Love the comment by Michael Bloomberg:

“My hat’s off to Mark for making a decision he’ll never regret and making a difference he’ll forever be remembered for. Devoting his wealth to philanthropy at such an young age will not only benefit people from around the world for decades to come, it will also set an example for everyone in his generation who has the means to give. The traditional approach to giving – leaving it to old age or death – is falling by the wayside, as it should. Mark’s decision shows that when it comes to philanthropy, 30 is the new 70. I share many of Mark’s philanthropic interests, especially around education and innovation, and his focus on long-term ideas and research will help create economic opportunities and promote social equality for generations to come. The only question now is: How many of his peers in Silicon Valley and beyond will join him?”

Perhaps you should not publicize press releases and webpages detailing money you allocate "altruistically", if you do not wish others to comment.

(Throughout history in many cultures, people gain status by ostentatious gifts of wealth. Of course, that means you have to tell everyone of your benevolence. And as everyone knows, Koch uses his wealth — and shows like this — to wield enormous influence in politics.)

Maybe as the CEO of a clothing company I hope she can effect change in the seasonal nature of fashion, so that people aren't pushed to buy new clothes every year --and that clothes be made to last more then one season (via velocity of fashion, or via making compromised clothing fashionable (acid wash, tears, rips, etc...)

People who darn and patch already do what she proposes. It may take off with others, but she can make the industry be less about churning fashion and making things more durable (quality-wise and trend-wise). I mean, what does it matter how durable you make something, physically, if things aren't durable, fashion-wise?

PS. It wasn't "radical" before the 70s, as I understand it. It was typical.

Well, military spending is half of discretionary spending, but it's nowhere close to half the federal budget. I'd rather these billionaires and corporations be paying into the commonweal and helping us to pay for the social programs and infrastructure we need that are chosen by the will of the people. Instead they get to choose whatever priority is important to them, which are sometimes helpful (malaria) and sometimes disastrous ("education").

This Times article makes a mistake by acknowledging that the data are not trustworthy, but then relying on the data to make its point.

For example it concludes:

> “Yes, more whites than blacks die as a result of an encounter with police, but whites also represent a much bigger chunk of the total population,” PolitiFact said in its Aug. 21 post.

> But PolitiFact did not take into account the percentage of those by race involved in violent crime or shootings of police, as Mr. Moskos did.

The data of who is involved in violent crime or shootings of police are themselves in question, because they are self-reported by the very officers and departments who are under consideration. Saying that police can't be biased, because their self-reported data does not show bias, is begging the question.

Until very recently, with only a few exceptions, the only data on police activity was provided by police themselves. The ubiquity of camera phones is now providing a growing body of independently gathered--and contradictory--evidence. I think this represents a fundamental shift that is taking place in policing today.
Some people are good like that, but many others just want to have whatever is in fashion that year or more modern that year (new and maybe marginally better materials, but perhaps not necessary for the purchaser's expected use).

She has a good idea, I hope it catches on further and hope it permeates into the GAPs, UNIQLOs, ZARAs, Celios, Diesels, A&F, etc... but I'm not holding my breath.

Yes good point, this warrants some more research. The sudo was useful for install but I should see if it can be removed. Should also explore if there are concrete ways that the host can be attacked from the container, if a user does manage to execute code.

The only groups I can imagine challenging the mining itself would be private environmentalist groups (and even then, of the environmentalists who care at all, this would still be a low priority), and they do not have standing to challenge it.

In order for a state to care about challenging it, I suspect we would need to states to want to mine at the same location, in large enough quantities that they might get in each others way, or deplete the resource.
Repair Cafe is a volunteer organization that applies exactly this insight by holding free "repair cafe" events in which volunteer fixers fix anything for free. There are many local branches, if you are a fixer, volunteer for the next one near you. Bikes, electronics, toys. At the Palo Alto one several women bring sewing machines and fix garments.

I found it off putting how he used his daughter's birth as a PR opportunity for his philanthropy. Those events are totally unrelated but he used one to supercharge PR for the other.

My opinion on philanthropy is that if you're not doing it anonymously then you're doing it more for yourself than for the cause. It becomes just another status symbol (I'm more good than you because look at that news headline of how much I donated).

I think this largely depends on the purpose of said electronic item. Laptops, especially within the last few years, can be considered fit for purpose despite the advancements made in computer technology and new releases.

There is of course a point at which a repair becomes more impractical than a replacement, but with a good bit of patience and a steady hand, even an amateur repair tech and breath new life into a broken computer.

