Again, the price is intended to be across a network. There will be another U.S. location in the next few months, and then more to come after that.

For Ubud, it's a two-dozen unit, newly-opened boutique hotel with contemporary design and architecture, rooftop open space for dance, capoeira and Bahasa Indonesia or Bahasa Balinese language classes, along with an adjacent vegan, raw food restaurant.

If you want to be on your own, find your own Airbnb or have a private home, that's great. There are lots of options in Ubud, and the rest of Bali. People should find the housing that is right for them. The point of this is to have a larger community with events, communal dinners, activities, and involvement with local institutions and leaders. The space is already evolving as is. Have had two dance classes this week, two acro jams, and a capoeira class coming on Sunday. People are working on their own projects and startups, and organizing nights for talks.

The plan is to have the price be fixed initially, but if we discover seasonality in movement across the network, then we might have to adjust prices based on that later. We'd like to keep it flat for as long as possible.

More feedback is obviously welcome though! This is an experiment to see if we can get people to move in groups to less obvious locations, and then to contribute or integrate with local communities. I personally dislike the "nomad" term, even though I've been technically living this way for 10 years.
This is going to be great for the U.S economy:

http://useconomy.about.com/od/glossary/g/yen_carry_trade.htm

> Definition: The yen carry trade is when investors borrow yen at a low interest rate. They exchange it for U.S. dollars or any currency in a country that pays a high interest rate on its bonds. They receive a low-risk profit when they receive high interest on the money invested, but pay low interest on the money borrowed. The broker pays the difference into the account each day the trade is open

>The yen carry trade is alive and well in 2015, but not with the U.S. dollar. That ended in 2008 when the Federal Reserve dropped the Fed funds rate to near zero. It continued with high-yield currencies such as the Brazilian real, Australian dollar, and Turkish lira. For example, many forex traders borrow near-zero yen to buy Australian dollars which have a 4.5% return.

This is where all the money lent out is going to go, from the Japanese negative interest rate to the new slightly above zero U.S bond yield. Keeps the party going for a little while longer. Follow the money.
I've played around with replacing the C library with something more lightweight for small programs (WCRT), but one issue is that you end up with executables that get flagged by some AV software for being "unusual".

I think unless you have a specific need for a small executable, it is usually not worth it.
$1600 will get you a room in more than 10 locations by the end of the year, that's where the real value is. I am actually staying the the Ubud location at the moment. It's very well done, the community is great and location is just right. This is not something you can find on Airbnb.

There are massive differences between male/female brains. Chess world, STEM, imageboard demographics, this forum--90% men, etc show this.

As far as I know, we are very far away from understanding how brain biology affects imageboard demographics. Are you a neurobiology expert? Have you considered any alternative hypotheses? Have you listened to women talk or write about why they avoid the kinds of places you mention?
How do you handle the tax authorities in Germany then:

If you are resident in Germany and you are the main business decision maker in the UK company, German tax authorities would ask to tax you pay corporation tax for the Ltd. in Germany which can complicate things (I am not talking about your personal income tax).

Is this not a big mess or how should one deal with this? Do you frequently travel to UK to do 'main business decisions' there?

Great thread btw

I think Browserify is an excellent tool. It does the one job I generally need it to, importing dependencies so I can write modular JS code. Running it is a one-liner, and running it with Babel is one extra option. Its behaviour is reasonably transparent, so you can look at the actual output and see what is really going on even if source maps aren’t helping for whatever reason.

Personally, I’m not such a fan of Webpack. It trips my “too complicated” alarm, like RequireJS before it. I’ve never worked on a project that needed the kind of dynamic behaviour these tools support, and you pay a price for that flexibility in the complexity of the tool and the output it produces. Likewise, while you can include almost anything as part of your bundled JS output with Webpack, I’ve seen few real world cases where this is a significant advantage, and again you get locked into Webpack and its complexity as the downside. Perhaps on some types of project the features Webpack offers represent more compelling benefits.

