Consumer insurers all utilize re-insurers. They essentially loan out the money to the insurance companies, they are the ones really taking on all the risk so they get all the underwriting data from the insurance companies.
True. Plus its not like he will have an issue finding a job somewhere else (if not starting his own company with VC money). The thing Detroit doesn't get is that tech has a culture that is bound to geography. They used to have the same culture back when American cars were actually made in Detroit. But they killed it.
I have jumped outside that track, and it is what I am teaching my kids to think about. What best jobs? What does it mean to be successful? I have far less money than some of my peers, but they envy my lifestyle of living minimally and in different countries. It all depends on what your goals are, and what group you run with I guess. I say question your assumptions.

As far as being more competitive, I don't buy it. 1 million, 1 billion, if you truly have common sense and some intellect, you beat out 99% of those numbers, and the common sense doesn't seemed to have scaled to make the population that now enters the market any more difficult, but that is purely limited empirical obsevation on my part.

BTW, I am still in the job market, so I am familiar with how competitive it is, and I don't rely on just established connections. I venture out of my comfort zone often. From programming, to diving to maintain and fix electrical and hydralic systems underwater, to managing installations and subsequent operations of a few world-class installations of unique equipment, and an odd assortment of other skills.

And, I did it without completing a degree.

See that was my attempt at putting me CV out there ;)
The headline should be reversed. It's Japan's Elderly who have become 7-Elevens' Lifeline.

Competition in the industry is fierce. Chains are consolidating. Family Mart alone has bought AM/PM (2009), Cocostore (2015), and Circle-K (2016) over the last few years. Margins are becoming thin as traditional high margin items like the bento boxes and hot food items are under assault by Super market chains that (1) have begun offering these same items at bargain prices and (2) are staying open until later to cater to the long hours of corporate workers.

Convenience stores traditionally catered to the youth and "salary men", but with shifting demographics and shifting consumption patters of these traditional target segments, they have been eyeing the elderly as a "growth segment" since at least 2009 when I lived there as a "salary man".
I hang them from my pull up bar.

This (obviously) limits what you can do compared to a more open setup.
Having inherited a large legacy codebase running on App Engine and powering a successful business, I see the biggest danger with App Engine as being the lock-in. We're on App Engine and we're not going anywhere, because it'd be too big of a project to move somewhere else. There's one open source project I know of that lets you run an App Engine project on another server (Appscale), but it's hard to know how useable it would be without the overhead of getting everything set up, and surely there are plenty of dark corners you'd encounter along the way.

Since App Engine comes with a proprietary data store, ORM and task queue built in, skipping the Appscale compatibility thing and just porting a large application to run on another platform would be a herculean effort. The data store models and everywhere in the application code that they're queried would need to be re-written for a different ORM, all of the data would have to be migrated to a different store, and all the background tasks and methods that trigger them would need to be rebuilt. This would be thousands and thousands of lines of hand-edited code changes, before even thinking about how much time would need to be spent verifying all of the changes.

At least with Heroku the magic is mostly around deploying and scaling the various pieces, rather than providing a lot of application level libraries that lock you into the platform. Porting to another platform likely would require a bunch of configuration management and some deployment scripts, but fairly limited changes to the application code itself.
I'm not sure it indicates anything. They are all incredibly vague and no one seems to have any idea what's going on.

This guy has good points, but he thinks 2007 was "way before facebook?" I thought I was a late joiner at late 2005 / early 2006, and I was 28 at the time; it seems pretty clueless to think 2007 was anything like 'before' facebook, let alone 'way before' Facebook.

Had to re-read it a few times, but I think I get what you're saying now. If I do understand correctly, I'd still disagree as whether society had made misinterpretations in the past and whether it's important to learn from it. Of course, on that topic, you'd think we'd have learned from the Pharisees whose friggin' job was to study and interpret scriptures and, unless Isaiah was written after the fact, inexcusably missed the arrival of their Messiah. :-)

Huh, that seems so obvious in retrospect. This is basically how I've grown into jazz. I find someone I like, find out who they played with, who those folks played with, and so on.
What gets me is that S3 is probably the easiest thing to learn about in AWS. I would understand if he complained about the million things you can do in EC2, but in S3 there is not much choice; S3, S3-IA, S3-RR. Throw in Glacier and there still are not much to get confused on.
Yes. I currently live in a condo in Bangkok that has an always-open 7-11 in the building. Some of the interesting offerings:

- I can pay pretty much any bill over the counter. (electricity, mobile/internet, ecommerce purchases from Lazada, flights booked with AirAsia, etc)

- There's a wide selection of packaged & refrigerated food that they can warm up for you; microwave meals, various types of toasties, congee/noodles (these are self serve, but they provide the hot water), etc.

- They sell alcohol in the fridges alongside soft drinks. I know that's normal in other parts of the world too, but coming from Australia, is unimaginable there.

