> why not show it to more people?

Because most people will have strong opinions about it, and those opinions will be wrong. The only people who have the right opinions are your prospective customers. Go show it to them.
> does this mean those 'partners' have to go all-or-nothing, and either monetize all of their videos or none?

Nope. Means nothing of the sort.

Working (Out) Your Way to Intense Productivity
Yes, I've seen this too, and in Orange County (SoCal) there are houses being bought like this and then nothing is done with them at all. They just sit there. I guess you can get away with it in a climate that never freezes so no issues with the pipes bursting, etc. The owners are foreign corporations, off-shore funds, etc., and a lot of Chinese.

I think the only solution is some kind of state or national tariff on foreign purchases of property or a tax on property owners that do not reside in the state. Of course then they'd incorporate shell corps but it would at least reduce the phenomenon a bit.
I totally agree with you there. It is much more useful than LinkedIn for me in most cases.

LinkedIn still has a key benefit of not being overly noisy and not having bots/spam accounts.

Twitter though makes it far easier to connect with the right sorts of people.

If Twitter can clean up the signal/noise ratio and help with killing off spam accounts and bots, I think its potential can only grow

If you base your business entirely on the API of another company, your entire business is at the mercy of that company and can be destroyed on a whim. This is especially true of free APIs though it also applies to paid ones.

Functional Reactive Programming in Java
German 'krautrock' seems to derive a sense of classical influence in that they were able to blend a wide range of subtle and harsh noises (fuzz guitars, experimental tape recordings) and still create long form compositions with a sense of progression and movements.

Electronica and tonal focused dance music are more closely related to Indonesian Gamelan music than Western classical.

Wim Wenders: Looking back on the road ahead
I'm not sure.

I've been going through the details in http://newsroom.grasswire.com and I'm almost completely convinced this is all hot air.

The Iran doc is public, the bill is obviously public. The policy paper is not but it’s also a draft, unclear who even authored or commented on it.

They are all also from a time when Brennan didn't even work for the government.

There is no indication these documents came from a compromised email address, and even less indication that any of it matters other than to say "lol the CIA Director is an idiot." I get that it's a sexy story to say "leaked emails of CIA director," but this is really not a big deal.

I found Facebook docs and APIs to be really good, until they changed one which completely broke a revenue-generating app and didn't post any notification of the change until a week after it had already gone live.

That was a few years back, maybe they're better now. But I doubt it.

Both Facebook and Twitter are a complete dream compared to Valve's API for Steam and Team Fortress 2. Working with that is a complete nightmare, if it even provides a fraction of the capability you need (which it almost certainly does not).
Interesting take on the future.

I agree about the current state of developer sentiment. I think anyone who looks at a company like Microsoft will see that developer sentiment isn't static. Might take years for things to change but I commend them for taking the right first steps towards rectifying the situation.
No? YouTube Red is ad-free videos on youtube.com along with music videos. Play Music subscription is all access to music in play music.

Also plenty of people don't realize/know/care that youtube is owned by Google. They are still a pretty independent brand from a consumer perspective.
And it's not available on the AppStore for U.S. people yet (I had to build it myself).
Here's a statement I got from a YouTube spokesperson:

"Creators have been asking us to launch a subscription service -- so that, combined with user demand, is why we built the service and why the overwhelming majority of our partners, representing over 98% of the content watched on YouTube, have signed up. Videos of partners who don’t update their terms will be made private ​in the US at launch ​because we think It isn't fair to ask a fan to pay $9.99 for a service that has less content than a free service."
What exactly in what I wrote suggests throwing out centuries of jurisprudence? There are already strict liability crimes, much less recklessness or negligence crimes, as well as crimes of omission.

Also what crime were you accusing me of having committed? Unlawful proposing of legislation Morgante doesn't like?
I am not sure you can explain a buffer overflow bug that easily to a layman. That's still a trivial bug for a developper. Most of the products involved in recent financial scandals are relatively simple to finance professionals. The problem was rather pretty much always a gross under estimation of the underlying risk combined with excessive leverage.
Anyone know what the CPM of Youtube ads is?

I'm using an adblocker today. I'd like to support the channels I like, but probably not if the $10/month is more than 10x what they're losing from not-watching-ads today.

Ignoring, for a second, that I'm pretty sure none of my favored channels have partner status anyway.
> That is a systemic problem, one which we don't have a good solution for.

