I didn't even understand his follow up to the engineer saying it rolls off at 250MHz:

> Current: Yes, but if you’re at a station and kind of frustrated with the bassy, boomy sound you get on your studio mic, and you can’t get the engineering staff to do anything about it for you, one thing that you could do yourself is to look on the mic and see if there is a bass roll-off switch, and turn it on.

SF MAN FIGHTS EVICTION AFTER RENT INCREASE FROM $1,800 PER MONTH TO $8,000
There's a lot of talk about investors not being as easily available outside SV, but having worked for startups outside the valley most of my career my experience is that it's actually the rich customer bases you're missing by not being in the valley. I think it's easier to evangelise a product where there's a huge receptive audience, and doing it in person is much more effective. Trying to sell people on some new tech in a 1 million person or less city is hard, even when that city has decent official support for startups.

Businesses are more cautious and there are harder to cross barriers to word of mouth spread for consumer oriented businesses. For example, I worked for a social network started before Facebook that was used by nearly every teenager in a large region, but we could not break out of that region no matter what we tried. The kids in the schools in our region just didn't interact outside the region much, so there were no network effects.

In the valley, though, nearly everyone you meet is excited about tech somehow. Many people are from somewhere else in the world and are still in some way connected to where they're from, both in terms of businesses and people. It's just fertile ground for network effects.
I am not using Facebook, but if it weren't for uBlock origin and friends, Facebook would be using me.
People have been complaining about the editorial standards continuously since at least 2000, but that doesn't magically lend more weight than any other subjective assessment unsupported by evidence.

As for advertising, how do you expect them to hire writers and editors or run a high-traffic website without advertising? They've offered paid subscriptions for years and subscribers don't see ads at all but not enough people have taken them up on it.
Is there a European startup capital at all?

As for London's time as banking capital of Europe being over - at this stage all anyone knows for sure is that a "small" majority of the UK voting public voted indidacated they would like the UK to leave the current EU - that's it.

And at this early stage absolutely none of the UK or EU governing bodies or institutions currently know how this leaving process is going to be implemented or end - if it even starts.
Index funds just reflect the entire market. The stock market crashes frequently, e.g. 2001, 2008, etc. In a bad crash, you could lose 50+%. And there's no guarantee of a swift recovery: in Japan, levels have still not recovered to the pre-1991 highs. With bonds however, if you are buying a high credit quality bond, you will almost certainly get your money back at maturity (in the interim, the price can decline due to changes in interest rates).

With a long enough investment horizon however, being invested in the entire US stock market has historically worked out very well, and should hopefully continue to do so in the future barring very extreme destabilizing world events. You should get growth that you cannot achieve with bonds.

So it all depends on your time horizon (e.g. longer than an economic cycle) and risk appetite (appreciation vs. maintaining principal).

I also vacationed in Barcelona this June and stayed in two different Airbnb rooms at $40 and $55 per night (including all fees). Both were private rooms, although bathroom was shared in both cases (I don't think I've been in an airbnb that had its own private bath). Granted, as a solo traveller I'm likely looking at different listings than you are, but the options on Airbnb were quite good, even during a major festival weekend (Primavera Sound).

CloudFormer requires you to run an EC2 instance to get access to your environment. I never understood the reasoning behind that, other than least-common denominator within AWS.

Since they already publish a decent SDK and have decent APIs this approach makes much more sense to me - list your set of stuff via the API you're already using, then munger it into CFN format.

The point the article is trying to make wrt immigration is that when the UK leaves the EU, it will also leave the free movement of workers zone, making it harder to attract immigrants, regardless of how London feels about them.
Interesting to note that the Scottish Indepndence referendum was open to non-Scots living in the country, and it tipped the balance below 50%, but if set up in the same way as the EU vote, they'd have met have had a majority.

They've been exploring smaller designs with better efficiency. Not just because of the shortage, but also because evergy gram counts in a spacecraft...

Well maybe every kilogram, but you got my point. Any savings in mass count, and if you get to cut 1% from the spacecrafts final mass, it can mean a lot in terms of speed and timings for the mission.

Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_ge...

The thermophotovoltaic cells look lik a very interesting approach, don't know why they haven't been used yet. With them, Cassini could've used 2 RTGs instead of 3, resulting in a mass saving of 57.5 kg (2% lower dry mass from one less RTG) and some extra power. I do take into account that this technology ws probably not developed enough when Cassini launched.
Regarding being the banking Ng capital: it's been two business days. You might be jumping the gun just a little.

