Plenty of annoyances - landlord teaming up together, article of associations written by a company that we learned later one of the landlord is director of, ...

One instance in particular - we don't have a parking space but we have a cellar at the same level than 1 of the parking floor. Because there is no lock on the door that leads to the parking, the landlords with parking decided that it means we need to pay the charges for the parking and parking elevator (for which we don't have the keys). Obviously they declined the request to put a lock on the door. They can do it because they are the majority and the way the article of association were written. We could contest legally of course, or team up with other landlord to build a majority that would lead to the charges being split between all landlord regardless if they have a parking or not.

We are talking about 20 flats here, and frankly we would like to avoid the political drama.

Edit: Some info about the UK process. Here after we made the offer (not legally binding in the UK), we had the solicitor review the leasehold contract for such problems. There is always a freeholder that is responsible for crafting the leasehold unlike in Spain when the association of landlord is formed after ( for new build anyway ) and anyway, a side effect of the legally binding offer is that you are psychologically driven to minimise the impact of a solicitor report ( btw, the notary in Spain that deal with property purchase is there a lot more to validate the transaction rather than defending your interests, so they don't really highlight those kind of things as clearly as UK solicitor - of course there are good ones and bad ones YMMV)
I worked on a system for the U.S. Navy back in the early 80s that used lower frequencies than that. The transmission rate was several characters a minute, encrypted, to be received by Submarines.

One interesting thing about this was that were were able to be the first people to use "Software Defined Radio" because the frequencies were low enough to deal with on a 20 MHz CPU. We used the Fairchild 9440/9445, which was a Nova4 on a chip. 20MHz CPU was insane at this time. There was also special custom hardware on the front end digitizing things.

I can't really tell you much more about the system ;-) but it was one of the most interesting projects I've ever worked on.

Plenty of economists work as traders, in banks, and have money and success to show for it. But they're not making economic policy, nor creating theories in academic settings. They're just using complex models to predict things, they have no interest in creating policies. In general, the economists who are successful are mostly ignored.

An example of an economist who is successful would be Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sach's head economist.
Ok, so you're thinking about a random variable which converges to some value when the null hypothesis is true. This is fine, but it has nothing to do whatsoever with p-values.

Let me say that your notation is not very appropriate. It makes no sense to say that P(X|H) converges to 1. If you expect X to converge to C if the null hypothesis is true, you can simply say X->C. A proper notation involving probabilities would be P(|X-C|>epsilon)->0 for any positive epsilon (convergence in probability) or maybe P(X->C)=1 (convergence almost surely).

Taking as you suggest X=(#tails/#heads), you expect that X->1 if the coin is fair (I'm not sure why you find this is not a well-defined null hypothesis, but I don't really care). However, P(X)<1 for every X. In fact, P(X=1)->0 as the number if trials increases (X will get closer to 1 on average, but getting exactly 1 will get more and more unlikely).

As I said, you're free to prefer your converging statistics and your well-defined null hypothesis. But you should be aware that people are talking about something completely different when discussing things like the 1e-7 p-value in the Higgs boson discovery or the reproducibility of statistically significant results.

EDIT: Another example, maybe better-defined: a random variable distributed (under the null hypothesis) x~Normal(mu=0,sigma=1). Let's say you take N samples (I let you choose the number, so I don't pick one which is not good enough).The statistic is the mean X=(x_1+x_2+..+x_N)/N. If the null hypothesis is true, X->mu=0. You get X=1/sqrt(N). What's your "p-value" in that case?

hard to add anything:

"TROSA’s CEO, Kevin McDonald, is imposing beyond his height but maintains a folksy and reassuring demeanor. He’s a military brat, he tells me. His difficult home life bloomed into an early dependence on alcohol, and then, later, heroin. McDonald was facing a 20-year prison sentence for armed robbery when a state supreme court let him begin a lengthy stay at Delancey Street, a San Francisco therapeutic community.

"So I go there, and it’s a two-year program," he says. "I started going forward, learning how to communicate a little better, eventually realizing I didn’t have to use my fists and I hated violence. Learning to care about people, letting people care about me, learning job skills, et cetera. So I stayed 12 years."

>First, revenues from software made by Indian companies is taxed while export revenues are tax-exempt. In other words, an Indian company has no incentive to do local business.

Uh, yeah. Sure. All the people doing exactly that don't exist. They have no incentive !!

>By then, India may have learned to practice true economic reform, taking a lesson from their neighbors in China.

Why would anyone want to take a lesson from China? - Which BTW continues to forcibly exert control over the lives of her people (including businesses).

>Maybe then they will understand that a free-market economy isn't necessarily a new form of colonialism.