For perspective, I’m also not a fan of tools like Gulp, also on the grounds that their ecosystems tend to be fragile and they add unnecessary complexity to what is usually a pretty simply operation in the first place.
By that logic, there is no black Isaac Newton as well. Do you stand by it?
This gender essentialist bullshit is demonstrably false.

STEM is 90% men because of the way young people are socialized and then harassment, discrimination, and oppression that are endemic in the industry.

What about Marie Curie or Rosalind Franklin? If you know jack about the history of computing, what about Ada Lovelace, Margaret Hamilton, and Grace Hopper?
Any chance you can go into detail how you bundle your 3rd party dependencies separately? I have tried that, without much luck.
There is also a selection bias when it comes to the lead gen business model.

The best locksmiths or movers don't usually buy leads. They either have enough word of mouth referrals or have built their own marketing.

Buying leads is typically a very low return on investment decision for companies not planning on using bait-and-switch tactics.

Case-in-point: if you're going to try and disrupt this market, realize your acquisition costs are going to be just as high as the scummy lead gen providers and the high-quality lock smith companies aren't going to want to pay you.
Wow, looks incredibly powerful if you're willing to put in the time to learn. I wish I wasn't so lazy.

We're actually aiming to build UIs that would match this level of complexity (if not even more complex), so it will be interesting to see how this pans out. I'm not massively concerned about it being an issue tbh (though thanks for flagging it) - the real issue that I'm concerned might swallow a lot of our time will be how we implement animations using this architecture (though we're currently looking to React JS for inspiration there).
That's not true. http://inplus.co.uk/rd-tax-credits-foreign-companies/

Classic example of the Baader Meinhof phenomenon. On Saturday night I was trying to explain this theory to someone and I couldn't remember the name of it or the time period.
That kind of a situation seems pretty simple: request data upon review, and actively deny the paper until data has been submitted.

Or shame them academically. You'd be surprised how far that goes.
Estonia sounds great on paper, has a proof of concept (Skype), English skills are good but the ecosystem around their Ltd (OÜ) is not as widespread as eg UK's where you find tons of resources.
Very interesting concept.

I was surprised that most of the open jobs are not remote, I expected the company to be very open about this and possibly even promoting/preferring this, sort of eating your own dog food.

That inflation means decreased real wages is elementary and doesn't need a source support the statement. It completely misses the point, however.

What is needed to have a strong, growing economy with increasing prosperity for more than the one percent isn't high or low inflation, but stable price levels that makes it possible to plan for the long term and make investments into productivity and efficiency. When witch doctors in the Fed, ECB and BoJ arbitrarily manipulate interest rates and thereby inflation, they promote speculation over investment and move wealth to the 0.01%.
Fun fact: GH Pages changed the way trailing slashes work, so all links to my site dotted around the Internet broke as soon as I made a change. I had to update all the permalinks in my post to explicitly include the trailing slash.

This is not that clear cut.

Dollar will appreciate against the yen. This will be advantageous to imports from Japan and disadvantageous to U.S. exports.

I can't speculate on the intensity though.
The idea is that cheap oil would be caused by a worsening economy with less demand for it.
It should be cheaper, but more importantly, we've got to own a share.

It should [also] work like that: you deposit say $200k, you get live in any location described, later on you can sell your share at market price that factors in all the property Roam owns multiplied by your share.

It's like instead of buying a home, you buy a slot in Roam.

Of course you can make shares tiered.
> Citing "low price of oil" as a reason for economic woes just seems like bad science - I though economists were better than this ?

Yes it is, no they aren't

Especially "specialists" commenting in the press.

The problem with Japan is the complete stagnation of their economy. China makes it cheaper, internal consumption is decreasing.

Trying to "create inflation" is pretty much as effective as trying to defibrilate a dead corpse.

I wonder if playing (mono colored) tangram[1] a lot as a kid helped my abilities. My sisters also liked the game and didn't find the typical rotational tasks on IQ tests harder than any of the other tasks.
It's only 2d though, I'd be interested if solving 2d puzzles helps with understanding the 3d questions (like folding cubes).

