"Sales" is very broad.

My favorite book about the act of selling (i.e. pitching) is "Pitch Anything" - http://www.amazon.com/Pitch-Anything-Innovative-Presenting-P...

If you're looking for an overall sales primer/bible, your best bet is probably The Sales Acceleration Formula http://www.amazon.com/Sales-Acceleration-Formula-Technology-...
I'm all in the Apple ecosystem. But:

- No VPN

- No default game controller (so you never know whether games support it or not)

No thanks for me and my requirements.

My happiness lies in going to webpages that don't block all the content with a "subscribe to my page" ad. Why do people keep supporting these sites?
I'm just saying I'd like to see how it goes long-term. Particularly in terms of TCO. Google, AFAIK, doesn't have any vendors making Toughbook-style Chrome OS machines yet.
On the other hand, many of us don't really care about 4K -- there's no benefit unless you sit somewhere less than about 6 feet away (which is not normal for most homes). Most people will not notice a difference between 4k and 1080p in normal viewing conditions.
As far as i can tell all of asia hates each other

My traffic in philippines would actually go out of the country and back in, occasionally via los angeles (like 500ms+) because the incumbent monopoly telco refuses to peer with any other isp, so if you don't use them your traffic is intentionally screwed [there is an IX there for small ISPs, the 99% market share one just doesn't peer there]

Aside from singapore, every other country has something approaching this level of fucked-ness - HK to CN traffic often goes via LA/seattle, TW to CN traffic often goes via LA/seattle, all of china telecom's peering links are oversubscribed to death anyway and fall over during peak hours, a lot of the SEA traffic i've seen traverses singapore or worse, even if it's entirely domestic bound
This seems like a straw man, but maybe this really is how some utilitarians think. My view is: if the cost in terms of trust lost is greater than the expected benefit of an action, then the utilitarian answer is not to do it. If the only way to prevent a "race to zero trust" is to make some bright line rules and enforce them universally, then that's the utilitarian answer. It's literally impossible for another ethical system to reliably provide greater total utility than utilitarianism, because utilitarianism is the rule that you do whatever leads to the greatest utility.

This is the biggest issue, to me.

I've heard some fantastic claims about meditation, but it seems to require a lot of work (and even then doesn't 'work' for everyone)-- also, it's never going to be exactly like the experience of ecstasy, shrooms, LSD, various herbs, etcetera.

Each of the more mind-altering substances has a unique way of interacting with the brain, and I wouldn't trade my experiences with them for anything. They're one of the greatest things I value in life, honestly, as I'm not entirely sure I understood what being fully alive even really meant until after they crossed my path.
io.js merged back in to node.js, and since they were so far ahead in version number, node jumped to 4.0 from 0.12.x.

https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v4.0.0/
The large version bump is because the Node and io projects have been reintegrating and they needed something that wouldn't be misleading for people coming from either background.
Contract to perm is the best way by far.

In the UK the contract rates are typically significantly higher, so even if the person isn't offered a job at the end they aren't bothered. Everyone wins
Those numbers seem very low to me, I feel like something doesn't add up. Indeed, 1 GBits FTTx offers from FAI are getting more and more widespread, so that would mean that the peak traffic is around only 4000 simultaneous users?
I'm not going to update my comment because it would look like I made the premature birth analogy due to the author's gender, which I literally had incorrectly assumed was male (so my comment and choice of analogy was absolutely not due to the author's gender).

Sorry about the mistake/assumption. You asked why I made the mistake - no particular reason. (Though anecdotally I've heard males talk about these kinds of actions, while women business owners I know don't, in fact are principled about not buying fake reviews, likes, or twitter followers. The first paragraph also says "You might have seen a review on Yelp that said it’s perfect for a girl’s night out" which I read as a male stating it. Anyway I shouldn't have made the assumption.)
The async story on windows is better, but not great. In many cases the async calls on windows silently block due to a number of special cases (that are not so special).

Most of the mafiosi movies are praised. Which lead me to think that people secretly loved the idea behind the mafia.

Many films about natural disasters have also been praised. Enjoying the film does not mean one loves the characters in it.

These are great books for starting off with the why and how of sales:

Daniel Pink - To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others http://www.amazon.com/Sell-Human-Surprising-Moving-Others/dp...

