Sorry, I don't want to be a pain, but you should read this: http://blog.garrytan.com/travel-planning-software-the-most-c...

And sorry for the negativity again, but AI as it is today is not capable of understanding what people want. I mean, even real people are not able to understand what other people want or like. The tradeoff between quality/convenience/price is extremely subjective. People are complicated.

That said, I wish you luck with the project, and I'm hoping to be wrong.
Success is not related with money. For me success is being a person who can inspire people with thoughts. Money is just a metric for our society which deemed as ultimate result of success. If you are rich, people start to listen you and have inspiration from you. I would be a person who can change people's life in a good way, a person my ancestors would be proud of my actions. Difference with Bill Gates and regular people like me or you is not the way living our lifes, it is the number of people listen when we talk.
Sorry I'm not actually an American. You lose unemployment after being unemployed for too long ? How long ?
Super excited about this finally being revealed - my small startup Voysys makes the OdenVR Render Engine that powers this product :)

I think there are so many telepresence and remote-operation use cases for VR. It's not yet widely known how powerful it is to experience real time VR when you also can control something remotely.

There's no irony in this being posted on Medium, with a clean, beautiful, simple, elegant design?

Should have done it on one of those tiny-fonted 1998 Blogger templates.
Windows 5 Eyes ?
It really should have a different name. That would have solved a lot. If we called fat grams mutons or something.
People are powerful. I mean the smokers.
Nice idea. I thought about esign several years ago but never nailed it as a service like this. Great job!
"similar problems with medium.com links where the stuff after the inserted hashtag"

I always strip anything after the hash, checking the link still works. Medium adds this info, in my opinion, for tracking.
Only when there is a need for it, there is not a need for it when you write a dedicated article :)
I'm mostly a fan of single-player games and don't feel that massively-multiplayer games can come close to offering the same level of engagement or fulfillment, apart from the social fix.

The biggest concern I've had against investing emotions into any MMO's content, is the complete lack of a guarantee that it'll always be officially available. So many quests and such get old pretty fast and eventually forgotten. There's just no way to relive that content.

Maybe a paradigm shift is needed, away from how MMO content has been traditionally designed.
In the long run, it's a losing tactic. Assets can be used as collateral to borrow indefinitely; once you sell them, you lose that capability (and instead get a long-term recurring expense you don't control).

More than one business went under because they did this "cashing out" trick without fully understanding the consequences.

Thanks for the feedback - I've still got to spend time working on issues with tablet and smartphone browsers, as well as Edge and a couple of other browsers that have been problematic... but then there is always tea to be made and cats to be fed etc. that keeps distracting me... :)
If people you are "managing" are the product and not building the product then I would say maybe you have a point. Additionally, management doesn't bear the brunt of the fallout most of the time when they are bad managers or unable to make good technical decisions. So of course programmers given these factors should be paid the same as management.
An example I read recently - http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2016/04/04/cet...

"But that brings up a third possibility, that lipidology is complex enough to have fooled us completely, and that HDL and LDL are not, in fact, good markers at all. [...] Several large companies have poured hundreds of millions of dollars apiece down the drain in finding this out for us."
Well that's opened up a fascinating new world to me. Is there a name for that regular logarithmic by linear music notation in the first image? I suddenly feel like a whole lifetime of musical enjoyment has been denied to me by the utterly utterly ridiculous staff notation system.
Management types are simply pimping someone else's talent. In reality they should only get a small financial cut from doing that rather than the oversized influence and share of the decision making they do get from doing such things....that's how the entertainment industry handles "management".
How much do you make? I don't think what you say is true for an average salary.
Losing Money
Its crazy how whatsApp can leave an open issue like this. I agree with the viewpoint that whatsApp customers are the entry level internet users and not very savvy - they will get hacked.
One has to wonder if the extremes are problematic.

No carbs vs. no fats might turn out to be a bad thing as well.

It makes me wonder if as humans we make generalities too often that cause us to take up sub optimal behaviors that have long term negative outcomes.

NIH syndrome. Vain attempt at improving code quality. Very unlikely this person is a much better programmer than Bram.

It's written in C, likely won't end up much better then vim. Less wasteful to improve vim.
I believe it's usually called a 'piano-roll'.
That's actually a nice implementation. It's much easier to fix errors after finishing a sentence than it is to fear every word you type. Here's my attempt to describe compilers, which ended up going a little off-track:

----

If you want to make new things for a computer, you first have to write them down in a way that a computer can understand. You have to use strange computer words, not normal human words. People usually only talk to other people, so talking to a computer using only computer words is very hard.

To make it easier, there are things that take human words and then write them out as computer words so you don't have to do it yourself.

Those things were made by people who went to school for a long time. To make them, they had to know all the human words and all the computer words too. Thanks to them, you can write stuff that feels pretty normal to you, and still be able to make new things for a computer. It's still a little bit hard, but you can learn the simple stuff in a few days.

