Is the Powerset technology still used somewhere for Bing? Bing used to be more intelligent right after the acquisition than today. Somehow it looks like they dropped the Powerset features after a few years. Also non EN-US Bing still looks and works like the old MSN search with a lot worse search results than Bing.com set to EN-US (Bing theme but old UX from MSN era and features frozen since MSN days).
I heard they aren't profitable? Is that true?

Korean Plastic Surgery Trip Advisor – 020 Medical Tour Startup (Buzzfeed)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al_2l1wSmHs

This is a fun collaboration our startup did with BuzzFeed. We're building an 020 medical beauty tourism platform & patient concierge service. We're first focusing on the plastic surgery mecca of the world, Seoul, Korea. We basically help foreign patients find, book and receive treatments abroad when they need help beyond the beauty counter.

In the past year we've processed 604 medical cases from around the world, and navigated the intricacies of Gangnam's 500+ medical beauty clinics.

My co-founder and I are both foreigners living in Korea. I'm American and he's Slovenian. We're also one of the first recipients of the Korean startup visa and received a small grant from the Korean government to work on our startup item.

I'm a non-technical founder (beauty enthusiast, business, sales), I kickstarted the idea and put together a working concept with whatever I could use. And Andrej joined later as my technical co-founder (full stack developer). Together, we're building out something more custom based on the experience we got over the past year from patients.

If anybody has any questions about medical tourism, plastic surgery, K-Beauty, startups in Korea, or being a foreign founder in Asia, feel free to AMA!

We are using a sharelatex installation at work and so far it's pretty good. But the installation is a nightmare. There is a docker container available but the documentation is pretty scattered across multiple GitHub repo wikis. And when you got it to run with all environment variables, you need to install all latex packages inside the container. So unless you hack your way around it by using an additional volume with a working receive installation, you need to install latex from scratch each time you update the container.

I use MS Edge as my browser. It has a little nifty feature where you highlight words and you can right click and do a "Bing lookup" and it opens a drawer on the right in the same window. It's really nice and doesn't break my workflow like the Chrome alternative which opens a new window.

I still use google for the most part, but I haven't found myself in a situation where I open the Bing drawer and say "Oh god, this is so bad, if only it searched Google instead". So I guess it's not that bad. Maybe I should try switching to Bing full time to see how it goes.

Global Trash Cans Industry 2016 Market Research Report
An investment market is a game we agree to play with ourselves because it's useful.

Long ago I worked for financial traders on early electronic trading systems. One day in our Frankfurt office there was a big commotion. Our head trader thought he had made a boatload of money. But it turned out that the trader on the other end of the trade had fat-fingered an offer. The mistake-maker stood to lose hundreds of millions of dollars, destroying his company.

The exchange halted trading in that instrument, unwound all the trades, and started things back up again as if the mistake had never happened. I only heard of it happening that once; smaller mistakes were always the trader's problem. But for the exchange, the normal rules of the market did not override the purpose of the market, which was to facilitate certain kinds of commerce. There was just no point in destroying an entire company, and even our traders were fine with the outcome.

If Ethereum's goal is a market where "people can invest without fear", then it sounds like they did the right thing. Your "caveat emptor" approach has the advantage of being ideologically simple, but it results in an economically suboptimal amount of trading.

Real markets all have elaborate protections pushing them away from purity and toward economic utility. E.g., the US's stock market is a preferred place even for foreign companies to list because our strong disclosure requirements and legal protections make investors less afraid, increasing capital availability and decreasing cost. And it's not just financial markets; consider the Uniform Commercial Code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Commercial_Code

Both. Etherium's smart contract system turned out to be too hard to program correctly, and the DAO botched their program. Etherium needs to go back into the shop for a redesign. Maybe a full virtual machine is the wrong model for contracts. The problem with programs as contracts is that the goal of contracts is predictability. Something more declarative might be more predictable.

I think socialism is the "excuse" rather than the root cause: which is poor government that ran on cronyism and petro-dollars and is completely stuffed after decades of mismanagement. The main difference between this and a number of other governments is that it's happening in the Western hemisphere and not some corner of Africa or the Middle East.

Do your websites show in the same rank in all three search engines? Do Bing and Yahoo need some specific SEO guidelines to be followed, perhaps? As usually SEO is mostly focused toward Google, perhaps they don't follow the same principles when ranking sites, thus you get less exposition and less visitors. I'm curious...
That was especially depressing because the long series of missed deadlines and public demo disasters in the movie (as well as the very buggy eventual release when I later bought the game) gave the impression that his programming skill left a lot to be desired.
I think that's entirely too apologetic. The innovation was the original protocol. They were premature (as a lot of people warned) setting up anything as massive as the DAO, someone found a way to creatively interpret the rules and make a lot of money. Instead of sucking it up as a very expensive bug bounty, they decided to manipulate the entire system -- going against the very essence of that system.

The DAO's own terms state: "Any and all explanatory terms or descriptions are merely offered for educational purposes and do not supercede or modify the express terms of The DAO’s code set forth on the blockchain; to the extent you believe there to be any conflict or discrepancy between the descriptions offered here and the functionality of The DAO’s code at 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413, The DAO’s code controls and sets forth all terms of The DAO Creation."

Obviously the hacker's intent was theft but under the DAO's own terms it was a valid activity.

Basically the code is law. If we're going to then interpret that law then we've created a system similar to the current systems we have, but lacking in maturity. The point of something like Ethereum is not that it can't be manipulated, it's that it doesn't need to be in order to function. It can be trusted explicitly because its functionality is not open to interpretation.

If I'm not being clear enough -- what they should have done is taken this as a very expensive lesson and otherwise left the system alone. Yes, a "bad person" would have profited but the system's integrity would have been untouched.

