My personal impression is that the rise of mental conditions is an increase in diagnosis, not occurrence. An awful lot of people who, just a few decades ago, would have been dismissed as lazy, stupid, whiny, or the all-purpose "crazy" are actually starting to receive recognition and treatment. That's a good thing.
Speaking as someone who has helped develop two extremely successful mobile games "objective" goodness is pretty meaningless. People have more patience than you expect for a game that captures their imagination and will put up with buggyness. In the long run, if a game isn't polished it will lose because of retention. But pure technical polish is often overrated.
Ingress ultimately hard more complicated gameplay and less brand appeal
Microseconds are not enough, because the arbitrage works by the HFT setting the order in one place, and then rushing the arbitrage to the other place. As long as you're more coordinated than speed of light between the two locations, you're fine.

Also, GPS clocks are cheap and precise, atomic clocks seem gold plating. (Which sometimes is actually necessary in electronics, BTW...)
Many reasons.
Women don't want to marry because they don't want to stay at home and raise kids and take care of in-laws.
Men don't want to marry because they don't want to have to support a family and give up control of the finance to the women.
Work consists of 8 hour shifts and mandatory overtime up to 3 hour or more.
Which means the culture is not spontaneous and everything gets planned well in advance.
Guys are friends with only guys, girls only girls(mostly) so not much chance to meet and spend time with the other sex.
Starting salary is low and advances with age. In your 20s you make about 20k a year in your 30s 30k.

I'd like to thank the Wall Street Journal for this saga that has filled my heart with ever-lasting schadenfreude. And it keeps getting better!

>Ms. Holmes maintains a heavy security detail. Men with earpieces escort her wherever she goes outside the Palo Alto headquarters. Their code name for her is “Eagle 1,” current and former employees say.

I'd also like to point out that the WSJ is being quite honorable here in going after Theranos so hard. A ton of the board members are from the Hoover Institution, which has close ties with the Journal. They're making a lot of their own people look bad. And it honestly is pitiful that they sat on this board of a company that they clearly knew absolutely nothing about, beyond Ms. Holme's deceptive pitches.
Great points, but, rapid website development is a solved problem with templated builders. The problem comes when we need a more complex site/app than something Wix or Weebly or Wordpress can provide.

Then in current practice, it's often back to square one, but it shouldn't be. We have opininated frameworks like Rails and Django that save a lot of time, but only cover the featureset of a CRUD app. There is a lack of opinionated frameworks that work at a higher level, but still below that of drag-and-drop templated website generators.

Totally agree. I would pay 50 cents per month, but I don't want to manage 50 different 50 cent subscriptions.
Yes. I get the WSJ paper and online. They generally have deals (right now it's $1/week). The charts and data tables in the paper are probably the closest thing you can get to a business dashboard for the whole world. Fun to read each day to get a sense for everything from tech company valuations to the price of pork. Plus it's fun to have fresh reading material not on a screen. For $1 a week, one of the purchases I get the most value out of. I find it 10-100x more informative than any of the other papers, but I'm numbers oriented and others mileage may vary.
Everybody would see the arbitrage within the next trading cycle. So, rather than try to eliminate the arbitrage opportunity, put reaction times into a human time scale and let every actor share.

Tie breaks can be fair split with cryptographically random split for the last share, for example.

Yes, "all or nothing" would complicate, of it's still a necessity, but all those things are solvable, if we believe in fairness of markets and avoiding the next flash crash.
How common is security detail for CEOs of billion dollar corporations to begin with? It seems to be fairly random.

Steve Jobs drove himself to work. According to Fortune, in 2013 HP spent $1700 on security for Meg Whitman and Amazon spent $1.6M on Jeff Bezos [1]. It's really all over the map. And presumably the costs go up if the company is exposed in scandal and investors are unhappy with the CEO or they begin to receive threats.

