I think the theme of "recruiters are a waste of time" comes back again and again because most people (me included) haven't seen a single one that was useful or helpful.

And every time in threads like this one, there are a couple of recruiters jumping in explaining that yes the industry has a lot of bozos but that they are doing their best, etc.

I'll stay on the side of "recruiters are a waste of time" until I meet one that seems to know what he's talking about, follows up on positions he was supposed to set me up with, gives me advice on resume/things to learn/..., etc.
Enforcing one's trademark does not constitute "discrimination".

Facebook is in the right here. Lamebook is clearly an attempt to cash in on the Facebook name, trademark law does not permit that, trademark law is correct here. Merely being "the little guy" doesn't make you right or give you carte blanche to ignore whatever laws you want.
I was reading a post from SmartBear the other day that touches upon this: http://blog.asmartbear.com/how-to-get-customers-who-love-you...
Is anyone aware of privacy issues with SwiftKey?
I'm surprised to see that household income correlates relatively strongly with both IQ and non-IQ genes. I would've imagined IQ genes would be dominant there.

Edit: after reading the blog post I'm not surprised anymore. Since non-IQ genes are defined as "...behaviors and abilities that are not measured by traditional IQ tests but are thought to help people be more successful in school, in their jobs, and in life generally." it would be surprising if they didn't have significant correlation.
So no new ice age yet then?
Great, keep up the good work.
> Proper security may be hard, but election security is at the level of someone running a 5-year-old Android phone which no longer receives security updates.

I'm serious. Go read the papers. You very obviously don't have a background in academic security. Because Oakland doesn't tend to accept stuff on trivial matters.
I agree, Mint is a joke compared to YNAB. It didn't even come close to addressing my budgeting needs or giving me an insight into my finances.
The cost of retraining the pilots was something that's been shouldered dozens of times in the past. I'd imagine that an Engineering CEO making a bold bet that software could avoid the retraining need would have been both more ambitious and smarter about the change. Why not build the right airframe and give the plane flight modes to emulate the characteristics of various 7xx aircraft that pilots were familiar with?
>The left should be careful about who they label as terrorist and insurrections. People generally don't admit to being wrong. And backing his supporters into a corner, by projection will not go well.

So... we should be careful not to call the Trump movement terrorists or what they did insurrection, otherwise... what? What does "backing his supporters into a corner, by projection will not go well" mean? Violence? Sorry, more violence?

Sounds an awful lot like a threat of terrorist intimidation to me. But I don't know. I mean, I don't want the Proud Boys to slip an IED under my car so I guess I should go along with it? For the good of the country?

In fact we probably shouldn't arrest any of them. What insurrection? What pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails? Let's just make it so nothing they do is illegal - we don't dare threaten them or their self image, after all. Who knows what they might do? They can storm the Capitol as many times as they want. Hell, the next time they run a car into some protestors, we'll even cut their auto insurance premiums!
Typically investigators will comb photos of the event for him and note additional identifying information and who he seems to be hanging around that they can identify.

If they haven’t already identified him by that point, they figure out where he came from and start combing through “Patriot” events in his area of origin.

He has got tons of identifying traits, he’s wearing fairly particular clothing items with patches in a certain configuration. These people tend to have their "event uniforms" and don’t change it up much.

He will be IDed. He probably has been already.

Edit: Upon another look, I missed the completely obvious on him. His Blue Lives Matter emblem is shaped like Tennessee. There we go.
People can and do sue Google all the time for violating laws and their own policies for Gmail. Turns out they rarely have a legitimate case, but the point is that Google is not unaccountable except in the imaginations of cynical paranoiacs who, by painting an exceptionally well-behaved company with the same brush as admitted adversaries, undermine incentives for companies to behave well.
Happiness is a state you should pass through, not rest in.
Good point, I should have clarified that it's two specific vaccines. I can't edit the submission now.
A summary.

Like with audio and video, you lose some of the original details, but maybe that doesn’t matter to you if it captures enough of what you find important.
I have none. But I do gave HandBrake installed.
The CNI project manages the spec, a Go library to help parse the json, and some basic plugins that set up a loopback device, bridge, etc.

Intentionally, people can use the spec to write whatever they want.

Istio is a vastly bigger tool that uses CNI as a hook to get in between a container and the cluster.
You could write such a program, but my point is that it's a horrible inconvenience. CLI programs compose to the moon, but it's hard to get GUI programs to compose at all.
If an algorithm runs faster on CPU than GPU, then it's only a matter of time before it gets optimized for GPU and at the end of the day will still run faster on GPU.
They don't want a third-party app to become a key part of the iOS experience because then when it is ported some of the Apple sheen would likely rub off on Windows/Android.
Does this mean that I can finally fulfill my dream of porting my WOW add-ons to the iPhone?
I haven't used their service, but SimpleCDN advertises their support for gzip right on the front page, in big letters. That might be a good alternate option to consider, if you have a bunch of text files that need CDN hosting.
I'm very much in agreement here. Sound body, sound mind and all that.

