How is it possible for people to get stuck in such a tight spiral? Not saying that we understand every way a business can be run, but this is like spiritualist sociology.
Cool. I'll have to see if I can get my Clik library working now. Thanks.
I think it's silly to make this either or. It's kind of like decision making - do you want intuition, data or both. Data may beat intuition, or vice versa. But data plus intuition beats either alone. In chess, computer plus player beats computer-only or player-only.

In testing, Automated plus Manual beats either on their own.
Hi, I work on the Squarespace dev platform.

It's true that certain blocks still use YUI, but this is system functionality that's not part of our public API. In new templates, a Squarespace developer won't see or touch YUI code.

We're no longer creating new features with YUI. We write new frontend editor functionality with modern libraries like React.
Great, but I'd rather them work on eliminating all the engagement/wedding photos from people I DON'T know from my newsfeed.
This is true for those compute job types which are mostly 'CPU bound' and which usually create most of the objects that they need at the very beginning; these objects would not be released until the job is finished anyway. I admit that in this case it may take some thought and deliberate effort on the programmer's part to avoid creating many short-lived objects.

Over a year ago, I did a statistical analysis of BuzzFeed's clickbait (http://minimaxir.com/2015/01/linkbait/) and found that it is highly formulaic.

In fairness, the linkbait game has changed since then, with Medium posts using calls-to-actions and "just" needlessly in their headlines. Then again, with FB's machine learning expertise, I'm surprised they need a team to manually classify linkbait posts at all.

It's a completely ridiculous comparison. Imagine a high school team playing the Cleveland Cavaliers or Golden State Warriors.

Poker is probably a better example since it's far more likely for bad players to play in a game against a great player than it is a bad basketball player to play against Lebron James. In poker, the more skilled players there are at the table, the harder it is to tell who the bad players are. Even the highest cash games in the world rely on extremely wealthy gamblers who aren't skilled in order to remain lucrative to the professionals.

The same thing that happens in any other case: you're presented a banner that includes a link to a Wayback Machine search for the URL that 404ed.

There's no magic here; it's just a link that produces a GET request when you click it. I feel like a lot of the concerns and objections raised in this comment thread originate in not having taken a minute to find out what this extension actually does.
Yes I'm wondering about this too. Say I want to build a windows application with electron, and I want to use geolocation or bluetooth, does the app need a module for each version of windows if I want to support multiple versions of windows? Or would it perhaps even be possible to generate the modules for the appropriate windows version on the fly from the app itself?
I figured with good annotations by programmers and Design-by-Contract the manual or automated testing would be easy enough that there could be a low number of testers vs developers. 1:1 surprises me unless you're counting each developer writing their own basic tests or whatever. I'd be interested in hearing more about what tools or practices you use given I continuously survey safety-critical development practices.
Where can I buy one?
I noticed that the C++ code has no comments whatsoever. Why would they do that? The code is clear enough and you can read the papers to figure it out or do they clean up comments before releasing internal code to the public?
To be clear, they missed their sales goal. So sales were down. The challenge with Tesla is they do not have a good history of being open and honest about what his happening inside Tesla. So perhaps they missed their sales goals because it was all operational as they say. Or perhaps sales are softening. They have been reducing pricing from what I've heard. But either way, stop lamenting the press when it really starts and stops with Tesla doing what they say they will do or not. Every public company has the same parameters. why don't they just under promise and over achieve if they have uncertainty in exactly how well they control their production?

Stryd, Boulder, CO, Techstars Boulder 2015 | Intern | mobile Developer | Remote Okay

http://www.stryd.com

Stryd is a multidisciplinary team that is enthusiastic about the future of wearable technology for athletes. Out of this passion, we've developed the world’s first wearable power meter for runners that provides insight into their running technique and performance.

We are looking for mobile developers who are knowledgable with Android and iOS development. We use Java for the Android and Swift for the iOS. Good sense of design is bonus.

