running Web apps in a fullscreen FF. You'd need something like PyroDesktop http://web.archive.org/web/20080905102046/http://www.pyrodes...

I much prefer my current Xmonad setup to this "Emacs WM":

1) My windows are all fullscreen, whilst his are stuck at their app-specific defaults.

2) I can use multiple desktops (in practice, each one holds a different app, including 2 instances of Emacs)

3) I can show one desktop on my laptop screen and another on an external monitor (or occasionally a projector). I have no idea how his setup would cope with multiple screens.

4) I can have long-running external windows. He must close his before returning to Emacs. Whilst I could live without this, it would be a pain. Even if I only used each app temporarily, I'd have to wait for them to start up every time.

5) I can run slow Emacs applications in a separate instance. I read my mail with Gnus, which gives me four options:

5a) Run Gnus in my main Emacs instance, which will freeze every time updates are fetched.

5b) Start a separate Emacs instance for Gnus, which I must wait for as it fetches updates, since it is overlayed above my main Emacs instance.

5c) Start a separate Emacs instance for Gnus in a terminal, which of course limits me to a character-based interface, and causes key conflicts between the outer and inner Emacs instances.

5d) Have a long-running GUI Emacs instance, fetching mail on another desktop, which doesn't interfere with my main Emacs and I can switch to instantly whenever I like.
I tell people all the time that some of my best years were being broke and working 7am - 7pm on my failed startup. We had a preverbal basement in the form of a small business incubator, it was great. I miss those guys. I miss talking about their products, working through some rough decisions with everyone in the office. I haven't left the basement yet, mine is just a little more comfortable and only open when I'm not at work. I'm sure I'll miss this phase in a few years time. Good post
I feel like this entire paragraph, to a real physicist, must read the way absurd TV or movie hacking dialog sounds to people in software:

"Based on the latest evidence and theories our galaxy could be a huge wormhole (or space-time tunnel, have you seen "Interstellar?") and, if that were true, it would be "stable and navigable". This is the hypothesis put forward in a study published in Annals of Physics and conducted with the participation of SISSA in Trieste. The paper, the result of a collaboration between Indian, Italian and North American researchers, prompts scientists to re-think dark matter more accurately."

What an absurd article, through and through.
Most editors have a JSHint plugin, which will check your code as you go and point out when you've made a syntax error or used a bad practice.

I use it with Syntastic + Vim and it's a long time since I've ever loaded up code in a browser and there's been a syntax error. Definitely worth checking it out if that's the last hurdle before switching.
After years of using vim I made the switch last Friday when I stumbled across this fellow's blog post while randomly trying to figure out more about evil mode: http://juanjoalvarez.net/es/detail/2014/sep/19/vim-emacsevil...

It took all day Saturday to configure things so they mostly behaved the same as my vim environment, mixed with learning emacs specific stuff along the way. There's a few quirks I still need to work out, but the power to configure absolutely anything is worth the switch in my book. I have to admit, I wish I had made the switch sooner.

The biggest thing I desire right now, and maybe I just don't know what to look for, is a way to swap between full sets of buffers. i.e. Group A: handful of IRC windows, Group B: project 1's code buffers, Group C: project 2's code buffers, etc. Maybe someone has a tip?
Although successful networkers must be calculating, ruthless and shameless, they do better
when they somehow make it all seem spontaneous, accidental even

A couple of years back I was working with a guy who had grown a consulting shop into 70-80 folks. I was helping with sales into an existing client. The deal was I'd help do the sell and then I'd pick up a few months of work to add to my runway for my startup.

We needed another consultant, so the main office sent us some candidates. The guy I was working with immediately picks the one with the most connections, even though his skills weren't a good match. When I mentioned this, he said "Yeah, but it's not important whether his skills match. We need his network." If you're looking to grow a business, it's all about finding people with good networks and mining their contacts.

This guy continues to do very well in the business, and now he has a huge network, but there's always that slight feel of inauthenticity about him. It's nothing that anybody would point out, and it doesn't prevent him generating business. It's just there.

