1. Talk to your friends, families, and anyone in the property management company world. Make a list of 10-20 questions and simply ask them for their advice. In this case, keep in mind that you're trying to identify a pain point. Once you do, dig deeper and make sure that the pain is real.
2. Once you have a solid understanding of the pain point from a potential customer's point of view, it's time to test it. In this case, frame your idea and try to sell it with the pain point in mind in order to get a potential pilot customer. If you can't get five people to agree to potentially using your product, you probably haven't identified your key pain point. If you can (and they are willing to pay you to build it out) then you're probably on to something.
3. Think about the KPIs that you want to track as you're going to experiment your idea.
4. Scale down the idea to it's core and build an MVP. Then go test it with those pilot customers. Talk to them consistently to see why they would continue using the product or why they stopped.
5. Learn from your pilot customers, build case studies, and start growth hacking.
So 2/3-5/6 of black students at the top 25 schools are outliers? Or black students are wildly disproportionately likely to play 3 sports, 9 instruments and have 300 extra-currics?

I'd love to see data supporting this claim.

That sure goes against stereotypes, which suggest it's mainly Asian students who do that.
McDonald's is also doing product development and managing logistics.

Perhaps the authors of the toolkit are better positioned to judge what the release policy and development approach should be. They take long term stability requirement of outside parties into account with this new approach.

I'm not sure why they couldn't use the benefit of being in control of the toolkit while developing GNOME, and write some adapter layer, like KDE.
Most of these look like shit in chrome.
Taxes.

US prices are exclusive of sales tax where applicable, in the EU you have on average about 20% of VAT (which is always included in the MSRP) on consumer electronics, the EU also has on average higher import tariffs than the US.

The price i see in the UK is 309GBP which is 435USD which is actually less than 399$ + 20% VAT, so oddly enough the Yanks are the ones getting screwed in this process if you believe that VAT is justified.
For the UK at least the price is about identical to someone from NYC buying the phone for 399$ + ~9% surtax which is about 435$.
I made something similar with my own data recently. With ~330k plays and 11 years of data, I really enjoyed seeing the long-term changes and trends in my music habits.

I could see where my tastes would change based on where I was in my life (high school, college, entering a relationship, etc). These transitions marked huge changes in my tastes.

It was also cool to see other trends. For example, I found that I have a "concert bounce" where I listen to an artist much more after seeing them live.
I think it varies from patient to patient. In my case, 2 separate courses of 6 treatments resulted in almost no short term memory loss.
I still find it unreasonable. Suppose the carrier group is waging war against a country. Planes from the carrier are bombing the country. Would that country not be allowed to defend itself by retaliating against the very forces that attack it?

Any country with the ability to sink the carrier that attacks them, would sink it, and it would be entirely reasonable for them to do so in the interest of defending their sovereignty. Responding to self-defense with nuclear escalation would be utterly unreasonable. And the loss of 6000 people, while tragic, does not justify the use of nuclear weapons either. If it did, we would have had nuclear war long ago.
The idea that equal rights should mean equally capable bodies, or that the rights and titles afforded to someone should be determined by anything other than their humanity or proven ability, is both arrogant and extremely repulsive.

I shall not respond to any further comments from you, and the idea that you can persuade me out of this idea with points that are spurious at best, while simultaneously ignoring the entirety of human history, where women have fought and proven time and time again that they are equivalent in ability to men, is at best silly and at worst dangerously ignorant.

You couldn't have handled this situation any more gracefully. I hope your engine finds a game... or a game finds your engine.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

For what I do, which these days is mostly embedded programming, I've gotten used to the fact that even a wimpy laptop's CPU and RAM far outstrip what I had on my desktop a few years ago. I was just looking at some e-mails I sent in 1993 where I was talking about building a compressed trie structure for a database to go on CD-ROM, on a Pentium machine, and how it kept running overnight and crashing. These days it could easily fit in RAM without hitting VM and I'm not sure it would even make the fans speed up. (Hmmm, I think I might have the old data set and source; I should give it a try!)

Once in a while I have to do something horrific, like build an embedded Linux kernel with customizations on a VM... and that is punishing, so I do try to run that on a desktop box with some Xeons...
> How we got to the point where utility-style regulation is seen as the key to ensuring a free and open internet is a true puzzle.

It's not even vaguely a puzzle. There used to be a vibrant ISP market. Large existing companies destroyed it. The best case for most Americans is oligopoly; for many, there's effectively a monopoly.

Utility-style regulation is not as good as a vibrant market. But it's a lot better than monopolists stifling innovation and extracting monopoly rents.

> How many people keep things laden with adverts?

I dont know but this doesn't really have anything to do with the advertising model. Ads don't need to be around forever to do their job. Digital ads are by definition very ephemeral and instantaneous.

> Things that come as they are, unadulterated, are things I place a higher value on. By and large adverts mark things out as cheap.