FWIW, I was an early backer of Ethereum and bought ETH during the pre-sale. I invested because I thought it was promising -- without any real expectation of return. Coincidentally I sold all of my ETH just before this hack (40x ROI). Because of the fork I would not invest in ETH again, regardless of potential returns, because Ethereum is no longer what it set out to be.

I think market sizing is a fairly valuable activity. Worst case you are forced to think about it and write down assumptions you can test. The initial guesstimate might as well be throwing a dart but you can use it as an orientation to see what direction you are way off in.

Even if you feel like you're creating a new market segment (blue ocean) it can't hurt to think through it. What might the structure look like, what other market segment could be similar etc. etc.

At the end of the day you're thinking about aggregated customers. Even if you think market sizing is a waste of time you still need to think about reaching customers and how they interact with one another (feedback loops, word of mouth).

As a result, the difference between those who do politics and those who don't, is that those who don't are just destined to do it badly.

It was brutish and short for most people because there wasn't much wealth of any kind. How far would the combined fortunes of the industrialists gone in raising the standard of living had they been confiscated and distributed to everyone else? Not far at all, it turns out. 50 million people lived in the US in 1880, and Vanderbilt's $232 million fortune would have netted each of the the other 50,189,208 Americans around $4.62 each (around $114 in 2015 dollars). What they got in exchange from these captains of industry (steel, rail, oil, and a future where their children went on to live better than they did) was worth a heck of a lot more to their lives and livelihoods than a few fistfuls of coins.

Even if you were Andrew Carnegie, you'd have no Xbox, no CT scanner, no supercomputer in your pocket, no access to the Internet, no way to jump between cities by air...

Back then, all people were so poor, not just in material goods or safety technologies, but in knowledge. In the 19th century, they didn't know a damn thing about what actually caused cancer, so people routinely did incredibly stupid things (stupid to us, that is, with the knowledge we have today) when making dyes and many other chemical processes.

Incredibly, the alternatives to all that were even worse. If you just sat at home and did nothing, what would you have to do? Play cards and starve to death? Books were still expensive, and remember what I said about all the things that even Carnegie wouldn't have access to in his time?

Given all that, I'd rather start as a poor person today than be a rich person in 1830.

Seems like a good time to bring up http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016... (Quoted below nearly in full)

> As journalists descend on Cleveland to cover the Republican convention, it is inevitable that news stories mention the infamous 1969 fire on the Cuyahoga River. The story of this fire is largely a fable, however, as I have documented at length. Much of what people write and read about the fire, and its historical context, just is not so.

> The June 22, 1969, fire was not much of a fire at all. More importantly, it was not the first river fire, on the Cuyahoga or elsewhere. River fires were quite common in the late 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries. There were several fires on the Cuyahoga over this period, as there were fires in Columbus, Detroit, Philadelphia and lots of other places. Yet prior to the 1960s, and the awakening of the modern environmental movement, river fires did not attract much attention outside of local communities. Fortunately, local communities saw river fires as a problem, and took action.

> What was different about 1969 was not that a river had gotten so dirty that it caught fire but that industrial rivers had been cleaned sufficiently that river fires were no longer common.

Let me tell you a story. When I do frontend nowadays, I mostly develop with angular js. People like to complain about angular and having to know so many libraries, and frameworks, when the past was simple.

But what is simple, really? Let's look at some past experiences:

1. At a very first gig, when I was doing my very little first steps in this software thing, I had to build a website prototype. Pure static html pages inside a folder, that were linked to each other, didn't need to deploy, it was just a demo. It didn't use CSS. It didn't use a template engine. Really simple. But, every change was a PITA, because the website had a header, so every change, meant you had to open the file, and rewrite the whole header... in all files, manually!

2. In another moment of my past, I had to do some changes in an app was built with JQuery. JQuery is a library, but it's pretty simple. Select dom elements, and apply changes and hook events up. Simple.

Only, following and understanding the flow of the app was hard as hell. Each page had a lot of code and it wasn't obvious at all what was happening. Complex transformations of the dom were daunting. Small changes would break in intractable ways.

3. PL/SQL Stored procedures + tables. Pure SQL + structured programming is simpler than objects, and way simpler than using ORMS. Of course we had no tests, so less stuff to look at. I'm not even going to describe the downsides because you all people surely know that.

My point is, let's always look at the other side of things, and really weight at all the tradeoffs. I get what you mean but when I read a line like:

> I want to get back to focusing on building logical models that fit the domain, solving problems, and simulating things.

I feel that it's really a little _naive_. I mean, of course you focus on that kind of things. You need to work on backend, solving some kind of problems. But in some other problems, like for example, visual interfaces, you better be reusing shit.

Most commercial SEMs use electromagnetic lenses because they provide higher power (more drastically change the path of electrons) in a smaller space. The problem is that they require custom iron pole pieces. It's easier to build electroststatic lenses, which are just metal conductors and the geometry is not extremely critical. Search for Einzel lens for details. The condenser and objective lens in my scope are Einzel lenses made from copper pipe from the hardware store. I like the idea of looking at lead type with the SEM!

The angle of the incoming electrons toward the specimen is what creates the viewing angle in the image. The angle of the secondary electron detector is what creates the apparent illumination direction. It's true that setting the specimen to split the beam and detector angles will provide a good image, similar to having a good key light in photography.
It's better to think of it as "all word", as opposed to "iw" as "inner word".
It's easier to think about with "it" for "inner XML tag", apply stuff only between the opening and closing tags, of "at" for the whole thing, tags included.
So "dat" would delete the tag and its content, while "cit" would change the content of the tag.