- I think there is also a catalog of stuff I can order and pay for in store and pick up later. Not 100% sure because I haven't tried that yet.
Whenever I hear stories about people regularly putting in 80+ hour weeks it just blows my mind. I could never do that, and the mere thought of it is almost enough to send me into a spiral of depression.

For anyone who currently finds themselves in that situation: if you are in love with your work and happy with your lifestyle, then good for you. The world needs smart, dedicated people. But if you're feeling burnt out or otherwise unhappy with the hours: know that there tons of interesting and well paying jobs out there that don't demand such crazy hours.

Lobbying, I would assume. Airbnb has met a lot of legal opposition lately. They are dealing with regulations in jurisdictions all over the world. I guess that takes a lot of cash.
Don't even get me started on electronics when it comes to the overabundance of choice. I only buy Apple laptops now specifically because the choice is so limited and I can be sure that I'm getting "the best" laptop.

Right now I'm trying to actively force myself to make more choices during my downtime. Where do I want to go? Where do I want to eat? What do I want to do? It's tough going sometimes given the overabundance of options and information. However the feeling that you know you are doing something because that's what you want is worth it.

Don't know how much others can empathize with this post. I'll say that the article hit me incredibly hard and I already ordered a print of "Melancholy I" to hang in my office.
I grew up in upstate NY with long, long winters.

IMHO I agree with you, but if the market will bear it can you blame them? Cheap capital is always appreciated.
Still not buying it.

I love my parents. My mom has passed, but my dad is still living. They didn't teach me financial literacy, however, I did learn about placing bets on horses at a young age ;)

My father and mother both never completed high school. Dad was an ex-merchant marine, Golden Gloves boxer (runner up champ in NYC in the 50s). My Dad and I have a good understanding now, but there were some really bad physical times in the household, let's leave it at that without making this an Oprah show candidate.

I would say that movies and books some consider trite, contrived, romantic, boring, unrealistic, nowadays, helped give me an ideal to live towards, or heroes if you will. I think there aren't as many, but they are shunned or looked down on in current times by intellectual elites to the detriment of the good they do.

I grew up without TV, and a phone for most of my childhood. It wasn't until I was eleven that me and my friends rode the subway from Brooklyn to Manhattan without adult supervision.

Even some of the poorest in the US have internet and a semi-smartphone for immediate at-your-fingertips information. I would say they have a leg up on some of my peers there. So, aside from the tails where there are extreme cases, I am an optimist, and think it is easier to escape your roots so to speak.

[Edit] I realized after reading my response that I still carry a chip on my shoulder, but in the interests of transparency, and a lesson in humulity, I'll let the post stand as is. My apologies if any offense is given above.
This doesn't necessarily fall under the "newest" category but I wrote a twitter bot (https://twitter.com/loveapaper) that tweets random papers from the Papers We Love (http://paperswelove.org/) repository as a simple way to find new (to me) papers that might be interesting. Do check out PWL though, it's a great community with chapters from all around the world that meet up to discuss and learn more about academic computer science papers.

You are underestimating the value generated by purely bypassing government regulations. Anyone can create an Uber like app. Stopping government is an entirely different ball game.

If you want to know which country or the city is worst and corrupt see who have banned Uber or surge pricing. Same goes with AirBnB.
Not all people work long hours because that's the role they ended up with or they feel they "have to". I work more than 40 hours a week as an escape from other tasks and problems in life (similar to how people use alcohol, food or gaming for that purpose).
There are a few issues: stacks sometimes partially complete and you are left with a bit of a mess; stack creation has insanely long timeouts and a lot of retries, so it often sits there for 15 minutes before eventually failing; and deletions can fail part way through because there is some dependency that isn't obvious (and which they don't make it easy to find). I still like it (infrastructure as code is cool), but it needs more work.
Why do I find so few hypothesis driven experiments on this subject?

>Don't even get me started on electronics when it comes to the overabundance of choice. I only buy Apple laptops now specifically because the choice is so limited and I can be sure that I'm getting "the best" laptop.

A large part of Apple's success is that they've made it so easy to buy. Until recently there was only on phone, and you know exactly when the new model would come out.

Other brands, including Samsung though they've gotten better, are a mess and make decision making very difficult.
NYC since its founding has been a commercial trading center, not a creative arts hub. I don't understand where the idea that it's a place to be creative came from. There is nothing about NYC that makes me creative (in the producing sense, not consuming) because the city is so exhausting to live in, and so cramped and noisy, that I have no energy to think freely and creatively. In fact the boredom, space and ease of the suburbs leads me to more creativity.