That's because ads do make goods/services cheap(er). If you dont want ads, then you have to make up the cost by paying it yourself. You're just talking about a spectrum on how much of the true cost you want to pay.

> but I like to pay more, lose the crap and that be it.

Ok, you can do that. More publishers are starting to offer paid subscriptions and there are services like patreon, flattr, blendle, optimal, google contributor and more. More choice is good but most will choose ads for free content.

Na I expect either the industry will get into the hip of 'organic' diamond (they already used impurities giving a more nuanced color as differentiator) or will just expand laws to prevent sales of synths as jewlery.

They already lobbyed the laws once after all and they aren't shorter on cash this time around so..
I spent 80% of the time on docs and I am making sure that every doc I write I follow like I have no idea what this project is about.

This means, going back with every step of the doc and making sure it is 100% reproducible and viable.

The most frustrating thing to me in the Devops world is missing documentation because the author thinks/assumes his readers know X or Y.

With these docs (and I would appreciate any feedback here or on Github) it's not the case, you can follow it as an engineer with no Devops background and you will be able to bootstrap the cluster.

It's still very much an effort and a WIP, but it's getting there.
Personally, I love working at a startup that purposefully has no exit strategy. If you can grow as quickly as you want to and stay profitable the whole time, there's no point in relinquishing control of the company to the whims of institutional investors.

When the last startup employing me (I was an entry level dev/A-round hire) exited, exercising my options left me with a paltry sum of money, a giant corporation i had no intention of being part of, and a product doomed for eternal stagnation. Overall a really bad exchange.

At my work we just decided this week that we will no longer support IE or Edge. We won't actively block them (or show a message) and if the site works in those browser then great. But, we won't test in IE or Edge and we won't make any bug fixes just for those browsers. Frankly the number of users using those browsers (low for our site) versus the number of hours required to fix problems with those browsers (high in our experience) makes it a poor business decision to continue to support them. Though, lets face it, some of the decision also come down to a sense of Schadenfreude after all the pain MS gave to web developers for so long. I started as a web developer in 1996 and I'd be delighted if both IE and Edge went away forever.
Agreed. Although you can also type in a phrase of your own choosing and click "Apply to All" and it will.

> "The big guys (ISPs and content providers) all share revenue already and will continue to."

Ah, I see where you've got things mixed up now. Net neutrality stops the need for content providers to share revenue with ISPs. They have no financial interest in doing so, therefore the practice won't continue, it will stop.
Any reasons why the UberRUSH api wants to see what items are inside the box? If UPS and FedEx can legally get away with it, is Uber just trawling for more data to hoover up here?

>Tomorrow maybe it is price controls in the name of consumer fairness.

It's not clear that's a bad thing, or that it's a worse state of affairs than the fast lane/slow lane rent-extraction schemes the telecoms clearly want. Cornering markets (be they capital, IP/copyright, infrastructure, etc) and extracting rent is a primary strategy of multinational corporations these days, and as wealth is increasingly concentrated into their hands, that is an increasingly viable strategy. The telecoms are working toward exactly this with the Internet.

>Or maybe it is mandated compliance with government snooping orders in the name of national security.

The telecoms running the internet have already brought us that [1]. Net neutrality is orthogonal to that problem.

>It might just work great as long as the good guys are in control. But what happens when it changes some day? And, if you think it cannot, then you have far, far more faith in human nature than I can possibly summon.

You seem to have far more faith in multinational corporate control of national economic infrastructure and the reliability of self-regulation via market forces than I can summon, especially in light of the continuous failures of both of those ideas in recent years - Enron/CA electrical infrastructure, GFC, IP/copyright, patent trolls, etc.

Hard to quantify the following assertion, but many concerned citizens sense the US government is still more accountable to citizens than large corporations are nowadays. The success of the crowd campaign for Net Neutrality is evidence, if not proof, of that. If there's a lesser of two evils here, it's FCC net neutrality rules, not a "free market" for what appears to be an unaccountable oligopoly-owned natural monopoly.

We often hear that social media can make people more depressed. It's worth seeing if that effect can not only be cancelled out but reversed.

With this in mind, it would be nice if they detected those who might be depressed and tailored the news feed to try to make people happier.

The race to the bottom in Germany has created a market where food is of good quality but not great. Larger supermarkets do have quite a bit of selection but it's not as good as the stuff you can get in a French or British store. You can get a fair selection of spices in stores other than Aldi or Lidl but sometimes I have the suspicion that it's only the third-class that is left after the stores in neighboring countries have bought their supply.

In Germany Aldi is known as the hardest negotiator and the price setter for basic food. When they lowered the milk price by one fourth to 46 cents recently (which is way too low to cover production cost) all other chains responded within a few hours for their store-brands.
A Survey of Deep Learning Techniques Applied to Trading – Greg Harris
Natural diamonds companies, for their part, are taking preventative measures to ensure they don't get edged out. ... On the first day of the show, a newly-formed alliance of natural diamond companies called the Diamond Producers Association unveiled a new marketing slogan: "Real is Rare." The campaign, which goes live in September, targets young shoppers who crave real products "in a world of superficial interactions," according to a press release the DPA put out. There's no mention of synthetics in the release, but it's clear the tagline implies that lab-grown diamonds aren't "real."

