It's at least an interesting idea. Here's why; apes are ridiculously stronger than humans. A lot of that has to do with muscle attachment. Ape muscles are attached further from the joint, increasing leverage. Human muscles are attached closer to the joint. That makes us weaker- but it also gives us much better dexterity than apes of similar size.

Same system, different trade-offs.

So there's precedent, after a fashion.

We’re looking to expand our Android portfolio and are willing to give a discounted rate to anyone who would like to build an Android app natively or port an iOS app to Android natively.

We’re a group of Berkeley and UCLA Engineering Alums and previously worked with major tech companies like Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, etc.

We are experts on iOS. We’ve been developing on iOS since 2008 and have developed complex iOS apps that range from high performance audio processing apps, games, magazine readers, ride-sharing, notation writing, etc.

We are highly motivated, self-organized, love to learn, and are excellent at solving the unknown.

Hit us up at aeonmusk(at)gmail(dot)com for details and portfolio.
Thanks, I didn't think about it too hard.
This is a classic example of post-hoc analysis. It like American presidents who are always there to claim credit for any minor economic or job growth but quick to blame the job loss and any other negative effect on economy on "someone else who is evil".

So California had water shortage and they decided to use the resource wisely? Everyone except federal government knows that you can spend the resource you dont have.

I would like to know why California as a state and other cities have not invested in increasing number of reservoirs, not allowed desalination and other things despite the population of California has doubled in last 30 years. Part of this is the bone headed environmentalists who would rather save few trouts than saving human beings but I think the the local bodies arent putting up a fight either.

> We attribute intelligence to humans, most of which are barely able to parrot what they hear from each other.

You heard a human recently?!? All I've been getting for the past couple of years are incoherent emails and text messages with all sorts of weird smiley faces.

Every time I go out I see lots of humans but they're all staring at these strange devices that you used to be able to talk into.
OpenRC isn't an init daemon. It's only a process management framework, hence the name. It's usually used in conjunction with sysvinit as PID1. OpenRC was originally motivated by replacing the older baselayout scripts, from what I recall.

Upstart didn't come about until later from many of the alternatives I listed, and its origins were mostly in response to launchd. It was quite rudimentary initially. [1]

Cord cutting tip: How to watch American Netflix (and more)
Nice work. I've built roughly half of this before, but your API is cleaner and the docs really tie it together.
Residents are being offered between $12,000 and $30,000 for the appraised value of their homes and they don't want to move. I don't think $20,000 in cash would change their minds since the question for these families is pretty existential.
At first I thought I could just try to pull in geo-tagged feeds from Instagram, Twitter, and other sources. The trouble is, most of that content is not actually about the location. Someone might say, "I love lasagna!" and it's geotagged nearby. Unfortunately, I found there's simply too much noise for that approach to work.

Edit: The answer to your first question is, yes, that's exactly what it's for!: to see news within a certain radius of where you are.
Not if you access to the supply chain for the construction of the computer.
My first thought was, what about the "C" locale so good to see that question already answered.

I really wish there was some sort of standard "U" locale that would be the same as "C" but UTF-8, and ISO rather than US format dates.
> What do you mean "incredibly unique?"

I mean that no other species has the ability to do the same.

> And what is the value in expressing the same thing in so many different ways? I don't see how you can argue that saying the same things over and over is intelligent.

Saying the same thing over and over again is not "intelligent." But being able to produce an infinite set of linguistic expressions which express the same idea is atomically indicative of a higher order of linguistic creativity than anything any other species is capable of. I'd say that qualifies as intelligence.

> They are really not very different from us in terms of linguistic abilities. Our linguistic abilities are mostly a matter of socialization of history.

I'm going to have to disagree in a major way with this. Humans have an innate, generative grammar that allows for a completely different system of communication and thought than that of animals. Animals, at best, may have something like words. But they do not have grammar. That's huge.

> Feral humans won't be much smarter than an ape.
Difficult to judge which would be "smarter." Secondly, not sure what argument you're making. You're saying that our linguistic abilities are not very different than apes, because they are socializations. But you also claim that humans without language are roughly as intelligent as apes. So, if language does not correspond to intelligence, does that imply that feral humans are just as intelligent as normal humans?

Feral humans lack language because the brief period of time in which the human brain greatly expands its linguistic learning capabilities (infancy and young toddler-hood) is spent in isolation -- critical linguistic facets of the brain are never exercised. That period of development does not come back. Their brains are simply underdeveloped, in a fundamental way. I'd say that qualifies as less intelligent.

I'd recommend picking up "The Language Instinct" by Steven Pinker.