A long time ago, only a few people could build new things for computers. But today, many people like you and me build them for money or just for fun on their free time.

Just imagine: you could build a whole new thing today. A thing that no one ever had before. And if the thing you build actually helps other people, you can get a lot of money for it. That's what many of us in the "Thing Building News" place do. We go there to share stories about the things we build.

I now want to thank the people who went to school for a long time and made the things that turn human words into computer words. They help us do easy and fun stuff for money.
> motivated by corporations' desire to maintain control over their users.

I think that's only one factor, and not a majority one.

Most users don't want to have to deal with "how it works". They want a simple, easy to use tool that works reliably... And they want to call someone to "fix it" when it "breaks". That's how it works with plumbing, cars, landline phones, stereo components, televisions, and all the electronics they've ever used.

The exceptions are computers and some smartphones, which can present cryptic error messages, have weird things in their settings, and generally make a "dumb user" feel out of their element. Think about the confusion users feel when confronted with a funny noise in their car. "I'm not a mechanic, what does that noise mean?" is no different from "I'm not a computer person, what does that error mean?" What's more, the meaning of the question is not "what, mechanically/electrically, is at fault?" It is "how much time/money will it cost to get it fixed?"

It's not just a small preference, either - the height of luxury are "push button" services that "just work". Go to a high end hotel, and your room phone has just one button. Top end consumer products of all sorts struggle to be an easy-to-use "appliance". A dumbed down user interface without developer tools is user preference, it's status, it's customer comfort and pride, all tied into one.

So 99% of companies end up designing their interfaces like that hotel phone: http://salestores.com/stores/images/images_747/IPN330091.jpg

IMO the most impressive thing about OSX is how well it supports both audiences: it feels like a push-button, high luxury, comfortable, easy device to my mother. But under the hood there are great logs and a solid BSD-based operating system model. It comes prepackaged with a lot of developer tools, hidden in a place where I would look right away, but my mother would never notice.

Sure, some companies use software to limit and control their customers (cough cough Sony), usually with sharp legal/lobbyist teeth to enforce that control. But 99% of companies out there just want to make their users feel comfortable, high status, and competent to use their device.

While I agree with RMS that this split is inevitable, I don't believe it's about control. It's about two distinct market segments: auto enthusiasts who want control over the torque settings in their high end car, and people who just want a car that fucking works. Chefs who want sector-by-sector control over their oven's heating profile, and people who just want to be able to cook a fucking roast without burning it.
Great question. Amazon is one of the e-commerce sites. There is Walmart, Target, Costco and so on. FastBuy enables Amazon like experience on all sites. Single app to shop from anywhere with very few clicks. Moreover, no need to search for coupons, etc..
As I understand it, Microsoft has copied the Linux kernel system call interfaces and provided their own underlying implementation.

Given that Microsoft supported Oracle's view that the structure, sequence, and organization of the Java programming interfaces were covered by copyright law, then surely they would also agree that the same holds true for the Linux kernel system call interfaces.

I don't like the APIs-are-copyrightable decision, but given that's the current state, why aren't we talking about how this is a violation of the Linux kernel copyright license -- the GPL?
Here is what I consider to be the perfect example of where this fits into the development world. From my employer, I'm given a laptop, running Windows 8.1. All of my work for the past 2 years has been in developing a .NET line-of-business application, but I was recently asked to prototype an application to automate and streamline a collection of Excel spreadsheets. (Don't laugh; I've kind of made a career out of this sort of thing.)

For this project, I could choose the programming environment. Well, my tool of choice, for the past 10 years, has been Rails. I prototyped the application on my MBP within 10 hours, but needed to be able to work on the site with my corporate laptop, so I setup a Linux VM, and setup 2 networks (one host-only to share files, and one NAT'd to get through the corporate firewall), configured the folder shares, and got everything going the "VirtualBox" way. It's a pain.

Like a lot of Fortune 500's, the IT resources are locked down to the point of being combative. There's no way I can take my MBP to the office and work on the company LAN. (You can get an exception, but you have to ask for special permission every single day.) This project SUPPOSES to allow me to open a shell, install RVM, install Ruby and git, download my sources, bundle install, and do `rails -s` to do development. (The application is just using sqlite for the database, so I don't even need to mess with MySQL for now.) If everything works like it should, I can just use Sublime Text 3 as my editor to work on the files, and host on the Linux subsystem. When it's time, I can `git push` my sources to the TFS server, and deploy them on the Linux VM running in Azure.

