Uber Picks Up Another $200M from LetterOne to Push into Emerging Markets
B2C ecommerce in China is fiercely competitive. Taobao (Alibaba's domestic B2C ecommerce platform) is successful (occupying the place that Amazon's and eBay's third party seller businesses play in the US) , but it's far from the only player.
Ok they are affiliated entities, but the it seems relevant to me how they are affiliated. Since the manager is owned by the fund, it seems there is an argument that the entirety of the manager's business is an expense to the fund, just like if a company buys its own airplane and hires its own pilots and ground crew, instead of flying commercial all the time. Or like how Apple bought a bunch of semiconductor companies to design chips in-house, instead of just buying off-the-shelf components.

Reducing costs is typically one of the main reasons one organization buys or incorporates a subsidiary, instead of just going into the marketplace for what they need. Will that now be illegal if it reduces the total tax payments of the formerly separate organizations, as a side effect? That seems like a pretty dramatic intrusion into business decision-making.

News magazines have always been about that kind of thing, and are generally better at it than newspapers.

I finally was able to start my software development career in my early 30s and I found happiness working on a small team where there's a lot of work that needs to be done.

I can't necessarily do things the best way every time, but we have enough difficult problems to solve and its always appreciated when we make the marketing team's job easier. I love that my work either directly translates into more cash coming in or saves us a bunch of cash.

I'm a mediocre developer and okay with that I guess. I know that my potential is way higher, but I also feel like there's some greater calling out there in my life that is not my job/career.

It takes the edge off that feeling you're experiencing -- I definitely felt the exact same way in previous jobs.

7 Habits I Wish Every (Junior) Programmer Should Have

When I first met my fiance a few years ago, I had been on my 40ish online date and she her 3rd. I had all these rules about gauging girls' interest, mostly to protect myself from pain of rejection. Wait a day or two, text, not more than 2 lines, wait for a few hours, if no response, remove number promptly from phone. After every successful date, I sent my fiance a text asking her out again or to make small talk and I would get a response back anywhere from 9 hours to 24 hours and sometimes up to 48 hours later. The joke I tell people about our early courtship is that I deleted my fiance's number 10 times. Once I decided that her unpredictable texting shouldn't be a dealbreaker, life got much easier. After a while I just accepted that she's a horrible texter, and still remains one to this day.

Some people just aren't big on technology, as crazy as that sounds. My fiance doesn't work in tech, doesn't have a laptop, barely uses her phone. In fact, its one of the things I have come to love about her because it has helped me detach and be more mindful.

The doctor will know more, but they spend far less focus on it. They are also biased to over prescribe medication (at least in the US) to an extreme extent. The bias alone is reason to second guess all judgments. (Really, go look into the over-medication of young children with off label prescriptions. And part of the issue is that it isn't just the doctor pushing for it, often the parents want a cure all pill as well.)
Our Social Need to Share Our Thoughts and Opinions
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. That it may not be attempted? The step from walled gardens to demanding that the the gatekeeper keeps out certain crypto apps is small. Especially if they start with a small blacklist and contiously expand it. Similar to domain blocking (first child porn, then piracy, then leak sites...)

Mandating that they (or carriers) should not turn a blind eye because terrorists/think of the children is not a big leap either, because ostensibly rooting is a security flaw anyway.

That way only apps compliant with government regulation (read: backdoored) would run on most devices.

Sure, a small percentage of people might still find their way around it. But should we only care about the most tech-savy while leaving everyone else exposed to a snooping government?
> Seems like a no-win situation all round, really. If you take it, you're encouraging his behaviour (and making him feel like you're indebted to him). If you reject it you're going to find out how he deals with rejection, which, particularly in drunken scenarios, can literally be dangerous to you.

Yeah. A number of my female friends stay away from bars for that reason.

> I've talked to a few girls about this. While some are absolutely just out for all the freebies they can get, others have said that men will get increasingly aggressive when you turn down offers for stuff like that - like they insist on being "a provider" and you turning that down is an insult to their manhood.

This is really an unhealthy cycle. I don't understand why this is tolerated socially, at all [particularly] in a work environment.
Well, Vanguard is a big player as well. A very big player, literally trillions of dollars it manages.
The Universal Postal Union is part of the UN. Certain countries get favorable treatment, based on being designated "transitional" under the current agreements. China is currently "transitional".

I suppose, technically, it's not a subsidy, but it works like one by setting a fixed, unrealistic cap on rates from the receiving country.

Does the Washington Post count as credible?

Edit: I have only anecdotal evidence of the other subsidies I mentioned...the Chinese side ones. We buy a lot from China.

