When does a universe split? The relativity of simultaneity causes problems: one observer will have to interpret the universe as splitting in one way and then the other, while another will observe the opposite ordering.

My personal favorite interpretation is the relational interpretation [1], where we just stop asking nonsensical questions about the universe. It does away with problematic notions that arise from our biases as human beings.

7 Things That Define Great Founding Teams
Before the core idea became the real-time news, it evolved from being a tool for personal status updates, a way to coordinate small groups, a way to search for public sentiment on certain events like political debates, and a few other mini-incarnations I've missed.

Perhaps someone using Twitter to coordinate their small group or family meet-ups denounced CNN, Bloomberg or Reuters as "nonsense" when those organizations appeared on Twitter.

And that's the core product problem - there's always a potential that the old core idea is no longer relevant, and perhaps a stream of photo updates (Instagram, Twitpic), a stream of video updates (Vine) or real-time video broadcasting (Periscope) is the next big thing and therefore the new core idea.
RE 2. Yea, wait... What ever happened to the e-commerce platform they started to roll out?
Is the lean startup dead? Controversial, some might be offended.
My opinion, most startup accelerators are nothing more than just lean startup mentors. If this is the case, why do we need them? Startup accelerators should be looking at what YC did, help entrepreneurs rather than trying to package and sell lean startup shit as a fee. The lean startup as we know it is outdated.

BINGO: Lack of clear product vision
The median wage also depends on your experience and abilities. You may not be worth that much to the company.

If you think you deserve more, ask for a raise and if they say no, ask what needs to happen for you to get one.

Otherwise, find another job. This is how I got raises every few yeara, when I was an employee.

In the future if you want better help for a question like this, you should state whether you're familiar with UNIX or not, what type of development you do, what stack you develop for, what languages, what you have already done. etc.
very clearly include an "I accept all responsibility for this"

It can't be a simple checkbox, or an Agree button. Make someone type, exactly:

I accept all responsibility for this

Even then, the majority of the general public (as opposed to computer nerds) would be awfully upset at being locked out.

You're exactly right: there'd probably be a whole lot of "Hold my beer and watch me turn on full personal responsibility here! Oh, hang on - shit. Oooops..."

You must realize how ridiculous your post is. Sex can and does play a role in intimacy, but we do possess brains that can prioritize goods and sacrifice the lesser ones for the greater ones when necessary. It may requires work and habit formation, and some suffering, but it's possible. If all that is keeping your relationship together is sex, then you have larger issues you must address. The rest you've written is just woo.

While I would love to do that it just isn't feasible for me and probably most others. ICANN really needs to provide better controls to avoid resorting to such workarounds.
I was just in China over the border from Hong Kong and Google maps felt to just be offset to the west and a bit north by about 500m. Once you mentally adjusted to that, the maps still felt very accurate. Check out the border and look how the roads are all cut off at the border, very weird
So it uses interfaces and anonymous fields. So if you are familiar with Qt, something like QPushButton would be implemented in go by having an anonymous field for QAbstractButton which would have an anonymous field for QWidget. Furthermore, this class has to implement an interface so it can be passed around like a normal QWidget in C++ would.

That was kind of a ramble, but thats the gist of it.
Yeah, this is the common industry view that employees are simple minded children fearful and inept without a manager/parent. They are the turnips that management will squeeze blood from. This view is usually promulgated by managers.
I am VERY interested in what you mentioned about fastmail. That seems like an amazing idea. I have never thought about it.

I think I need to make a script that can do that for me. A simple mail server to forward emails both ways.

For context, TWTR priced its IPO in $17-20 range http://www.cbsnews.com/news/twitter-prices-ipo-at-26-a-share... before the wave of demand pushed its higher. Unless someone was acquired in a largely stock-based transaction during the short period of time TWTR was in sub-$70 range, the trip has been relatively stable.
The Past and Future of Laundry
Interestingly, it seems based on my limited understanding of many AI and machine learning techniques that these techniques don't really follow the rule. If you train an artificial neural network to recognize certain photographs, you don't really understand what is going on. You know how the artificial neurons work, and how the training process works to apply weights to various connections between neurons, but you don't really know in precise terms what is going on any more than you do with a biological neural network.

I don't know what the implications of this are, or even if my simplistic understanding is accurate, but it does seem interesting.

That wasn't just Apple. The reason that happened was because gcc went from 3 to 4 in that time frame. gcc and C++ never guaranteed binary compatibility, especially between major versions.

