Nail on the head right here. The only thing Dropbox has these days is consumer confidence in it's syncing process. Beyond that, they trail every competitor feature-wise and frankly, they are succeeding despite their management, not because of it. Recent product enhancements have been, let's be honest, mediocre at best across the board and show no signs of that changing anytime soon. They exist now solely due to brand recognition when it comes to cloud file sync'ing and the moment one of their competitors cracks the consumer confidence equation with the brand image to match, Dropbox is done.

> once you've signed that deal for the huge late-stage VC cash infusion at a fantasy-land valuation, there's no going back.

Can't you just raise money at a lower valuation (the dreaded down-round)? You might lose the employees who bought options at the unicorn valuation, but it wouldn't necessarily kill your business.
> You can't erase student loan debt with bankruptcy

You can, though its harder than many other categories of debt. That you can't is a popular myth which makes the problem worse, since it discourages people from looking into the possibility of doing so.
Im a bit of a contrarian in this area. I know Ray Kurtzweil thinks we advanced as much in tge last 14 years as the previous 100, but thats tosh. What amazing new technologies have we developed even since the 70s? Silicon chips? Genetic enginering? Rocketry? Solar power? Nuclear power? All those are baby boomer technologies. What advances from the last 30 years even come close to those? I think the truth is we discovered most of the exploitable physics in the mid 20th century and from now on it will be mainly iterative improvement.
That's a popular Head-fi recommendation, as well as their sibling the KSC-75 (same drivers).

The great thing about headphone audio nowadays (as opposed to just 10 years ago) is there are quite a few low cost options that sound great. Unfortunately they're not well known unless you do some research.

That said, if you want top-tier audio out of something extremely portable that isolates to a degree, I cannot recommend Sennheiser's IE800 highly enough. I've spent many a kilobuck over the past 15 years and these are some of my favs. Not cheap at $800 retail (used in the $500-600 area), but totally worth it if you listen often while working. I have other IEMs that cost 2-3x as much and prefer these.

Most of time I use these in conjunction w/ Roon audio player and a Tidal sub straight out of the headphone port of my 13 rMBP - total audiophile bliss.

> Of course, by the end of the month, none of the men wished to continue. This type of extreme calorie cutting combined with intense exercise “is not a sustainable program in the long term,” Dr. Phillips said. “It’s more a kind of boot camp,” he said, manageable in the short term by people who are very committed and generally very healthy.

No no no.. don't diet.. change your lifestyle. Drinking a fancy shake for a month is a diet. Never touching Soda again is changing your lifestyle.

One works for the long term, one does not.

Audiophiles rag on Bose pretty hard. It's easy to see why if you look at their product line. They have home theater systems, but all of them use tiny plastic cube speakers that trade sound quality for unobtrusiveness. They have soundbars and waveboxes. Bose 901's are arguably their "flagship" audiophile product, but these are designed to bounce additional sound off your walls to make your room sound like a concert hall. The problem is that nobody masters recordings for speakers that intentionally add reverb. These gimmick speakers are designed to wow in the showroom with the right tracks, but do you really want everything you hear to sound like it's in a concert hall?

Bose simply doesn't target audiophiles. They don't make audiophile products. However, they've carved out a niche for themselves that makes them billions every year. That niche is basically one step removed from snake-oil. Bose has somehow managed their image so that people think Bose really can cram audiophile-grade performance into precisely the kind of tiny, plastic boxes no other audio company can get halfway decent sound out of. Bose fails as hard as anyone else at that, but somehow people believe they've succeeded and line up to buy their products. Whatever Bose is doing for advertising, it's elite. This article is probably an example of what they're doing.
Hirazi WebTech – Web artistry is on
Fundamentally, any enterprise today has to deal with OLTP data, OLAP data (transactional plus other sources), Streaming and finally machine learning. Our premise is that you can choose to use 4 different platforms for each one or move to a unified platform. Spark offers streaming, it offers Spark SQL and there are a bunch of machine learning libraries available on Spark. Also, everyone who has anything to do with data has a connector to Spark so it becomes a good data integration platform. The API is uniform across these. So it forms a good substrate for what we are trying to do. As for bugs, it is a platform that is growing rapidly , going through some growing pains, and over a period of time, it will mature. We believe that the core capabilities will become powerful over time (SparkSQL, Streaming etc.) It is a somewhat opinionated choice but one that we think will pan out over time.
Yeah, that looks too much like blunderbuss by Fairlight.

This has long ceased to be true at many American universities. The dorms command a premium because they're on-campus (short walk to class and dining halls, many of which are right in the dorms) and they foster an integrated social environment that you can't fully appreciate when living off-campus typically.

Dorms are also becoming increasingly luxurious in some cases. In my old college suite, we had maids come by every morning to take out our trash and recycling and every weekend they'd thoroughly clean the entire bathroom, shower, sinks, and toilet. Just to be clear, these were private bathrooms in individual suites that they'd clean, not just the shared communal bathrooms.
What if -- hold your breath! -- Dropbox is simply a medium-sized, privately held, profit-generating company that will end up satisfying a certain customer segment and paying dividends to investors? The horror!
In the past 12 months, I've been up as much as 4% and am currently down 11%. The allocations in foreign stocks, emerging markets, and natural resources are killing me lately.
In both groups %50 of their calories came from carbohydrates. Carbs are quick sugar energy, and the resulting rise in blood sugar tells the body that it has plenty of energy.

