Nasdaq center in SF offers free classes for entrepreneurs
Yeah, that's supposed to be good business sense: you pay less money for the same amount of work. In truth though, you get what you pay for, always. Software works the same regardless of who writes it, where they live, or how much you pay them, so if you pay less for a piece of software you'll just get a piece of software that's worth less money.

It's exactly for this reason that big corporate software is generally shite: because they try to get it at a discount by paying low wages to consultants whom they think they can afford to underpay because they live in a poor part of the world (hint: India). Then they end up with horrible messes of software that nobody wants to work with, at which point they have to pay more money anyway to convince anyone to fix the mess.

It's just people thinking they're so smart when in fact they're short-termist and dumb.

Couldn't agree more. UK has govt, finance, media, energy & tech all in London, which is massively overweight at ~10M people in Greater London vs 65M across UK. Germany spreads it out far better with govt in Berlin, finance in Frankfurt, tech in Munich, and lots of industry around major cities like Stuttgart, Hamburg etc. Or look at Italy with govt in Rome, finance in Milan, industry in Turin. Or the US with NY, Chicago, SF, Boston, Houston, Dallas all as major centres.

I also use Inoreader and after using it for quite a while, I decided to pay for it to support the developers.

My preference is to use the mobile web interface [1] in a web browser for most of my RSS reading on a tablet or phone, rather than use the app. I find it gives me greater control over my reading experience.

For example, I've disabled image loading in feeds. And since I'm still in a web browser, I can open multiple tab views (each one displaying a separate category of RSS feeds) at once, letting me rapidly scan feed headings without the need to go back and forth between categories in the app; they just load in the background while I reading the headings in one tab.

With railroads, there is not an economic incentive for automation.

One commentator suggested that driverless trucks would have to be separated from human drivers. Railroads have this thing called "tracks"

Another suggested the wonderful advantage of a driverless truck not getting into accidents. Railroads have an excellent safety record.

Driverless trucks as a way to reduce the need to spend money on humans. Railroads need only 2 humans for 100+ unit train that is equivalent to 300 or so trucks. ( 1 railcar = 3 truckloads https://www.chrobinson.com/en/us/Logistics/Intermodal-Rail/C... )

Trains are 10x more ( http://grist.org/article/freight-trains-19th-century-technol... ) more energy efficient than trucks.

What is the economic model to use driverless trucks? Sure the trucking industry will push for this. But the railroad industry has so many natural advantages.

> At which employer is the work pace slow enough to have so much face time?

I think the point is exactly opposite - you duplicate this communication when the thing is urgent. Face time creates this sense of urgency, whereas a simple email may be sitting in an inbox for days.

Of course, if communication is duplicated for every little meaningless detail, then I agree it probably means people have too much free time.

An archive, RSS feed, and the pages are simple. I skimmed through last four

I think that misses one big point here; and a point that I live by: Don't waste your neurons and time.

Time is the most precious thing you have, so don't waste it learning stuff you won't need. Even if it's shinny. Resist, and for the things you do need, don't become an 'expert' -- pick the things you NEED and scope it well. Then hop along on the new tech that came around...

I always see any new thing I take on as an investment, and I try to make it pay down the line...

I didn't use to do that, and I'm an expert in a few tech that I had fun learning, but have absolutely zero relevance today. See, I can write Altivec code without the scalar version for example. That was useful for about 2 years...

The last time the All Blacks lost to Australia, in New Zealand, was 2001. That's 18 tests at home without loss to the Wallabies.[0] Of course, Australia hasn't been ranked second best in the world that entire time.

Against the Boks it's six home games all won, since the last loss in 2009.[1]

Overall, home and away, not quite the 95% originally suggested, but still incredibly dominant in the age of professional team sport.

Everyone keeps forgetting: unlike Amazon, FK has no profit generating units within the company.

EVERYTHING FlipKart does loses it money. If they don't get funding, they're toast as a company. If they jack up prices, they lose customers to Amazon.

In this unending war, Amazon has a secret weapon: AWS. AWS is a massive cash cow for Amazon that's also profitable. This is profit Amazon can keep pumping back into its other businesses, including the loss making Amazon India operations.

FK will run out of money before Amazon does. Simple as that.

Wouldn't it be much easier to assure security on roads if every car had to have 50 USD short-range (500 m is enough) radio transmitter that sends its velocity and position (from GPS).

It's obviously possible techincaly (see cheap tablets), and from law POV (see seat belts requirement).

It would be useful (the device can have cheap black and white lcd screen and show "radar"-like view with cars ahead and behind).

It would also increase security even if there are no automated cars (overtaking tall cars will be much easier for one thing). Of course - if some cars don't use it - it's actaully decreasing security, so there needs to be adjustment period.

And when these things are in place - automated cars are much easier problem.
The OS will initialize the memory of the stack to 0 before the program starts. But before main is called, the compiler is free to insert other code that runs before main. gcc inserts a function named __libc_start_main that runs before main. This code will modify the content of the stack. So when main is run, the stack where the uninitialized local variable is has a decent chance of not being 0 anymore.