Wow. Dude, India has been trading and doing business with East Africa, the Middle East, all of south Asia including China since like 6 AD. We 'understand' how to trade just fine.

That's like saying that, by letting the bank hold your money, you're implicitly giving bank robbers the access to the money, by virtue of imperfect security.

And since your own house's security is also imperfect, you are also giving everyone access to your house and properties.

To your first point: Yes, I'm not hosting any refugees or giving more money than I would be giving with my taxes. (But I'm currently going to school and do not earn any money, so that is not really a question to consider) But I personally think that hosting refugees is the responsibility of the state. (A climate of acceptance - in contrast to that - is important and as we have refugees in our school, this is a responsibility I take as well.)
To your second point: I have never heard of such censoring but would be interested in it, if it exists.
What happened to Web Components
Wait, what's the CPU frequency on Scaleway?

I just created a test instance with them and ran an open source project of mine. It runs just as fast as anywhere else, but compiling it takes 5 times as long. Investigating further to see if it's just something about my (weird) project.

Edit: ah pella posted a comment at the same time as me with details on just how slow the ARM CPU is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10161307. The benchmarks linked there are 15x slower on single-threaded workloads.
This looks like it's basically a text-based menu system for picking files. Still much lighter weight than a full GUI, but much easier typing. That's kinda cool.

> because tech is a small town and I shouldn’t burn any bridges

to anyone out there listening - it's not. technology is a huge, huge, huge, huge established industry. think about it - what does "tech" even mean? it's an umbrella term for 4 or 5 classifications that all kind of bleed into each other - including finance. in addition, every non-tech company has a shitload of tech in it. gee whiz. it's almost as if technology is critical to the functioning of the modern business enterprise!

this is fear-based thinking at its worst. this is the kind of silly thing scared, gutless engineers say to each other by the watercooler while the business guys laugh out loud and backslap each other in the proverbial smoke-filled room.

the most powerful thing you can do in technology (and all business, really) is not give a fuck what the other guy thinks (the "guy" being your negotiating counter-party). stick to your guns or just take the money and run. if you waffle, you're sunk by your own torpedo.
Full agree on the non-compete. However, the search of personal devices after you've conducted business seems legitimate to me.

If they need to investigate the evidence to understand the exposure/whatever in the event a situation arises where you used your personal device, they obviously need access. They are simply trying to neutralize the excuse that "its your personal device and you have no authority to search it", by getting your consent ahead of time. I do agree, they are often extremely vague, but I'm not sure it's reasonable for them to spell out every possible use case where it should or should not apply.

Simply don't use personal equipment when acting on behalf of the business (everyone should be happy there), OR get an exception written up by your own legal and get their sign off on the situations which you object to (they might not be so flexible). I don't think there is malice in the intent there though.
That's why I freakin' love Slackware. The ability to repair stuff by hand, or even to get libc6 binaries running on a libc5 system (by putting the appropriate .sos in /lib), was a godsend during my early Linuxing, and completely unthinkable under Windows. It's very nearly unthinkable under Ubuntu or Fedora, but Slackware just keeps chugging the best it can no matter what shape you bash it into.
The author speaks of passion a few times. I think that's the key here; he forced himself to feel passionate about the end goal when in reality he didn't care. You can't do that. If you're not passionate, faking it will kill you.

There is a middle ground between signing and not signing here: set boundaries up front. Let them know "Hey, I'll sign this and help with the integration, but just know my heart won't be in it. I don't know that I can promise you more than a solid 45 hours a week. But I can't deliver that passion I had building the product because I'm really not passionate about this."

And yeah, those employment contracts are bullshit. Before you sign a contract, you are under no obligation to do anything. A good tactic is to just redline anything you want thrown out and send it back to the lawyers without comment. Also realize that many companies throw these bullshit clauses in just so they can negotiate them away later (as opposed to having to offer you more money).

If it's important enough to the founders, they will find the money to make it worth your while. An extra hundred grand out of a big payday to ensure a critical employee is present to handle the sale is just a cost of doing business. Unless you would go out for drinks with someone after you stop working with them, it's not going to hurt your relationship (they may even respect you more for it).
The impact is more than warehouse conditions.

Thanks for your interest. We have customers paying, and the graph visualization is just one part of what we offer. The main thing we provide are lists of leads.

As to getting to leads... tens of thousands of companies and partnerships in any market segment add up to pretty good recommendations. Most of network analysis uses unweighted edges, so there are lots of methods to use. Having weights for partnerships would be cool but isn't necessary. They can be inferred.

What's exactly the case here? The Feds won't grab anyone who's PMing some one on Facebook "I'll call you" or "Lets talk on the phone".