This would have been much more interesting if one group had low to zero cards, and high fat and high protein.

Such a diet has worked well for me to lose a hundred pounds in 8 months... without any exercise. (and I don't think I'm losing muscle.)

The question is- can you cut carbs and become fat adapted (Which is what I have done, and the results are dramatic, my bodies response to fat is much different than before)... while still building muscle.

This is the next phase for me- the second hundred pounds I want to lose I will do while working out and building muscle.

In my case, this change in diet has become a change in lifestyle. I'm perfectly happy eating steak and BBQ and when I get a hankering for a pizza I make it with almond flour and have very little carbs. It's easy and fun and I'm eating better now (and saving money) while feeling much better.

Like the people in the study I've also recently started experimenting with a shake. It's called "Keto Chow" and you can find the recipe at diy.soylent.com. The nice thing about this is that I put my daily vitamins in the shake and some supplements so I'm getting better nutrition than I was before.

This is taking essentially no effort. Before when I dieted (low fat, high carb standard "diet") it was very difficult because it took a huge amount of willpower.

This takes almost none.

Of course, exercising will take willpower so I'm finding exercises that I like to do. Dancing is my aerobic approach. Not sure what I will do for muscle building yet, though, because lifting is kinda boring. (but I do have dumbbells next to my chair and I pick them up and exercise a bit when I'm thinking.)

I think the whole theory of "calories in < calories out" is BS-- people are different and some people are more sensitive to insulin the others.
Functional Reactive Intuition – Swift Edition
I don't know defrauding 1000's of people for years while keeping everyone in the dark including most if not all of your employees and making yourself look like a functioning legitimate business as far as casual financial inspections go sounds pretty hard to me, at least as hard as running an actual investment fund.

Regulators probe the market constantly if your trades don't add up at all you'll get caught in a minute lasting years and managing to steal 100's of millions or even billions of dollars doesn't seem something anyone could just pull off, I think you underestimate the intelligence and skills required to run these sort of scams.
It sends a message that the company is more interested in culrivating fanbois than winning customer satisfaction. That's cool as long as there are more fanbois than cars, but at some point the company needs to sell to the larger public, and I for one am spooked a bit. I'll fore Musk as a vendor before he fires me as a customer. When Nissan screws up they apologize and fix my Leaf free, they don't cut me off for hurting their brand image.

I'm not a tax expert, but I think dropbox would have to be a foreign company in order for them to purchase it with foreign cash and avoid tax problems.
shifting the goalposts

i didn't say student loans are overpriced, i said a student loan is lower risk than most other types of loan, since it is non-dischargeable debt.

That is the argument i'm making and your response doesn't address any of it.

also, in case you arent aware, the overwhelming majority of student loan debt has been financed through federal and state government programs, not the private market "in which sellers viciously compete to provide the lowest possible price" as you seem to believe
What I see from many of your comments, and why I think you're getting so much opposition, is that you are suggesting we should be satisfied simply being programmers while many people here on Hacker News want to be more than that.

The reality may be that many of us are just programmers and that the real struggle isn't with the project management but with our refusal to accept our role. I can't argue with that. We can't all be architects; someone has to lay the bricks and you can spare yourself some trouble, and even find some satisfaction, by accepting that from time to time someone will tell you to lay the bricks the other way. But I wouldn't demean people for wanting to do more.

Personally, I don't find programming very fulfilling. I don't get satisfaction from producing a sufficient quantity of code, but from solving sufficiently challenging problems. Coding a means-to-an-end for me, just a medium to express my thoughts and ideas like pen and paper to an artist. When my job became more about bullet-point features and timelines than the problems the system was supposed to solve I struggled. A lot. In fact I started looking for new problems to solve in lieu of the ones I had been working on, like why the project was struggling and how to convince the project managers they were just digging us deeper into technical debt.

Fortunately I'm being moved to another team as part of a restructuring in our organization and had the opportunity to explain my perspective to my new manager, who suggested I could be put on more of a leadership track. Will it happen? Will it be better? I don't know, but trying means I can see if my current employer wants to see what else I can offer and help me grow or if they just want me to sit down, shut up, and spit out some code.

The beauty of open source is the we do not have to guess. Take a look at the source. GemFire offers some amazing capabilities and it would be foolish to not use them, but the integration of Spark into the platform is fairly deep and we intend to contribute things back to Spark over time. But marketing is not complaining :)
Wow. We are literally working on the same problem described in this post.

Sony's studio headphones are seriously underrated. I suspect because they aren't marketed to the hip and trendy crowd. They actually look pretty ugly (like a 1970s reject) but they work so freaking well.

I've had mine for twenty years, no issues, no frays, and I'd replace them with other Sony studio headphones if something were to happen.

