The problem for content produces is that if I end up in a situation where I can't get your content without ads (I'm willing to pay), then I'm eventually going to not view your content, and I'm going to not share your content, and others will do the same, and you'll see readership drop. When readership drops, any revenue you had from ads will also drop because some of the people I shared your articles with viewed your ads, even if I didn't.

Furthermore, when the OS vendors are putting ad blocking tech into their browsers, I no longer worry about the ad producers having the better tech. When smart bomb detection is built-in to the OS, all I need is an update and mom and pop can avoid the bombs as well as anyone.
>I don't know how anybody can look at the bugs and fixes that continually plague .0 versions of Apple's OS software across their devices and jump at the chance to try it out.

Quite simply because I've never once been bitten by them -- with the exception of some haxies not working.

>I'm old enough to remember when Apple's OS was mostly rock-solid.

When was that? Because I remember Mac OS (pre X) beeing anything but rock-solid. I also remember the first X release being a disaster, and people moaning about issues I've never encountered in my (heavy) Mac use for every new release.

(I also remember the hardware problems, from the overheating cube and the G3 logic boards that died by the ton to the G5 tower leaking cooling goo).
I will post online after we hear back from all festivals. While there is no premier requirement for short films, I do not want to lower my chance at being accepted. Festivals prefer to be the first ones to premier films.

As far as I can remember, using MOD music was pretty rare for MS-DOS-era PC games. The only exceptions I can think of were either Epic MegaGames titles (Unreal, Jazz Jackrabbit, Epic Pinball) or games that originated in the demoscene (Zone 66).
So what?

Framing it that way doesn't make it any easier to resolve.
I think the real problem is email. It's this antiquated technology that doesn't fit into the modern software as a service tools everyone uses to get things done. Email worked in the world of desktop apps but the snail mail paradigm email emulates is antithetical to the real-time fast paced team collaboration everyone is trying to achieve.

Yet nothing manages to replace email, we depend on email above all else and what happens is that important information about tasks leaks into email from project management software and there's no easy way for this kind of software to fold email into what they're trying to do. Email doesn't play nice with anyone, it doesn't even play nice with email servers and email clients. Yet we all use it. I doubt anything will replace email. 200 years from now space ships on their way to Vega will be sending IMAP mail messages to planet Earth.

Festivals make money off the tickets being sold to see the movies, hence this requirement. Some festivals will not show your film if you already premiered somewhere else. It is especially strict for feature films.
The Venn diagram of your friends and my friends must have no overlap. I know quite a few people who live in SF and not a single one has a roommate.
This article is missing one really key point about working for these unicorn companies, the stock that goes along with salary.

The article is comparing salaries of mid-senior level engineers and that $120k-$150k salary also often comes with $200k - $1+M in stock. As a SF-based startup founder and having been in tech recruiting for years, the clear upside of working for a unicorn is the stock with much lower risk of downside, but still plenty of upside growth.

If you look at percentage of Total Comp to rent, the numbers aren't nearly as outrageous.

Sure. But there is substantial difference between "most women want" and "woman cannot...."

I don't disagree that most women will not marry down. That doesn't mean they cannot marry down.

Absolutely agree! In my case, since there are short films, I am not looking for distributors for them, even though there is a small market for short films. I am looking forward to meeting other filmmakers and being selected to a festival opens a lot of doors.
Game Center is a nasty piece of work by Apple. It's ruined iOS 9 and I regret installing that on my iPad and iPhone 6. Now, when I enter a very simple solitaire-like game called Midnight Mahjongg, I get slow-animating, built-in-delayed GC upsells and requests to log in to GC, even though I hate and detest and loathe GC. And if I so much as accidentally go to Home screen and back into game, presto, GC upsell appears again. On iPad it appears for 5 times -- you have to cancel 5 times and then it gets quiet. Until the next day. On iPhone, 3 cancels is enough to shut it up. Until the next day.