Yeah - it's definitely "new age" advertising but why jump to a "terrifying" "moving us around like lemmings" conclusion? If a company wants to spend money to drop lures good for them. People can go there if they choose or just ignore it.
Remains to be seen.
I would assume it can use investor funds. Presumably, if a defense is a rational choice compared to a settlement, the use of investor funds helps avoid the loss of even more investor funds.

This game has been in Beta for several months, with several long standing issues not being fixed. Plus the game is built off a 5+ year old engine. If that's not enough testing, I don't know what is.

Also the 3DS has patching/software updates. The Pokemon Company could release games as buggy as they want. They have the good sense not to do that, since it devalues their product.
It's not just the server issues, it's that the app logic is terrible. When you hit a Pokemon with your Pokeball, if there is a network error, the app just freezes. The ball drifts to the ground without blinking, and the loading indicator appears periodically, but it never progresses past that point. It just flat out cannot recover from dropping packets, no matter how long you wait. And it's not like the network is down; if you kill the app and reopen it, it is able to load the information it needs.

In many places, this happens with at least 50% probability on a mobile connection. It literally fails more often than not. The advice people are giving is to turn off LTE, which seems to help for some reason. But come on.

I half-wonder if there's some government angle to Theranos that hasn't been quite uncovered yet.
There are reasons.

China has a long history of advanced (for the time) civilization and a high-IQ population (~105). They were backward for just a few centuries because of a series of bad ideologies - isolationism, followed by communism. For most of history China was the highest-tech civilization on Earth. All they had to do to achieve demographic transition was get back to their historical norm.

Africa has no history of advanced civilization and a low-IQ population (~75). There's reason to think they'll sustain higher birthrates than everyone else, indefinitely. To achieve demographic transition they'll have to do something they've never done before.

Sorry, but with those many dependencies, I could hardly call that minimal.
It's too bad in a way, Pokemon Go is a way better idea, Ingress always felt like some cool ideas thrown together in search of a unifying theme. It is the only AR game with any real lasting appeal that I'm aware of, until perhaps Pokemon Go, but a lot of the choices made in building Ingress are less than ideal for Pokemon, and yet they form its foundation. I was never really clear what kept Niantic afloat, I always figured they were nothing more than a cost center at Google. Perhaps Pokemon will have enough success to prompt them to evolve the gameplay, and fix some of the common bugs with Ingress.
There's a significant difference between wealthy Google millionaires who continue to work there and aristocrats, trust-fund babies, the idle rich. The former are largely self-made whereas the latter posses entirely unearned wealth and status. They're two entirely different categories.
I've taken the bus to and from Berkeley before, but I highly prefer Bart. It's significantly faster and I actually find the train more comfortable, especially at off-peak times. The stations tend to be nice places to wait than outdoor bus stops too.

I do have some friends who prefer the busses, so it's clearly not clear-cut.
In addition to the Academy Award-winning director already following her around

"In addition to making frequent media and conference appearances, she hired Academy Award-winning director Errol Morris to film videos of herself and others for Theranos’s website."
> On July 1, Democratic members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee called on Theranos to explain how its “policies permitted systematic violations of federal law” and how it is “working with regulators to address these failures.”

How come when I systematically violate federal law regulators seem less willing to work with me to address these failures? Companies are not that big and mystifying. They are just made up of people and should be held accountable. Elizabeth committed felonies and some people almost certainly died as a result.
Since it has the Pokémon company's brand (and therefore Nintendo's) I really hope to be a great app. One of the things I love about Nintendo with how well they polish all their software.

Instead it's very clear to me that it's a Google app with Pokémon branding. Release fast, bugs are OK, we can fix them later. Don't worry about the fact that the iOS version feels like an Android app and is somewhat obnoxious to use.

I can't help but think that if this game had another two months of polish it would be amazing. Instead, it's in its current slightly crappy state with a serious server issue going on.

This comment is ignorant and wrong on every single point.

