Would it not just be easier to dual boot Linux? If you've got a big enough hard drive it works very nicely.
I view apps like this as a transition helper, eventually automated cars will replace uber drivers, etc. However until that tech is fully ready people have to do the jobs. These apps are like creating the interface before the back-end is ready. The real interesting financial possibilities in my opinion about the "gig economy" is
the long term potential for when it's not people who are doing the "gigs".

Of course people should be a lot more friendly to the people who unfortunately have to rely on these "gigs" to get by.
Same model as Costco or Amazon prime.
"Squeezed by cheap oil and regulatory delays, alternative-fuel producers are retooling product lines"
I usually find arguments about how "underrepresented group X in upper management will somehow make the company better" unconvincing, but the downfall of Bear Sterns is a great and decisively convincing example of how a monoculture with a lack of multiple perspectives and backgrounds created a really corrupt and toxic environment. At the very least, the sexism towards women in the corporate culture should've been seen as warning indicator for their business practices as well.

In this case, I think sexism was as much a symptom as a cause, and the larger cultural problems were very destructive to women, men, and the US economy.
> [edit] Also, the API makes less sense because JavaScript isn't statically typed so you can make up the result object on the fly.

But now you need to parse the string and correctly extract named groups before flogging that to the regex engine, whereas the other way around you do some string concatenation then match back on the groups by index.
Yes, it's because modern leftists think government is a god, and couldn't possibly be because they're familiar with the history and think that government regulations have pushed up the standards for crash safety.
What experiment in that paper do you think addresses the issue of selection vs modification? Both require the cleavage of specific DNA sequences, that is all I see reported in Gasiunas et al 2012.
The "apparent trend" doesn't exist

Prove the "apparent trend" exists? Okay, let's try to "prove" it to you. I just did the following google search: site:cnn.com "fraternity members". Let's see what the "apparent trend" is! Starting at the top:

1. Pi Delta Psi members charged in hazing incident

2. Video shows chilling aftermath of university shooting (victims AND actor(s) were fraternity members/pledges, btw)

3. Zeta Beta Tau fraternity members disrespected us, wounded veterans say

4. New clues in death of Clemson fraternity pledge Tucker Hipps (this one's about hazing)

5. Schools knew of trouble before student deaths (hazing)

6. Video shows chilling aftermath of university shooting (same incident as 2.)

7. Sigma Nu frat at Old Dominion suspended for offensive banners

8. SAE brothers at OU facing death threats, assaults, lawyer says (don't get the title wrong, this one is as much about the racist chants of SAE frat members caught on video as it is about the death threats they received afterward)

9. U. of Oklahoma fraternity shuttered after racist chant

10. Fraternities: 'A form of American apartheid' (Opinion)

So, you still think the "apparent trend" doesn't exist? You could get similar results doing an informal poll. Just walk around asking people who weren't in a frat, "What do you think of frats?"

As I said originally, all of this could be biased and misleading and just plain wrong. But not at least saying "Yeah, I admit, frats appear to be pretty fucked up" is just disingenuous and isn't going to convince anyone.

The burden of proof is on the commenter that generalized.. The plural of anecdote is not data... Generalizing that widely without very explicit proof is a pretty poor idea, from an argumentative standpoint.... and if it does I'll ask you to prove it

As a skeptic myself, the fact that so many of us can't seem to understand that human lives and opinions are not run by deductive reasoning and exhaustive proofs really does us a disservice. If you want to change minds and make real change, you should get to know how people think. If you want to be considered an out-of-touch blow-hard, keep on talking about the burden of proof. Trust me, I've been that guy, I know.
I think you mean the 10% - the 1% in the US is a household income of >=$380k/year or so.

1. ~175k is base + bonus, not including retirement stuff.

2. Combination of experience, keeping up to date on new technologies, having a good understanding of both high level functional programming techniques and low level performance.

3. I haven't really figured it out. My cost of living is probably 5k a month but can swing wildly depending on if I take vacations, go out to eat more often, etc. I seem to save plenty though.