Use the game the next day and the counters are reset: 5 more cancels on iPad, 3 cancels on iPhone.

GC is the worst thing Apple's done in years. And if they have brought that crap and its fascist ways to MacOSX, then I really am hesitant to install any more MacOSX updates.

I was raising four daughters in a nice suburban neighborhood. They were starting to ride bicycles up and down the street. Knowing which house the sex offender lived in (only 3 houses away) let us steer which areas they could ride in (didn't tell them why), and led us to say that they couldn't go out riding alone. I thought that was definitely important information.

Yeah, you can be worried about the consequences to the sex offender. There's a valid argument there. But I'm worried about the potential consequences to my daughters.

And the situations aren't comparable at all. I get to be a sex offender by doing something. I get on the wrong side of this new site by annoying just one person.

I think it's safe to assume that the rent is too damn high for companies relocating or setting up offices in SF. It would have been much more insightful of they could supply that graph with office or residential space data over time to get the full picture.

I have kind of the same thinking, although during the last big one, my inlaws house is rebar and it held up amazingly well, while a few around theirs(of wood), didnt. Not exactly solid evidence though, im not sure on their build quality, where my father in law paid extra to make his house over quality(compared to the law based minimums at the time).
Maybe if you beat the bushes hard enough. The companies offering positions without non-competes are going to be rare as the employers labour law council will include it if they can get away with it. It will also very likely be non-negotiable and the documents you get on your first day of employment will be offered up as "sign or be fired".

It's much better for the employee if there is legislation prohibiting non-competes as you can choose any employer to work for.
Where do you draw the line then? would you include Google et all the local cops.

The 33/33/33 rule aims to provide you with enough savings to cover your current cost of living in retirement. It's based on the assumption that your cost of living won't drastically change in the meantime. That assumption breaks down when you're living in a very high cost of living area where you don't intend to retire. I doubt that very many people who live in 1BR apartments in downtown SF will maintain that lifestyle into retirement.
The Parable of the broken window;

Have you ever witnessed the anger of the good shopkeeper,
James Goodfellow, when his careless son has happened to
break a pane of glass? If you have been present at such a
scene, you will most assuredly bear witness to the fact
that every one of the spectators, were there even thirty
of them, by common consent apparently, offered the
unfortunate owner this invariable consolation – "It is an
ill wind that blows nobody good. Everybody must live, and
what would become of the glaziers if panes of glass were
never broken?"

Now, this form of condolence contains an entire theory,
which it will be well to show up in this simple case,
seeing that it is precisely the same as that which,
unhappily, regulates the greater part of our economical
institutions.

Suppose it cost six francs to repair the damage, and you
say that the accident brings six francs to the glazier's
trade – that it encourages that trade to the amount of
six francs – I grant it; I have not a word to say against
it; you reason justly. The glazier comes, performs his
task, receives his six francs, rubs his hands, and, in
his heart, blesses the careless child. All this is that
which is seen.

But if, on the other hand, you come to the conclusion, as
is too often the case, that it is a good thing to break
windows, that it causes money to circulate, and that the
encouragement of industry in general will be the result
of it, you will oblige me to call out, "Stop there! Your
theory is confined to that which is seen; it takes no
account of that which is not seen."

It is not seen that as our shopkeeper has spent six
francs upon one thing, he cannot spend them upon another.
It is not seen that if he had not had a window to
replace, he would, perhaps, have replaced his old shoes,
or added another book to his library. In short, he would
have employed his six francs in some way, which this
accident has prevented.

What is considered a 'good' pay scale outside the bay area?
That's only true if you need to live in new construction. My previous apartment was an old crappy 2BR on Capitol Hill, with Cascade views, from 2012-2014, for $1500. Currently I'm paying $2200 for a 2BR house with a nice yard in the Central District.

If anyone wants to rent a nice 3BR house north of the UW for $3-4K, email me, I know of one for rent.
Where will we get the money for that? We're already trillions of dollars short on future obligations.
That's the trick to rates.

