Thanks! The LinkExchange model is actually pretty different, but I hear that a lot. LinkExchange, and other webrings, automatically connected sites and had them all link to one another. The main benefit of those exchanges (particularly in the 90s) was the SEO lift (which is now frowned upon by Google). In the past 4-5 years, most major publishers have begun establishing direct partnerships with other sites, so that they can promote one another on social and through other direct links. The main benefit of that type of partnership is the traffic, but also the editorial control, and brand association. The challenge is that it is a very time consuming process to put those deals together, manage the partnerships, and track the traffic. I used to lead business development at Rolling Stone and Us Weekly, and MTV before that, so I am familiar with all that goes into it, and I created PubExchange to address that. It did require hustle to get the first sites to use the platform, but since the platform works like a social network, most sites that join now, hear about it through word of mouth.
I'm wondering the same. Of you look at the books being listed in this thread, though, it's apparent there is little fiction or other material to truly savour: everything is skim-friendly.

You could probably get through one of these a week while on the elliptical or during your commute.

I wish people would qualify their posts with relationship status and employment type. If you have a partner whom you value, and are in the formative months (pre-alpha) of a start-up as a main developer (or hybrid, or one-man operation), is it really beneficial for so much new information to be making its way into your head?
Those of us that have worked as remote engineers for a lot of our career know that most companies in general are just plain not managed in a way that would work for companies that have lots of remote workers, especially larger companies. Policies that discourage and undermine remote work that are popular with large companies include:

1. Mandatory all-hands meeting times

2. Banning popular communications platforms like Slack, Google Chat, Skype

3. Expectations of all workers to be present continuously for their timezone instead of letting workers self-organize

4. Performance and productivity metrics based around KPIs that do not actually measure productivity but presence
This post is full of misplaced FUD.

> It's not just type annotations anymore + ES6

How not?

! is just an inline type coercion.

> What if Ecmascript in the future uses ! as an operator for a totally unrelated purpose ?

This seems unlikely because ! is already an operator in JS.

But really, this argument could be made against any operator TS uses. What if ES introduces : as an operator? Or if they introduce some sort of ambiguity with the other myriad type definitions? This is not a new issue, and you shouldn't let null checks drive you away from the language.

In any case, both null checks and decorators are behind flags. The decorators flag is literally called "experimental decorators". So it's not like the TS team is pretending that it's going to be stable forever.
the main reason ARM CPUs are so popular is not only their low power usuage, but also the eco system around the AXI bus. AXI bus is used inside the SOC to connect third party modules to ARM CPUs, you can easily build a custom SOC by plugging bunch of AXI capable modules together with an ARM CPU.

unless RISC-V builds a similar bus on a chip to AXI with a bridge to connect to legacy AXI modules, the RISC-V platform will go no where

It's not the load: the loading gauge refers to the maximum dimensions of a train.

Perhaps that's true in the ring and on the screen, but the incidence rate of domestic violence involving MMA fighters outside of the ring is several orders of magnitude higher than in other sports. Between the performance enhancing drugs used to train, the head injuries sustained, and SOME of the people drawn to the sport in the first place, I can't watch the sport without feeling somewhat repulsed.

HBO Real Sports did a good segment on violence in MMA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgpdU_uPO34
Marketing Myths Part 8
I disagree. I can't think of a single sport where the athletes aren't throw-away. That's what sports do. They suck the livelyhood out of their competitors for the pleasure of spectators.

American Football leaves people broken physically and mentally. Boxing causes a slow-building brain damage that leaves legends like Ali a shaking, stuttering mess until their dying day. You're only wanted in Basketball until your knee gives out.

Injuries are career-ending for any athlete, in any sport. I personally find Hockey more "disgustingly violent" than the UFC.

Are you kidding? It's a social activity, just like NFL in the days of yore, that people partake in.

Discussions about who's in the next big fight are what's on people's minds, not their criminal background. Sure, issues like domestic abuse and drug consumption will come up in conversations, but I think you're overestimating how many people look up to these guys and gals.

There are two components to UFC: the violence and the skill. You don't sound like you're comfortable with the level of violence displayed (completely understandable). As others have pointed out, the combatants are willing participants and not victims, so I don't share the same issue.

What I get out of UFC matches (when I watch, I actually stopped because it was hard to find good matches) is the tactical chess-like maneuvering these guys go through in order to defeat an opponent that effectively knows everything they know. There's a level of calculating brilliance at play for the good fighters that I get a lot out of.
I'm not sure which is worse.
Yes. This is an ICANN rule, but I never received an email from them claiming they are going to hijack the WHOIS record. I'm still fighting with their completely unusable UI to try and figure out how to fix this.
Do you have any evidence for that? Many MMA proponents claim that the long term effects should be less severe than boxing, because their fights generally involve less repeated head trauma.

I don't know enough about the issue to argue one way or another, but I find it a plausible argument.
Wow. After the introduction where the author thoroughly refutes his own thesis (approximately half a million people would have been saved if the Tesla autopilot was universally available), the 3 reasons given was astoundingly poor.