4. SE

5. Big Company

5a. Very, except you have to be somewhat pleasant to be around. Not social or gregarious necessarily, just not a jerk from what I've seen. Most people get very turned off from this. I was surprised to see how different interviews seem to go for candidates of similar technical merit but different personalities.

5b. Depends on their aptitude, how much free time they have? A few months to a couple years?
I got into auto repair when I was swindled by an incompetent/unscrupulous mechanic in Austin in the 90s. Haynes/Chilton were quite reasonable starting points to learn the basics. I also spent a lot of time on automotive newsgroups and forums, which is how I absorbed the tribal knowledge such as the anti-seize tip above. E.g. if you own a Honda, you can get excellent help troubleshooting its quirks on honda-tech.com. It is where I learnt how to troubleshoot a failing input-shaft bearing on a transmission and how to find a very cheap interchangeable replacement that got me going again.

It has been a fun journey and it is very nice to see through the utter nonsense most auto repair places spew. I would repeat that a community college course and/or Haynes is a good starting point and then it is off to the forum that caters to your car :).

Ops and Permissioning Toggles – Martin Fowler
I don't know if I agree with the author's thesis (haven't thought enough about it yet) but the comparison seems fascinating regardless. The very first thing that occurred to me was that, while patronage is a central feature of both systems, in Florence it was out in the open while in Silicon Valley it's obfuscated behind a layer of arbitrageurs. Not really sure why anyone would consider that an improvement, either in terms of being less transparent or of having yet another party between the creators and the profit from their work.
> hg came before git, you have your network effect backwards.

Can you explain? Not sure how hg being released earlier changes how many users they have. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect
It happens to me as well (Windows, Chrome) but inconsistently (sometimes, its on time). Looking at the JS, it might be since it schedules to check for updates every 100ms (`timerId = setInterval(update, 100);`) instead of scheduling a callback for the time of the next bar.

Edit: Also, the JS `setInterval` callback can be delayed.

Edit: After debugging their code some more, the above isn't why (though is still inefficient). The audio player (SoundManager) they are using only updates the audio playback time at a rough granularity. If I log the time values, I get the following (all in milliseconds):

0
182.404
681.59
1180.778
1680.963
2179.152
...

The song is 120 BPM which means that the first bar changes is at 2000ms causing the first bar change to be 179ms late.
Are you extrapolating from something that did happen with other organ transplants, or just assuming it would happen even though it didn't happen with other organ transplants?

BTW, one big problem for a rich old guy is, it's very likely that their head is the weakest link, not the body. If the body has cancer which has metastasized, the head is not very useful. If the body has some other problem, it could probably be better solved by transplanting a single organ. And most of all, a rich guy who had all the means to care for his body is very likely to have preserved it in a nice shape but his memory is failing them, etc. etc. An old brain in a new body doesn't sound that great, really, not as a means for life extension. "Just for fun" might interest some generally healthy aging people, on the other hand; these people would be heavily stigmatized though, in all likelihood, even if they managed to get the body and were willing to take all the risks.

I think it could be very useful in rare cases is the upshot.
I'm with you on this one. Although I use React actively I still have problems with the fact that you won't see content of the app without JS on initial load. Sure, there's a matter of isomorphic applications where React renders content on server during first call, however after trying several times implementing it - just ended up abandoning that idea due to how massively complex various things become in certain cases with authorizations for users and so on.
I'm just hearing about this stuff for the first time, and I've never felt a stronger "I want to believe" urge about anything.

That being said, I think the emotional appeal of discovering long lost civilizations is SO enticing that it merits extreme caution when reviewing the science. It's so easy to chain a few mysteries together into a pattern that you have to be very wary of somebody who has proven themselves less than careful in their reasoning. So I understand the scientific community's reticence, even if I share your hope that we can examine the evidence rather than the person.
I presume this is sarcasm, since governments have been pulling this off since time immemorial?
I am surprised the Nest devices allow themselves to be man-in-middle'ed like this. Why are Nest devices accepting a random (valid) certificate? One would think they will only accept a valid Google certificate, signed by the Google root certificate.

