Are you saying that you should take into account the... wait for it... sex of the person you're giving the gift to? Wouldn't that be, you know, sexist?
That's happened in tech, which has seen a boom in salaries partly as a result of the very wealth (LPs) investing in VC funds which in turn have funded startups which in turn have competed with the Googles and Microsofts of the world for scarce talent.
The timing of this post feels so weird. Yesterday I was running a script that purged my facebook activity completely, and I was in the middle of setting up an xmpp messenger on my tablet just so I can communicate with people using that platform. Then I've noticed that the api is gone, with no way to connect but their official app.

Guess I'll just tell everyone that matters my phone number and mail address, if they do not already know, and call it a day. I've wasted so much of my time and attention on facebook.
The velocity of money also matters. You can create a quadrillion dollars and stick it in a bank account and it never moves. That is not inflationary.
Indeed, that's why you shouldn't put all your eggs on it, but if you have reliable info that an asset is overvalued, you should not hold back from placing a risk-weighted bet on it.
What exploit? From the article:

"... according to people familiar with the matter."

There is absolutely no proof of an exploit here. There are a lot of people 'familiar with the matter' that talk BS. For example I heard some expert say that they just bought 1000 iPhones and copied the ROM on each phone to try each pin combination.

Edit: to be clear: I'm talking about a software exploit. I think it's more likely the phone was cracked via a hardware exploit.
You tried reporting it? I hate reporting things to them because their feedback seems tuned to discourage that behaviour, but between that and complaining here I have seen major improvements.
Of course they should, and I dont argue against that. However, I see private actors such as Blackwater (or whatever he calls it today), that directly make money of the war, and are not held accountable at all are a huge problem that needs to be dealt with.

Regarding state actors, I am 100% for punishing them, but see this as a bigger issue of corruption of morals and ethics in general. In the military i see the issue as a failure in the oversight processes and support frameworks. Military has always been secretive about their mistakes etc, which in my mind is understandable (not excusable). However, it seams like the compartmentalizing of the different areas of operations have completely sealed off the solders from any kind of support framework. Which means that anything that should be reported, never gets to the people who needs to see it.

This last part applies to the Blackwater types as well, with probably even more pressure to not do anything and look the other way etc.
Wealth is trickling down. It's just trickling from poor people in developed countries to poor people in developing countries. And it's a good thing. Why should poor people in developed countries be priviledged?

Meanwhile rich people in develoepd and developing countries make tons of money on the differences between the poor, decreasing them in the process.

If it works as well as the reminders in Google Now, I'd rather avoid it.

I spent about five minutes saying "Remind me to buy paper towels"[0], Google Now suggested it should remind me the next time I'm near a grocery store. I wasn't reminded ever again and the reminder didn't show up anywhere in Google Now because it had no date or time associated with it. I actually only found the reminder when it showed up on Google Calendar in my desktop browser -- this was about two months in.

Warren Buffett has also talked about this in numerous interviews. He says that it really depends on what interest rates will do in the future that will determine whether stock prices are currently high. If they stay the way they are now for a while (close to zero, and even negative in some countries), stock prices are not high. The reason for this is that interest rates act like gravity on stock prices. If interest rates go to zero, P/E ratios can go to infinity. Mathematically this can be seen by looking at DCF or NPV analysis where you divide by the discount rate, which is highly correlated with the interest rate. Take for instance a security that yields $C/year in perpetuity. The NPV of that security is NPV=C/r. As the interest rate r approaches 0, the NPV goes to infinity and hence has infinite value. This means that it is ok to pay a very large amount for the security, since you can't get a better return anywhere else.

But of course the question is, will interest rates remain low? Basic economics would tell us the answer is no, because the FED and ECB have pumped billions and billions of dollars/euros in the economy on a monthly basis meaning the supply of money has greatly increased and hence the value should drop and lead to inflation and hence higher interest rates. But this clearly hasn't happened (yet) and I haven't really found anyone who has a good explanation. Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger and Bill Gates all expected this would of already happened a while ago. (TV interview on CNBC)
No, 'nmap' is not a vulnerability. I'm advocating to hold people responsible that sell vulnerabilities to the highest bidder under the full knowledge that the bidder will not tell the manufacturer and will use it for nefarious purposes.