A few comments:

Micronutrients - you should take a vitamin daily
Omega 3s - these are well worth supplementing, they play a key role in brain development and I have felt an impact from them.

2) The ideal case is to let your body decide how much sleep it needs, I rarely sleep more than 8 hours.

3) I used to run, but a knee injury has taken me out of that particular hobby. What matters is that you raise your heart rate - elliptical machines do a great job, particularly if you do weights in advance. exrx.net has some great info.

5) This shows a bit of prejudice. You definitely should moderate your drug intake and bear in mind that caffeine is just as much a drug as alcohol or thc or lsd. You have to make up your own mind which drugs are acceptable and how you want to use them and in what quantities. Drinking 8oz of wine or 2 ounces of cognac are pretty well equivalent, it's the alcohol that matters. Same goes for tea vs coffee etc.
I agree that it's all keyword based. I think it's because machines can only capture the objective factors of a job search. Things like : "will you get along with the team", do you like the people you'd be working with, etc are very subjective and not easily captured by computers.

Meeting people at events, getting recommendations from other people you trust allow one to evaluate the position at a much more subjective level and make an estimation of the human-elements of working at the startup.
You could outsource on a revenue sharing model, this way both parties' interests are aligned.
The problem is that by acting as the sole gatekeeper for the App Store, anything that is published can be considered to carry Apple's official stamp of approval. That makes them liable for privacy violations and other legal missteps that the proprietor of a truly open platform could disclaim responsibility for.

If they want to control the platform with an iron fist, they can damn well take the bad consequences along with the good ones.
Wow, thats awesome. I really like the fact you can tab through windows. Its very clean, and intuitive.

Thanks
So you're using plain command line ffmpeg or are you feeding the frames yourself? How do you throttle the speed of ffmpeg?
I just checked. They require a CC# from anyone they pay online, in case the seller does just that.
Don't have any sales numbers, just an assumption. And I don't think the Droids are good examples of un-tinkerable handsets.
One small question: if a user has their upload stream redirected to your service, and for some reason this upload is unable to finish, are we now forced to have the user try the upload again? It seems one advantage of the two step process would be the ability to try the process again on behalf of the user rather than making them wait and that should be weighed into the convenience formula.

I've never used your service so I'm not sure exactly how the upload stream is redirected to your platform, so this concern might not be totally valid if the upload is running through the client platform anyways.
No I created a account called "pay.username@gmail.com" :)
I think that's his worry, not that it actually can happen.

Because if it would happen it would happen at 500 degree too.
> But you could likely get a cheap Windows netbook for nearly the same price

And be their support guy forever?
You apparently win.
Most of these local news sites with the same corporate owner all have the same site reskined for locality. So it would make sense they all behave the same way.
> Someone has to be trying to pass before it counts as overtaking and possibly impeding.

So are you saying cars need to slow down to bicycle speeds, wait for the cyclists to go to single file (assuming they do at all), then go back to normal speeds?

> No, not at all! They only have to leave the lane if there is a big enough shoulder. A narrow service road is exactly where bikes are permitted to use the lane!!

Nope. Again, you failed to understand the context.

The service road is narrow—just two lanes, but one for each direction—but the shoulder is well-paved, clean, and nearly the width of a full lane.

I make this extremely clear in my discussion elsewhere.

New York insists that cyclists stay on that righthand shoulder.
Couchsurfing converted to a B-corp, but that didn't work out well (for the members). I think co-op would put the emphasis back on the member experience and would have prevented Couchsurfing from killing its community and ruining its brand. CS also claimed that the B-corp meant it couldn't accept donations or do open source development, though I have no idea if that was true.

If you go for co-op, you could go one further and try for a non-profit co-op: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/nonprofit-coop-66008.html
The chinese sale page is here, I think it is official site (well, actually it says group-buying rather than sale, but maybe just sales gimmick): http://www.loongsonclub.com/gw/, it's 379 rmb. I don't know whether you guys in US or somewhere outside China get any transit companies that they can buy something for you in China, and then send it to you. Off topic, as a guy lived in China, I really can't understand why are you interested in something like that...
> Distraction from mobile phones also led to thousands of accidents, should they be illegal too?

When using any type of vehicle in public areas: Absolutely. And they already are in many places [1] (at least under certain conditions).