Growth Hacking in the Real World: The Magic Behind Sushirritto
first, i think it looks good. the following are a bit nitpicky.

you should focus more on your work, and tell the story behind what occurred on each project.

put yourselves in the shoes of a potential client: they probably want to know how the process works, etc.

remember, you want people to buy your services, so show what those services are front and center. big pictures. don't hide the detail behind the click (in the modal). put it out there. make it the star of the show.

i'd alter the tone to say "what can i do for you?" rather than "what can you do for me?" i think the former is a more common style.

i'd drop the bit about the deposit. it's not really useful - 40% of what exactly? if it won't make or break the customer choosing your services, don't bring it up so early. if anything it might be better to express the price class of your service (in general ranges), but leave everything else up for debate once the person contacts you.

the top nav menu doesn't do much on a site this small; perhaps that space could be used for dramatic effect rather than this utilitarian role.

i think that's about it. good luck in your venture!
Language like "deserve" is what I'm criticizing. Fighting a traffic ticket isn't a moral failure.
I see Go as more of a java replacement than as a C replacement (inasmuch as there are lots of tools that can be written in both C and java, it is a C replacement though). Rust is obviously going after C++.

It's a tragedy of the commons until you charge market prices for water.

Privatization, regulation, collectivization, adaptive fees / "market pricing" - these are solutions proposed to situations which resemble the tragedy of the commons, in order that we can avoid the worst case scenario associated with continued individually-incentivized over-exploitation.

The term refers to situations where these incentives operating on a common good line up in a way which is potentially self-destructive to the system - not strictly to situations where they've already destroyed the system.
Different habitats lead to different selective pressures.

If the last common ancestor of apes and humans was 4 million years ago, why haven't apes lost all their body hair and developed the ability to run on hind legs?

Because they don't live on the open Savannah, of course.

Speech & advanced tool making is more complicated, but we can surmise similar ideas apply.

For example, maybe human pack endurance hunting in the Savannah increased the value of social structure and sophisticated communication.

FWIW, apes do use simple tools.
>Rick Santorum has accused universities of "indoctrination" and "killing religion".

The universities are heavily in the business of indoctrination. That's why millennials are so much more pro gay marriage and anti free speech than their elders. The "killing religion" part is overblown.

>James Inhofe has written a book about how climate science is supposedly a hoax.

Much of it is. There is evidence to suggest the earth is warming, but anyone who tells you he can predict the global surface temperature in 20 years is selling you something. I don't know where people got the idea wild statements based entirely on demonstrably wrong models are Teh Science.

>Chris Christie said that a national teachers union deserves a “punch in the face”.

It does. Note there's a huge difference between teachers and the AFT. In most places you don't don't get to decide whether or not part of your paycheck goes to the union, so it's a bit disingenuous to characterize that as an attack on teachers. I don't know how we reached the point where to work as a teacher I would have to pay money to a third party that's going to support political candidates and educational policy I oppose.

I'd also point out regardless of what they say or don't say governors of both parties across the country are looking ofr ways to curtail the power of public employee unions.
Usual Debian Server Setup
That's a good point. It's really going to be a game of averages. Most small websites that I build (for restaurants, bands, conversion pages, etc) get a negligible amount of traffic. But every now and then there will be a site that sees 100x that traffic.
The approach generally taken by Oxford and similar is that a scripting language like Python or Lua is simple enough (or at least the bits of it needed for the course are) that anyone taking the course can pick it up with no specific learning necessary.
Take a look at http://webhook.com as they have a similar offering that may give some inspiration.
Or neither. You probably shouldn't make allegations like that without having some kind of evidence.
Runit is the default system daemon for Phusion's baseimage-docker Ubuntu image[0]. I've used it in a basic manner and have been very happy with it.

That only makes sense if you conceive of language as primarily an instrument of communication rather than of thought; that is, language is merely communication turned up to eleven. What inclines you to believe that's the case? That isn't to say that a "mechanism" for symbolic thought needs to resemble human language in any particular way, at least as far as serialization goes.
Yup. For one they aren't delinquent on rent. But also the rules literally are different, there are city and state ordinances governing this trailer park. Residents are entitled to the appraised value of their homes, the city had to approve its closure, etc.

Thanks for the feedback!

usually the ads that you are normally shown are done by big news sites
(example: https://hbr.org/2014/12/the-art-of-aggressive-social-sharing)

however when you use our software the people that are sharing the news articles or blogs can ad their own ad to get more value from sharing news/content to their audience on social.

When you say "it would be hard to read all the content and figure out what is going on in ~20s" are you referring to someone having to process to much info like the text at the top of the loading bar plus the advertisement that is being shown (like this donation page: http://lnkplg.co/RGPp )?

Maybe a solution would be to try and shorten the text describing the article that the user is proceeding to?
Neat, but Weebly is effectively the same thing. For free.

Of course they do, but if you're not getting interviews as a fresh CS PhD from a top (or even non top) school, it's something else.

This is awesome. It might be just what I was looking for. However their site's animation is too abrupt and distracting. They need to reduce the frequency of changes a bit.

The is exactly why I hate the term lifestyle business - it make it sound like you are running a beach bar on some tropical island.

With technological change the need for VC money is much less than the past. With a relatively small amount of money these days you can start and build a very serious tech business (assuming you have the skill and drive) all on your own. I am not running a lifestyle business - I am running a business 100% focused on hitting my end value target and providing my customers with the best product possible.
Brains are metabolically costly, if it were frivolous is probably wouldn't happen.

I'd wager it's more like keeping an engine idling because it's less expensive/dangerous than turning it all the way off and restarting it.
Thanks, it's been a lot of work getting here.