It's nearly impossible to enforce something like this because of anonymous markets and crypto currencies, but we should at least shame people that advocate for it or admit to doing it.
I can't think of any example. Maybe some other sort of software than the ones for programmers, say, graphic editors - there are some that are pretty hackable but they aren't being hacked too much despite having users.

That's why it's so striking, that the developers here seem to declare to fight this "almost a natural law". They want something hackable, yet they want the thing to have very specific purpose, but I think, if it will succeed, it will take life on its own. I think they should plan for it and embrace it, instead.

Besides that, the renders are beautiful.
>Beginners care about gear, professionals care about technique, masters care about sound.

Caring about sound means caring about gear. I don't know any masters (and I know a few) that don't obsess over the gear they use in order to get the perfect sound. Shit in shit out. I think this also applies beyond music: Masters optimise at every link in the value chain.
Great little project. Some of them clearly wouldn't work but some would be fun to try and make
I think it's about ecological consequences.
As someone who is self-employed, works from home, and actually likes their job - scheduling free time is really important for me. If I don't, my work and my side projects creep into everything. I also thought this practice was ridiculous but then I started doing it and it's really improved my work/life separation.
I reckon it's a pithy statement the finance news is prone to making, and requires further elaboration.

It's clear to us all when one says there is a bubble in housing, but this doesn't make much sense, and may well on further elaboration be found to be nonsense!

If one were to be treating cash an as investment, i.e. in a savings account, then one would think a cash bubble would be where you're getting a relatively good return, and were the bubble to burst, the return would collapse. That's clearly not the case now: cash returns little or a loss (interest - inflation).

And in terms of its value, rather than its return, well it's been losing value there too, relative to stocks and housing. So hard to see a bubble there either.
I'm not sure what triggered this response, but I'm guessing it was the "social production" in the book title. In case that caused you to dismiss the book, do have a look. It's not meant to indicate anything doing with social media.

I guess the intention of the term was more inline with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_production_of_habitat "social production involves people at the community level relying on them collectively to identify, exploit and increase local capital as assets in the development process"

In practice the book is more about what Benkler calls "Commons-based peer production" though.

Which wikipedia takes as a synonym https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commons-based_peer_production

"Commons-based peer production is a term coined by Harvard Law School professor Yochai Benkler.[1] It describes a new model of socioeconomic production in which large numbers of people work cooperatively (usually over the Internet). Commons-based projects generally have less rigid hierarchical structures than those under more traditional business models. Often—but not always—commons-based projects are designed without a need for financial compensation for contributors.

The term is often used interchangeably with the term social production."

The book does shows its age in some respects though. At the time it was written p2p, open source, wikipedia and all the other institutions the book focuses on was rather new in the public mind, and perhaps treated a bit too much like magic. A sober follow up would certainly be a valuable addition to the discourse.

I think the biggest take aways from that book in particular is that

- There are other ways to organize human activity than market economies, even when rather large capital assets are involved in the production.

- People are capable of, and actually do, produce many things of enormous value, without any expectation of economic compensation.

- Current legal, cultural, and economic, institutions are somewhat at odds with this mode of production. Thus acting more to suppress (some forms of) valuable economic activity than enabling it.

Framed like this it certainly looks like an argument in a rather old political conflict. But I think that is the wrong way to look at it. It looks more like a synthesis to me, a much more inspiring proposition.

Edit: And Facebook is an interesting thing to study, it embodies both the good and bad parts Benkler talk about. There certainly is a certain amount of social production going on amongst Facebook users. At the same time most of the capital value produced is reaped by Facebook and used to in parts to enable the infrastructure as such, a good thing, but also to cater to Facebooks less amicable interests, essentially destroying the very habitat their users is working to improve.
The point which everybody seems to be missing (Thiel included) is that "overvalued" or "undervalued" is never in absolute but should always be relative to interests rates.