Change the jury system/procedure to something better designed to generate trustworthy outputs. It seems simple enough in concept and there are many improvements that can be trivially suggested to improve the system even if we retained the idea of picking N people from the general population.

Not really. What I feel bad is a lot of 97% rejected applications may have pretty solid ideas. We could see the ideas of successful ones from demo day.

My actual purpose is I want to see rest of them.
"by Liv in a Truck in the Office’s P", really?
I would say it was the standard reason which is the margins are too low (because of competition and then need for large amounts of human labor) to support a tech start-up valuation.

There are lots of potential businesses that have high demand, but you just can’t make money from them. It is relatively easy to build a business that customers love, what is really hard is to build a business customers love AND are willing to pay a premium to use AND which can be monopolized so your margins are not eroded by competition. These are rarer than unicorns.
Used journals and reality checks like looking at mirrors to get started easily. Random stuff, flying, fu... plenty of fun for a while. Then, I got to experience what lucid nightmares were like and that kind of made me hesitant. Plus my mind incorporates new things into dreams quite like my thinking in genersl does. Example of how that sometimes went bad was seeing Inception and getting stuck into 5+ deep dreams I wasnt sure Id wake up from. Simpler example was doing a whole shift to wake up in reality for work feeling the whole shift (wth...). Just said screw it lol.

Trippy part is that dream "experts" seem surprised by much of this. They should study lucid dreaming more, esp under brain scans. Might learn stuff.
Thanks. I totally failed to figure out what I was supposed to try to do...

Hewlett-Packard throws in the towel on public cloud
How about Facebook? Remember them banning all "Wall" apps? And then borrowing the best features from those apps and building their own with those features built in? Anything any developer did to enhance the core Facebook experience was co-opted by Facebook to the loss of the developer.

The only saving grace for Facebook is all the great open source frameworks they've been sharing with the community.
Not sure why Nim keeps getting compared to Python. It's quite evidently influenced by the Wirthian languages, though I suppose contemporary programmers aren't really versed into those.
I lived in two campus houses for a period over a year. The vision and concept were great, and it's failure should 100% not be read as a failure of the sector. Someone's going to do this right and make a big success. I don't know if they'll reinvent whole cities, Tom's full vision, but they'll make better places for people to live.

My personal view of why it fails (as a housemate not an insider to the business) was the following:
1. Too much money too early meant they spent more than they should on things which weren't necessarily valued. Examples being hot-tubs in all the early houses, the vacation houses (I get they were an experiment) etc.
2. Poor financial management. Property at it's core is a simple business and getting the accounting/billing right is vital. I suspect that the leadership team didn't have enough financial knowledge of the books to run such a business, needed a grey hair CFO much earlier.
3. Premature scaling. I assume pressure from investors and the economics models showed you had to get mega scale to get VC rewards, and this lead to pressure to grow too fast. I moved from one house to another and it was clear there was a difference in how carefully the inhabitants were selected and this weakened the value proposition (the second house had two separate groups with very different and competing goals from living together).

I really hope someone gets this right, and not just for 20 something year olds. When I get married and have kids I'd love to have 5-10 other families sharing common areas, responsibilities etc. Figuring out how to build that community element and make it scalable is the hard part.

Youtube has become stupidly aggressive with its video ads in my region. To the point I actually try to avoid using it.

I will also consciously avoid all companies who think that it is acceptable to interrupt randomly people with their messages.

I am fine with overlay ads and I would have been positively influenced with the same ads in overlay form that now are forced on me as video ads.

Sorry, but this is a short term strategy.
wow, that's exciting
I've always thought of (some forms of) HFT as a way to let liquidity flow between exchanges, with a payoff equal to the degree to which the inter-exchange spread has been decreased. If the inter-exchange spread is wide, there is some value to be extracted from compressing that spread, and HFT provides the (in my opinion) valuable service of extracting that value, making the market more efficient as a whole.

The more people that are competing in that market, the smaller the value the HFTs can extract, until the actual market participants on the exchanges are only paying fractions of a penny for the privilege of buying shares "originating" from another market that has higher liquidity. I can't really see how this could be a bad thing (given enough competition).
If you're interested in this subject, can I suggest Everything and More by David Foster Wallace? (Yes, that DFW.) Sure, as some reviews describe in painful detail, some of it is mathematically sketchy. On the other hand, it's a pretty good discussion of issues around infinity, such as Zeno's (and everybody else's and their cat's) paradoxes (paradices? paradise?), and why a theory of the infinite is so darn necessary.
.... and it is evil on the part of the company providing the API to copy features from the best apps written for that API and cut off those developers by simply amending their ToS to say that such and such is not allowed... after they've co-opted that feature.
A sabbatical can be long (and is not "vacation time" or "sick leave") because by default it's unpaid.

