Though I agree with a lot of his concerns the kicker for me was when he mentioned he is on 10 different Slack teams. That's like signing up for every email list you can find and then complaining that you get too much email.
"The Use of Knowledge in Society" [0], Hayek's famous essay on the subject, is an enjoyable 12-page read. I first read it as an undergraduate economics major, and it remains one of my favorite economics papers for its clear and simple insight into the role of markets as basic mechanisms of social organization.

If you want to get a feel for what the other side of things was like in Hayek's era, I recommend a curious book written a few years ago by Francis Spufford called Red Plenty [1], which illustrates (partly in fact, partly in fiction) the immense ambition of economists at Gosplan, and the even bigger task they faced, as they tried to modernize the Soviet economy of the 1950s and '60s.

We're building a new type of bank: one purposefully designed to help people build liquid assets and escape poverty. We're starting with income volatility, a huge and largely hidden problem.

As our economy trends towards flexible labor, millions and millions of Americans are suffering from tremendously painful income volatility. With Even, these workers can get a steady paycheck, every week, with the job they already have. In good weeks, we automatically set money aside. And in bad weeks, we give our customers credit with no interest.

It's expensive to be poor. We're fixing that, and we need your help.

We're looking for thoughtful full-stack engineers. Email evan@teameven.com if you're interested.
We had issues every few months because the server we were assigned would be added to a RBL. Customers would notice, we'd talk to Mailgun and they would move us to another server. rinse, repeat.

The only way to avoid this was to get a dedicated IP which is an additional $59 / month.

I'm not sure why Mailgun couldn't detect this themselves, maybe they do now.

You will need a full computer with at least a GTX 970 (or an AMD r9 290) and at least an i5-4950 (or maybe an AMD FX 8350). Here's [1] a good guide, but roughly $800 for just the machine.

Then you need keyboard, mouse, monitor, internet, power...

Then you need Windows 10 (roughly $100).

Then you need games, which you will probably get through Steam [2] or through Oculus [3].

That's on top of the ~ $600 for an Oculus Rift, or ~ $800 for an HTC Vive.

> Do you ever get acclimated to the constant soggyness / dampness, the mugginess & the lack of steady bright sunlight even if you were born & raised there ?

I think you have to be born to it. I'm of mostly West Country and Bavarian stock; growing up in the American South, where the cooking's from Scotland and the weather's from India, was hellish for me. I'm in Seattle now, and absolutely loving the cold and damp. I expect I'd enjoy Britain still more, when and if I get the chance to visit or maybe move there, since it offers cold, damp, and history; but I wouldn't want to live in a dry, hot climate any more than a wet, hot one.

To address some of your arguments (the others are quite orthogonal to my original point) :-

>I find it rather ironic and rather reckless really from the developer perspective too that you seem to totally eschew all the risk considerations that Apple takes into account, just ignoring the business decisions they make.

I am not advocating for the abandonment of all security in favour of freedom. And I think there a better balance of security, convinience and freedom is possible than that currently provided by Apple. Still there is a certain trade-off involved between freedom and security. We have to compromise on one to gain the other. Given the choice, I would rather sacrifice a bit of security for greater freedom than vice-versa. (which is ultimately why i chose the android ecosystem over Apple's)

>It is unarguable that the Apple ecosystem is not astronomically more secure and safe and a better user experience than Android for 99.999% of users.

I will agree that from a security and privacy perspective iOS is miles ahead of Android. But i can argue that the iOS doesn't provide a better user experience for 99.99% of users. I will give just one example from my country India (there are many more). Here we are undergoing a explosive growth of smartphone usage driven by low-cost android devices. A lot of this growth is driven by poorer users from rural areas. The thing is even if they could afford Apple devices, they would get a sub-par experience to that provided by Android. Why? Because they often lack the necessary literacy, connectivity or bankability needed to utilize the Apple ecosystem (Or even the Play store for that matter). Instead they use apps like Xender and bluetooth to share music, apps, videos, etc. It is an entirely decentralised, p2p, shadow ecosystem operating in parallel to the playstore-ecosystem. Sure, it is rife with piracy (one of the main considerations behind Apple's locked-down model) and is riddled with insecurity. But i would argue that benefits far outweigh the risks. And isn't bringing the benefits of technology to the poor, one of the professed goals of Silicon Valley?