Dale Carnegie - How to Win Friends & Influence People http://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/06...

As you understand the macro details of sales, the more micro things (tactics, strategies, best practices) are probably best served by specific industry or specific aspects of sales. For example:

The one piece of advice I was given years ago:

There is no such thing as "sales", and you aren't a "salesman". You provide a solution to a problem. Listen, understand, and then offer a solution.

I forgot who told me that but it's fantastic advice. As far as understanding people, the de facto book to read is "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. I'd highly recommend that.
Keep in mind, this is the Gaming Bundle. It does not come with the standard remote, just the game controller.

They also sell the Fire TV, with the normal voice remote for $99.

Good point. Anything with low repeat buying is going to run into these problems. That's why verified reviews are so critical in these verticals.

> [...] The most important thing is having a Schelling point, and ten percent is nice, round, divinely ordained [that's a tithing joke], and – crucially – the Schelling point upon which we have already settled. [...]

> It’s ten percent because definitions were made for Man, not Man for definitions, and if we define “good person” in a way such that everyone is sitting around miserable because they can’t reach an unobtainable standard, we are stupid definition-makers. If we are smart definition-makers, we will define it in precisely that way which makes it the most effective tool to convince people to give at least that much.

I see the "how [some of them] can be used [in numpy]" part there, it looks pretty good for that purpose.

However, it really isn't much of an introduction to what wavelets are, or what they might be good for in general and why.
Also if the company ends up being a bad fit, then it looks less bad on the person's CV than if they join as a perm and then leave after a few months.
Thanks for the suggestion, it looks very interesting. And, obviously, thanks for all the work on uBlock Origin, interneting got much less annoying after installing it in every machine I get my hands on. Thanks!
Using a code words etc still leaves you vulnerable to analysis. MI5 here are asking for the ability to request records of individuals or individuals that match certain narrowly defined criteria. So at this point they would have a low level suspicion of you, something they can use to drive analysis. The only reasonable protection at the point of already being in the cross hairs is to use mathematically secure communications.
Load in uBlock, and if you use it, Lastpass.

I browsed The Verge site just fine. (The images took a little longer to load than I expected, but I checked and same happens on the desktop. So it's a shitty ISP/CDN/Optimization problem rather than a browser one.)
considering that a 55" 4K television is the same price as an iPhone 6+, it would make sense for content providers to create financing bundles in the same way mobile carriers do...
Good point, I didn't think of this... I looked and it does indeed invite users to rate it in at the top of its options page. So as far as I am concerned this explains the difference.

I could probably quantify how much this works by adding the same sort of invitation to rate but this would go counter to the spirit of the project, so I will pass on the experimentation.

As a leader who is supposed to be about bringing people together and not being divisive, he had an opportunity here. Fine to complement the kid. But he could also have thrown in a "in this time we know school administrators have to be vigilant, they have a tough job, we're all in this together, whatever". Something like that. But his tweet indirectly says this kid is great and the school admins are the bad guys. I just wish for once he could do something to calm a situation instead of throwing gasoline on a fire.
The standard voice remote is included in the gaming bundle.
My guess is that most celebrity endorsements happen after at least some examination of the product. After all, celebrities have brands to protect too. And I imagine their endorsements are carefully worded; it's only false advertising when somebody says something that isn't true.

Of course, as you demonstrate here, there's at least some public understanding that celebrity endorsements aren't actually reviews, so a good lawyer would argue that since you don't expect celebrity endorsements to be factually true, they couldn't possibly be false advertising.
How is an assembly code generator different than a compiler?
I do it a lot for Stylebot but only a really small minority of websites deserve that waste of time. It's a good tip, one I tell everyone I know about, most sites I read on a daily basis are highly tweaked by the Inspect Element tool plus Stylebot.
It's still widely used in academia (though I'm extremely glad IPython/Jupyter is being praised by Nature[1]), and it has a lot of "toolboxes" with a reasonable integration between them.

Once you step outside it, you need one library for the machine learning part of your project, another one for the computer vision aspects, yet another one for the reading of different data files. When you get to the 20th library you'd need, plus all the classes and wrappers you have to write on your own to achieve the same result, you start looking MATLAB under a softer light. That's even more for those who are no programming-inclined.