As another person commented elsewhere, front running is a specific term with a clear definition and is illegal. HFT firms do not do front running.
Prohibition is ideology instead of policy. I just want to see a sane policy with data to prove it is working instead of ideology which is never questioned by politicians or studied for it's effectiveness.

The tax money from legal drugs can be put into prevention and rehabilitation. We can measure the effectiveness of prevention strategies just like my current government measures their anti smoking and alcoholism prevention strategies.

Tax dollars made by my regional government from selling cigarettes went into a program here for a free long term supply of nicotine patches. This policy combined with other anti smoking initiatives have worked we now have the lowest rates of smoking in the country. Nicotine cessation therapy is proven to work. I don't understand why heroin or meth is not treated the same even when there is data that methadone does not work as well for treatment http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/vancouv...

The truly evil dealers, the violent street gangs who prey off the mentally ill and homeless addicts are impossible to bust because of how they have set up their operations to avoid prosecution by employing the desperate junkies to hold and sell small amounts of product 24hrs a day, while low level gangsters, who handle no evidence, run street security. The police if they arrest these addicts simply go to court for minor possession and are released the next morning. The low level gangsters are routinely arrested for violence while debt collecting or running off other gangsters and a replacement is there the next day. Sometimes they get them on conspiracy charges but it doesn't matter, they're hardened criminals who consider prison a cost of doing business and again somebody else replaces them and their operations change to adapt to a police crackdown status. Police have been fighting these gangs as long as I have been alive but the availability of narcotics remains steady. They have changed their policy to management of the drug war now, propping up one semi cooperative gang by turning a blind eye to their activities in exchange for intel on rival gangs, as to prevent a more violent and unstable gang they can't control from taking over and turning the streets into a warzone.
Yes, but there were also many uninstalls. These numbers are accounting for that.

Why yes, it does have very broad appeal.
I can put up with a fair amount. There are some Z-buffering issues that don't really matter. I've seen occasional glitches with the way the background works in AR.

But how can you not remember if I've me that the sound? How can you not remember I logged in? With a handful of ultrabasic bugs it feels like they just didn't even try.

If they are network issues why do I get stuck in a try again later screen were the only thing I can do is force quit the app?

It's a lazy as hell and Nintendo should be ashamed that someone's dragging their name down like that.
Some of these incidents didn't completely destroy the company or cryptocurrency. For instance ShapeShift.io is on the list but they recovered from their theft incident and are now going strong.
I find it funny that a person named _acme suggests vis :)
Ingress also had an invite-only launch, which meant that by the time lots of people got into the game, the portals were all super high level and playing the game was difficult.

Pokemon Go is already showing signs of the same problem at Gyms, where newer players are going to have to grind for days to take on a gym that their team doesn't already own.
Yep, the hitting-with-Pokeball into a freeze is by FAR the most frustrating thing ever. But at least you successfully catch a decent amount of the time >.>

If she could have ensured her technology worked it would certainly be ensuring her technology works. If she was capable of getting suite of blood tests from a drop of blood Theranos really would be worth that venture capital valuation. When your tech doesn't work you can't ensure that it works so self-aggrandizement is your option until the house of cards crumbles.
Glad you found the info valuable.

Multiple landing pages may be the way to go, and can have value from an SEO standpoint as long as they are not too repetitive.

Beyond that though, consider entry into those pages. Odds are you want to give a different message to different people, so think about how you might incorporate some sort of self-selection mechanism when people arrive at your site. Maybe asking them in a little configurator widget what setup they have or what they are trying to do. You can use those signals to direct them to the appropriate page, but also to segment them into various audience buckets for purposes of advertising, remarketing, etc. It is amazing how valuable a couple clicks can be in terms of clarifying what audience someone falls under. For example, if you get a lot of searches on your brand term in AdWords, giving different site links to different sections lets you better understand the intent of your audience. Better intent signals give you better data for targeting and messaging which in turn should lead to better conversion rates from the more relevant experience.
Sorry. It was working earlier... I can't seem to find a working link.
So I'm curious. Should the people who took CS183C (Blitzscaling with Reid Hoffman) discount the entire Holmes lecture?