Am I missing something? The article does not mention about any software tampering on the device itself.
Thank you! I'll have to check this out. It baffles me that a company such as Docker has yet to make using its primary product on Mac OS X simple plug and play. Needing to remember to run `eval $(docker-machine env docker)` is not a sustainable solution. Hell I know about this and would occasionally forget and become confused at the error messages.

In fact I put this horrible hack into my ~/.bash_profile (I wouldn't recommend doing this but, hey, it works.):

docker-machine start dev

eval "$(docker-machine env dev)"
It's absolutely fair that it's worth it for some people to pay to free up a few hours per week. However, it's equally true that it's not necessarily worth it for others, especially if the outsourcing becomes as much a headache as doing it yourself.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end. With the deaths of several notable celebrities like David Bowie, 2016 is already turning out to look like a miserable year so far, and the results of the Presidential election in November are unlikely to be good, but if Twitter goes belly-up, at least we'll be able to count that as one of the year's high points.

It would be a lot worse than that, actually. In 1960 there were about 720 billion vehicle miles traveled in the US, and these days it's about 3 trillion, an increase of a bit over 4x. In 1960 there were about 36,000 traffic fatalities, so given a bit over 4x exposure you'd see about 150,000 traffic fatalities per year today. That's about 120,000 or $600 billion.

> During sleep deprivation, he says, “The brain, probably because it is so tired, starts to have difficulties gauging its own level of sleepiness.” Eventually, an exhausted brain gives up on sending you signals that it needs rest. You feel OK precisely because you’re not.

If true, I think that's the most important point of the article. If you can't trust your own brain, you can't any claims made by people trying that sort of schedule.

Also, the amount of effort you have to put up with in order to even start sleeping like that suggests me that's unnatural and unhealthy. We may even have some kind of adaptation for that in the short term. Think cavemen who just lost his shelter and needs to find another in dangerous territory. It's conceivable that one could spend a few weeks not sleeping much until conditions improve. Forget about longer term effects, since survival is at stake. So, the brain keeps getting pulled out of sleep due to perceived dangers (in modern times, that's the alarm clock). Then it switches off part of the sleep mechanism so that the subject will have a better chance of moving away from danger.
I've tried polyphasic sleep on a number of occasions over the past couple of decades, with a few different schedules. It doesn't work (for me). Perpetual grogginess becomes the norm, and I always felt tired, occasionally short of breath and prone to heartburn (this one seems weird, but I get heartburn when I'm overly tired in normal circumstances, as well).

The best science I've been able to find on the subject seems to match that experience. Some people can "feel fine" on a polyphasic schedule, but in tests there does seem to be a decline in performance. Slower response times and less accuracy on hand-eye tests, etc. that is similar to the decline experienced by sleep deprived subjects.

I'd love to have several extra hours a day, but from what I can tell, there are trade offs that nullify the productivity and "more time" advantages.
No. There are basically 5 ways make more money as a company. Professional investors usually have a better handle on these than the companies themselves.

Time and time again, companies come up with supply driven theses that give birth to products that fail. Demand driven products succeed. Knowing when to engage in M&A, sell assets, cut costs, expand to new markets and engage in corporate actions requires judgement that few companies have. It's not always about iterating on the product you already have.

Facebook understands this which is why they have made several key acquisitions. They're looking to be the home of the best innovations in social media; whether it comes from internal sources or external teams.

In Twitter's case, they have hit the limit of mind share in most markets. Everyone knows about it; few on the margin have incentives to sign up. Periscope has potential if data costs come down.
Plus, shelves have two (possibly three) dimensions, so you can have organization running vertically and horizontally. The third dimension is into the bookshelf, if you have a bunch of double-shelved paperbacks. I have Jurassic Park shelved next to Frankenstein, with Tolkein up and to the right. The Lord of the Rings is in front of The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and Unfinished Tales.
Cars can be leased with an operating lease that includes maintenance and insurance. This is common for businesses that lease cars and trucks. Businesses get a fixed cost known in advance, and the business doesn't face any unexpected costs. That arrangement would work for self-driving cars.
This has been done before in dogs, and it is pretty creepy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Demikhov. It was the base for the plot of one of the X-files movies.
I used to struggle with this. Then I set up a Vagrantfile and put my docker code in a Vagrant instance. It's just far and away better than any other hack I've tried. File mount point transparency problems? Solved!

