Curious what this slow-growth world does to housing prices. Our governments seem to be fueling epic housing bubbles by having low interest rates. I've heard two arguments: buy now or never be able to afford (since increasing rates will affect monthly payments), and the crash is just around the corner .. as soon as rates rise. Which is it?

As a joke ... I wonder if we have zero innovation if all the scientists, PhDs and many other smart people spend all their time trying to deal with property prices and less on coming up with actual invention. But seriously ... I hate my life. If I buy now, I'll be paying a mortgage till the day I die. Any misfortune will destroy us. Taxes keep increasing, job stability keeps decreasing. Wonder if I am the only one who feels this way.

That's from 2004. Here's a review by an architecture critic from 2007.[1] "The shin-high steel fences built around the slanting structural I-beams to avert head-bonking look like improvised fixes for a problem nobody anticipated." "'The building's celebrated splotches of weirdness -- the red sea-monster-bowel corridors on the fourth level, the bile-yellow elevators and escalators, the vertiginous canyon overlooks on the upper levels -- exist to draw attention away from the fact that most of its work and pleasure spaces are actually cheaply finished or dysfunctional." "You and other critics have been had. From the tip of this glass squeeze box to the bowels of its red metal stomach, this library is a joke, a monument to the architects' vanity, to the critics' collective vanity, to a city's greedy desire to be noticed. And noticed not for achievement, not for actually doing anything, but for looking cool."

That last seems to nail it.

However, it does have 4 1/2 stars on Yelp.

12 years on, most of the weirder floor materials are gone, replaced by bare concrete. The badly upholstered chairs have been replaced with PVC. Lots of railings and fences have been installed to keep people from hitting their heads on angled beams. They've probably also gone to LED lighting on those high ceiling lights. So the building is at least workable now. I'm impressed that nobody is complaining about it being too hot or too cold; tall atriums are a huge HVAC headache.

If you're in SF, consider joining the Mechanics Institute library. This is a private library with a good, well-curated collection, with new books coming in regularly. Classic multi-level stacks, columns, wood furniture, and librarians who will hush you if you talk.

"What do you think will happen when the costs of everything in a supply chain of a company is doubled? They will pass it onto the consumer."

Of the 77.2 million workers earning an hourly wage, only 1.3 million were earning a minimum wage. The notion that 'costs of everything in the supply chain of a company' will double completely ignores the fact that only a small portion of all work is paid minimum wage.

"When the majority of companies do this (which will definitely happen), everyone's spending power is decreased. The dollar doesn't go as far as it used to."

Inflation has increased while the minimum wage has remained stagnant. There are volumes of money flowing elsewhere that are several orders of magnitude higher than the GDP of minimum wage earners.

A basic understanding of the development process is necessary since product managers need to be able to work with the engineering team, but since PMs don't write code, they don't need to have an engineering background. I think design skills are more important. (They may need an engineering background if you have a very technical product, like an IDE, that's being sold to developers.)

What you didn't mention, and what I think is very important in a PM, is "people skills". PMs have to be able to interact effectively with the sales, marketing, and support organizations, and also with users. They have to be able to envision themselves in the position of the user, and have empathy for users problems.

(I'm an engineering manager who has worked closely with many PMs over the years.)
In addition to mechanical turk, there's also the phrase "Fake it till you make it" which is somewhat appropriate (the connotation is more like "pretend to be a success").
Marijuana is far less addictive and because users smoke much less marijuana than they do tobacco, the health impacts are far less severe. Not to mention that a new tobacco industry would be preferable to the double whammy of the erosion of civil liberties, government, society, and human lives caused by the war on drugs and the financial windfall to cartels that illegal drugs have represented.
I agree! Moreover, why not let beginners start with a language they could actually use in real life?
Yeah, this is pushing the line... I'm surprised something like that slipped through the regulations. There's no need to allow billboard advertising of any kind.

Some call this "impersonation trick" an identity theft.
“Even Apple, with all their skills — and they have terrific cryptographers — wasn’t able to quite get this right,” said Green, whose team of graduate students will publish a paper describing the attack as soon as Apple issues a patch.

reminds me of John Oliver's fake Apple ad from last week:

"We're barely one step of hackers at any time," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsjZ2r9Ygzw#t=15m50
> For $1 a month & $12 a year, you get to prioritize your Twitter feed. You can have one timeline in chronological order and another one in order of your priorities, by topic and by follow. You also get a mobile version of Tweetdeck, which doesn’t currently exist, but is an essential for a power user.