Assuming that elsewhere you would do 30/30/40 % split on rent/savings/spend, then as long as you're making 40%+ more income (than elsewhere) you're okay to spend 50% on rent because you can save just as much or more.
Yeah, but you made a statement about the kind of logic you cannot study, so we can begin by formalizing that.
Indeed it does. Thanks for the tip that 9.0.2 was out.
I wish. If it was up to me I would make a movie without ever leaving my apt and with no human interactions. I am an introvert and this industry is not favorable to introverts. As of technology - there have been many technological advancements in every step of the process, which is what allowed someone like me with basically no budget make these two short films. Software and equipment is much cheaper and barrier to entry is low. But good production quality still costs money.

or time off in general. Just a small sample of the cruelty inflicted on people by many companies:

- Significant other or child dies -- too bad, so sad, go without pay.

- Having a kid? Hope you enjoy not being paid while you have that extra medical expenses, or being marginalized. Worst case? You get fired.

- Sick? Sucks to be you.

(More of an aside, but I never personally understood the reason why the economy doesn't better support having children. An every-increasing supply of future consumers is what drives a lot of economic expansion in this country.)

Thank you for the link. I was hoping it would include more detail about the cars. For example which engines and do they have start-stop. About the only thing I saw mentioned but not well accounted for was the automatic gearbox difference.

I have a car with 2.5L turbo engine and I can get from 13.5-28MPG from a tank of gas depending on a number of factors, mainly on how I drive, but also what fuel, how loaded-up the car is, and tires. I suspect that automatics with turbo or supercharged engines with start-stop have the greatest difference in real world v test performance. And yes that is because of how people drive compared to the test.
It appears to be an issue with Akamai. They are either serving a wrong certificate (with www.irs.gov missing in SAN), or pointing to wrong servers in DNS.
Yes. This is deliberate policy by the government to push people to buy more cars than they would otherwise buy.
I was going to say the same. I recently started my meditation practice again and I noticed I'm not quite as easily able to get the waters in my mind to settle, but I remember when I did I could go many seconds (maybe even a minute) without having any thoughts un-related to my breath. It's really beautiful to feel it in such a calm state
> - When accelerating, try not to over-extend the throttle. If the engine is at 2k rpm, you get just as much acceleration from 30% throttle as 100%, at half the fuel cost.

Well, that's obviously not true.
> What am I missing?

To pick a few things I can talk about - sufficient replication to not lose data, data security that actually works (small companies can't - and shouldn't - afford disk shredders and internal access audits), targeted obliteration of customer data on request (including getting it out of the backups without rendering the backups worthless), and making sure that your exported data dump which contains massive amounts of personal information is only ever released to the correct user.

Doing any one of these things in isolation is not all that hard, because you can trade off against the others (for example, it is dead easy to do a data dump if you don't care about data security). Doing all of them at the same time is a large, expensive development project that would sink any startup.
Even a rusty chain is ridiculously efficient - in the high 90%'s. An ICE and drive chain is pitiful in comparison, so let's substitute the chain for a missing rear axle nut so that, when pedalling, the wheel pulls to one side and creates tangible frictional losses.

I grew up in a very hilly area plus I have done a few continental rides where hills can be graded nicely and go on for 10 - 20 miles with little change of gradient. The hope to coast up the other side of the valley never really works out as well as one might hope, with a road that goes down a big hill you are invariably pedalling on the lower reaches of the down hill part, even if you were doing a good 30+ mph at the top. This can be due to the valley heating during the day giving a prevailing headwind due to air expanding.

Meanwhile, in the steep hills I grew up in, you can get a measured 40+ mph, conservative guessing (I would be boasting if I mentioned top measured speeds as they can be quite incredible but 40 mph is the town limits speed and it is cool to exceed it on a bike). Clearly this speed scrubs off with aerodynamics not being favourable. So you really do not blissfully roll up the other side, roller-coaster style.