I had similar problems on Linux and Solaris because of that transition. My own fault (actually my employer's) for assuming binary compatibility when it was never promised.
Heh - I had that once too "This 2Gig of flash we've got specced here is kind of expensive." they said "Uh oh" I thought, "We can save nearly $2.50 if we replace it with 4Gig" they said "Ah hah! That'll solve my problem about how to safely download and install a new complete OS image!" :-)

This already happened to Matt Honan back in 2012, where the hacker used social engineering on both Amazon and Apple to take over his twitter handle (oh and also wiping all his devices via iCloud). http://www.wired.com/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/

It looks like both Amazon and Apple have fixed _some_ issues since then - Amazon is no longer leaking last 4 digits, but instead they're still leaking other info. Apple now requires more information to reset accounts and to wipe devices.
The FSF's interpretation is valid for GPLv2 and LGPLv2 as well, since the line "You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein." is also in there (not everyone agrees with this interpreation, but that's beside the point). The anti-tivoization clauses are not considered to be the problem, generally, since app developers are not distributing tivoized hardware or tivoizing it with their software.

Also, the path for solving compliance problems for (L)GPLv3 is much more well defined, as opposed to the case of v2. That's a plus.

Hawaii county removed the ability to search by name several years ago. You can still get name and mailing address for any property, but you have to search based on the physical address or otherwise query the correct property record. You can't just do a "let's see what John Smith owns" type of search.

You MIGHT still be able to search by name in the old fashioned way, by going into the office, but I am uncertain about that.
Ball point pens were made since the 19th century the balls were (and I'm pretty much sure that still are) made by dropping liquid metal into a coolant with high viscosity so they'll turn into spheres and then tumbled with an abrasive material usually fine sand or glass to make them smooth.

You do not need sophisticated equipment and especially not some high end CNC machining to make balls from metal what is this nonsense?

EDIT:
Found a video from BIC basically tungsten carbide droplets abrasively tumbled into perfect spheres (this is basic physics as they always want to tumble around their center of mass they end up being pretty close to being perfect spheres) https://youtu.be/D0OyjRgUBns?t=43
The problem with water treatment is that maintenance is quite expensive. The water company I worked for replaced all of its filters every other year and opened up as many fire hydrants as they could in the spring to try to flush the entire pipe system (while switching from chloramines to free chlorine during this period). Then again, said water system also has the benefit of operating a system which was constructed almost entirely in the late 20th century.

Considering that maintenance ultimately boils down to looking at things that are currently working and throwing them away so they don't stop working, it's easy for a manager looking to cut costs to decide to try to avoid ("defer") maintenance and gamble that things don't break down.
What do you think of Dolphin and its team as a console dev?

You think Amazon wants to arrest it's customers because they shared account information?
That would depend on how what that person said affects their relationships with co-workers (e.g. someone went on a racist Twitter tirade that all their co-workers read, some of whom belong to groups they were disparaging)
That's probably wishful thinking. I haven't checked Amazon's terms of service, but nowadays you can count on both of these being true:

- you agreed to arbitration

- you agreed to disallow class action lawsuits

I.e. thanks to the Supremes[1]:

As a result, businesses that include arbitration
agreements with class action waivers can require
consumers to bring claims only in individual
arbitrations, rather than in court as part of a
class action.

For me, dwarf's state machine debug encoding was a direct inspiration for my work on the Android Dalvik dex debug data, which I made sure to recognize in its documentation:

https://source.android.com/devices/tech/dalvik/dex-format.ht...

Encoding the dex debug data this way meant we could keep all the debug symbols on our early devices with limited storage, which helped a lot during 1.0 development.

I always thought people in our industry should loudly shout out their references more. I'm glad I did.
There's no reason to assume he wasn't using 2FA. The title says "backdoor" and that's the point: they didn't verify identity... they asked for name, email and a nearby address.

Customer support is what Amazon adds to the otherwise simple service of operating an online catalogue, stocking products and sending them out when ordered.

As you can see here, they are not doing a good job even in that department. Taking huge profits for basically failing.

I have called this a lose-lose in the past.

So -- be good and stop using amazon!
I personally think what Zappos is doing wouldn't work in a lot of businesses.

Holacracy to me sounds like Agile or DevOps. Maybe one or two places are doing Agile/DevOps correctly and everybody else is just doing some kind of bastardize form of Waterfall, or as they call it at my place, "AgileFall".
Do you have numbers to support that? I'm not more than a casual user of twitter or vine, but anecdotally it seems like lots of people browse vine.
Others have said this well but I’ll emphasize that the article doesn’t present the case that it’s failed or failing – there is a ways to go to find that out. If their service starts to suffer, then we have a signal, perhaps.