If you have low interests rates like now many crazy valuations are actually not so crazy (well in tech they are crazy anyway but outside of tech not so much).

That's because the cost opportunity of employing 1€ in equity is very low since debt is giving you little. All the future cash flows therefore get just a small discounting factor.
Many (if not most) government websites have "NEW!!" flashing GIFs all over the place.
> enriched vein of uranium

FWIW "enrich" in the context of uranium is the thing done by centrifuges. You don't get enriched uranium out of the ground.

And Napalm is basically styrofoam and gasoline. You don't need much in the way of chemistry equipment to make it.

> It really seems like the law doesn't know what to do about that category of things, generally.

The main problem with the concept is that it doesn't end. A person with malicious intent can cause quite a lot of destruction with only the stuff everybody already has. There is no point in restricting chemistry equipment when people already have gasoline (or olive oil or lard or alcohol or ...)

The only way to separate a person from the means to cause trouble is to eject them naked into the vacuum of space, and even then it's mostly because you can expect that to kill them.

Right just replied the same. It's about the interest rates prevailing in the market.

But I do believe that there was and still is a lot of overvaluation in tech even after discounting at low interest rates.
Generally VST's and top gear are used together. I wasn't suggesting VST's have no place in great sounding records but the initial source needs to be great to sound great. While I'm sure that a great producer/engineer will make a better sounding record with only VST's than an amateur with all the best gear in the world generally the top producers don't compromise at all because they don't have to.

"Delightion" - apparently it should be a word.
I can't see what the advantage would be though - if you do have a wonder material better to go with a more standard frame design and increase stiffness and/or reduce weight.

NB ~20 years ago I did have an "elevated stay" frame which was neat in some ways - no chain slap and the chain didn't go through the frame. However, the frame failed catastrophically while I was at traffic lights....
It's a bit of a one-sided contract (I'm giving up way more than you). And signing a contract just means more unnecessary men with guns, whereas we could just make and share and use creative works and that would be that. If you agreed to do the same, then maybe. If the contract pertained only to my changes to your software, then certainly, but it would have to be as free as 3-BSD. It's not like I ever intend to sue over IP.

The only reason to prefer 3-BSD is because public domain isn't recognized worldwide. I'll agree that there should probably be something about software patents in there, those are stupid.

I think for many people, if they don't schedule those things, they often don't happen. Time gets eaten away by life's minutiae.

The week passes without us going for a family walk. The year passes without planning a holiday.
Though of course a non compete is lessening the freeness of the market.

Of course the market runs because of rules we set in the first place.
The original post used Apple and Google as examples. I'm not aware of any scenario in which those companies move U.S. revenues offshore to shield them from taxes. If I'm not mistaken, Tim Cook is on record that Apple only shields foreign-earned income from the IRS.
To me it looks like you could accuse anything and anybody of not confronting their past.. because even if somehow you "confront your past", it's hard to prove you really did. So it looks like a perfect accusation: easy to throw on someone, hard to disprove. When an article starts this way.. well never mind (it's already too much waste of time).
I don't think he means free as in freedom.
As a russian I just want to note 2 things: 1. russian women are rarely so awful looking, even in small cities; 2. notice ugly house on photo #7 (Sotsgorod) - people in Russia often spend 20 years of their lives just to buy small box in ugly house like this, to own it and call it "home". Most of russians don't even consider renting.

"I have not idea about the structural analysis in this case."

There's your problem. The chainstays are there for Good Reasons. http://www.mece.ualberta.ca/tutorials/ansys/BT/Bike/Bike.htm... If you take them out, now most forces on the bike effect one point in the frame, right beneath the saddle. Making the frame stronger requires more material (=weight) or better material (=price), whereas a rhombus of two triangles solves the problem efficiently.