So it's in the developer's interest as well for the manager to figure out a way to reshape his/her job to make it sustainable (and thus keep the paychecks coming) rather than just saying "uh, sure, go deal with your problems, take as long as you need; when you run out of money we'll still have your job here for you."

Plus -- "first newborn in the house" is something that causes upheaval for maybe 6 months or so, and then life settles down again. If you have a supportive/flexible work environment then "up all night with a crying baby" here and there (before the baby grows out of that stage!) doesn't result in crushing stress and visions of disaster.

Edit for more context -- we have a developer who works part time and sometimes takes long sabbaticals -- switching into his alter-ego as a theater director. It's quite a different sort of situation from someone who has a newborn and is burning out.
The amount of people who pay for Linkedin is considerably smaller.
It has one. The same story is reprinted in many sources so they're all unique. You can't simply moderate and say the same story was posted 12 hours earlier. I've seen plenty of stories that get ignored then reposted 12 hours later to become #1.
What exactly do you talk to a psychologist about?

I've often mused with the idea, perhaps there is some systemic issue that I need to have help with identifying and resolving... But then...what? Perhaps we have all seen way too many movies involving psychologists/psychiatrists, that it's slanted our view. I know it has slanted it for me.

There is this (American) company: www.tumbleweedhouses.com/

I don't think they are outright disrupting the market. But they are offering a new-ish alternative.

Housing is expensive to produce. Trying to produce "affordable" housing has inherent problems because there is somewhat direct conflict between your product goal and your profit motive. So I think if you want to see real disruption in the housing industry, it will probably be packaged differently than "affordable" housing. That tends to be code for "cheap piece of crap aimed at helping poor people." I don't think that is likely to be a strong position from which to disrupt a market. Early adopters of new stuff tend to be well off. If you want to bring down housing costs and also appeal to the upper class, you have to market it some other way.
Starting about a month ago they started offering add free for $12/month. Much better now...

People interested in this topic should look up Monroe's Hemi Synch, old books on Lucid Dreaming (esp "reality checks"), reality hackers, and so on. Not endorsing any specific source rather than showing where most info was in 80's and 90's. This stuff goes way back.

Easiest method takes persistence rather than tech. Try to remember dreams, write details in journal each morning, and use reality checks all thfough the day until they're habit. Look those up on net as there's good examples. My favorites are how, in dreams, (a) mirrors oftdn have no reflection and (b) text you write changes if you look away then back again. Also regular naps in day with high REM.

A few weeks in you will look into a mirror and see nothing. Lucid. ;) Just don't do it if you have mental disorders or high stress. After all, it amplifies what's in your mind and you want to be in control.
I think the site is ok.
But if I can offer some constructive criticism, the english needs to be fixed:

"It is really ahead of time among Lucid Dreaming enhancement devices and technologies."
"Live out an extremely unforgettable night experience with the device that literally tunes on your dreams!"

"HTTPS IS encrypted"

Oh wow. Really? You haven't done your homework then. So many ways to undermine the certificate authority model, including many famous cases, one involving the Iranian government gaining access to their citizen's "encrypted" traffic.

Yes, of course. It is up to the channel, not the average user, to decide whether to accept red money or not.

If that channel decides to not take the red money, then their videos will essentially be hidden - you can still find them, but you have to go directly to their page and not through search or something.

The 32-bit switch for PS3 blew me away when I finally saw it. I never knew about it having started out on the 64-bit pointer GCC toolchain (it only uses syscalls, no SPX calls, no non-kernel ABI concerns) for "jailbroken" PS3s. Did games actually get shipped to consumers before they changed the ABI? I was only around PS3 development post 2012, so I'm not sure myself. The whole ordeal is insane.

Sexism is an important issue, but posting this article (as opposed to the previous one you posted) will likely attract more negative comments than the discussion you intended to start.

I disagree. I think this is a useful and thoughtful continuation of the previous article. The horrible responses to an article about horrible behaviour is salient.

Yes, it'll attract more trolls, but it'll also stimulate more useful discussion and provides more useful information. Good on her.