The cord is a beast. I'm not worried about it failing.
Inbox is pretty darn minimalistic, and it's batching 'done' action makes inbox 0 pretty easy.
Wow that suspension is amazing. If you don't have the time to watch the entire article you should at least watch the video demonstration.

I wonder why they don't integrate it into ambulances. In that application cost or weight shouldn't matter as much.
Yep. The MDR-7506 and the similar Sony MDR-V6 are stellar choices. Might as well listen to the music on the same headphones that were likely used when they recorded it.
Andrea's been working on this since before Elixir was 'a thing'.

Erlang would indeed be a fine language to implement this kind of thing with.
I agree. The whole Carousel thing has just been really confusing. It's telling me Carousel is deprecated, but there is simply no way to "go back" to Dropbox -- you still have to use it to synchronize photos to Dropbox. Stupid stuff.

The only reason I use Dropbox is that it is not made by either Apple, Microsoft or Google, so I can sort of trust that there will be client support for all platforms.
Still won't render correctly in Chrome.
Dropbox is much cheaper than either Office or an Apple device.

Also (correct me if I'm wrong), the stability of SnappyData will depend more on GemFireXD (related to Apache Geode), the in-memory database that has been integrated with Spark to form SnappyData, then it will depend on Spark. GemFire has been in development for over a decade and has a multitude production use cases.
As far as I can tell web services returning json is the standard way to separate business functionality and UI. also, bootstrap is a pretty common library that allows your webpages to respond to different size browsers pretty easily. After that you get into choices that are language dependent. Angular JS, knockoutjs, react others are frameworks(using loosely) in the browser. There are a lot of MVC frameworks for the Server including java based ones(groovy/grails). Then, for native you need to decide whether you might want a mobile platform that can be used for both iOS and Android. Cordova, Corona, Titanium, Xamarin.

What's especially insidious about this logic is the fact that poor people in Venezuela have no international voice; if you're hearing complaints, they must be from the relatively well-off. That much is probably true, but look how that logic works to support the ineffective government of Venezuela: the well-off aren't complaining that it's too hard to buy BMW sedans. They're complaining that they can't fucking buy toilet paper. You think that means the poor people can? Or, what, food and toilet paper are bourgeois concerns?

The Apache Software Foundation Announces Strong Momentum; with a New Look
The difference there is that the videos told an entirely fabricated story. Treating this as merely a partisan issue is misdirection.

The people who made the anti-abortion video in question broke a variety of laws (unrelated to whistle-blowing), and made up a narrative that was completely at odds with reality.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-plannedparenthood-texas-id...

On the other hand, the videos and documentation that ag-gag laws are intended to outlaw are videos that are merely displaying the illegal/unethical behavior of factory farms; they outlaw (or attempt to outlaw, as they may not hold up in court) protected free speech. If someone were to break a variety of laws unrelated to whistle-blowers and fabricate stories about factory farms, then you could compare it to that anti-abortion video.
Yes, the payments are interest, so you need to pay tax on these even if you reinvest in further loans.
There is a solution and it's very simple:

- Kill the parasites.

Producers are taxed at nearly 50% rate[income + sales tax + property + wage + others] on what they make. If we kill off the parasites, then we would have to work almost 50% less to have the same standard of living as we have now. Imagine: 20 hours/week. You could work 2-3 days and then enjoy the rest. Or 1 person could work and the other one would stay at home and take care of their children.

It makes sense to reward people you love and who are productive. But, these are parasites and the correct course of action is to, not reward them with cash and goods we producers make, but to kill them and enjoy our lives.

Don't you agree?

Now this is interesting to me! I found Yeti last year when looking for a practical strict ML in which to write a small utility. It didn't fit my requirements at the time due to the JVM dependency but I made a note to try it later for some JVM task. I see that it has had a new release since, which makes me want to try it more still.

Could you share a little more feedback about what using the language was like? Did you like it overall? If you've used Standard ML or OCaml (OCaml-Java), how would you say it compares?
Companies like that don't usually hire 600 people in 12 months, though.

Never had the headphones, but somebody gave me a pair of desktop speakers and I've been very disappointed. They sounds "as if" they are awesome, that is pack a lot of bass into a little box, but the sound comes out over-bassed and muffled. I play a lot of roots-reggae and I can hear the bass real well, but everything else is very hard to make out. So what Bose seems to be good at is marketing and tricking the customer into saying "wooow".

It's the Go fanatics who are the ideologues here. Anything Go has is important, anything it doesn't have is trivial. What a horrible attitude to bring into any kind of technical discussion.

I've defended Go against detractors who say it's worthless because it has mandatory GC or doesn't have generics (which I do consider a weakness but not a fatal one). There's nothing particularly wrong with Go, but there's not all that much special about it either and it does have flaws. Can you name some other feature that (a) distinguishes Go from Every Other Language and (b) matters? Something that might sway a CEO, as we were discussing? "Goroutines" perhaps? Riiight. That CEO will be really impressed. Don't project your bias onto others.