Contrast this to me. I follow and try to be friends with people because, well, I like them. I like what they're doing and I want to hear more about what's happening in their lives. My network is not very huge, but my goal is to get to know folks and have them get to know me, so it can never be that huge.

I'm not saying my way is right and this other guy's is wrong, but I am much happier doing it my way than if I did things the way this other guy did. The minute I start feeling like I'm conniving? I'm doing something wrong.
> Aren't organizations built for maximizing profits inherently on a lower moral ground than non-profit organizations[1]?

No, certainly not inherently. Even if we define moral ground as the degree of altruism of motives (which is way too narrow in my opinion), non-profits do not inherently pursue altruistic goals, but rather non-monetizable goals.

But if we define it as something that the society should encourage because it's beneficial to the society then for-profits are arguably on a higher ground since they are demonstrably beneficial to people who are willingly giving them money while all some non-profits can show in their defense is abstract ideas. KKK is a non-profit.
That's a good point Scott. Asynchronous clock domains are indeed complex and it took us time to manage them efficiently. When you need to connect different clock domains with Cx/ngDesign you have to synchronize the various tasks with specific components (e.g. SynchronizerMux) http://cx-lang.org/documentation/instantiation/stdlib.
Simulating the interactions between the domains is not yet supported by our simulator. We will develop this feature when people will request it. And you know, we're a startup so we still have plenty of R&D to do :-)
>Corporate taxes allow governments some level over control over corporate policy by incentivizing certain behaviors through deductions/credits etc.

Money is fungible. From an accounting perspective $1 given via tax credits is identical to $1 check given by the government. That said, your point is still valid because the former is much more politically palatable than the latter.
What does “surface” mean here? It’s not explained or even used once in the article body.
Let's say hypothetically John Smith makes $500k/year as a software consultant. Instead of being paid directly he starts John Smith Inc. and routes his income through his corporation. He withdraws $100k/year in dividends to pay his living expenses which is paid under capital gains rates, the other $400k/year is invested in the stock market and grows tax-free forever inside the tax-sheltered corporation. The vast majority of John Smith's income will never be taxed as he only needs to withdraw enough in dividends every year to cover his living expenses.
IP lawyer here — @wtallis's summary is how I understand the impact of the Federal Circuit decision as well.
Some countries have no personal income tax for citizens and residents. US did not have one for half of its existence and when one was created it was tiny. Now most governments treat their citizens as 2 classes: those that can be taxed to death and those that can receive for nothing in return. This is a big divide that is growing, not closing.
Yeah, this immediately broke my idea of only dealing with cents and integers. All of a sudden I wanted to price something $0.001 and it all came crashing down.
>No, only help people if they didn't bring it on themselves and would probably be able to receive the help.

You're suggesting that this is what Christianity has to say on the subject of charity?

>Right, but you present [charity] as an obligation.

No, I didn't. I pointed out that voluntary charitable contributions would be a good way to resolve the tension that the OP feels between 'justice' and 'mercy'.

>Oh boy, you're gonna hate this. Yes. And we already do.

In the case of organs there's an inherently limited supply, since people have to donate voluntarily and all sorts of other conditions have to be met. It's not as if we're throwing away livers rather than give them to alcoholics.

I'm sure you must be aware that we do treat all kinds of obesity-related conditions – and at great expense. In the case of HIV treatment, it's largely just a question of paying for drugs which can easily be manufactured in the required quantity.

But I guess at this point I'm wondering what your actual position is. Are you in favor of conditionally refusing treatment to HIV patients depending on the manner in which they contracted the virus? If so, why not just come out and say it? And if not, what exactly are you getting at?
I never considered it a bad series. We had it on TV even behind the Iron Curtain before 1989.
I'd love rural living, but I've opted for a walkable suburb on the coast. My current job allows me to work at home full time unless I am traveling, and my wife commutes but has a flexible schedule and gets to work at home regularly.

There are times where the diversity of a city would be great, but I don't like the noise, traffic, or public transportation.

In the bay area, BART is ok, Caltrain isn't bad, but Muni? Oy.