This is a very specific case where Traders (that either were under suspicion directly or indirectly through suspicious dealing on an investment firm) were intentionally communicating with each other using office provided communications and constantly asking to go offline or to talk through other means.

This is nothing more than any other pattern one would find out through exploring any other media, for example one of the ways LEO's find illegal activity usually drug related is when by identifying numbers that only receive or make very short calls, this activity is then usually correlated with creating social networks of the phone numbers and what in many cases you get is a binary relationship with phones being used only to receive or make calls.

While this might sound suspicious to you, or just interesting after investigating how those criminal networks work through actual investigations criminologists identified this pattern as direct correlation to illegal activity which can be used as supporting evidence to get a wiretap or a search warrant.

There are a metric ton of various behavior patterns that might be suspicious and are usually related to some sort of a "illicit" activity if you are looking at some one who's leaking information and you have a GPS location on your suspects then some one who's driving every 3rd week out to the middle of no where might be your prime suspect, now he can be stargazing, he can be cheating on his wife, or he can be meeting with a contact or making a dead drop.
I thought about that, but frankly, I don't want to get sued. And the founder certainly remembers the candidate who told him "lawyers work for the company, not the other way around, so stop your bullshit".
You are correct that you maybe can combine that with dedicated servers from online.net, but managing that might be a headache. Scaleway presents itself as a cloud service after all, where easy/automated management, quick scaling, rapid deployment etc is an important part of the equation.

Good point that they seem to be missing multiple availability zones.

Constitutionally, privacy is a pretty cut-and-dry concept. Information is either private or not. Private information isn't "information I don't want the government to have" it's "information I don't want anyone else to have."

I'm not saying we couldn't restructure the law to express what you're talking about. But it's not just a matter of extending our existing principles to this new situation. You're throwing the concept of "privacy" on its head by saying that you have this information that's "private" but that at the same time some third-party entity (and its employees) actively sifts through to target advertising to you.
If they want access to my personal equipment, they can get a subpoena. No way does any company get to examine my personal stuff without due process.
You claim any language that can represent its AST using that language's literal datatypes is homoiconic?! No. I can represent an AST in array literals in essentially any language, and quite a few using object/hash notation. That alone does not make a language homoiconic. See, for example, the lengthy thread here: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HomoiconicExampleInJava
That's a bit further down the line, but for now it's adequate to have end-users buy CPUs produced in a centralized manner, as long as they are able to control what those CPUs do by running free software on them.
This isn't "privacy" this is a pattern if a trader communicated with 50 other traders but only asks 2 others to go offline every time they talk and they do the same that's an artifact that anyone with half a brain would think is worth looking into while investigating financial misconduct.
> Does this actually happen, I don't know, but I believe from personal experience and reading forums that there is a phenomenon of hitting a weight plateau that is not explained by the simplistic calories in, calories out theory.

It doesn't. People are bad at self-reporting their intake. Reading forums isn't a good source of information.

Even if there was some kind of ultra-efficiency mode, it's worth noting that it doesn't mean calories in/calories out is wrong. It doesn't disprove the law of conservation of energy, I don't see why you think these two concept are opposed to one another.

The reality is that there is no special starvation mode or metabolic damage that makes people ultra-efficient food processing machines. The research doesn't support it and a bunch of forum posts of people self-reporting their intake (badly) or outright falsifying information (but everything on the internet is true!) isn't backing up your case.

Yes, I did read the article. You make a valid point. The context is important. My point was that they are suggesting that these phrases are indicators of guilt. It doesn't take much of a stretch of the imagination to see how this can be applied across all communications channels, and used as indicators of intent, such that they are eventually used prior to having a warrant and, indeed, used as sufficient "evidence" to secure a warrant.

These types of things help establish precedents. Once their utility is demonstrated, and tools developed to make the technique more effective, they will begin to be deployed elsewhere.

> The sad thing about the metrics-driven performance culture the Times describes at Amazon is studies show overworked people perform worse.

I'm glad the author made this point and backed it up with a reference. It reaffirms something I already believed (whether on the basis of personal experience, something I'd read before, or mere wishful thinking, I couldn't tell you so the reference helps). It is a sensible constraint that came to mind in reading all the tech workplace horror stories that the Times's Amazon piece inspired.

While reading that Times article I checked out the link to their 14 sacred principles. The funny thing was that I agreed with most of them. They were all ideas that occurred to me over the course of my career working independently, with small companies, and especially now in corp.

The one thing that was missing, I felt, was a Rule #15: Never work more than 8 hours a day.

Without it, it's no surprise you end up burnt out or living in the sort of dystopian workplace documented in the Times' Amazon article.

But then I suppose, as has been pointed before, long work hours are more about cultural signaling and penny-wise-pound-foolish accounting than really improving productivity.