This may turn out selecting for the right people. I’ve learned as a manager in a growing company that a lot of people really like traditional hierarchy, and for understandable reasons. I’ve learned to respect and work with that. It’s not my way, per se, but I get it.

HandmadeCon videos – game programmer interviews
Doctors in general are generally cautious. The problem can be traced to a small number of corrupt doctors who decided to abandon their medical scruples so they could make very lucrative livings as semi-legal dealers of high-grade narcotics.

The Feds eventually cracked down on this racket, but not before it had spawned a tremendous number of white, middle-class addicts who found themselves turning to the black market in heroin for their fixes. These people, in turn, are running headlong into the insanely punitive legal structures developed to terrorize, brutalize, and demonize black users when crack became a thing in the 80s.

Given a choice between accepting the punishments they were happy to dole out to others or abandoning this particular vector for racism, bigoted white people are deciding they can find other ways to keep the spirit of Jim Crow alive and well. For them, the Drug War has failed not because it failed to get rid of drugs (that was never the point) but because it's no longer as discriminatory as it used to be.
HandmadeCon is a small convention where Casey Muratori (of Handmade Hero) interviews game programmers. What I enjoyed was the way Casey drives each interview deep into the gory details of gamedev - how they did their asset pipeline, how their builds worked, how their networking handled errors, etc. Great stuff.

I don't think this was always true. Torture used to be taboo in entertainment. I think that changed after September 11 - you started to see it used extensively by supposed 'good guys'. I remember noting this when the show 24 was coming through - it broke that rule and polite society seemed to have been disarmed to it. And now it's everywhere and we're the poorer for it.
Reproducing when the result will end up in a damaged child, or one you can't support, isn't maladaptive?

This is what I mean - we can obviously prioritize our needs and put a lid on biological drives when social needs demand for, pretty much everything else. Why is it so strange to expect that same restraint when it comes to sex?

Unless it turns out that profits are directly proportional to creator happiness, why would a for-profit company use that as the primary metric in deciding the compensation of managers?

I am willing to bet there is correlation between the two, but not enough to make it as a primary metric.
The OP says he is "a security conscious user who follows the best practices like: using unique passwords, 2FA, only using a secure computer and being able to spot phishing attacks from a mile away..." yet I do not think he enabled 2FA on Amazon.com.

I am glad that employers that mislabel employees as independent contractors are paying for their mistakes, but I am always a little disappointed when these articles appear.

I am an adjunct professor, but I also have a full-time job as a programmer that has spanned almost 30 years. Wikipedia says "adjunct professors are often nominated in recognition of active involvement with the appointing institution, while they are employed by government, industry, a profession or another institution" and that definition fits me perfectly.

Sad articles about the "plight of adjuncts" come out frequently, but I hope people understand that there is another side to the equation. The opportunity to work with motivated and passionate students that really care about the material is absolutely amazing, and it is a great way to give back to the community. I have stayed in touch with a lot of students over the years, and it is incredibly gratifying to hear how their careers have developed.
I agree with you for companies that require a lot of capital. In technology companies where, often, ideas, perspectives and vision are assets, I think you want someone in the company who can give you that guidance, to tell you what the customers want, and when they want it.

After all, if I was going to do what I think is profitable, I don't think accepting a pay check from the company is worth giving up the entire upside of my own ideas - I'd quit and do my own thing. If I knew what customers wanted, and the company didn't, why stay?

You could have a situation where the sales people talk directly to the developers. If sales team were the managers, then they tend to over-promise. If engineering was in charge, then what they build tend to be out-of-touch with their market.

Taking out the manager is to bet that sales team and engineering team can work with each other directly with equal clout, and be able to maintain that equilibrium.

But for my own situation, if the founders decided to quit and promote me (and everyone else) to lead the company as a holacracy, providing only salary and no equity, I'd quit. I could work on my own ideas by myself with all of the equity, why do it in a company where I have none?

For one, I simply like hearing his voice I think. But of course he is a good director as well. There is something different about his approach, and it seems he is more passionate about the topics, he goes all in and becomes rather obsessed about stuff. He also appears compassionate towards his subjects. In his documentaries about the capital punishment, for example, he tried not to take sides or be accusatory, at least not in an obvious in your face type way.