I strongly suspect the UK won't be able to continue any passporting[1] arrangements because it would greatly benefit Germany's financial sector if foreign banks had to establish a European presence to trade within the EU. That is an existential threat to London's finance industry. Obviously it depends on trade negotiations with the EU as the UK leaves, but really, what benefit is there to the EU to let it continue the way it is? Why would they want the UK to carry on as it is now?

A few days ago I was visiting family, and my Mom was online Skyping relatives on her Windows 7 PC. She comes running into the other room and says her PC just restarted while she was talking, and now it says something about configuring Windows 10, even though she was always careful to opt-out of the constant requests to upgrade.

So, we had to wait for it to install the OS, then decline the terms of service, then wait for it to roll-back to the previous OS. I'm using Windows 10 and enjoy it, but I'm still tempted to migrate to another OS just because of these practices.
I'm not sure that makes much sense. By that logic I should be fine using "indian" rather than Native American or First Nation, because it's been a thousand years since Norwegian Vikings first killed Native Americans? (Which makes doubly no sense, as there were a number of Norwegians in the early settlements of the west, and I'm sure there are a few tales of horrors to be told about some of their exploits).

As for Roma in the USA, it appears that their invisibility is more the result of an almost complete eradication of their culture, more than anything else: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/12/22/american-gy...

iOS 10 GUI: Free Fully Customizable UI Kit for Sketch
Many UK citizens have an ISA which is a special account devised by the UK government, exempt from income tax and capital gains tax on investment returns. In other words, it allows you to shift wealth to avoid taxes. Is this unsavory?

Hate to keep repeating it but everybody arranges their affairs to minimize their tax bill thereby avoiding tax. It's not only legal, it's sensible. The government sets the rules (and changes or repeals them if it wishes) and good citizens obey them to the letter. If there's a highly devious suspect scheme afoot to minimize tax, the courts are there to examine it and make a judgement; if it is deemed to be tax evasion then serious consequences will and should follow.
Offtopic-ish; What makes London attractive besides investors though? I work at a (fintech) startup with an office just outside London and I don't see much positive things for startups there at all compared to, say, Berlin besides money. I see partners and other startups we work with moving out of London for all the reasons I would say London is not all that great for startups. Again, outside companies who get millions of funding so they can pay to be in London.

Quite a few of the tech jobs in the SE US are clustered around military bases. If you want to start a military-industrial complex contractor, and for some bizarre reason you cannot do it in the DC Sprawl, what you can do is find a {choose 1 or more: disabled, native American, veteran, female, or other lawfully preferred minority} figurehead to own 51% of your business, grab some office space near a base, and start submitting bids, which you then subcontract to someone with actual employees. Then you start hiring employees and have them work on-site. Then you get acquired by a giant like SAIC or CSC or Raytheon or Boeing. That makes the local labor pool employed by a company that is probably headquartered elsewhere.

The downside of this model is that you never get to actually build anything cool, so you either can't attract top talent, or they hate working for you and your neurotic government customer. So you have to slap on the silver handcuffs (high salary) to keep them from moving away.

It sort of poisons the well for other kinds of tech businesses. Top talent either doesn't want to be there or costs more than you might expect. Mediocre talent is happy to warm a chair to pad out a contract for the same salary you would pay to do actual work. And the dregs are the same there as everywhere else.
Considering our military spending is more than 50% that of the next European nation (Germany) I think the EU will certainly miss at least some of the things the UK brought to the table.

The EU does have a lot on its plate but in addition to domestic problems it has an unstable Ukraine, Russia eyeing any opportunity to bag a warm water shoreline and on top of that Islamic extremism leading to increasing tension inside and outside Europe.

The UK was able to negotiate such advantageous terms with the EU not because of European largesse but because of the many benefits the UK brought to Europe.

I can't predict who will suffer more from this, the UK or EU but I very much doubt that the majority of Europeans are glad to see the back of us.