I'd like to see them compare their course to other tasks that might seem intuitively helpful. Folding origami with instructions is one thing that immediately comes to mind.

I'm actually a web developer at heart, and most of my work here is web related as we move away from this system, but electron is only one part of the equation.

There is still the database, the "server side" code, and unless we are going with isometric javascript, the client side code separate from the server side.

It's just taking some adjustments from a truly monolithic codebase where everything is in one language, one codebase, one "environment", to splitting it up into smaller parts and API-ifying everything to allow an easier separation.

It sounds silly, but even choosing an editor is a task, as providex includes their own IDE! (i'm rooting for atom!)

I'm going to gamble that you're in your 20s, possibly 30s, and male. The rich experience of life will teach you many things in the coming decades, if you are open to receiving the lessons.

For now, no doubt you're in the mood for an empirical, evidence-based ruckus. Arguing only entrenches beliefs, so instead I'll say this: your world is what you make it. If you want to believe what you've written here, you'll see evidence for it everywhere. If you're so right, why would people argue with you? Is it conceivable that everyone is fallible, including you?
If that reporting is accurate (I've no idea or any basis for judging) then yeah, the parent post is amazingly hypocritical.
Regarding Google's Mappers, I find it absolutely absurd that the guy interviewed would spend 10 hours daily and even signing an NDA just to help, as the article says, "one of the world’s richest companies" for free. And then instead of acknowledging his stunt they just ban him. If only he'd discovered freely licenses projects like OpenStreetMap where the data belongs to everyone and where the community is put first. That's why I can't stand crowdsourcing, you're essentially doing free labor just to make some company's crappy data better for yourself. It's a nice bit of social engineering which masks the true beneficiary of the scheme and hides the actual power structure.

> The company is dominated by software coders, and they want to solve the most interesting problems, or create the coolest products.

This remark also rings true for software in general, no one wants to maintain "legacy" code or do maintenance in lieu of new features. That's why we have so many rewrites and NIH syndrome. Of course higher-ups incentivize this because it makes it look like the products are growing and innovating, leading to cruft like a random program evolving to send email.
Map tiling puts the New York Times archive online
This was news.... 3 days ago. I don't understand how it's rocketing up the HN front page only now.
I don't disagree, but I love contrarian opinions, and I'm reminded of a video I saw from a talk at an old RubyConf (I think). The talk was about beauty and aesthetics in code. It described some principles of beauty—simplicity, elegance, clarity, etc—and explained how these qualities also describe good code. But I loved that someone from the audience after the talk asked the question, what about more postmodern notions of beauty? Is there anything missing in this classical picture?

It's just an interesting question. One way to start thinking about it is to consider the role of the author in both coding and postmodern texts: we can't really point to a clear notion of an author anymore. Who's the author of any given file in the Linux repository? There might be dozens of people involved. Maybe they together give rise to some emergent super-author, shaped by the code itself and its culture... Maybe different styles intersect and collide and create some kind of fruitful chaos. And so on.

So one hypothesis is that classical beauty in code might lead to problems in cooperation. Like, this code is so perfect that I don't want to touch it. Or the literate elegance of this module intimidates me as a non-native speaker. Lots of interesting issues.
As as aside, there's a good list micro-frameworks and

Expensive oil is bad for the economy because it's expensive to produce things.

Cheap oil is bad news for the economy, because it's an indicator in a fall in production, if the reason it's cheap isn't because of new fields, but because of lower demand.

Even if it is due to new sources (e.g. fracking) the perception that it's an indicator of global production may be sufficient to override any realistic benefits.
Oil price is a symptom of some other underlying problem.

During $100+ oil the problem was that supply couldn't satisfy the market (mostly due to Chinese growth and demand for energy). This raked the price up not just for the Chinese, but for everybody. Which was bad if your factory needs oil to produce your widgets: higher production cost leads to either thinner margins (and hence less future investments) or higher prices (and hence lower demand and ultimately - thinner margins).