Yeah, expand on the information a little bit. I was trying to strike a balance between too much & too little information.

Do you have any suggestions on how to expand the portfolio like that (no modals), without cluttering the page?

Okay, easy peasy!

That was my attempt at trying to describe the process. I failed terribly! I'm going to have a little think about a better way to describe the process (and more of it) in a concise & clear way.

Any dramatic effect suggestions?

Thanks a lot!
There's no geometric complement in my mind. At times it's useful to think of "wholeness" base 10, so 4 and 6 fit together, and when adding numbers, I sometimes find the nearest multiple of 10 and then go lower from there. I don't picture numbers in the abstract (e.g. 178); when they refer to something else (e.g. 2 coins), they're a description or a property.
In the late 80s-early 90s there was a movement attempting to prove the communication abilities of those with severe communication disabilities. Very sad story—turned out it was only the facilitator's subconcious manipulation of the communicator's hands that produced the messages.

CA farmers are increasing nut trees acreage because nut trees require a lot of water, and thus nut prices are going up in the current drought

It simply isn't possible for things to happen the way you describe them.

Prices are a function of supply and demand. When you say "nut trees require a lot of water, and thus nut prices are going up in the current drought" this implies that supply of nuts went down during the drought. Otherwise, consumers would have no reason to care about the amount of water required to produce nuts.

Given this, "CA farmers are increasing nut trees acreage" must be an incomplete picture. Even if some farmers are increasing acreage, there must be others who are decreasing by even more, otherwise prices would be going down, not up.
Your priorities do not align with the company’s
Because it isn't.
First, the reason is because this whistle blowing was /necessary/ due to a /lack of oversight/ and to a lack of eventual release for that oversight to the public.

Second, we don't know the number of potential documents, nor how they may have been divided among those to whom they were disseminated.

Addressing the first point, it should take work and review, on an ongoing basis, to re-affirm the classification of that material. By default there should be a /reasonable/ and /short/ expiration time. If it costs too much to keep those secrets than that in and of it's self is a reason for not HAVING so many secrets to keep!

The cost, otherwise, is to our freedoms; to the very liberty for which our government is supposed to be protecting.
yeah I see how that can be a major issue, since rarely do people use the goe tag feature on social...

maybe an easy way to designate if their post,tweet or share should also be share on seearound by denoting a #seeme?

Idk just an idea
No, because defined this way, the absolute precision to which distance can be defined is ~10^-11 meters. So 1 meter is known within +/- (10^-11) meters. If you convert (10^-11) meters to nanometers that's 10^-2 nanometers, which is 1% of a nanometer.

You don't divide the uncertainty when you scale it because the error is in the actual definition of distance itself. The uncertainty in for example 1 meter is the same as the uncertainty in 1 nanometer (=10^-11 meters), which is a correspondingly much larger fraction. It's kind of weird and perhaps counter-intuitive, but that's how it works.

Phrased differently, the idea of a meter is exact and it's our ability to measure distance that is uncertain. The error isn't in saying "a meter is some specific fraction of the distance light travels in a second", it's in determining what physical distance in the world is represented by our definition of the meter.

In the repeated game of life, you can end up ahead if, by forswearing extreme cruelty toward others even when it's locally "efficient", you significantly reduce the probability of others behaving so cruelly toward you. This is a major reason civilization exists at all.

It is not unreasonable to believe that someone who is used to being exceptionally cruel to animals, when it is not terribly expensive to avoid that cruelty, will on average be more willing than usual to be cruel towards other humans. "Avoid hurting beings that can experience pain" is arguably a more compelling Schelling point to organize 21st century civilization around than "avoid hurting other humans, but do whatever the hell you want to other species". I disagree with Wiblin about this being a "no-brainer", but I mostly agree with his final judgment of the desirability of phasing out this type of factory farming.

The plants dying point is somewhat irrelevant in this context as 80,000 Hours's philosophy stems from Peter Singer's brand of utilitarian ethics that interpret suffering as it relates to experience, or consciousness.

Yes. Pointers are only a problem if you do things with them that confuses the compiler.

As someone who writes C code that needs maximum performance (my problem is cpu bound) the two biggest performance gains were moving to icc (Intel’s compiler) and writing my own thread-safe memory pool allocator to avoid malloc.
$5M gross is kinda low for 50(ish) employees. That works out to $100k apiece fully-loaded (healthcare, taxes, etc). He would need to be paying them each substantially less than $60k a year.... and that's ignoring all his other costs: materials (it's a physical good), inventory, taxes (property, sales, income), and service fees (attorney, accountant, etc). Only then do you get to his net income. It's likely not very good. Perhaps that's causing all the stress?!

Maybe not a fair comparison.... but look at Google, which does $50B in revenues with 50,000 employees -- i.e. $1M in revenue (in a high-margin, software-centric business) per employee.
Not being pedantic. I realize English isn't everyone's first language. And then there's auto-completion on devices like iPad's that can result in embarrassing errors.

People always say this about physical tech, but the difference is ease and scalability. Slashing all the car tires in a block is harder and more traceable than sending out a small RF signal.