In other words, you are proposing a problem to which the current bike design is the solution.
Perhaps, but this is to answer the call of 'os-native' packaging. I'd figure between msi+pkg+rpm+deb you'd have most of the bases covered.
I just think it makes more sense to me to see it this way; then you can say holding onto investments that will be popular for the rich or the price of Bitcoin should go up in this model. It also implies there is no asset bubble despite people repeatedly saying it, instead there is too much cash/cash is worth too little.
It's worth noting that the person behind it is a humorist and cartoonist, and while I expect that he'll actually sharpen a pencil if you pay him, it is almost certainly not meant to be taken as a serious method of pencil sharpening. I expect the significant increases in price after the service's inception—over an order of magnitude—reflect this.

The service is connected with a book that a New Yorker review suggests is classified as humor by its publisher out of a lack of "avant-garde reference" sections in bookstores.
The efforts might not be the same.
Good to know, cheers for that.

Perhaps taking payment before an order is placed so that as soon as the target amount is hit the order is automatically placed.

bicycles facing left: 75 %

bicycles facing right: 25 %

That's unexpected. For some reason I'd think more would be facing right than left, and if I were to draw one it would probably be facing right too. I don't know why but it seems to feel more "natural". I just Googled images for "bicycle" and 32 out of the first 40 were facing right.

I noticed all the renders were facing right as well, even if the original drawing wasn't.

I wonder if the dominance of right-hand-traffic countries is related.
But there is no inflation, right? Right?
That might not hold up in court. By showing up to work (and getting paid in return), there's an implicit contract.

I don't know enough about law (and neither do I know your jurisdiction), to say whether that implicit contract would include the non-compete they obviously wanted you to sign.
"Tech bubble" sounds like something completely different anyway...
You may want to compile some list of counterexamples or few will treat you seriously.

I'm skeptic. It takes dedication and time to become an expert. And the older you are, the easier it is to find yourself working for survival all your time or get lost in bullshit and no longer have the clarity of mind to learn.
Why would cash being invested "cause high inflation"?

Inflation depends on a number factors, whether it be productivity, supply, unemployment, etc, or how that cash is being spent. If it's being invested, who's to say it isn't in capital goods, thereby reducing cost of goods?
Richer neighbourhoods are actually over-represented in the US military compared to the general population, especially since 9/11.

I thought the Sotsgorod photo looked surprisingly Western European! Reminds me of the apartment a friend lives in in Copenhagen. Maybe a more recent paint-job on the Danish version, but otherwise similar architecture.

Get ready to laugh your ass off
This seems to be good advice.

Additionally, I've found that at the point of employment projects don't need to be more than an idea; as long as you get them included with the contract, a simple abstract of what is covered is enough to give you something to play with whilst employed by said company.

Oh, and make sure to include projects even if you don't deem them to conflict with the company's area of core business. IME they'll be met with a chuckle and a 'not sure why these are here', but when the company is subsequently working out how to jump on the latest buzz bandwagon your side project may suddenly fall under some random wing of interest. Far easier to get it in there early.
Most traffic signs and signs on bicycle roads have bicycles facing left, maybe that's why?

Uber likely isn't giving up any more information than your typical taxi company does to ensure they aren't falling afoul of transport regulations.
Yeah, but considering your core competency is "kill the bad guys" rather than "manage and police subcontractors", you're more likely to get good results by sticking to what you know.
For me the most impressive thing is - these are not renders. (S)he had done it in photoshop.
>In Texas there's UT and to some extent Rice... neither in Dallas.

How do you mean "to some extent Rice"?

Rice is #18 in the US News ranking of top colleges in the US and has a 17% admission rate--the highest rated univ in Texas. It has a top-notch CS dept, most particularly well known for its compiler research.

Disclaimer: I did not attend Rice, but know several people who attended its CS program.
If I wrote a book about the Norman invasion today in Germany, saying the book "originates ~1000 CE in England" would at least be extremely misleading, no matter how factual any claims in the book might actually be.
