Thanks for the feedback, we're still honing the message. Here's some of our differentiating features:

• Full-text search. Keep a page—or a co-worker keeps something work related—and you can search for anything inside it. Great for finding that blog post where you remember some of the content, but not the title.

• Integration into Google. With our Chrome and Firefox extensions, your keeps show directly in Google. You don't have to remember you kept a page, and they come back when you're searching for them.

• Communication. The browser extension easily lets you chat on the page or send the page as an email. This makes isolating conversations to specific content very easy. Even highlight a section of the page and send the highlight.

• Libraries (groups of keeps) can be published, shared, and collaborated on. Here are some of my public ones: https://www.kifi.com/andrew. We have tens more private that we use internally.

Trello is awesome for task collaboration, and we think we compliment them for keeping track and collaborating on web resources. Would love your feedback, feel free to email me direct at andrew@kifi.com with any more thoughts.
"Great" article.
Agreed. Definitely do see plenty of opportunities within the residential and commercial real estate space. The biggest problem will depend on which market you're going after.

From my experience, there are great problems to solve on all sides of real estate. The key would be to know who's going to be paying for it. For now, I've settled on building a Zillow-type site in Canada. Happy to chat more if you'd like someone to bounce ideas with.

One problem is bacteria develop resistance to the new drugs very quickly. Usually within 2-3 years.

It actually varies significantly across antibiotics. I can't find the source right now, but there was a neat diagram that showed the introduction of each antibiotic and when resistance was first identified.

Some resistance was found in less than a year after the antibiotic was introduced and some were found 20 years later.

I think that isn't fair to IPOs other than Facebook. Facebook was unusual in having the leverage to snub the banks and price strong.
Even if MTProto is insecure I want someone I trust to tell me so.

it's very likely insecure but the amount of negative press on the subject of telegram is worrying, would you rather people use whatsapp?

I know they're not touting themselves as the bastion of security (like telegram does) but I'd rather people used telegram because at the very least the protocol is open source, and once they have federation and a released server it will be possible to improve on the security probably.
You think big pharma encourages more regulation by the FDA? Jesus, they have a hard enough time getting approved under current rules. It would be a death sentence for them if they made them more stringent.

Every big pharma/biotech I've worked for has always pushed the FDA to make exceptions to the rules. They certainly aren't push for more of them.

My brother and I discovered BBSes in at the peak of our adolescence. Someone had given a copy of Procomm that we could use with our 2400 baud modem and a list of BBS numbers and it didn't take us too long to learn that some of those BBSes hosted porn. We had some friends with modems and it wasn't long before we started a porn collective where we'd coordinate downloads and share images via floppy disk and bicycles.

Because most of the BBSes would only give you 30-60 minutes a day, time was of the essence. You'd quickly log in, scan the list of files with the most promising sounding name, start your download and wait an agonizing 5-6 minutes counting the seconds until it was complete.

There were a few dilemmas you had after downloading. You could disconnect so you could view the picture right away, but you risked not being able to get back in because some other guy called as soon as you hung up.

ZModem was a godsend. Not only was it faster, it supported resume after abort when your line got disconnected. Soon after, the terminals and picture viewers were getting so good you could shell out and view images while you were downloading.
Sigh, this makes Telegram look "guilty" now, and worst of all, it will put pressure on other app developers now to do the same. Next we'll hear some Congressman says that Google and Apple should be monitoring their apps for "terrorist talk" and report to authorities in real-time. But I guess Facebook has already been doing that for years.

This is a classic comment from someone who forgets that societies and governments don't work like cleanly controlled complex systems.

In order for us to "stop the arms race for stronger and stronger antibiotics", we have to let people infected with resistant bacteria die. In droves. You would be all for this strategy until it's you, or your spouse or child sitting there being eaten alive by MRSA. You could tell your toddler that she's not dying for no reason, and that a few years from now the bacteria won't be as deadly. That'll make her feel better.

Do you really think that this is even remotely realistic in any democratic society?
A couple of interesting things about the IPO. A Lot more the trades happening are tagged as coming from trade reporting facilities, which means they were crossed/filled by internalizes, than is normal.

This usually means retail flow( regular folks) using E-Trade, Ameritrade, Interactive Broker, Scott Trade, etc to buy/sell shares. These firms get paid to send their orders to HFT firms who fill the orders internally(ie not on an exchange) and then use trade reporting facilities to notify the markets of these orders.

Also supporting this thesis is the number of small and odd lot trades.

So you could argue that main street likes Square more than Wall street.

With the market down and Match.com's IPO popping less, this is a very good opening for them.

Having said that, the real test for most new stocks is 6 months out when they've had 2 reporting quarters, options start to trade and short interest numbers( a measure of how many people want to short the company) start to have some validity.

Question to anyone more informed than me......

Do squares late series investor's liquidation preference kick in at the IPO opening price or the vwap price through the day?

If it's the former, then the late stage investors are going to get a great double dip of getting a huge increase in shares due to the ipo price being below their strike and get the benefit of this pop.

Maybe late stage investors aren't as dumb as people around here have been claiming lately?
> I'm sorry, but I don't see this as being a matter of "color".

I vehemently disagree. You know why? Because the cops actually showed UP to a burglary 911 call. Been shown multiple times that in an area of influence, the police are much more likely to show up than an area of poverty.

> No department is going to waste that degree of resources on a simply "burglary".

They sent 17-19 police officers, plus dogs. The only thing I think of off the top of my head that even warrants that much response is perhaps a street brawl? Or street racing? How many people did they honestly think was breaking into ONE apartment that 17-19 police officers showed up as a response?

