I don't find it to be incomprehensible. I think it makes sense once you get using it, but it's definitely a non-native feel on any OS. I, too, absolutely agree that it's intentional. Keeps the grandmas from using it and once people figure it out there's a great connection to the app - people have invested in it and felt the reward of understanding its intricacies.
For both of those examples, they weren't winning. They started winning when they had breakneck speed.

Specifically Dominos was taken over and completely restructured to move really fast.
I was curious about this as well. I believe Google started indexing tweets in 2014. Twitter gave Google a slice of the data well before then.

If this is correct, I'm curious if those unindexed URLs were Twitter.com URLs (tweets) or 3rd party URLs, meaning those pages were shared on Twitter before Google indexed them.

Edit: grammar
For me it was mainly twitter for news. Facebook was useful immediately after the quake to let family back home know that I was OK while the phone lines were still jammed. I also used it as a way to relay news in English to Facebook friends in Japan who can't read Japanese.
Fast is not how you win either as shown by the recent unicorns. The truth is that sometimes you need to go slow and sometimes you need to go fast. Actually I don't really like the term "slow" because it suggests laziness, bureaucracy, or decision paralysis. I like the term "patience" better. Be diligent and efficient, but not hasty and if you get a bit of good luck (e.g. being a Parse competitor when Parse announces it will shutdown) then move really fast to capitalize on it.
Do you think it should be possible to insure yourself out of liability for gross invasions of privacy?

It's not the insurance company that has wronged him. It's perfectly reasonable for Bollea to seek deterrence rather than settlement money/damages. Anyone would prefer that, unless they were forced to settle for something else for money reasons. Usually the plaintiff would settle/go for damages because they have to prefer money, because going to court is damn expensive.

So saying this was unfair and vindictive is presuming that the status quo, where money decides court cases, is just and reasonable. That Bollea should have been forced to go for the money because he's not really rich, he just has a rich backer. But I disagree with that. As long as money matters in court, the more people get access to multimillionaire justice the better.
No, because it only simulates a very small part of reality. For example it could never estimate the weather for the next 2 hours by looking at a formation of heavy clouds.
>While this may not be true of the high tech entrepreneurship

Right. While still generally debated, when talking about "startups", across the board speed, aka high growth, is the common factor [1].

If the discussion is around "entrepreneurship" generally, then high growth and speed isn't even a goal usually.

"Only" exploit developer?

https://github.com/zv/otp

I was writing the fuzzing machinery for the BEAM instruction decoder AND EPMD while you were ... doing much more impressive stuff.

Besides paragons of industry like myself, The "CUTER" guy (known by his friends as "Greek Fire") has done considerable work in manually verifying and pretend model checking large swaths of the Erl OTP code, despite being less "vulnerable" than the biffer or port-mapper (for example), DOES happen to comprise the vast majority of the OTP code base.

Other people have done admirable work in reviewing OTP, patching remotely exploitable holes and advancing our security posture. Unsurprisingly this breed of hacker doesn't bother registering a catchy domain name with a dope live stunt-hacking demo to Wired.

This is to say you've never heard of them.

Bill Clinton, a politically left-leaning president, "ended Welfare as we know it."

Why?

The old Welfare rolls created generational poverty and dependence and low or zero productivity in the multi-generational groups who received it.

Also, the German government decided Basic Income was not feasible for the following reasons:

- it will cause a significant decrease in the motivation to work among citizens, with unforeseen consequences for the national economy

- it requires a complete restructuring of the taxation, social insurance and pension systems, which will cost a significant amount of money

- the current system of social help in Germany is more effective because it's more personalized: the amount of help provided is not fixed and depends on the financial situation of the person; for some socially vulnerable groups the basic income could be not sufficient

- it will cause a vast increase in immigration (leading to unbudgetable costs to cover everyone)

- it will cause a rise of the shadow economy

- the corresponding rise of taxes will cause more inequality: higher taxes will translate themselves into higher prices of everyday products, harming the finances of poor people

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income.

It's troubling that so many of our educated young people fail to correctly predict that giving people money will de-motivate them.

California, Illinois and New Jersey -- and Venezuela -- tax the bejeezus out of their citizens. And the problem is, the tax base can leave. The taxpaying citizens can look at their taxes going up with no tangible benefit to them personally (no roads, bridges, schools etc. improvements, just transferring their money to others to provide 'basic income').

All three states are losing taxpayers and job creators and in some cases gaining non-taxpaying, benefits-seeking citizens in greater numbers than those who leave.
I think BI in some form is definitely a path worth exploring (if not inevitable), but how will it gain political support short of some level of revolution?

In Australia, and I imagine the US too, there is always a lot of noise and strong support for movement of power and money out of government and into increasingly consolidated corporations. Privatisation of state assets and services, etc. I know that the idea of "small government" is very popular in the US.