So ok, the oil companies invested in expanding capacities, built refiners, oil rigs, etc. to satisfy demand. But now the world doesn't need as much of it as it used to. Well, shit. That means you still have to pay off loans for your new and shiny oil rigs, but you can't sell as much oil as quickly. What does that mean? Thinner margins.

Ad nausem.

The "price" is reputation, and your name on a paper. It's a market of influence and prestige!
What's needed for Webpack 2: better documentation.
If it's cheap because demand is low, and you work in an industry which is susceptible to world demand, then a low oil price might mean your industry might be about to enter a downturn. So while you might be happy about the cheap oil, you might worry about your job prospects.

Those yen loans will buy our bonds though. This will increase credit availability. The whole system runs on credit availability. The housing bubble should have made that clear.
Your instincts are not wrong, believe it or not. Unfortunately most economists fall short of the current state of their science. The first thing one needs to understand about economics is how rife it is with special pleading from selfish interests, because the output of economic science is so important to justifying public policy prescriptions. One thing that is constantly ignored is how government fiddling with the interest rate has a way of warping the capital structure into unsustainable configurations. You don't need an economics Nobel Prize to know that when Venezuela puts price controls on food the grocery stores go empty. But there are much more powerful special interests served by price controls on borrowed capital, so a lot of effort goes into willfuly bad "economics" aimed at justifying the practice.
> STEM is 90% men because of the way young people are socialized and then harassment, discrimination, and oppression that are endemic in the industry.

That's just a theory.

My theory is that it's not gender but differences in hormone balance, meaning circuits is same but without sufficient level of hormone needed to drive them, they won't function well.

Testing this theory should take much shorter time and less resources than yours. Another interesting yet controversial test could be whether raising the need for the circuits to work can change hormone balance.
lol, those truths are too inconvenient, here drink the silicon valley kool aid with the rest of us.
Opening a bug about someone's embarrassing double-entendre in a non-native language usage and then asking everyone to comment is bullying and technically sexual harassment. Not wanting to be accidentally thrown into the situation of having made a statement that is misinterpreted as a sexual taboo isn't just a problem for particular genders.

Its all very fun to build pet theories about the reason for a lack of gender diversity, but doing it in official tools by casting attention on an individual for what is a really a random consequence of language that only a native speaker would even notice is the juvenile nonsense very similar to the problem to supposedly be weeded out. I would absolutely consider banning someone's access to official tools who did this with them, particularly when they clearly understood the actual situation.

If you aren't for a dedicated slang usage, then you also just let the proper usage stand when it accidentally still occurs or you at least don't make a fuss about your choice to change it. I don't even have kids, yet I know this very basic rule of not re-enforcing the power and humiliation of swears.
Python abc.py Puzzle
Having a lot of data is a big incentive to find someone who can analyze it correctly because it will raise the impact of your scientific output. It is not as bad as people describe here. Even large companies need to publish and share in order to show that they know their business and in order to have any shot at a collaboration wit a large hospital (or another company). Such a hospital will also want to publish and share in general. A publication of a company also signals: "Hey come to us, maybe we can work out a deal and provide a nice service based on our work". Yes, there are NDAs, contracts and patents but that company paid a lot of people for their efforts with only a small chance at ROI, it is only fair they are rewarded.

An optimum is often found that favors sharing as little as possible but often "as little as possible" is still quite a lot. Also, how can people label this as unethical when people would not even have gathered the data if they knew beforehand someone would force them into sharing, diminishing the data's return on investment?

I'm also pretty sure the sharing of a complete data set will get you a lot of citations, so there is a financial incentive next to the moral one.
I'm really interested in which "intelligence" metrics can't be trained/learned. It seems obvious to me that playing with the specific blocks or diagrams used in an IQ test helps; and that practicing with one set seems to make me better able to do well with another only indirectly related set.