So...I might have missed it, but has there ever been a good explanation for why Twitter has so bewilderingly neglected Lists? I recently saw on Facebook a little balloon pop up to tell me that if I wanted to, I could make friends lists, and here was the menu to go to do so...Facebook, a site that has pretty much mastered the ability to prioritize your friends (not just Close Friends, but favorite friends in a given locale), still thinks users might like curating their own lists.

But Twitter...The only way I see to even accessing my lists is to go to my profile, where there are 4 buttons at the top: the settings-gears, a button that takes me to Twitter Ads, another button that let's me switch accounts as if more than one person were using my iPhone, and then "Edit Profile". The lists are currently buried in the Settings button, and even then I have to stumble around to find the lists that I've carefully curated.

The biggest complaint I hear from new users is that it's hard to cut through all the noise. So they limit who they follow...because in every other social network, there's a distinct FOMO when your newsfeed is being crowded out. Being able to easily generate lists and switch between them would've encouraged them to follow more people and thus broaden the network. The most common advice given among journalists about Twitter is to join Tweetdeck, because of how powerfully it lets you monitor a variety of subjects.

Making lists usable -- and hell, sharable, like Spotify has made playlists -- is not a technical or a product challenge in the way that Moments or an algorithmic timeline is. I'm not saying it's trivial to fit List-making/following functionality into the interface but it doesn't even seem like Twitter gave a shit.
That's one possibility, but while it addresses in part the cost element -- largely by externalising it and spreading the distribution load about -- it doesn't address the complexity element.

It's possible to make a radio out of a couple of crystal diodes. A tuner and FM receiver are slightly more complicated, but a 9-volt battery or very small solar cell will run a receiver, and transmitters, as noted, are pretty bog-simple.

Another quite probably underappreciated element is security. It's exceptionally difficult to hack into a radio, or into a radio transmitter, through the radio itself (there are of course other pathways to hacking a modern computerised radio broadcast operation, but there's no reason such an operation need be computerised).

Bittorrent is wonderful stuff, it's a brilliant hack, I use it myself. It's more useful at distributing large files than small ones, and benefits greatly by large audience (saturating many sources). As part of a samizdat information distribution system, it's great.

But you need servers, recipients need computers, you need a network, with last-mile connectivity, everything needs power, there's security issues, there's authenticating who's what, and more.

The US could use a new market to add to the economy that is for sure. A large majority of people in the US support it at 58% for all, 64% under 50, 71% under 35 [1]

However with the surveillance society we live in, we need to rid the books of laws that most people break otherwise there will be a sea of non-violent crimes that don't make logical sense today. Laws as deterrents for moralistic or non-violent acts do not work but make it more unsafe in this case, you regulate and tax to make it safer and more about support/new markets rather than incarceration which is a drain on the economy.

The black market created by the war on drugs does not operate better or safer for kids, nor add tax revenues or regulations for safety. It funds cartels.

We have been doing it wrong for a long time.

Look how much money yearly has been going to the black market, cartels and diverted from benefits like school funding, support and regulation. Public university funding is plummeting along with K-12 [2][3]

This is only the start of it as well, probably in the hundreds of billions have been going to black markets/cartels. This cannot continue, legalization and regulation is the only way. I can't believe it is this slow now that there is this much money in it for revenues in a time of local/state huge budget shortages and most of all stopping funding of cartels. This moralistic prohibition is just as bad as the first prohibition in creating lucrative crime markets and attacking personal freedom.

JavaScript Popularity Surpasses Java, PHP in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey
I'll just save you the trouble of reading this:

The author ran a Twitter poll asking people how much they would pay for Twitter. 64% said "nothing." The author believes people have a tendency to vote "more negatively" to make a statement, and a lot more people would actually pay than are represented in the poll. Laughable.