How might BI come to pass into popular use? The jobless masses taking up their garden tools? Or private enclaves of some sort?

On the surface you might think that successful experiments could encourage government support, but many point to the successes of the Nordic model and it rarely motivates the right to widen the safety net.
Right? You need to do small-scale pilot programs to see if the basic premises even make sense before you can do large-scale pilot programs that last for decades or install a BI at the scale of a state government, or a small country.

The general critique seems to be: the only way to study BI at any level is to run experiments that last for a person's full lifetime. It seems insane to me that you wouldn't do small scale studies and pilot programs that gather data and build up to longer and longer studies.

When I'm designing a new system I don't say: the only way to validate that the concepts are correct are to write the production-grade code at all levels and see if it works. You find ways to validate key assumptions and build smaller scale proof-of-concept models to see if any of your theories are just totally broken.
How is a UI like this put together? It seems so far beyond my skills but it must be able to be broken down into components / steps.

Depends on what you're measuring.

Fast is absolutely how you win - but it matters when you are fast. That's the whole point of Venture money, to go fast aka "Growth Capital". You don't do that in the beginning, you are patient but if you want to grow, you have to grow quickly, otherwise you get taken out by a larger competitor who can get to market faster. Failed unicorns put growth capital before they have a solid market position.

Last time I looked at this, it seems the number of supported microcontroller are limited. It is usually depends whether llvm supports it or not.

I was wondering if the Rust front end of llvm can be ported to other compiler engines. That could open up the number microcontrollers supported quite quickly.
Sam mentioned in How to Start a Startup that he advises giving 10% of the company to the first ten employees. Assuming even distribution, I've been curious myself to know if the founding team lacks technical co-founders, would the first engineering hire be worth more equity?
That's exactly the use case the tool arose from.

The main con is the RAM overhead introduced by running LibreOffice instead of splitting the application up into a database and code. For me con this is nullified by the amount of time saved not having to re implement the logic and now, like you mention, the onus is on the team who created the spreadsheet to fix any bugs in their logic.

I refrained from calling you a racist even after you said the obviously racist thing. Moreover you first implied I'm racist out of the blue, because I disagree with a SCOTUS Justice who happens to be black. Also:

> The belief that races may be different in average ability with respect to certain characteristics or that members of certain races have their own preferences is not racist.

Quoting this for posterity in case you try to edit it out later. Sorry for you, I think you'll find the belief that black people are just not "on average" intelligent enough to be enrolled at university in the same proportion as white people, or that women are just too emotional to be in tech, or whatever, are rather unpopular opinions and likely to get you labeled (indeed, correctly) a racist and a sexist. Good luck with that.
Right, but we have no data on this theory right now.

Wouldn't it make more sense to start at a small-scale and validate that it's even possible that it works? What if they spend the money to do a 5-year study and find that all participants are massively irresponsible with the money and that BI would be a disaster of a social policy?

Why commit to a 45-year experiment when we have no data right now? The scientists working on nuclear fission aren't saying: "Let's give up because we can't build a commercial scale energy positive reactor". They're saying: "Let's make progress one small-step at a time on a path that gets us there eventually".
I agree about how insipid these discussions can get. The bottom line is there is no degree requirement that guarantees the individual possesses curiosity about our world or an ability to grasp and then explain complex ideas.

What clouds the discussion even further is that many of the people involved are far enough removed from that time in their life that they can't remember what they knew or didn't know about anything. I look back and think about how much I could have learned if I had spent less time doing things like video games, or watching sports or whatever, without realizing that so much has changed in 15+ years that alot of what I find interesting may not have been invented then. Or if it was, it wasn't that important to me.

I think you also have to organize and get money out of and honest people into politics. Just consider Stav Shaffir, who near the end of this video makes some very good points about idealists and their aversion to power:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eqCprXn_UY

If more people were "more like that", and if more of them would manage the "quantum leap" into serious politics, that would still be slow and painful, but at least more than asking for things or offering facts. Don't get me wrong, that is all very necessary and good, but it's not quite enough IMHO.
I get the appeal to an extent, but the interface is so bad I don't use it much. As an almost 40 something with an increasingly poor memory, I often lose track of the "conversation" because previous messages in the (non)thread have disappeared.
> I've had a very difficult time competing for top talent.

The problem is this idea of looking for top talent.

The vast majority of people in virtually any human endevor are mediocre. Be it an orchestra, army or corporation. Maybe 5% to 10% of an organization is top talent, the rest are average.

What makes any organization excel is having managers and leadership who can take a team of average folks and make them produce brilliant sounding symphonies. Develop THAT skill and you'll have no limits.

>one of those things that divide programmers into two groups: one that instantly sees the elegance of this design and thinks it's so natural and obvious, and one that gets eternally confused by it.