Which brings me back to my original point- Android's lenient security model allows for new and novel uses of technology that wouldn't have otherwise been possible.
The SDKs are starting to support "Direct Mode," which puts the contents only on the HMD, not mirrored onto the primary. That may or may not be optional, and may or may not have a performance hit if you turn it off.

I think something like livestreaming to a Chromecast would be cool.
Guess I didn't make it obvious enough, their website is what I found disgusting.
Eviction system 'allows itself to be gamed'
The radio picks up a ton of noise that sort of emulates just a little bit how a loud gasoline engine would sound.

It's the same behavior in BMW EVs(i3/i8/ActiveE/MiniE). It's not a constant noise on AM radio but really when you press the accelerator pedal hard on a quiet street could you hear the interference. BMW consider that unacceptable based on their "standards".

Apparently a lot ofTesla Model S owners agree with BMW on the subpar AM radio reception and complaint on their forum[1], which was probably why AM radio removed from Model X. I do consider that a surprise feature (of emulating engine revs) albeit it's a bit annoying sometimes.

I have over 17 years experience in high-tech, the last 8 focused on QA. While my passion is Quality Assurance, I have many years of experience with the entire SDLC on a variety of websites, web apps, and mobile apps. I’d love to bring my expertise to a small or early-stage team where I can get my hands dirty and make a big impact on the products and processes. I’ve been heavily involved with UI, functional, regression, and end-to-end testing, while understanding the inner workings as much as possible. I pride myself in being a true team players and getting solid products shipped. I’m happy to get involved with sprint planning, bug triage, user support, documentation, etc.
I'm pretty sure filters like this exist in part to implicitly reject candidates old enough to have forgotten their CS curriculum.

They did say "1.6x faster", not using the term "speedup" (which is terrible nomenclature too, but that's not the point).

To say that something that's no faster is identical to something that's "1x faster" is a terrible confusion of thought.

It's reasonable to expect that, for example, "1x faster" would mean "for a baseline of 1 operation per second, it's faster by 1 operation per second, i.e. a total of 2 operations per second."

EDIT: Oh god, that's even before I saw the "1.2x slower" entries…
The quality of the website is what I was referring to, I apologize for not making it obvious.

Delivering Cloud Services at Cloud Scale with Cloud Economics
> The fact that the Google engineers don't instinctively realize this shows how (very) far they have to go toward understanding the robot-mammal divide.

To be fair, the "playing" nonsense entirely comes from the article author. The video description is far less interpreting.

EDIT: Although the pure fact "it moves, makes noise and isn't something known (like a car)" probably already causes a lot of the reactions. How do dogs react to Roombas?
Wordpress really needs to move to git/github/gitlab. The fact that in 2016 all of the plugins are part of a massive single svn repository is insane.

They would probably see a 10x improvement on contributions by moving to github/gitlab almost overnight, potentially fixing these stupid issues.

As mgkimsal said, they should also take a hard stance and require PHP 7 for version 5.0. The speed improvements alone would be worth it.
I don't know in US, but at least where I live when somebody hits you from behind, it's his fault. The idea is that you are supposed to drive cautiously and therefore be prepared if the vehicle in front of you behave erratically -- that is, even if the vehicle's driver is wrong (say, it's not his right of way), you still should be in a safe distance.
The Zen of Product Design: How Lockitron Let Go of the Non-Essential
It absolutely changes the equation. Ask an investment advisor whether you should put all your money in one stock or diversify your portfolio. What will she say?