If anything, people love to say they're willing to pay (it's just a click). But when the time comes to actually pay money... they're nowhere to be found.
"Legacy business" or not, I believe that listening to local public radio makes me a better citizen of my city. NPR needs to do everything it can to keep the local stations alive because it's not just the nationally popular programming that matters. Honestly, my local NPR station, WNYC, is the only remotely intelligent source of local news. Where else am I going to hear Andrew Cuomo, Bill de Blasio, and other influential people having a frank discussion on important local issues? The only alternatives are random internet blogs, NY Daily News, and Fox 5, and some crazy right wing talk shows in Jersey.

I don't see any problem with doing what it takes to keep these stations alive, even if it means that Ira Glass can't tell me to download this American Life using iTunes (which I already do).
Yeah that's what I use at present, if it's not an A+ it's not OK. Would be nice to have an open source version of this that could perform additional checks though.
Might just be recalculating weights of the Neural Net for learning which can't be done with the system "on line" or concious.

Problem is it's the same few companies every time in every podcast. There are apparently only 3 companies that podcast listeners are interested in, or at least that care to advertise to podcast listeners.
"World's worst hacker" is pretty amusing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJagxe-Gvpw
I had big problems with the "Angel List" web site, because it was extremely flakey and appeared to be a typical piece of garbage that some dime-a-dozen huckster with very little experience had just thrown together after watching the Ruby on Rails Make Your Own Trendy Dot Com Crud Web Site in 10 Minutes screencast.

Major features were totally broken. Many things about the design were devoid of thought and just haphazardly thrown together, as if I was using a mock-up that was nowhere near ready for prime time. Obviously whoever implemented it and runs it had no intention of using it themselves, and puts no time into maintaining the site or supporting the "customers" (who are actually the product). The only "design" apparent was in the most shallow surface details and of the least meaningful kind.

Their support is absolutely non-existent. I heard nothing back from them whatsoever, after sending several emails. Lights are on but nobody's home. It has the feel of yet another ghost town scam web site run by a sociopathic all-talk-no-chops frat boy "idea man" who long ago went on to something else after pissing off and driving away all their developers who worked for free on the promise of equity, and is now letting it run on autopilot. Too many self described "Serial Hacktrepeneurs", not enough programmers.

Because I encountered so many problems that I have no control over but should, it's an embarrassment to be listed with so many glitches that I am unable to work around, which cause investors to see my profile in such a haphazard state. Their carelessness makes it look like I'm the one who's careless.

I hope Silicon Valley does an episode parodying AngelList, or at least somebody writes some fanfic about it. [1]

The problem is that every time my Macbook charger (I'm on my third in seven years, soon to get number 4 as this one is dying) has failed, it's not been the charger itself, it's crappy strain relief and thin cables. I'm happy to pay $65 for a new charger block, but when it's just the cable that's failed, I'm not getting value for money.

I bought a counterfeit charger once (on purpose) and gave up using it after it sparked while I was in bed. Having that protection circuitry is really useful when your whole laptop case is grounded.

I mentioned in another post, but this is why I'm excited for USB-C power delivery. Finally companies can deliver the AC mains cable, the power brick and the charging cable as separate replaceable components.

Note this text from Wikipedia: "Under the assumption that the physics of type Ia supernovae are universal, analysis of observations of 580 type Ia supernovae has shown that the gravitational constant has varied by less than one part in ten billion per year over the last nine billion years.[13]"

The ref is: J. Mould; S. A. Uddin (2014-04-10), "Constraining a Possible Variation of G with Type Ia Supernovae", Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia 31: e015, arXiv:1402.1534, Bibcode:2014PASA...31...15M, doi:10.1017/pasa.2014.9

It's not the first paper to look into that issue, either!

Always fun to remind people that physics involves more than what happens inside the lab.
I don't have any inside data, but I'm suspect Facebook's usage numbers for lists are quite low. Anecdotally, I'm the only person out of all my friends that uses friend lists for anything (mostly to tailor privacy settings). Most people are unaware they exist.

Secondly, Facebook auto-populates lists based on clusters of friends (e.g. a bunch of friends are in your current city, so Facebook might create an automatic list for that). Twitter can't do this bootstrapping, for obvious reasons (and if they tried I wouldn't be surprised if the clustering was poor quality).