Depends on the individual's preferences and life situation. I was offered a contract-to-hire position earlier this year, and turned it down because the contract term happened to coincide with the expected birthdate of our third child. Even though I was confident that I would succeed in the position, I didn't want to deal with any uncertainty around that date. Also, in the United States, health insurance is usually tied with employment; while the ACA (Obamacare) has made it significantly better with the introduction of the exchanges, it's still a hassle to switch insurance providers, especially around a major life event such as the birth of a child.

In my particular case, the company I did opt for ended up being a bust, to the point that I resigned without having another offer in place. It ended up working well—I'm in a job now with tons of job security, good pay, a good work environment, and interesting work—but I ended up in the exact situation I was hoping to avoid when I rejected the CtH position.
They actually have made pretty big inroads into signal processing and functional analysis more generally, they just aren't a shiny new thing anymore.

They are quite interesting mathematical objects. I think their study was hindered somewhat for a while by functional analysts thinking they were too applied and engineers thinking they were too abstract.
That last remark isn’t quite right — the app store requires that all games are playable with that new touchpad apple remote.
I believe that Apple also requires tvOS games to be operable with the remote in order to be published. In other words, one can't make a tvOS game that requires an actual game controller to play. Most likely this will severely hinder the platform in terms of gaming support because that remote is way too simple to support games of any real complexity.

Something that occurs to me: there must have been zero adults around with any kind of common sense, or they were almost criminally negligent in not speaking out about his treatment at the time.

I mean, jesus. A suspicious device? If it were a bomb for example, it would need to have some part of it that could explode.... and there was no explosive material. So it's just a hand made electronic device. If you inspect it for more than 60 seconds, you can see there's no risk involved with it. So the decision to arrest him has nothing to do with safety at all.

The real reason he was arrested is he's a kid who is smarter than all the adults and he's doing something they can't understand.

The issues with explaining QM today seems to be that the math and experimental parts are all as tested and proven as they possible can be just as much as classical physics. Whats putting sand in the machine is that it just doesn't make sense philosophically.

So if you will allow a complete novice some wild speculation here to provide a different perspective.

Maybe they are just two different fields with a different base premise and maybe thats ok.

Perhaps what is really shown here, is the limits of western thought process.

I have always wondered if zen buddhisms way to deal with reality, is much better capable at explaining whats going on because it's comfortable dealing with paradoxes ("If it's not paradoxical it's not true" as Zen Master Suzuki Roshi wrote).

I am not a zen buddhist and there is a big risk that I as a westerner don't understand zen buddhism (I know i don't understand QM) but it seems to me that western semantics and rhetorics are actually getting in the way of providing us with a way to be at ease with what seems to be a fact; that we can't explain QM through language.

Every feature is in HEAD, behind a flag. Precisely because managing conflicts cannot be automated, relying on branching is unwise. With HEAD based development, you manually solve conflicts exactly once, when submitting to HEAD, then you never have to think about them again.

Local branches for development, a single HEAD for merging code.
That is just not true. The Church was front and centre in the French Revolution. The whole problem was that the first two estates (Church and Nobility) didn't want to cede power to the third estate (the Commons). Removing the King was the only path the Commons found to get their share of the power (the King was actually well-loved by his subjects, at least at the start of the Revolution, in 1789). Many churches were severely vandalised during the Revolution, and Church-imposed taxes were banned.

So yeah, without getting into the weeds, the Church was very much one of the major causes of the Revolution, and it lost plenty of it's authority as a result of the Revolution.

I'd agree that Matlab is great and I honestly thought Matlab would be more expensive. I've done Andrew Ng's class, and I learned a great deal from it. Given that I haven't really figured out what I'd like to do with what I learned from the class I'd prefer to stick with the "lite" math package first till I decide to get more serious.
Yes, it's probably possible to do as you suggest. However, we're already using the right portion of the screen for player actions (use weapons and potions).
The tech specs say that it's compatible with TVs "capable of 2160p at 24/25/30/50/60 Hz." I hope that means it can output a native 24p signal for movies filmed at 24 fps. That would make it a serious contender for being the media center in my living room, because 24p seems to be neglected by all the major manufacturers.