Pre-IPO startups have had an added protection against this turnover pressure, which is actually stronger than vesting. It forces teams to stick together until IPO/acquisition. This change would now be taking away. Worth thinking through the consequences, because if startup turnover shoots up then nobody benefits, most of all stock option holders.
Sounds like a good dystopic scifi novel, but honestly I don't see any of that happening any time soon as a real world scenario.
This is crazy, so many people have SDR but not AM radios! FYI car radios did not work for me, maybe because they have better shield. Also, I understand that someone has translated this to linux APIs but have not seen a PR yet.

I am often in the same position. There are only more or less bad options, no good ones. Even on Windows only it's hard to pick a good toolkit for apps that can run from Windows 7 to App Store.

I haven't used it much but Qt seems to the best option at the moment.
This same wage-to-skill disparity for academic-related jobs occurs all over. 75k is actually higher than I would expect for this role in Houston -- some similar jobs in major cities along the East Coast offer about the same pay. Many of these jobs are also contracted for 1-year periods and are contingent on an adviser or project leader continuing to get certain funding from a sponsor organization.

So the pay is usually low, the cost of living is usually high, the nature of the job doesn't provide much job security, and they demand a huge amount of experience and a willingness to work across many other arbitrary areas (e.g. you're hired because of knowledge of sequencing techniques, but really you'll spend time putting out fires in some legacy Ruby on Rails system that sponsors use for some legacy interactive website or something).

These jobs are often the worst of all worlds. It's hard to see how they are able to attract qualified candidates, and likely they aren't. Most likely is that they end up compromising as much as possible on the skill and quality of the person hired, so that they don't have to compete with a higher wage or more stable permanent employment, and so, at least in an IT capacity, you have to be worried before even applying about why your potential colleagues were willing to agree to these particular trade-offs.

It's very sad and disenfranchising because these kinds of jobs used to represent a way to earn a living without needing to engage with traditional corporate bureaucracy. But until these sorts of academic roles begin offering competitive wages and stable, permanent employment, it's probably better to not even dwell on it. If your eyes scan over something matching "academic ... lab", just move on.
We (the Roots team) have had this same opinion for years now. I feel that WordPress underestimates the power they have.

Now WordPress does actually work with a lot of the top hosting companies to get their PHP versions upgraded. They do this quietly but they do talk about it from time to time. But they don't go nearly far enough with this outreach program and by still allowing 5.2 and not setting any deprecation timelines it really hurts their efforts.

The amount I tend to learn after you get invested in a thread and start busting out things I've never heard of is honestly my counterpoint to arguing on the Internet being unproductive. That it is Percival you are fencing makes me look forward to the rest of this thread, because EC vs RSA is an interesting dialogue and you both have a lot to say on it. It might look like arguing to both of you, but scraps of useful information do fling off and I appreciate your arguing.

This thread and others like it make me think we need a security (and general) debate series.

Oddly enough, I wanted to do exactly this for some of my favorite shows and now I have a nice step-by-step guide on how to do it! I'll look into if there is a better way to display the subtitles, seeing as it is such a drastic drop in quality after they have been added.

It is true, the algorithms may not seem critical day-to-day.

Barriers to entry like the coding interview or ivyness of education often fail to identify the best candidates, reinforce monoculture, and could even indirectly support ageism, racism, and classism. But they persist because arbitrary barriers serve an important purpose in the minds of interviewers.

For example, many organizations may be hiring largely on experience and instinct, with the coding interview serving as confirmation or as a premise to reject.

Just $6-$7 isn't a lot, until you multiply by 300 million and realize that they aren't worth $6 each.

$2bn is absolutely material. If their growth is predicated on setting money on fire, future forecasting has to take that into account. Sure, it is a sunk cost, but unless the fundamentals of acquisition have changed then their valuation is not nearly as high.

And the the fundamentals of acquisition have changed. Unfortunately, in the wrong direction.

Nowhere. However, the Writs act does require that the writ be, "agreeable to the usages and principles of law."

Orenstien's point is spot on. There's no act of Congress that prevents the government from seeking a writ to provide execution drugs.

If we accept the government's argument that Congress must explicitly deny the request, and the argument that burden must be calculated purely based on financial cost, the only factor that would weigh against a writ for execution drugs is the discretionary factor of closeness.