Also, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how many ways to slice and dice your friends there are. Nothing will change the fact that Twitter is crap if 1) nobody knows who you are (you're just tweeting to an empty room), and 2) you haven't spent the time to follow the right people.

One will note that Facebook puts everything into one algorithmic news feed.

I read somewhere a conjecture that sleep for human brains is analogous to regularization schemes (such as dropout) for neural networks. Dropout helps the net avoid overfitting; nets that are overfitted have a difficult time distinguishing noise from signal. Sleep for mammals might serve a similar purpose, to help the brain avoid overfitting to noise (imagine if you had difficulty distinguishing dreams from reality).
Another iMessage/iOS design flaw (in the context of its "end-to-end encryption") is that you can't disable iCloud sync for the messages alone. It's an all or nothing proposition. It would be good if in iOS 9.3 they'd allow iMessage sync to be disabled, or even better keep it disabled by default, even when you enable "iCloud sync" (it is after all supposed to be end-to-end encryption, not "end-to-end encryption with centralized storage in our cloud", at which point saying iMessage is E2E is just a misnomer).
What machine do you use?
"Often times there are jobs that provide value at an hourly rate greater than $0.00 and less than whatever the minimum wage is at. The job could be done, and provide meaningful value, so just because it isn't worth paying a minimum wage doesn't mean the job shouldn't be done at all. It's a difficult situation because the employer wants to pay the worker a fair value for the job, but the government forces them to pay more than the fair value of their work. That's a poor moral and financial situation, and so businesses look for people in other countries, or technology to automate the job completely."

This is an idea I reject with enthusiasm! You need to take the emotion out of it; this has nothing to do with fairness. If a job isn't worth paying some minimum level, it simply is not efficiently creating wealth. It is the government's duty to discourage and eliminate this wasted productivity.

Continued off-shoring and automation are good things. Off-shoring in particular is just arbitrage of the labor market. Every dollar we ship out, the more we elevate the standard of living of those folks. This implies (demonstratively) that this will not last for ever. In the mean time it is a profitable manoeuvre for the economy as a whole.

Automation just goes to further eliminate jobs that shouldn't be done so those resources can be better spent in another areas. As always, the labor market determines quite efficiently the best distribution of this limited resource.

"One question I have is why do we care so much about protecting minimum wage jobs? If no one had the safety net of a minimum wage job, they would be forced to innovate and pursue groundbreaking research in other fields - such as medicine or technology. Imagine if the rate of innovate was exponentially increased - think of the thousands of lives we could save or the decrease in costs of healthcare if we said "no one can work at Starbucks - you have to be a doctor."

I think what you fail to grasp is the minimum wage is the exact knob the government has to destroy unproductive employment. As you say, these minds could be pushed into medicine or technology.

Try running the binary instead of just scanning it for signatures. It will be detected by the heuristics engines of most AVs. I'm not saying that AVs are good but articles like this that only focus on defeating signatures while leaving away heuristics (emulation, behavior detection, and even white listing to some extent) don't do the subject justice.

I got annoyed whilst trying to 'debug' the Chicken example programs to follow the execution of code (to do so, you would have to debug the JavaScript, adding a breakpoint at just the right line of the code and setting up a bunch of variables to watch), so I rewrote the entire Chicken VM from the ground up, with the main goal of being able to introspect the VM with ease.

Bitcoin and Blockchain FAQ
I don't care if people want to smoke pot. I think it's a waste of life and you'll get more out of life straight than stoned but I really don't care what others choose to do with their own lives. In fact I am very much supportive of full legalisation of sale and possession of ALL drugs except meth, despite the fact that the only drugs I take are alcohol and coffee.

No matter how it is ingested, marijuana is like all drugs and pose a health risk if not taken in moderation.

Health risks from smoking it (and most people do smoke it), and no matter how you ingest it, mental health risks.

This is not a harmless drug and there will come a time in future where there are court cases brought by marijuana sellers for selling a toxic product - in the same way that tobacco has been brought to trial. My key argument is that marijuana should be sold under the counter to meet a need that is kept hidden from society and young people, but is freely available to adults who know it is there. Selling it, advertising it, displaying it in a shopfront, making it fun and cool are all really bad ways to go.