So that was kind of long, but this is how I see it working and fitting into my world. Against my better judgement, I'm letting my gaming rig (re)upgrade to 10 to try this out. I don't know when my company's IT department will standardize on Windows 10; we just got 8 last year. I just want to see if this can really fill the niche it supposes.
Found it! It is "...et in pulverem reverteri", a short story by Janusz Zajdel, one of the best polish scifi writers, think Lem/Asimov/K.Dick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janusz_Zajdel

It was published in a collection https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogon_diabła

Google translate: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pl&u=http://...

Whole collection is high quality scifi, equal to Asimovs 'The Last Question' for example.
Yes. There are quite a lot of independent labels -- especially as the current barriers to entry allow almost anyone with reasonable design skills to start one. Also, the design-to-delivery/store costs are way cheaper in emerging economies like the Philippines (where we're based), allowing local designers to produce quality at a minimum. There is also a growing trend towards proudly-locally-made (in the US) and socially/environmentally sustainable products. Those who chose to fulfill their own deliveries also have better contribution margins as they avoid a huge portion of the ~40% of sales that retailers charge. The major problem for these kinds of labels is distribution. It's tough to get the word out when you don't have the economies of scale -- hiring a content and marketing squad does not make sense early on.
You won't do it. You're too lazy and there is no immediate motivation for doing something like that.
It is - in a perfect world where everyone is capable of looking after himself.

Why do you think we have regulations in healthcare etc? Because lots of folks can't decide if something is healthy or not.
It is sad to see how we are going from fat phobia to carb phobia, repeating the same mistakes 50 years later.

I have genetic metabolic disease and I have thought about this many times. My conclusion is simple enough: Eat real food, ignore the macros, listen to your body and adapt your food intake accordingly. Paul Jaminet's diet [1] is the closest I have found to fit this idea.

Generally, no they don't.
TeX's bug bounty and the credentials of its author are good reasons why it's probably one of the most reliable pieces of such code that you might have.
yet they might disappear from Netflix at any moment... I don't track contracts renewal dates so I don't know exactly when they might or might not stay on Netflix. (Netflix’s US Catalog Has Shrunk by More Than 2,500 Titles in Less Than 2.5 Years, https://www.allflicks.net/netflixs-us-catalog-has-shrunk-by-... )
There is no comparability at all. Smoking generates and tobacco contains - known toxic agents. Sucrose (ordinary sugar but also corn syrup) is entirely non-toxic, it being a di-saccharide containing glucose (essential for life though where you get it from is another question) and fructose, found in almost all fruits & adequately metabolized by the liver if provided in small amounts. Too much is disastrous - that's agreed. But so is too much of any food.

No one is forced to buy over-sweetened foods clearly marked with the contents so why blame manufacturers for providing what people want? The food they sell is not toxic but certainly the proportions consumed can be and frequently are. Down to us not the manufacturer.
It's a representation of a midi step sequencer. It's pretty standard in all DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software. Staff notation is way more nuanced than this. In order to represent all the details on the midi ui it requires layers (like photoshop) for all the different parameters. On staff notation it's all there on one page. Staff notation might be a bigger learning curve but it's also a far superior way of communicating musical pieces on paper.
Obviously people occasionally do talk in person via pressing buttons. That doesn't mean it's generally preferred.

Recorded speech is also searchable so not sure that's relevant.
Chat bots seems like a trend. I am not worried though. This app can do all what a chat bot can do. Also the business model will be very different ensuring more discounts to the users on their purchases.
Amiga "perceived as the cost-cutting budget computer brand"? In the US maybe; in Europe it was considered absolutely top-notch, at least until PCs started getting cheap consumer-grade graphic cards.
With any product created, you'll have the potential of having trolls. I'm sure even 7 cups has it too. And generally trolls don't attack vulnerable people to the point where they're using proxy or VPN's. Let alone on voice calls.

There's not much data of how unhappy 7 cups members are (maybe they're happy).

But neither of those reasons are good enough to NOT try something. Because you won't know if you're gonna have trolls or if your users will have a better experience from a competitor unless you try it.
USA Amiga advertising was cringe-worthy. Truly bad. The initial 1000 launch was fine, but the US 500 era advertising was mostly risible and simply gave away millions of sales to Atari. Newtek and EA probably made more Amiga sales than C= US.

They moved Pleasance to Commodore International to try and repeat UK success in USA. It is only then in 1991 or thereabouts that they started making deals with big retailers like Sears, Walmart etc. Someone should have been doing that in 86.

The successful packs - The Disney box, the Batman pack were all C= UK (Pleasance) created. Germany was doing very well creatively too. C= Intl was worth keeping for engineering, not whoever in West Chester was marketing.
Macro tracking is the best way to fine tune your body composition and measure what actually works for you.

Collecting data is never a bad thing and is always worth doing.
I think that would be a great way to kick start orgs into this business offering.