It's quite the opposite. There's excessive amount of content out there so the problem is not the lack of content but the fact that there's too much content and you get into analysis paralysis in terms of where to learn. A lot of people just look for an easy way to learn so they dabble here and there and never end up learning. The challenge is to be patient enough to pick one source, sit down and start learning, instead of jumping from here to there.
Thanks for the info, very useful info; I was most interested to learn that ncurses provides compatibility for terminals that are rare.
I know you are a very talented developer so I'm curious :

Why another uptime monitoring service ? There are about 20-30 existing services [1] with a wide variety of features. I agree you've got a great interface and you'll get there feature-wise too. But are there any significant technically sound reasons to switch to your service ?

P.S. My question sounds blunt but I don't mean to belittle your effort.

P.P.S. Here's a list of services that do performance / uptime monitoring in various forms. Some might be incorrect / irrelevant, but just to convey an idea of the crowded space :

I'm a solo founder and I've been working on an e-learning platform for the past few months: https://www.tutora.org. It's a work in progress, and the most interesting part of the platform is still being developed; but it can definitely be used as is, while I continue to make progress.

I'm currently going through the pain of trying to figure out all the marketing stuff... it's hard. Really hard. I don't have traction right now, but I want to start building a small user base so I can begin collecting some feedback. I've put together a survey (http://survey.tutora.org), I'm handing out flyers and talking to people, I've also set up a small Google AdWords campaign. Am I on the right track? What do you guys think is the best strategy to acquire the first 100-1,000 users?

There is ongoing work in formal verification of both Rust and the unsafe code in the stdlib.

However, the average writer of unsafe code will not use formal verification. For them, the nomicon is a very useful resource. And describing it as a dark art is the best way to do it, because unsafe code can be hard and fraught with pitfalls.
If you wanted to kill HFT, it's actually pretty easy. Just make the minimum increment incredibly small. In other words, let people trade at $.0000000001 increments. No fees needed.
I know that's an excuse that lots of developer seem to use these days.

It's fucking bullshit.

I'm so tired of people releasing utter crap and claiming it's OK to fix it later. You know what happens when you do that? You turn off a huge number of people and poison the brand.

It's not like if they waited an extra months to actually fix the issues (which were apparently well known in Beta) the Pokémon brand would've been dead no one would've cared. This isn't tied to some new property that no one knows if it will succeed.

This is tarnishing a major brand and ruining a fantastic opportunity.

All because a bunch of developers don't care enough about what they're making. They don't have enough pride in their products because "people will buy crap, we can fix it later."

Is there any chance Theranos could possibly recover from all this? I'm kind of surprised they're still even operating.

Maybe replace the CEO or something. The core idea of the technology still seems like a good one. It just needs rigorous testing and consent.
>The fundamental result behind the gambler's ruin is the human tendency to perceive patterns in genuine randomness.

I don't think pattern recognition drives most gamblers. There are all kinds of other benefits, perceived or real, that are not accounted for in a purely monetary payoff grid.

I don't know how you can generate random noise. I assume you are using a standard, pixelated display to read this message. Even if a random process was choosing what to display on that screen, there are only a finite number of configurations. Exactly what you are viewing now could be recreated by such a random process.

The problem that hasn't been addressed yet is that "pattern" is not well-defined. If a random display shows a horizontal line pattern, it is still a pattern by some definition (and you would have no way to distinguish it from a "intentionally patterned" display that has the same configuration).
Says who? Insider trading is illegal, so are you saying it doesn't happen? I think your belief that the system works like it is defined in someones definition ignorant.

Just like to add Google HFT Firms Front Running and let me know if that is enough info to convince you.