Believe it or not, there are people who are capable of figuring out C's cute little "round trip through the integers" trick, but who would rather not deal with that bullshit every time they want to compare two values of non-numerical type. It's not elegant, it's not natural, it's only "obvious" to those of us who have had the standard workarounds for C's inexpressiveness drilled into our skulls, and if it were any different, we wouldn't bother with comparison operators in the first place!

I mean, I get that it's fun to squeeze useful semantics out of terse code, especially in an environment as constrained as C. But please don't act like the rest of us are stupid just because what you regard as elegant, we regard as more of a clever hack to be put up with for want of a simple equality operator.

NB: I'm not expecting they'd actually do the below. The political downsides of being efficient in your FOI requests are too great to seriously expect somewhere like the Mayor's office would dedicate effort in to achieving it. But document/record management is not some mystical never before done thing.

Somewhere in the 9.5 million dollar budget of the Mayor of Chicago [1] they could squeeze out $20k for a HP Records Manager setup (or any of the dozen competing software packages) and just blindly catalogue all emails in to it. Even without setting up ANY of the business classification features it makes this kind of search trivial.

Perhaps it could come out of the 1.4 million dollars allocated to the "Innovation delivery team" who "Creates and implements new solutions to improve the efficiency of City government.".

That's the debate only in your own mind. You've completely failed to grasp the not-so-nuanced context. He's not talking about the raising of the child, but the meaningless, but necessary, work that goes with it.

Watching my kid succeed at something that I've helped her to learn is very fulfilling. But no matter how much you protest, being a stay-at-home dad was filled with thankless, unfulfilling tasks. I gagged -every- -single- -time- I changed my kid's diapers. The "result" of changing those diapers? Another filled diaper.

No matter how much of a rock star she is and becomes, changing diapers wasn't, isn't, and will never be a fulfilling task. And parenting is absolutely filled with similar tasks.
I wish I was pulling that kind of money here. From my anecdotal experience, I had friends that started at 35k/y as frontend devs, and 65k / year at IBM for c++ , both fresh out of univ. I agree that 75k with few years under the belt seems reasonable.

But, we should move to where the 225k jobs are it seems :)
As a question:

* How much more food will be consumed if we add a Basic Income? Most people are already eating enough food to keep them alive. It might go up at the margins as people who are currently food-insecure would be able to consume more, so let's say the overall consumption of food rises by 1-2%.

* How much more housing will be consumed if we add a Basic Income? Most people are again already consuming enough housing to keep themselves sheltered. It, again, might up up at the margins as more homeless participate in housing programs and people move up a little bit. But, again, the overall consumption of housing will only increase by a couple of percentage points.

Will Basic Income increase inflation on bare necessities? Yes, a little bit. But significantly less inflation than the income provides. The real increase in inflation will be in discretionary spending (movie theatre tickets, video games, investment portfolios, etc). But, bare necessities won't see a massive increase in inflation simply because, by definition, people are already mostly getting these.

However, ever-larger scale studies are the only ways to get real data on these effects.

There's a few possible answers:
* Microsoft doesn't know about it
* Microsoft doesn't care about it
* The website has ignored C&Ds
* [insert other reasons]

I'm actually most inclined to think "Doesn't care" is the correct answer. None of these builds are under support and it's unlikely that your necessary drivers or apps will run on it. They're alpha and beta builds of Windows Vista, for crying out loud -- even the full release is getting long in the tooth (and programs like Chrome and Firefox are dropping support).
> This is fixable. 6 months maternity leave followed by 6 moths paternity leave. Make it a law that spouses have the right to that 6 months.

This is similar to how it works in parts of the EU. You have maternity leave, paternity leave, and parental leave. The latter can be taken by either parent. The amount of time allocated to each category varies from country to country.

Leave must be requested (I think) 21 days in advance, and an employer that punishes you for taking parental leave can be taken to an employment tribunal.

I don't think the complaint is that the compiler won't accept a struct sockaddr_in* where the API expects a struct sockaddr* . I think the complaint is that the API is designed in such a way that obtaining the required struct sockaddr* involves casting between incompatible types. There are more robust ways of doing type erasure, even in C.
RL systems do experiment by that definition. For instance, DeepMind's first Atari player used an epsilon-greedy exploration/exploitation strategy: choose the action the model suggests is best with probability 1 - e, choose a random action (that is, "try different things") with probability e.

I don't what you mean by the "system's output" when talking about theories, but it seems to me that even by your definition, the weights of the ANN can be understood as a theory.

Having several theories is the same as having one theory, "one of these theories is more correct", or possibly "some combination of these theories is correct". If you define it as one theory instead of several, you can still improve it. (As I recall, some RL systems have multiple "heads", in a way corresponding to multiple theories).