Interesting, I've never imagined an identifier could be labeled as logic. There is no need for a scope, if you mean that the outer identifier is logic. Anything could be the identifier and inside the processor you could define anything to be the outer layer. You could flip data-attr and data-scope just as easily, so I'm not sure where there could ever be an argument that those things represent logic rather than markup.

Either way, I _think_ I have a better understand of potential conflicting views. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Major Linux Successes on the Desktop: 2016
Happy to help. I'm Alex Green–the creator of the Sugar Cubes and co-founder of Symmetry Labs.

To your question about how the Sugar Cubes work:

First of all, the game-powered-by-bikes installation at the Super Bowl is a custom game we developed for the Fan Zone at Super Bowl City. Light Cycle is a two-minute interactive light installation experience where players physically generate energy with bikes and hand cranks. It's built from the Sugar Cubes, which are modular cubes that can be reconfigured in any shape and are driven by our proprietary software. (We have built everything from stage sets for live shows and music videos to a giant Cube chandelier for The Foo Fighters last year.)

The Cubes are wired with addressable LED strips and they can display practically any pattern–usually synced with music. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm within our custom software allows the person running the Cubes drive animations using the various frequencies in the music. The cubes can also react to midi input. The structure itself is modeled so that each LED acts as a pixel within a 3D dimensional canvas.

If you get to stop by Super Bowl City in SF, you can play with the Cubes in real-time. (They'll be there until Super Bowl Sunday.) Or you can go to the Symmetry Labs website, play with a simulator, and pretend to be a genre-defying DJ :)

Happy to answer more questions about how the Cubes work! They’re the love of my life right now, the technical possibilities are practically endless, and we have exciting plans to use them in many new ways in the future.
Worse cooling and worse behavior when hot mean that it's much easier to overheat them and experience brake fade compared to disc brakes.
I stopped buying new paper books about a decade before I started buying ebooks. And even then, I would buy maybe a book or 2 per year?

In my first year or two of owning a Kindle, I think I bought more ebooks than I had bought new paper books in my entire life. Even still buying ebooks doesn't give me a fraction of the pause that buying a physical book does. A physical book is a perpetual space commitment, after all.

So I didn't "switch to ebooks from paper," I switched to ebooks from nothing, largely.
I tend to forget that I used to have to sit down, write out a bunch of checks, and post them in envelopes on a regular basis. Or the amount of telephone tag I used to have to play on a regular basis.
It says it is "derived from" and "inspired by" it. But it also says "Our libraries can be linked directly into any standard C++ application" which the LGPL of Qt 4 disallows (unless your application is open source, but then that isn't any application).
This could be done by multiple people. The "trusted party" doesn't need to be one person, it could just be the bitcoin miners of a given time frame (without them agreeing, just use their hash values).

I don't feel that ancient forgotten civilizations make the narrative any more credible.

We know that civilization moved from bronze tools to rockets in several thousand years. If there were ancient civilizations that started much earlier than we think, what the hell were they doing all those years? It's exactly the same as your birds-and-flying analogy, except that now being birds mean having a civilization.

The first step is actually compelling mainstream archeologists to look at the evidence rather than dismissing it outright. There's a fine line between caution and willful ignorance, and its becoming increasingly clear that the latter has been holding up an argument that is increasingly becoming obsolete. That said, I understand the process is a long one and process is important.

If you subscribe to Graham Hancock's Facebook page you'll see a nice stream of mainstream news articles that he's been compiling as of late. Exciting times, like a domino effect. And since you're just becoming familiar, I would recommend reading Fingerprints of the Gods first to get an air of the controversy, and then his new book Magicians of the Gods. Lots and lots of references to look into, and very beautiful, compelling writing, too.