> I think this author is looking to make this an issue of race when it simply was not.

Again, I disagree. Both officer and 911 caller both described the person doing the B&E as a Hispanic MALE, and they detained a Black FEMALE. I would assume as an adult, that one could at least tell the difference between a man and a woman, especially if that person is a police officer.

No, it doesn't. About the only times its even approximately happened during or after the 20th Century to a national currency of a nation that had been a major world power within the preceding century have been a few cases to the losing side of major wars (and in those cases, prewar businesses are quite likely to lose their market and ability to operate as a result of the war and its loss, independently of the collapse of the currency.) It absolutely doesn't happen all the time.

Hams are the last to go offline and the first to come back on wherever a natural disaster strikes. They are due to their de-centralized nature incredibly resistant and often function as the first points of contact to provide information on the scope of the damage. Many hams are well prepared for this and have their own backup power, just in case. It's a pity that this 'hobby' (though if you'd walk into some ham shacks that word seems very inadequate) is slowly dying out. Most hams are well past their middle age, and the younger ones tend to work exclusively with bought equipment. Maybe the new 'maker' trend will usher in a new age in which it is considered cool to know how to size an LR circuit and how to wield a soldering iron.

They do, actually. "Never let a good crisis go to waste."

As morally abhorrent as most of us may find the practice of profiting on human suffering to be, we often forget that there are people out there whose morality is almost entirely incompatible with our own, or who lack any sense of morality whatsoever. For a variety of reasons, those same-species parasites are drawn to positions where they can manipulate overly credulous humans for their own gain.

These propaganda campaigns are roughed out ahead of time, like a Mad Lib, and the details are filled out after any relevant crisis occurs, with any inconvenient facts stretched out and re-tailored to fit the narrative structure.

It's not a conspiracy. Those people are not working together. They just coincidentally fired their bullets on the pull of the same trigger.

The terrorists didn't use Bitcoin? Well, in that case, imagine how much worse it could have been if they did use it! They didn't use encryption? How many more would have died if they did?
The headline is unnecessarily racially motivated. I feel that anyone getting into an apartment through an unusual manner -- locksmith, window, etc could be cause for police to investigate. No matter the race of the observer or the actor.

The issues around show of force, lack of police identification on showing up as well as lack of identification after the fact are, however, extremely troubling.
The solution does not need to be that drastic. Stop using antibiotics as a placebo, stop using antibiotics in your household cleaning supplies, stop dosing livestock with antibiotics as a prophylactic, .... Part of the problem is that since antibiotics have been so beneficial we now over use them. This creates an environment saturated with antibiotics, which in turns drives evolution of resistance in bacteria.

(tldr; household cleaners with antibiotics mean that when you do get sick, it won't be something that can be cured)
For technical guys, it's about selling them on a good tech problem to solve. Ask your network and start with your immediate circle of friends. Work outwards till you find one.

They accomplish the same thing with different dependency structures, as well as catering to different types of dependencies. Front-end components vs backend components.
They didn't per-se leave money on the table. The 60% pop is for shares that are actively trading. The actively traded amount is much much less than the amount that was taken in by institutional investors that would agree to hold the stock for an extended period of time.

I'll have to admit it's a pretty cool project, but if you want to create a cheap source of insulin, you're really just creating a generics company.

And the reason why there isn't any generic insulin is because each new insulin is "next generation" and people would rather pay more for the added benefit than use the old stuff.
> Comcast's flagrant disregard for customer satisfaction, or even their basic human dignity, is a striking testament to the failure of regulators to ensure adequate competition in this space.

Similar experience: our older house had AT&T - only 7.5 Mbit/s or so, but it pretty much never went down; our newer house has Comcast - supposed to be 30 Mbit/s, but often goes wonky or out.

It's a tough call: go 1/4 speed at 1/2 the price, reliably, or try to go 4 times faster at "only" twice the price (appx), but gamble from day to day :-(
This seems to be a pretty common thing. Why don't IPOs use some sort of auction structure to discover the right price at the time of the IPO, rather than setting a price up-front and trying to figure out the optimal number ahead of time?

The infinite loop on unsigned integers exemplifies a failure in C's type system: integer wraparound is so rarely desirable behavior that a range error on wraparound would prevent many such errors from failing silently.

There's an argument to be made that this check would hurt performance (and I buy that argument--given C's goals and the time when it was made, the type system compromises it made make sense). But it would be nice if processor manufacturers made add/sub instructions that detected wraparound, which would allow languages to implement such checks performantly.

> The problem is clearly one of lack of self-control...

I'm not aware of enough evidence to say that it's clearly anything... if you have references on this I'd be keen to hear them.

Short of some actual studies in this area, I'm skeptical.

Baumeister's work on ego depletion showed that self-control isn't a constant trait, it varies with other factors, so to show that self-control was the problem you'd have to show that there are no more hidden variables.

I'd rather take $150, go to Nordstrom, and buy a dress that I know looks good on me because 1- I've tried it on and 2- I have gotten it tailored. Off-the-rack dresses/formalwear rarely looks amazing on anyone without a little tailoring.
One solution is to make both bounds explicit, like set-builder notation would.

for (size_t i = numBurritos - 1; 0 <= i && i < numBurritos; i--)

But this loops infinitely if sizeof(numBurritos) == sizeof(size_t) where size_t is unsigned, because the entire space of possible values returns True. This failure mode exists whether we increment or decrement over unsigned values.

The root problem here isn't decrementing. The root problem is the unsigned value. So maybe it's best practice to use signed values whenever possible. This way, the existence of negative values guarantees the existence of a sentinel.