Google made it open for 100, then 50 then 25 then paying for each one iirc. The early adopters kept their free version until reaching that limit.
Considering amount of expertise that went into making TeX and the fact that (in my experience at least) it far surpasses other solutions, it might simply be that mathematical notation typesetting doesn't lend itself to dynamic reflow, internationalization, parallelization, DOM representation, interoperability with CSS and its concept of blocks and inline layouts, wrapping around floats, single pass processing and interactive-level performance.
I use it for web side projects. It's not too bad with a theme and some customization, for my simple needs - I'm not a designer, I just want a responsive design out of the box with familiar elements so that a new user can find their way around easily. I can then concentrate on the functionality.

It's boring perhaps but for a certain category of apps you want boring+familiar.
> Linux users were going around for a while saying "this is the year of linux on the desktop", and yeah it kind of turned into a bit of a meme.

They were not actually, this is a myth. A few tech "journalists" wrote such articles which people started making fun of. But no, regular Linux users never claimed that, or at least not in any significant number that I know of.
Sounds like new words to describe what graph databases do. Although I see you answered another question already comparing to Neo4J.
The problem isn't IGE. It's that they're using SHA1 (not HMAC-SHA1) in a "MAC and Encrypt" construction.
Installed it to give it a go. It's impossible to install java on it. This is makes it fairly useless for my purposes. sigh
Here's your answer: It's sexist bullshit AND it obviously doesn't work b/c even women are highly variable people.

Oh, and anybody using the term 'friendzone' b/c he thinks he's entitled to have sex with someone deserves whatever method of death will someday do him in.
Somebody please package the html into a pdf!
Which is still the wrong way to go, I feel. We're now replacing the (newly introduced) refined sugars with even newer artificial sweeteners. I really don't look forward to hearing about them in another 40 years.

Stop sweetening. Period. There's a lot more to flavour than just sweet, and the sooner we can revive our taste for other flavours, the better our children will be.
Why not use closed standard than, it is not ambiguous and exactly expresses what you would like to convey. Thanks for clarifying though.
This could actually be useful if it had buildin word2vec dictionary/suggestion function. Dont just delete less common words, suggest simpler one of equal meaning instead.
The interesting bit being that they can patch native methods using JS. You have to write a specific patch in JS though and still fix the original native code before pushing out the next version.
I'm using a combination of Ubuntu Server 16.04 VM (4GB RAM, 2-cores, 80GB HDD) + Virtualbox + MobaXterm (best SSH client on Windows). It works beautifully. I previously used Putty but it's a bit sparse regarding some options and gets confused sometimes when sending key codes via SSH session. Also I get the option of either using the Vbox shared folders or using the included SFTP client in MobaXterm that follows the current folder you're currently located in the terminal. It's a simple drag and drop. It even has a XServer included so I can run Linux desktop apps on Windows.

I got tired of running Linux directly on my desktop. Compiz crashes (worked in 14.04, not working in 14.10, started working again in 15.04, not working in 15.10...), can't keep my select sound output, terrible font rendering, awful HiDPI support, graphics drivers are a mess, and on and on...

Since I basically just need the non-graphical parts of Linux (Bash + Tmux + Vim) I'm very happy with this setup.

PS: Forgot to say that I have a very beefy machine (Skylake Core i7 4Ghz, 32GB DDR4, fastest consumer NVMe SSD from Samsung) but I've found that this setup works well on basically any machine.
As much as I love visualizing my code with Intellij, the thing is huge and clunky.

Nothing beats the simplicity of Sublime and the good'ol Terminal.
against dissident arguments

Against alternative explanations, I prefer. Dissident carries a negative connotation that is unwarranted here.
It is clearly known how to do this. I lost 15 kg in 3 months after changing my eating habits and I can tell it is simple (but not necessarily easy).

Key changes to introduce to your diet:
1. Eat less carbohydrates, especially those with high glycemic index (eg. pasta, pizza, bread). Ideally replace them with beans, lentils, peas (they have lower glycemic index).
2. Remove alcohol from your diet. It is highly caloric and increases your insulin levels (which will make you eat more).
3. Remove sugar and sweets from your diet. Use xylitol as alternative to sugar (it has lower glycemic index).

Additionally:
1. Drink water, avoid soft drinks, juices or milk. Do not add sugar or milk to your coffee.
2. Eat more protein (fish, chicken, beef, eggs).
3. Eat more high quality fats (fish oil, nut oil, olive oil, coconut oil).
4. Eat more vegetables, but avoid potato, sweet potato, corn.
5. To maintain results, motivation and high energy - excercise (eg. running, gym) for 1 hour every 2-3 days. It will make you feel great, after 1-2 months you will start missing the training day :)
6. Let yourself enjoy anything, in any quantity once in a week (but consider avoiding alcohol) to deal with your cravings and temporarily boost metabolism.

The advice is based on Tim Ferris recommendations from his "4 Hour Body" book [1]. I followed it and it simply works.