Reason 1: Different people will die. Example, blind people who are currently not at risk (because they don't drive) will die in greater numbers.

And this is an argument against saving 500,000 lives every year? Really?

Reason 2: Humans are irrationally afraid of situations where they lose control. Example: flying in airplanes vs driving a car

And we're in favor of 500,000 additional people dying every year, because of people's irrational fears?

Reason 3: The ends don't justify the means. Example: Torture

Even if you accept the underlying premise that the ends don't justify the means, this argument only carries weight in situations where the "means" are considered evil. Like torture. Or robbery. What exactly is "evil" about allowing consumers to voluntarily purchase and use self-driving cars, and saving thousands of lives every year in the process?

I was surprised to see Musk's candid and blunt defense of self-driving cars. It's not PR savvy, but honestly, it's exactly what we need. The reasons being marshaled by people like this author, against self-driving cars, are horrendously bad. And while we sit here twiddling our thumbs, discussing human irrationality while sipping our lattes, hundreds of thousands of people are dying. Maybe it's time we stopped splitting hairs and started doing something.
It's because the app has access to and control over the DOM of the UIWebView. Suppose some app called EvilGameFoo is asking you to authenticate with your Google account. They should kick you to a UI controlled by Google, which EvilGameFoo cannot in any way inspect or access, where you enter your credentials. Google then tells EvilGameFoo that they can vouch for you. Instead, UIWebView lets the app asking you to sign in via an identity provider inspect the DOM of the UK where you enter your credentials. Hence it lets EvilGameFoo read your password.
Yeah. As it turns out, coupling real estate and schooling was a bad idea. Who knew?
This was the case on an android phone using Google login. His nexus 6X was on a beta build so he was unable to install the app. He started playing the game on an older device while he downgraded his 6X. After it was complete, he logged into his 6X using his google credentials and it prompted him to start over.
Well, they did include a difficulty bomb specifically for that reason.

I actually don't value contacts very highly, and almost never ask for intros or leverage previous relationships. For a one-person company, intros are a time-suck, since the recipient of the intro will tend to take calls or meetings even if they are not interested in the product, just out of courtesy. Instead, I attribute a lot of my growth to building a product that addressed a clear need, and then using Linkedin to pitch the right people. Now that a fair amount of sites use PubExchange, most sites that join come through referrals, but most of those are from people I did not personally know before launching the platform.

Sports assets costs huge amounts of money and their value will only continue to increase as sports becomes the only real televised media that requires live viewing. In team sports, the top teams are generally valued in the $2-3 billion dollar range. This deal basically equates all of UFC to the cost of two middle of the road NFL teams or two of the more valuable NBA/MLB teams.

Funny thing, I never thought about this, but compared to Football and Boxing, UFC is unlikely to cause debilitating long-term damage.

As you are alluding to, what we are now becoming aware of as a society is that by padding our combative athletes we've shifted the trauma from the exterior to the interior and thus made it more severe.
Not really. Developers who are good enough to command that wage in the Bay Area, but who live elsewhere, also know how good they are. They might be willing to take a slight pay cut from what the lives-in-Bay-Area person would be paid, but whatever the pay cut is, it will not be proportional to cost of living. E.g. if I could earn 400k living in SF, but you offer to pay me 200K living in Lincoln, Nebraska, I'll turn you down. Not because that's not a good wage for the area, but because it communicates to me, as a potential employee, that you are trying to effectively extract rents on my productivity. You know that I'd be worth at least 400K to your business, but you want to slurp up an extra 200K off the top of that by paying someone who resides elsewhere. As an employee, this says you don't value me according to what I can add, but instead are looking to minimize my share in what I produce, and will use geography as a convenient excuse for it.

Beyond a certain level of salary, salary stops varying too much by cost of living or geography. If I make well over 200K per year in a major city, I'm going to expect someone else to pay me 200K/yr at least no matter where I live.

I wouldn't even try to get other job offers to negotiate you on it -- I'll just simply believe you're not meritorcratic and flat out reject your offer and view your company skeptically from then on. Low-balling an exceptional engineer over geography is dysfunctional in the same way as working really hard to hire a senior, experienced engineer and then telling them "2 weeks vacation is the standard for all new hires.." or something. It's just a big red flag.
The density of gas stations is high enough that it works just fine to take a little detour to one of the several gas stations on the way between anywhere and anywhere when the dashboard light comes on.

I wonder how meaningful the "remote work" is, considering the legal issues of hiring workers from another country?

What if there weren't any?

Time zones aren't always the problem, high-speed internet is often common, lots of IT jobs are location-agnostic.

It could have a serious impact on the job market - what is poor in USA is upper 1% income worldwide, so an ability to get a remote job at USA prices can make local jobs uncompetitive by huge factors.