I think the most interesting datasets are within reach but require curation yourself. For example there are extremely powerful scraping libraries in just about every popular language today, not to mention APIs such as Twitter's.

If you're looking for a cool dataset to play with, I think it is more productive to ask yourself what questions you want to answer and then find/curate the data VS find a dataset and then ask "what questions can I answer?". The former approach will also keep motivations high if you're driven by curiosity.
Those numbers make me think of "store all the things" rather than useful statistical data.

1PB is arguably enough data to store genetic variation across all human beings.
I want to agree with this sentiment, but after watching how gamedev has progressed in the mobile space, I can't find a good argument against this. Straight up cloning has become common practice in today's industry (assets are switched but with striking similarity to the original), yet I don't see as many people frowning on this practice anymore. At least outside of tech circles.

So yeah, to those of us who understand what goes into development, cloning is ethically reprehensible. But once you step outside of the tech world, I believe the ethics of this become much more murky.
Great recommendation of a great book—you made me wish I could read it again for the first time. I love that book: grand title, compelling style, and fascinating ideas that linger for years.
That's the cool thing about it. We've built it based on pure mechanical solutions, not hydraulics, not actuators (MB had a concept of F300 life-jet that would be the closest option). And to answer your question - we've tried it with two full sized guys and it's smooooooth. We've actually posted a video on our social where two guys are in it, and the driver even touched the ground while tilting. I mean, you can really have fun with this thing no matter the weight
Is there a single selection of battery size? What other pats can be tweaked?
The problem is when some people claim that they just become overweight because of their genes, and are unable to lose weight by eating less. This is a stupid statement which is proven false by basic thermodynamics, and this should be pointed out.

If you look at statistics from Europe at the end of WW2, or from the late 1930s in the US, how many obese people were there? Pretty much zero, because food was scarce.
Yes? They fucking kill people with that stuff, do you know that? Like, literally drop explosive ordinance from the air and kill small children, sever their legs and arms, blind them, and so on. Or sometimes it burns their flesh off, or maybe just gives them cancer twenty years later.

Maybe you're okay with the notion that all of this disgusting violence and death is justifiable in the service of securing our "national interest" (i.e., our access to the natural resources of other countries), but I'm not interested in making this pretense. People who make millions, or billions, selling their effort and expertise to the US military so they can more effectively murder are ethically bankrupt. The more so because they're not doing so in service of specific objectives which you might argue are good (say, the war effort in WWII) - they are just literally supporting the ongoing murderous potential of the military.
Don’t get me wrong, it’d be great to have a good Linux laptop on the market. However, I’ve read too many Dell XPS reviews to stay on Mac(which is suboptimal due to the nature of my work). There’s always something that is misbehaving on Linux laptops: WiFi, the sleep mode(i.e. you open the laptop and it’s ready to work), touchpad, fingerprint reader. Maybe it’s too much to ask, but i) is your laptop MacBook-level smooth on Linux ii) how could you achieve it when big players with much more resources failed?
These numbers are just mindboggling
The latest trend on Amazon seems to be selling items packaged for non-us markets and shipping them to us customers. I bought a two pack Duracell lr44 battery and I think the entire packaging is in Turkish? Or maybe some Eastern European language. Regardless, the battery is definitely not packaged in a way that’s legal to sell in America and the Amazon page did not say it would be packaged for another country. Super shady. And I’m not even sure how to tell if it’s not 100% fake and not just the packing for another country.
I think there's a lot of doubt whether, in the long run, doing your own hardware makes sense for a cloud provider.

If you work yourself into a performance dead-end, you can spend billions and end up with a chip that isn't particularly competitive. Whereas if your supplier does that, you can switch suppliers.

You could spend $X billion, end up with a chip that isn't particularly competitive and just have to eat those billions.

You bring up airlines... airlines don't build their own airplanes.
I just cannot fathom why people would use a tier 2 cloud provider over AWS or GCP. It can't possibly be significantly cheaper. The tooling is non-existent. There is little third party tutorials/documentation compared to tier 1.

Why would anyone buy this?
Thoughtful approach on app pricing and customer selection.

The point that resonated with recent experiences was this one:

"How much effort do I really want to devote to satisfying people who are unable or extremely unlikely to pay for anything? (This is also a major reason why I have no plans to enter the Android market.)"
I am the author and thanks :) A lot jumped out at me but less than 10 that I pulled the trigger on. I really couldn't find a way to organize/sort them in a meaningful ranking. You're motivating me to release bigger lists with 6-7 letters though.
> A lot of things seem obvious if you know the answer. [...] Also, a lot of things that seem fairly common sense turn out to be wrong when you subject them to empirical testing, so be careful about the applying the 'common sense' filter.