I disagree. If you see the size of our governments and the amount of laws, it's absolutely mindboggling. Our laws have tens of thousands of pages and the volume of regulations and laws seem to be at an all-time high and growing. No substantial deregulation ever happened across the board in almost 100 years, possibly more. The volume of the regulation is so incredibly huge that even large and well funded companies are incapable of following them all, nor is it possible to enforce anything but an arbitrary selection. If you talk to industry leaders, CEOs and people in the business, you see that this is a real problem and a harmful practice everyone has to deal with every day.
Greg Brockman (Founder of Open AI) has written this amazing answer:

If you want to read one main resource... the Goodfellow, Bengio, Courville book (available for free from http://www.deeplearningbook.org/) is an extremely comprehensive survey of the field. It contains essentially all the concepts and intuition needed for deep learning engineering (except reinforcement learning).

If you'd like to take courses... Pieter Abbeel and Wojciech Zaremba suggest the following course sequence:

- Linear Algebra — Stephen Boyd’s EE263 (Stanford)
- Neural Networks for Machine Learning — Geoff Hinton (Coursera)
- Neural Nets — Andrej Karpathy’s CS231N (Stanford)
- Advanced Robotics (the MDP / optimal control lectures) — Pieter Abbeel’s CS287 (Berkeley)
- Deep RL — John Schulman’s CS294-112 (Berkeley)

(Pieter also recommends the Cover & Thomas information theory and Nocedal & Wright nonlinear optimization books).

If you'd like to get your hands dirty... Ilya Sutskever recommends implementing simple MNIST classifiers, small convnets, reimplementing char-rnn, and then playing with a big convnet. Personally, I started out by picking Kaggle competitions (especially the "Knowledge" ones) and using those as a source of problems. Implementing agents for OpenAI Gym (or algorithms for the set of research problems we’ll be releasing soon) could also be a good starting place.

I was forced to "upgrade" my iPad 2 to iOS 9.2, because I forgot my pin to unlock it. There is no way to factory reset it without updating the OS.
I mean, I didn't have to update it, but then I wouldn't be able to use it. My iPad was held hostage, although I guess it was my fault for forgetting my pin, right?

Here's a list of regressions in iOS 9:
- My sideloaded copy of Flux no longer works
- The built-in feature, to change the display temperature, is not available on my iPad 2, and the Flux app no longer works.
- Can no longer change audio output in Music app, to select between different bluetooth devices
- Battery life is worse
- BitTorrent Sync can no longer access my photos or videos
- For each bug they fixed, new bugs were introduced. In OneNote with text selection, and in Safari.

Why does nobody talk about all of the regressions in each OS update?

And of course, I had to update iTunes. And then of course I could no longer use it for development without updating my MacBook and XCode!

I use my iPad to develop medical software with an enterprise license on a closed environment, and do not need or /want/ the latest version of XCode.

I only used this device because it was provided by work, but I did start to grow fond of it and began using it more and more as a laptop replacement. I knew better than to buy an iOS device, since I've been burned by Apple so many times. I'd be happy to give you a long list of the ways Apple has been just as bad as Microsoft, except, Apple has a nice velvet glove when they are evil, whereas Microsoft is clay footed giant.
Agreed. The only complaints I have are about the start menu tiles, and those are easily removed.

This is fine advice if you're talented enough to startup without a co-founder. It's also fine advice if you're lucky enough to find a co-founder in your local talent pool.

However, if you find that starting up is beyond your individual skill set, and the people you enlist to help you come over to your garage and spend 10 mins programming and the rest of the time on YouTube and Reddit, you may want to move to a better startup ecosystem to find a more ambitious co-founder.
I kinda understand the mindset. In IT, we learn that pretty much everyone will be clueless on how to do something unless you make it nearly impossible for them to not. So when Microsoft's top support question was "how to I upgrade to Windows 10", it doesn't seem out of far field for them to think "how do we make it nearly impossible for them to fail".

There's no doubt Microsoft screwed this up for a number of reasons, including valid and important reasons some people need to stay on Windows 7. And had they not gotten into the whole telemetry mess, 90% of the people who didn't want the upgrade would've gone away.

But I understood the mindset.
Not necessarily. While one of the main goals of EU was bringing peace to the region, it is hard to establish how important it is in bringing peace to the region. Might as well say NATO fills that role good enough, because there hasn't been an armed conflict between two NATO members.

> According to Islam, the MP then pointed toward the Houses of Parliament and said: “Number 10 should have had a plan”.