The idea of "fit for purpose" is pretty important, especially with electronics, as it's easy to get lost in spec competitions when considering the repair or replace decision. When I did Tech Support for a University and would have students bring me broken machines, it was always a personal consultation to determine the best approach for the student. Often they had little or no money to put towards a new machine, and most of the time all they needed was something to write papers on and watch netflix/do facebook-ey things. A newer computer would certainly do all of the above better, but that doesn't mean that first machine couldn't also do it just fine. $80 and an hour of my time to replace a cracked screen beats the student having to spend $400+ on a new laptop.

It's a weird, fine line with modern consumer electronics depending on what is broken - if you can clearly tell what the damaged part is and a replacement less than 1/3rd the cost of a new machine, I'd suggest it's worth investigating the repair option.
I don't think JS-based emulators are quite there yet in terms of performance, but I've no doubt that they will be eventually. I think this is the next best option for now.
Because the actual analytics (the part that BigQuery provides) is maybe 20% of this solution, and judging by the slides their ETL is very easy to use. What would I even use on Google Cloud to do ETL? Dataflow? Javascript UDFs? Something else? All of that seems clunky compared to what these guys are offering. And they have a bunch of data sources available "out of the box" that would be a hassle to deal with manually.

Another issue with BigQuery seems to be unpredictability of cost. One typo somewhere and you can easily run up a bill in tens of thousands of dollars because your dashboard isn't caching something. In a similar situation Redshift will merely get slow.
Houston, TX | Product Manager | Onsite

About the company:
GoCo is raising the bar for Houston Tech! We have an amazing team of developers, designers and sales folks that are on a mission to simplify and automate all the annoying admin work small businesses have to put up with (and make the workplace way more fun for those companies' employees along the way).

We've recently raised $1.8M and we need your help!

About the position:
As a PM at GoCo, you'll be a mini-CEO. You'll need to help us figure out what we should build and how we should build it. And you'll probably make mistakes along the way. But that's OK. We're all about learning quick.
The ideal GoCo PM would demonstrate these 4 main traits:
- Excellent communicator: You'll need to be a great listener so you can understand users' problems. And once you understand those problems, you'll need to convey your proposed solutions via email, PowerPoint decks, whiteboarding or just sitting down and talking with devs, design, and execs.
- Half analytical, half creative: You'll quantify and prioritize what's going to deliver the most bang for the buck. Sometimes, those features won't be very creative. What's worked before can work now. But sometimes, you'll really have to really think out of the box.
- Design: You don't need to be a designer. You don't need to know how to make things beautiful. But you do need to know how to distill complicated flows into something that's intuitive and simple.
- Bias for action: You need to get stuff done!
As a PM, you'll report directly to the seasoned Chief Product Officer and have massive opportunities for personal growth, leadership, and career advancement in a rapidly growing company.

You don't need any direct PM experience (though that's awesome). You just need to demonstrate the traits outlined above. Any experience with HR or insurance is a big plus.

For those not familiar with Patagonia, they are a clothing company with a long history of environmental consideration and action. Some of their famous decisions were to donate 1% of their revenues to environmental causes, and to shift their entire cotton clothing line to organic cotton. They did an audit of their entire supply chain and were surprised to find that cotton--not nylon or polyester--did the most environmental harm because of the heavy use of pesticides.

Their founder's book is an entertaining business book: Let My People Go Surfing, by Yvon Chouinard.

Japan spends far in excess of $500 million on telegrams a year, the overwhelming majority of it because it is traditional to send one if you're invited to a wedding and cannot attend.

There exist a variety of circumstances where a business has to put a piece of paper in someone's hand within about 24 hours. It's doable between virtually any two endpoints in the first world. It also costs whatever FedEx/DHL/etc think they can get out of a business which needs to have a document hand delivered on the other side of the world immediately, which is "a lot." (e.g. It's presently midnight on Wednesday in NYC. I can walk next door to a store in Tokyo and hand FedEx a letter. It will arrive at the New York Stock Exchange before the opening bell on Thursday. That will cost ~$125 but it will almost certainly actually work.)
Besides the problem with the lack of incentive for the author, I also think that it would be hard to get people to read these kind of publications. Quite often there is more than enough published in your little niche that you could read all the time and still not keep up. Building an argument for why you should additionally read something about other fields is quite hard.

At my research institute we have talks for a "general" audience as you described once a month. But they weren't popular at all until we decided to also sponsor a lunch with each of these talks.

They aren't two different things.

The "war on drugs" is, and was created precisely to be, a way to legally oppress people of color, especially black, latino, and Chinese people.

And it's not just this iteration of the "war on drugs." Prohibition generally, as a policy, has throughout history been first and foremost a tool to legally oppress people who have managed to win a modicum of legal protection otherwise.

You are the one diverting the argument by talking about "greater latitude in recreational pharmaceutical use," which, again in concert with every instance of prohibition throughout history, has not been interrupted by this policy and was never the impetus for its imposition to begin with.