For a less biased view about why Vanguard really does do things wrong in the eye of the law even if it sounds perfectly reasonable to you and me, try this: http://www.joshuakennon.com/vanguard-accused-of-nearly-35-bi...
Yes, it does identify how much they overcharge.

But the law is there for a reason, to prevent tax dodges. Like selling a patent to fully owned foreign subsidiary in a low tax jurisdiction for $1. Then having that subsidiary collect royalties of millions from the parent domestic company. The expenses (of the royalties) are deducted, and tax is only payed on the much lower profit. The foreign subsidiary pays local (lower) taxes and keeps the profits in a foreign account. This is clearly a tax dodge. If you allow the IRS to levy tax on market rates for patent transfers and royalties, they can can redo the accounting to figure out what a fair tax would have been without the accounting games.

I'd really like to see the law changed to allow Vanguards actions (presuming they are indeed in violation) but I'd also be worried about adverse consequences.

This is all speculation, on my part (certainly not an expert in this area)

In the article they say that "Contextual variability can strengthen retention [15] and generalization of skills", but that they "chose to increase sensorimotor variability while maintaining constant the original learning context."

They also mention that "attributing errors to internal sources can strengthen learning [19, 20] and generalization [21] of motor behavior"

My guess for an autodidact would be how powerful internal attribution is compared to the change in context and exploration of the sensorimotor space. Of course, they're probably not discrete, and probably also impact one another.

Sounds like some really interesting possible implications, and possibilities for further research. Really makes me want to reread the article and go through some of the articles they cite
I am not so sure there is a fundamental difference between what the article proposes and what you describe.

You start by saying this will not work, then in your description of what you do, there are many places where you estimate - or should I say guess? - what is feasible, and when.

The methods described in the article are analysis and extrapolation from experience, with an emphasis on identifying those areas that are most problematic due to some combination of uncertainty, importance and dependency, and giving them priority. You don't seem to be doing anything very different. Nowhere does the article say you have to schedule weeks or months on this.
Square one, being, in your opinion cramming all of the dependencies together in one place? There is a big advantage to immutable dependencies though... Your code NEVER breaks. If the dependencies are immutable, and the architecture stays the same, then your code will run. Of course, you can still use apt-get or another package manager to build your images, so the whole updating of dependencies thing is no worse than where you started. It's just, you have the option of not changing things, and not breaking things as well.
Oh, sorry. Yes. I think, I'm with you on this. I didn't meant to say about the quality of this approach. I just meant that Docker has its means to not duplicate by having shared base layers - so we can say the problem [mostly] didn't exist in systems Subuser had started from - but it's completely another matter whenever the approach it takes is good or not.
Agreed, and here's a git alias I made for the occasion:

merge-pr = "!f() { git fetch $1 $2; git branch _FETCH_HEAD FETCH_HEAD && git rebase HEAD _FETCH_HEAD && git checkout master && git merge --ff-only _FETCH_HEAD; git branch -d _FETCH_HEAD; }; f"

Syntax: `git merge-pr <remote> <branch>`. You can copypaste url + branch from github's UI above the merge button.

Note: This merges only to master, no way to specify another merge target. Feel free to suggest improvements.

Are you a male 20-something or a female 20-something?

The male 20-somethings I know are largely chill and don't really care how a woman reaches out.

The female 20-somethings I know (both as friends and as romantic partners), on the other hand, universally prefer a text. They feel a phone call puts them on the spot; they call it "awkward" or "weird". In most cases, they'll only accept the phone call if they're already into the guy. If they're unsure about the guy, he's probably ensured he's going to get a negative response.

And, of course, this is probably not universally true of all female 20-somethings, but if you are courting, it's better to play the game by the numbers.

After the initial courting phase, I've found things to be a bit different and more dependent upon the individual. That's the time to show your own preferences rather than play the game.
Javaworld: 8 cool tools for devops success
Schools don't have teaching the basics as their primary purpose. They aren't even there for facilitating learning in general - if they were, they'd look a hell of a lot different. For one thing, they'd drop basically all the structure they provide and replace it with independent study and tutoring.

No, the primary purpose of schools is to teach children how to be controlled by authority figures. As a side bonus, it watches over children for a large period of time. Controlling parents insist on the state paying for what's essentially day-care, so that's what we get.