Just coming back from a business trip to Tokyo (my first time here), I can see how public transport can be very efficient. That said, even here, I got to over hear some google employees whining about their offices being moved to an area that was mostly business park and not wanting to commute.

No matter where you choose to live, there are personal choices that are part of the calculus.
well i wasn't smart enough to get into standford and i already paid my student loans so...
An example of this I was recently explained:

There's a leg connecting Tokyo and Mexico City. The Tokyo flight goes direct to Mexico City however the Mexico City flight stops in Hermasillo on the way to Tokyo.

Due to the higher altitude of Mexico City, it takes more fuel to get off the ground and requires a pit stop in hermasillo to get all the way to Tokyo.

Disclaimer I'm only partially sure that I'm remembering the whole story correctly.
Irvine is the business hub of Orange County - more people commute into Irvine than out of Irvine. It has giant, well designed surface streets and very little traffic (compared to the rest of SoCal, especially cities the same size). Irvine is one of the nicest, most well designed cities in America.
UDP used to work (~3 years ago) but currently it's blocked wholesale. OpenVPN over TCP gets throttled and blocked thanks to DPI too, an obfuscation layer is required because OpenVPN traffic is identifiable due to a fairly unique encryption fingerprint.

Love these things! Here's a few I have saved:

And don't forget the CTF games: https://ctftime.org/event/list/upcoming/
Thank you! As an Irvine resident (after living in both SV and NYC, I chose to put down roots in Irvine), you are spot on. Irvine is paradise for me, and traffic is one thing Irvine gets better than most SoCal cities. Great points.
I updated with your wording to make this clearer.
While practically no official information exists publicly, this appears to be the reason. My gut tells me that the lack of structure in UDP makes it a little harder to inspect too.
Whether the existence of pi is different from the existence of a given stone is a philosophical question! Maybe you and I exist exactly in the same sense that pi exists: no more, no less.

Concepts can be reshaped. If pi is merely a concept, why can't we conceive it to be something else, like 4.0?
> the over-the-top posture against the NY Times reviewer who discovered that the battery heater could draw enough power to affect range

Actually he claimed to have the heater keeping the cabin at near-freezing temperatures, and the cabin temperature graph captured from the car strongly disputed that. Going over-the-top at the guy was all they could do after he had made so many different false claims. He was probably right with some of the claims, and the proof of him circling around in the parking lot wasn't as open-shut as initially presented, but when you are hit by that many misrepresentations at once you have to fight back fast.
Yeah, I meant "Chelsea Manning" instead of "Bradley Manning".
You also picked a pretty troll worthy title as well (irrespective of content).

We could build a drudge report for CS, but i some how don't think that'd be useful to the community :)

(i found the paper interesting and useful though! reading through the scala has been instructive)
Upvoting not necessarily because I think it relates to the topic at hand but because I always feel very similarly as well. Seems like exercise, proper nutrition, and doing studies at a library or outside of home where you are more likely to be inspired works. Of course, it's easier said than done..
Maybe if the security badge hadn't been so gigantic and cartoonish, the results would have been different. The conclusion that 'every site is unique and best practices shouldn't be adopted without doing any testing', while intuitively sensible, seems to be a premature reading of the data.
If grades don't work what does?

I'm in an anthropology lecture where the professor who taught in the department for 35+ years is allowed to largely not believe in grades and basically dictate answers to students during the exam. I personally used the lectures as an introduction to a new to me topic, but a large number of students sign up for the lectures having found from their peers about an easy GPA booster. Some didn't listen to the lectures; many skipped it entirely.
"If you don't want your car to be stolen then don't leave it in the street."

There are a number of underlying assumption in your analogy.

- The first is that, like the car, the music you create is owned by you.

- The second is that, like the car, the music you create can be stolen.

- The third is that it is as unethical to share music as it is to steal cars.

All of these propositions are very debatable.

"Seriously, if you one day forget to lock something up do you really think people should be free to help themselves to it?"