A Yahoo researcher wrote a book about this very thing:

Please do not do this. I am sure you don't have the equipment to measure an appropriate dose of caffeine (because scales accurate to 100 milligrams are not very cheap for household use...), and it is not safe to 'eyeball' it. You will start to notice unpleasant effects (restlessness, etc) around 200-500mg, and then above that (say 600-1000mg) you may start to get into what could be called toxic effects (palpitations/arrhythmias, GI bleeding, potential for seizures). Caffeine has a half life of 5-8 hours and so by the time you go for your next dose you probably haven't cleared the first one, so you can definitely build up serum concentration.

Your body can develop a dependency on caffeine and you'll get splitting headaches when you aren't taking it. I also had a friend in college who developed a light but unpleasant allergic reaction to caffeine after (ab)using caffeine pills.

It is not easy to die from caffeine toxicity, but it is definitely possible when you have powder on hand. One or two spoonfuls will do it, so if you have children in the house I recommend even more strongly against having this powder around.

Oh, and the stuff is BITTER. Really, really unpalatable.

EDIT: Oh, and don't base the amount you take on the size of a caffeine pill. Tablets, capsules, etc. are formulated with binders, preservatives, and inert ingredients that often take up much, much more space than the active compound. (I'm a pharmacist).
He priced a 50lb bag of brown rice. I wonder, could you eat that much brown rice before it started to go bad? (Brown rice keeps less than a year; a quick web search says about six months.) You'd have to eat over a quarter pound (uncooked dry weight) per day every day to finish a bag in six months.

Instapaper has little need for a free app because it's so unique; there are few paid alternatives, let alone free ones. If you're building something less extraordinary, offering a free app with an in-app upgrade path makes more sense.

The free-to-pro transition seems to work better with a single app using in app purchases (to remove ads and unlock features) than with two separate apps.

It's possible to structure the experience in a free app to make the upgrade more compelling too. Thermo and Astronut (both for iPhone) are two examples that handle it well in different ways: Astronut (game) presents an upgrade option when you reach the end of the first stage; Thermo (temperature widget) shows an ad at the bottom with a tempting X button -- when you tap that, you're prompted to upgrade.
Is it legal to wear these things in public? I feel like someone would definitely call the cops on you out of fear.
Today? By definition the Human Condition is eternal and doesn't change over time, here are my timeless definitions that are true across all the ages and all the cultures of man;

1)You are mortal and will die and you know it. Most religions are attempts to deny this fact. From the East, you don't really die you get reincarnated and come back as a beetle or some other creature in an endless cycle of life. From the West, you don't really die you go to Heaven where your life continues despite your new home transcending space and time of this world. This is called rationalization to avoid facing this fact.

2) You are an epistemological island and the only consciousness you will ever experience is your own. Nobody can think for you and your life depends on what you think. There are no Son's of God nor UFO aliens coming to save you. There are no Saviors, it is all on you.

3) You are born unto an era that you did not choose and culturally will not change much in your lifetime. The best you can do is make the future better but you won't be around to enjoy it and the culture you enjoy today was made by others who worked for a better future in their time. Pay it forward.
How do you manage to get the scaling exactly correct? I print maps onto waterproof paper from an app, but the scale is never quite right, which makes them hard to use.
I must say, in general, I'm pretty impressed with the prime minister. We shut down the entire country as soon as we have seen 2 cases of community transmission ( the rest of the cases are direct contact tracing from people travelling ). We could've done it a day earlier, but still, pretty decisive.
This is not accurate. There are many CPU projects/work units for COVID.

I'm not a vet, but I don't imagine ivory contains any DNA so therefore customers couldn't test it for proper rhino/elephant DNA. Would be able to test it with something like MALDI-TOF to properly identify it, but that is not easily accessible outside of academia.

Were Steve Jobs, John Ive, Tim Cook and other Apple guys crystal clear about the theory when they started iPod/iPhone? I don't think so. Apple has a unique weapon called design and is willing to pay whatever it costs to enhance it. Its business is to use the weapon wherever there is a chance: mp3 player, tivo, mobile phone, watch and more to come. The rest is upon professors in business schools to figure out.
Our gov said that about half of the people that were told to self quarantine after returning from Italy just went shopping outside. (determined by credit card usage data)

Card sharing may account for low percentage of that perhaps.

So I'd trust about 50% of people, perhaps. I guess this number rises, as the effects of the crisis are getting more severe and immediate.
Try pressing 'G' to turn on gravity.
I don't think there is a way to stop this virus from infecting "everyone". The important thing about self isolation and social distancing is that it reduces the speed of spreading so hospitals are not overloaded.

* "everyone" being a large enough population in the world where heard immunity is achieved, probably something around 90%