What sort of effects would this have on the world? Or is it meaningless speculation anyway, since the legal restrictions aren't going away in any plausible futures?
Thankfully, this isn't an either or situation. Boxing's popularity was significantly diminished for years before UFC brought fighting sports back to a forefront.
> I always found it incredible. He would start with some problem, and fill up pages with calculations. And at the end of it, he would actually get the right answer! But he usually wasn’t satisfied with that. Once he’d gotten the answer, he’d go back and try to figure out why it was obvious. And often he’d come up with one of those classic Feynman straightforward-sounding explanations. And he’d never tell people about all the calculations behind it. Sometimes it was kind of a game for him: having people be flabbergasted by his seemingly instant physical intuition, not knowing that really it was based on some long, hard calculation he’d done.

This part is particularly enlightening.
I'm in the US and find that even within the country many of those jobs are listed as "remote" but then I will hear something like "we're not looking for people in your area". Do they understand what remote means?
"And code size doesn't matter, since RISC-V's compressed ISA extension makes RISC-V the densest ISA out there without throwing away performance to get it."

That doesn't rule out that there is some optimal compressed ISA that is a lot better than what RISC-V provides.

As a truly weird idea, if a subroutine were tagged with the number of working registers it needs, instructions referencing registers inside such a subroutine could be shortened (ideally for memory usage using arithmetic coding, but shaving of integral bits probably would be easier on the decoder). Tagging need not take much room, as it could be applied to whole address ranges (MMU blocks, or even larger ones; for example, one could sacrifice the most significant bits of a 64-bit address range to it) if the linker or the loader moved subroutines with equal register usage together (but performance would suffer because of increased cache misses)

Yes, that's a weird idea, and I would guess the gain in instruction density would not be enough to offset the extra cache misses and the added decoder complexity, and would not be particularly large to start with, but there may be real improvements. Maybe, one day, it will be efficient to gzip compress basic blocks or cache lines using a prefilled decoding table computed by the compiler?

I was just thinking -- as any NES-era child does -- that perhaps the greatest benefit of Pokemnon Go (ive never played a Pokemon game) is that it convinces Nintendo to port its classic IPs to mobile. As a very disappointed WiiU owner, mobile seems like a brighter future for Nintendo than the console wars.
I'm not a fan of either boxing or UFC, but from what I can tell, boxers take far more headshots, while UFC fighters are hit elsewhere more, and can get other injuries -- e.g., armbars can break arms and tear ligaments (http://www.mma-training.com/arm-bar/). While I'd rather not get any longterm injuries, CTE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_traumatic_encephalopat...) is far scarier to me than most longterm effects I can think of UFC fighters getting.
At least in Ingress they did something like this. They partnered with Vodafone so every Vodafone store became a Portal. They also had a partnership with a drugstore chain where you could get item codes inside the store. So it's not unrealistic.
Why is the above downvoted? The inflation taking place since 1970s is a fact, not an opinion.

See for yourself, here is the graph (from BusinessInsider, but the source is Bureau of Labor Statistics) :

While I agree some of the early arguments are a bit weak, I liked the author's discussion of the parallels to medical research---I think it gets across why some (including myself) think its worth approaching this exciting new technology with a slightly less cavalier attitude:

In developing cancer drugs that could save millions of lives—just like robot cars are promised to do—we understand we can’t ignore problems in clinical and human trials. We can’t cut corners just because we want to rush a life-saving product to market.

“The perfect is the enemy of the good,” as famously declared by Voltaire, is also a common reaction to ethical critiques of autonomous cars. But this is a straw-man argument: no one is demanding perfection, just due diligence, especially if death is on the line. Just as with cancer drugs or anything else on the market, a product doesn’t have to be perfect, though that’s not an excuse to not be more careful.

Look at seatbelts as an iconic safety device: even they aren’t absolved of all sins, just because they save a lot of lives overall. Unlatch buttons that are too large (and can be accidentally bumped open) or too easily opened have sparked lawsuits and massive recalls. These aren’t really malfunctions but only bad designs, and bad designs can kill.

The extra care needed to avoid these problems doesn’t have to take a Herculean effort or stall research and development. It just means investing some time to think it through and properly set expectations. This could save lives, and every one counts. (Just ask their families.)
So you're taking into account proper inflation(it differs, even per axle) for each make/model? How do you plan on changing things like oil when cars hoods are locked? Jacking up cars with alarms?

Saying "France isn't so bad, so it's working" doesn't cut it for me.

Actually France is the "other way of organizing society" (having something that looks a lot like Basic Income, see higher in the thread), and most other countries are "the baseline"... In this context, we observe no clear benefits (high unemployment, almost no growth).

Last time I checked (2 years ago), they were spending 12000€ annually for each and every homeless in France, which is great... Except they are still homeless, when this amount is similar to minimum wage (enough to NOT be homeless, and that's without social benefits). This money was basically wasted and didn't fix any problem.

So the point of heavy social programs is: people aren't happier, and in the end feel entitled to benefits... even when it downs the economy and employment.