I think you're missing my point. I wasn't trying to be a moral arbiter regarding the ethics of sharing music. I was merely trying to say that in the world we live in, you'd have to be pretty naive to release your music to the public with the expectation that people wouldn't share it without compensating you for it. If your goal is to keep your music from being shared, your best bet is not to release it at all.
Why are you biased?

Is Latitudie worth $2.49 over the free Google version? The free one seems to work really well.

I'm biased because I'm a Googler and have been dogfooding the app for a while now.
I think the claim is that PAAS has tradeoffs which you make versus "as simple as dedicated" host-it-yerself, which is true in my experience.

Heroku is wonderful, don't get me wrong, but it is not all "I don't know anything about sysadminning and now I don't have too, git push origin deploy OK now I can go back to making rounded corners and drop shadows" peaches and cream. I have a client product on it. Half of the gems/plugins that I used required me to either hack the source or do some deep spelunking to find out why they aren't working. For example, I used TinyMCE editor for that nice Wordpress-esque WYSIWYG feel. TinyMCE is written in Javascript, and the configurations for the plugin causes the Javascript to be written out on first access. Heroku is not quite so happy when you try to write things to the hard drive, and died hard on that.

This was for a site which is pretty darn pedestrian as far as Rails projects go.
Yes, I've seen the funding tracking. A Wikipedia/Github style version control system is exactly what I'm thinking. Nothing complex, but damn powerful.
When do standard techniques start to move into the territory of enhanced interrogation techniques? 8 hours without water? 12? 18? 48?

What about what-not-to-do advice?
The top 45 cities are what, 200 million people? So 85% of Chinese people live somewhere more rural than where you grew up, and in China that's correlated with poverty and all sorts of negative things.

This is exactly what I mean; the relatively advantaged Chinese are under the impression that they are the average. They're not at all. The average Chinese person lives no place they're likely to escape for the Bay Area. Most people can't even escape to a normal life in a tier 1 city within China.
This is actually fascinating to me. I’ve dealt with keyboard input numerous times (not WinForms or browser either) and I always devised a way where control characters were a bitwise with the keycode. You would have to include this in any input mapping. I can totally see where this key combo issue would be a problem in a UI scenario in the browser or other shortcut-laden desktop app.
That's why I switched to American keyboard some time ago.
Courts and police have still done vastly more for minorities than against them.
Of renderings instead of actual translations? One of the most notorious examples is Coleman Barks’ "translations" of Rumi that Shambhala put out. Barks does not actually know Persian, and his versions of Rumi are based on existing English translations along with his own personal inspirations.
It means it supports a lot of jobs. Large auto plants can directly employ 10,000+ people.
This reminds me of the time I was riding my motorcycle in the cold at night on the highway from Vermont to Massachusetts for 3 hours. I wore a bunch of layers but with highway speeds the wind chill cut away heat incredibly quickly. Creeping cold gave way to mad shivering which gave way to a general numbness and fatigue. But I refused to give in and stop and eventually made it home. I spent a nontrivial portion of that ride saying “Fuck” over and over to myself.

This sounds like that experience times 10. The will of the human spirit is truly extraordinary.
7 years coffee-free.

Please, please tell me this is a true story. It's amazing.
Seriously, downvoters, I'm curious as to what motivated this. What's the need for a hotline? If there are problems, is a hotline really the best approach, or does it suggest that there's some larger underlying issue that makes it necessary?

People used to tout Rails as being stupid easy to use. I.e. http://www.amedias.org/img/java_vs_rails_books.jpg

So, just how complex has Rails become? What are the difficulties people run into?

"We've been covering Yahoo's deepening interest in Hadoop over the past year. The latest development came last week when Yahoo joined the Linux Foundation. It was another signal of its focus on Hadoop and its further commitment to the data analytics technology."

What does joining the Linux Foundation have anything to do with deepening commitment in Hadoop? Supporting Linux makes sense if you're running it on thousands of machines, while Hadoop is a platform-independent (Java-based) stack.
Everyone needs to see this.

I have at least a dozen times already and it's always as inspiring as the last.