I have no clue how to fix things. Best advice I have is to opt out. "Homeschool" your children, don't force them into learning anything in particular, and pay attention to what their actual goddamn needs are.
My main issue with Twitter is it grew out of the weird environment that is San Francisco and has all the baggage of people who live within that. That wouldn't be a problem if the service was a normal startup, but it's a platform for influencing public opinion that delves into journalism and politics. For that reason, I wouldn't want it to be considered a public service, never mind one that serves the world.

The problem is that "Taking care of the gifted kids" is often upper middle class talking about their slightly above the average kids (IQ >125) who they want into special schools.

I'm in the 98th percentile and I thought that I was special flower until I started to study math and physics in university level. I met several people who I would consider actually gifted (IQ above 160 and intellectual curiosity to use that IQ). I quickly realized that my problem had never been my intelligence. It was the arrogance and laziness that came with being relatively smart. I could cope with everything and everyone if I tried even a little.

Many of these actually bright guys (and especially girls) had actual problems in their youth. Taking part of International Mathematical Olympiads allowed them to use their noggin and meet others like them. Getting noticed and the ability to take university classes while minor was the lifeline that gave them purpose and mentoring they needed. They really benefited from being noticed when young.
From $0 and No Idea to $10k in 5 Months with a Full-Time Job
"If it's really worth $5bn, someone will figure out how to get the service there. If it's really worth $100bn, someone will get it there. Let the market settle things with Twitter."

I don't agree with this kind of market-determinism. If a small-message broadcast-based social media service is "really worth $5bn" or "really worth $100bn" is a different question from if Twitter will be that service. Sometimes in order to discover their true utility, services need to change in fundamental ways. I think Facebook is a good example of that; Facebook in 2016 is a different beast than Facebook in 2006. That takes deliberate innovation. But sometimes, when trying to do that, the transformed version has less utility, and the service dies. That's the risk here.

Perhaps you're saying that Twitter should not change at all, and it should continue on its current path?
>After that, I think you will find that you are no longer being stomped in the face every day.

Yeah, all of that is all well and good, for you. What you wrote has no effect on me as I've already made the same realizations way way back. They weren't even conscious realizations worthy of merit. I've just always lived this way.

I don't care about anything in my life except my hobbies. Day job -> piano. I hang out with a couple of people a couple times a year.

Currently saving for a remote cottage way out north so I can isolate myself and work on my music. That's all I want to do.

And that's what I mean about the invisible boot. Just to have a modest dream like that here where I live, I need 250k minimum for the land+cottage and all things included in that.

Even the tiniest dreams are straight impossible. Owning any semblance of a property that is close to the downtown core if you're not a multi millionaire? Hahahahahaha good luck. 0% of my friends will be buying property in their life times, which means they will move further and further away.

The invisible boot is the stagnation of wages and the exploding cost of every day things, combined to shatter any and all dreams.

There's nothing to actually live for, and I don't mean folks like me who are in the unique position of being in a highly paid job without any "life strings". But my friends? It's over, working their entire lives just to maybe afford necessities for that month.

IQ and that kind of intelligence is only really a predictor of how quickly you are capable of learning. Unfortunately, it means very little regarding motivation, ambition, or any of the other traits generally associated with being successful. It's difficult to derive success entirely from pure intelligence, especially with cognitive biases humans are prone to accumulate through experience as they mature.

Most people would say that's why we have society: to prevent misapplied potential in various areas, and to competently leverage mental resources such that everyone can benefit. But people, being imperfect, fuck it up along the way, so we all have our cross to bear, and society becomes shaped by its malignancies.

The phrase "medical data should be free" is a trojan horse. Your medical data is yours and should always be your own -- unless you yourself say otherwise for specified used of specific parts of your data. Otherwise, due to market forces and financial constraints, your data will be turned against you before anything else.

The quality of medical care for the majority of people doesn't depend on the freedom of your data but on the quality of communication between doctors and patients and between health professions. These are low tech problems though for which you cannot get much research funding.
Thats not post-scarcity, just high productivity relative to the past. Which is something people could point to as being true relative to the (comparative) past at many points in history (conservatively, pretty much most since he agricultural revolutions of the middle ages in the West.)

Because misery is empirically shown to be driven largely by relative, not absolute, deprivation -- both compared to one's own past and one's visible surroundings -- greater productively doesn't even approximate post-scarcity (indeed when it was involves greater or more visible inequality, it makes the impact of scarcity more palpable.)
Yes! Thank you! Was starting to think I was crazy.
Banning only the scary-looking guns has no productive effect.

That's rather disingenuous, I am all for banning people buying howitzers and other artillery even if there just big guns. Yes, you can make them with a decent machine shop, but just because some nutjobs are highly capable does not mean they all are.