This is easily testable.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
char* pointers[20];
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 20; ++i) {
printf("%p\n", pointers[i]);
}
return 0;
}

And yes when I run it, most of the pointers are not null.

How to Welcome a New User
An analogy to a magazine subscription would be a for-pay email newsletter. In that case, if the newsletter was sent, obviously the company is owed.

But in the case of a passive web site subscription, if the customer stops accessing the site and stops the method of payment, no services have been rendered, and no cost has been incurred by the company. Web server logs could even prove this (although the company could also falsify them).

So a better analogy would probably be a gym membership. Imagine a gym refuses to allow a customer to cancel in-person or on the phone, instead requiring the customer to mail a letter. So a customer, justifiably angry at this, calls his bank or credit card and stops future payments, and never sets foot in the gym again. Now, no services have been rendered after that date, and no costs have been incurred by the gym. They are owed nothing--if not legally in all jurisdictions, then ethically and morally, and therefore legally it should be the same.

I would like to see this tested in court, even a small claims court. In the case of a company intentionally making it difficult and time-consuming to unsubscribe, and a customer cancelling the payment method due to that difficulty, I have a feeling that most judges would side with the former customer. And as has been pointed out, in many places this is not legal, and I would not be surprised if that included several U.S. states.

More and more sites are dropping their feeds and replacing them with their stupid 'sign up via email to receive updates' nonsense.
I think there are several other reasons why hard sciences developed more than soft sciences in former Communist states:

1.You can't really use ideology to fight them. If a researches comes and says that 2 + 2 = 4, even the most fervent apparatchik (Communist party member) would have had a hard time spinning it into 2 + 2 = -1. While in other fields such as sociology or history... things are a bit more malleable.

2. They're practical and quite far removed from anything that might stir up anti-establishment actions.

3. The "1984" factor: if you need highly skilled mathematicians and physicists for your weapons, you really need them. You wouldn't want to issue your army 7.5mm rounds for their 7.62mm rifles because someone was bad at engineering :)

Sorry to burst your bubble here -- but the railroads were doing exactly that since the days of refrigeration via blocks of ice. ( http://californiabountiful.com/features/article.aspx?arID=56... )

> Now retired after more than 30 years in the produce business, Wolf noted that farmers began growing iceberg lettuce in the region just prior to the 1930s. The demand for the hearty lettuce variety soon took off through the use of refrigerated rail cars.
>Your problem is that you make shit. A lot of shit. Cheap shit. And no one cares about you or your cheap shit. And an increasingly aware, connected, and mutable audience is onto your cheap shit. They don’t want your cheap shit. They want the good shit. And they will go to find it somewhere. Hell, they’ll even pay for it.

I have said this almost verbatim to many many people, and they stare at me like I've grown two heads, and I don't get why. Content attracts eyeballs, bad content burns eyeballs. This is why TV dying (and depending on who you ask, already dead), this is why radio is basically dead, this is why content delivery systems that have large libraries full of good things have won the battle (Netflix, et al.).

If you don't fuck up, you win. Big media doesn't understand this basic rule anymore. You can't buy eyeballs anymore, not like you used to. You have to give them a reason to stay, because no one cares about your branding; no one cares that CNN said it, or it aired on CBS prime time, or even it was some NPR podcast. They are if it is accurate and/or sufficiently entertaining or thought provoking.

If you have a history of producing good content, people will subscribe/follow/whatever. If you have a history of producing bad content, people will tell other people. The worst case? You Fox News it, and an echo chamber of people hating your brand engulfs your entire company and slowly burns it to the ground.

That'd be a disaster on single-lane roads. Even with human trucks and their help (signalling if road is clear, driving on the shoulder when possible etc), it sucks to overtake them. If trucks were limited to 70km/h, there'd be much more need to overtake them. Which would either cause either traffic congestion or more drivers doing reckless things. Let alone that non-driverless trucks/buses/campers/etc would be stuck behind them forever.

An example of a law written with the (gender neutral) victim's interest in mind is that of statutory rape - you can contain all the consent you like but if the person is not viewed as being able to give it then an offence is committed.

Almost. If they were not able to consent (due to age, inebriation, mental illness, etc.) then there was no consent. But if you had a well-founded belief in their ability to consent, then you are not culpable.

In Canada it has been held to be unconstitutional for a criminal offence "where it is not open to the accused to exculpate himself by showing that he was free of fault" to have incarceration as a possible punishment; such absolute liability is valid for such things as parking tickets, however. Offences such as statutory rape are instead "strict liability" offences: The prosecution is not required to show intent, but an accused can raise the defence of due diligence.

The situation is a bit murkier in the USA, but courts have accepted (see e.g., Kantor) a "good faith" defence even where the legislature has explicitly rejected the mens rea requirement.
Probably because the team here would still be acting as an individual unit - this isn't a union for all workers that cuts across the entire industry and it's workforce.