On a daily basis I go over an arched bridge that does have a hill leading in to it. So you can coast down the hill, up over the arch and on down the other side. The fun is to not pedal over the bridge, to be in 'roller-coaster' mode. This feels good, and easy, but there is a psychological factor going on here. One's brain is distracted by the 'roller coaster' (or traffic) and not really noticing how much of a slog things are.

Essentially the only way things could work out anywhere near how you imagine is if there is no atmosphere. The cost of speed is aero and you just do not get the free ride up the other side of the valley, period.

If it was quicker/more efficient to go up and down hills we wouldn't have land speed records be they by bicycle or rocket car set on dead-flat courses, would we?

With the sibling reply regarding undulating paths, that is part 'mind trick' as it is mentally stimulating going up and down like that. It is just an illusion...

However, I can in part rescue your line of thinking on this - muscle groups... I actually like hills and you can use your arms, legs and plenty of muscles in between to 'conquer' a hill. On the flat you are more likely to just spin (unless sprinting). Maybe if you factor in the baseline power your body needs for pumping blood around, maybe that could make things 'possible'.

But the more I think about it - no... Look at motorways and trucks. Trucks are more efficient than cars even if they have lots of wheels and no obvious aerodynamic considerations. Lorry drivers do not choose the undulating 'A road next to the motorway when one is available. They stay on the motorway doing their most efficient speed (as that is how to make a profit). Hills that any car or lorry could go up are cut through with motorways, to make things as flat as possible.
This article can't even get basic geography right… (no, Stripe is not in Soma, it's in the Mission). And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Perhaps that is their goal: "Buy it, get 30% return on it, let it die. BUT if the people there somehow manage to revamp it, sell it."

very true, as a matter of fact you do not need to spend millions to make a great movie - "Tangerine" is a good example. However, the less amount of money you want to spend the more actual work you need to by yourself and unfortunately one can't know everything about everything.
I'm thinking the lag time will be around the same as the metric system, so anywhere from 55 years to forever.
I'm not sure what that proves, at least relative to what I'm saying?

IFF the EPA's regulatory test procedure accurately described/expressed normal driving habits, then the only way that numbers would differ between the real world and the reported numbers would be fraud/lying/alteration, like what Volkswagen Group engaged in (let there be no mistake, it WAS fraud/lying, not a case of poor optimization).

BUT the EPA's regulatory test DOES NOT accurately depict normal driving conditions.

In the current case, a manufacturer has to:

- Realize and Formally accept that the test procedure is inaccurate
- Optimize for:
- Simulated driving conditions, aka the Test Procedure
- Real life driving

To me, it looks like GM just didn't do any of that, and only optimized for the simulated conditions and not real world road conditions.

Depending how far out of wack the test procedure really is could explain the entire data-set.
Sure, I see the zdnet article. We could still play this game with any arbitrary string, though!

Regarding the assumption of full use of the binary space... May I phrase that differently? azAZ and 09azAP both leave big swaths of the space as always-zero or perhaps always-one. Another way to phrase it: you could write out an azAZ string using five-bit characters and have room to spare.

The swaths of emptiness in the range of possible values is why I took an English sample and did my best to encode it the same way as the original was, so that we'd have an apples-to-apples comparison. The English sample had higher entropy than the original--after "accounting for" encoding.

You are right, my method of "accounting for" encoding did nothing for the "serial correlation coefficient" metric. I didn't know what that was until you mentioned it, thanks.

Your actual/expected analysis is a good idea, though it took me a minute to understand what you were doing. I guess: "If these are truly random digits from azAZ, then half of them will be uppercase." Indeed. But... I just read an article[0] which convinced me that I have no idea how "random" works. (Specifically this bit: As an example, the probability of having exactly 100 cars is 0.056 — this perfectly balanced situation will only happen 1 in 18 times.

Cheers.