Quote:

Berj Alexanian, a spokesman with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, said officials know how the Jeep Wrangler was stolen. According to Alexanian, the thief broke into the vehicle and used a laptop to enter its VIN number in order to access the Chrysler database. Dealerships, repair facilities and locksmiths are usually the only ones allowed access to the database, which provides the code for key fob access. Once the thief enters the VIN number, he can re-program the car's computer so it will accept a generic key fob. The car will then start, and the thief is able to drive off.
Did you try something like bup? (Of course, depending on your use case, that might not work out so well.)

Not that I have anything but respect for DFBSD, but I'd have suggested trying a userland archiving tool with dedup before spinning up a VM + FS in it.

Holy cow. That has got to be the most unhealthy attitude I've heard in a long time.

Agree 100%. You just have to get yourself to the gym. Motivation does not happen at the house; it happens at the gym. Get to the gym, start warming-up and before long you are lifting.
>it can actually remember device-based 2FA for a month

Call me crazy, but that seems like a totally different feature than what AWS two-factor auth is doing. AWS uses 2FA to validate users, while Google uses it to validate devices, and you're making it seem like Amazon is too dumb to use local storage for something.

(Also, I don't think the parent commenter was comparing Google to a car crash. The analogy was that it seems weird to get mad about features performing their stated actions.)

I thought that the production of the competition was extraordinary. Seeing everything lit up on stage was straight out of a movie (in a good way). I thought that the event itself at Defcon was super weird, though. A lot of people, myself included, assumed that the event was going to be more real-time. In reality, the servers had been competing for hours already.

That being said, huge props to these amazing teams. It was so fascinating to see how each system reacted to the same situations and then either hunkered down to protect itself or go on the offensive. Really amazing stuff.

Knowing who is corrupt needs to be more narrowly defined. You will know who is worse when it comes to rent seeking, but not necessarily other types of corruption.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the infusions of cash into startups of this scale are probably historically unprecedented. If this is true, then nobody really knows what the outcome of this is going to be for the companies that appear sound: AirBnB, Uber, as well as for the whole Silicon Valley startup ecosystem. It may well destroy it for good.

To be fair, if there weren't licensing issues around ZFS, I'm pretty sure it would have been adopted without much resistance. As it is, there are STILL concerns about the licensing and Canonical went ahead and added it anyway! I don't see how you can classify that as Not Invented here syndrome.

Hmm moving to Novi seems like a near-term move to generate a sure return on capital. It puts the team closer to its B2B customers and near manufacturing resources.

Yeah there's a lot of coordination for building vehicles that happens in Michigan, but the design engineering happens all over the world.

If you want to do something truly innovative, groundbreaking, or new you might want to consider how your choices about being near or far away from the incumbent OEMs and supply base may effect that.
That wasn't the only reason that OS/2 had been killed. I have used OS/2 2.11 and OS/2 Warp and OS/2 was truly a better Windows than Windows.

There were many other factors that killed OS/2. Just before Warp was released, it was quite hyped in the press. The then unreleased Windows 95 was considered to be a train wreck and OS/2 a true 32-bit operating system. However, once people got their hands on Warp, it turned out that the installation was difficult unless you had hardware that was covered by the relatively small driver base. Moreover IBM didn't really seem to care about supporting OS/2 for end users. So, much of the enthusiasm evaporated even before Windows 95 was released.
None of this clickbait nonsense compares to what Facebook and Google have on most of us and the average American.

Your comment seems to imply that 7-Eleven is in trouble, but it's still the biggest of the convenience store chains, which is why the other chains are consolidating. I don't know about their profits, but revenue is growing year after year, and their number of stores is also increasing. If anything, it would be the other chains who might need to rely on the elderly more.

The authors refer to the CG8713 gene product as Sandman, which is a single molecule. Flybase associates this gene with a single polypeptide, predicted to be 395 amino acids long [1].

My research skills are rusty, but I found a paper which makes it sound like this channel is probably a heteromer [2].

So yeah, the ion channel is almost certainly composed of more than one subunit (and thus more than one polypeptide, and more than one molecule), but the researchers are focusing on this subunit.

Waiting to implement a feature while you actually engineer it well and robustly is not the same as throwing poop at a wall and seeing what sticks then scraping the poop off and forming it into another shape and throwing at the wall again.
One drive doesn't sync files the way dropbox or gdrive do and it's super annoying. Cortana is no better than Siri or Now in that it basically just sets a timer or dials a contact and everything else in my experience is chock full of irrelevant links and spamming listings. The one thing I actually appreciate with Windows 10 in particular is that the Weather Live tile is good and doesn't have Accuweather or the Weather Channel banner ads in it. I am glad they went with just giving you with weather. My LG tablet's weather app is a banner ad crapfest and my iPhone's weather app is pretty much useless by comparison. Why can't everyone just show me whether it's going to rain in the next 15 minutes without subjecting me to ludicrous ads. Seriously. Thank you Windows for that at least.