Don't count the mined diamond suppliers out yet. It's been all about marketing for decades so this is just the first shot.
> The thing about a full Carrier Strike Group is the blue water ability to project the US air power anywhere in the world.

This is why we have carriers and carrier groups. So that we can arrive in your nautical back yard and say "Here we are!" and get noticed. It's all about the high visibility projection of power thousands of miles away.

This was one of the objections about the UK government building the Queen Elizabeth class carriers. You don't need carriers unless you're intending on using them to project your military might into places you're not wanted in a highly visible way.

I don't think Apple ever publicly stated anything about it, but my $0.02 is on "The latter seems more plausible to me" in http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/213893:

"There is debate over whether Apple make the entire driver set themselves, or just take NVidia/AMD's core code & add their own hardware/OS-specific code to it. The latter seems more plausible to me, but either is just speculation."

I also notice that that page mentions drivers that can be downloaded directly from Nvidia, but gives no indication that either driver is significantly better than the other. That is not inconsistent with them essentially using the same source code.
Ah yes. Keep them in a perfectly balanced, harmonious state. /s

> I can see why zero-rating might be of interest to the FCC and I'm glad they decided to hold off on any rules for now. So far, I don't think there's been any consumer harm.

Why are you assuming that? Zero-rating raises barriers to entry which reduces competition. Less competition harms consumers.

> As for the hypothetical where a service will reimburse for fees (like my bank does when I use out-of-network ATMs), I have a hard time seeing any FTC issue.

Let's fit the analogy and see if you can spot it then. The ATMs are the ISPs and the ISPs have regional monopolies, so suppose there is one company that owns every ATM in California. Furthermore the government prohibits anyone else from constructing any ATMs in California.

The ATM company is also a bank. The ATM company is prohibited from favoring its own bank and charging its customers lower ATM fees, so instead the ATM company charges the same fees but the ATM company's bank offers to refund them. Do you see the trouble now? It's just a sham transaction to skirt the rule. And then the ATM company can raise its ATM fees to a hundred dollars because its bank's customers aren't paying them and it wants the other banks to go out of business.
Sorry to see you go. But I'm proud that you are going out the proper way by releasing source code. Having amazing projects like this die and never see the light of day is very sad and happens too often for my liking.

Good question. Scott, a psychiatrist, explains his reasons here: http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/04/25/in-defense-of-psych-tre....
The Facebook tack is interesting, because it's technically not a service for the suicidal individual; rather, it's a service for their friends who "really want to help, but... just don’t know what to say, what to do or how to help their friends." That's a unique angle, which sets it apart from, say Apple, which has taken significant steps since the first roleout of Siri to enable her to respond appropriately to certain queries (e.g., "I was raped" or "I want to commit suicide).[1,2] The conversation on how we want our electronics and services to behave is really interesting and one that is only going to get more complex as we get better at language and mood processing/modeling/profiling.

thanks, that's very good.

quick critique (wanted to contribute to this conversation while it's active rather than delve deeply into LLVM for the rest of the day :) it's (naturally and understandably) written from the perspective of "this is how it is, if you want to connect with what we do here's what you need to do".

As a pedagogical tool (that is still a compiling tool) it could use an intro of more "here is what a lexer needs to do, here's how/why we chose to do it, here is why what is downstream belongs downstream, here is an example using a language syntax that is extremely simple" (C is not), "here is an alternative way you could try to do it", etc.

But definitely you point up a good way to start toward [mystic music] "my dream goal" in this example.

Again tho, I'm wishing that there were tools and "a way" that ALL projects could be managed this way, not just one great complier, but the several great compilers and editors, and all-the-types-of-things-people-keep-having-the-urge-to-reinvent
"What's the problem with suicide at all?"

Aside from the horrible impact it has on friends and family (including the risk of it becoming contagious - http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/04/21/47484792... ), many people who attempt suicide and fail later decide that they are glad that they didn't go through with it.
It's seen as a problem because most people who attempt suicide regret it or change their mind later.
This is a case of it being simple but not easy.

The technical strategies are pretty straightforward but it's all the business policies, silo'ed data, bad integrations/tech, privacy issues/constraints, and (the worst of all) politics and outdated thinking, that cause these issues.

Attribution isn't that hard, it's basic analytics and statistical analysis - but half the agencies don't have any understanding of math or tech and just use last click wins with some unreliable vendor and probably poor implementation which ultimately hurts everyone.
This sounds really cool, but it also sounds like a really easy way for malware (delivered, say, in a drive-by malicious ad) to exfiltrate data from a browser.