We also want you to be an endurance runner, or a triathlete, or at least to have the passion about running. This is very important.

You will be leading the Android development for Stryd first, and possibly share the development for iOS in the future.

Being able to relocate to Boulder for the internship is preferred but we also consider the remote talent? BTW, if you like running, Boulder is pretty much your dream place. You get tons of opportunities to run and train with LOTS of elite athletes who are Stryd ambassadors here.

If interested, please send an email to kun@stryd.com

Serious question: I keep reading about high real unemployment in the U.S. and in Europe. Then 2 paragraphs later I will read something along the lines of how immigration is great because a large number of workers are needed in U.S. and Europe.

Can anyone point me to some well argued work that squares the above 2 sentences? I'm an immigrant to the U.S. myself, so I'm not anti-immigrant per se, it's just that some things have left me scratching my head.
> You're comparing the valuation of horse and buggy companies in the 1910s to Ford.

You mean there are no other companies selling electric vehicles? And clearly, if, say, Mercedes, doesn't have electric model now, it's absolutely impossible that they have one in 5 years, just like a horse & buggy company, right?
But forget about Mercedes, how about Nissan Leaf, which exists now and is the world's best selling electric car? Shouldn't Nissan be valued at similarly crazy valuations? Or they won't be part of this new brave world and don't get to eat from the "new slice of pie"?

Yes and no. If you hold a stock you avoid paying taxes on it and if that exact stock goes up, you "win" because you get more for it later. However there is no way to get a "return" on the capital that is tied up in the stock in some other way without some shenanigans. One dubious way was taking a loan out at the full value of the stock (stock is collateral) and then using the proceeds from the loan to invest in other funds. Back when day trading was "the thing to do" I met a guy who was full of these schemes and like the mortgage crisis later, when the crash came I'm not sure how they unwound, even if they did.
Words over strategies helped me win
I was interviewed recently and the question was "what helped you grow your business?"

My response was --
I learnt how to use words to my advantage. To pack them with value and deliver it to prospects and customers.

You see, people don’t really buy products or services.They buy the words that they are told or the words they tell themselves.

Learning how to use words will pay any business owner more dividends than investing in any other asset class. Remember, words rule the world.

It's not usually the best politician who wins the election or the best employee who gets the promotion. It's the one who knows how to use words that wins.

Sorry, if I was not clear - in the Tesla case its obvious that the "missed" numbers are the cars still in transit. But most media reports about Tesla do not seem to take this under considerations. So, yes, Tesla is a bit late, which isn't good news, but neither especially bad news, but I have seen media reports where people make "Tesla can't sell all the cars they make" out of it.
So... the Model 3 will be completely illegal to operate in most (all) of the US? That doesn't sound like a sound business decision...
Very cool. Would love for Shopify to do something similar. These full-featured, hosted CMSs - NationBuilder, Shopify, Hubspot, SquareSpace - offer a lot of neat features, but the development experience ranges from slightly frustrating to plain old miserable.
But how are they going to get you to opt-in to their spam, if they show you the prices first?
There isn't that much to learn.

Entering a growth market early and appealing to beginners can get you a lot of traction and mind-share.

Being easy to get started with is better than being easy to use overall because of human cognitive biases.

You can coast on that initial traction for a long time and remain successful because people will become "fans" and tie their ego to the tools, especially if they started using it very young.

No one gives a shit about security.

Success does not have to be correlated with providing value if you target the less informed.
If I think something will be worth $100 in 10 years I won't be paying $100 for it today. That's not how finance works. There is a risk and interest premium. Sure, if you think the risk is zero, then yes, Tesla may not be overvalued. But that's exactly my point - the risk is not zero. Neither for Tesla, nor for any other company.
I suspect it's the latter, since code not initially OSS likely has some references to IP, or org structure, some crudeness, etc. Probably easier to remove it all than rewrite.

Adding comments back in would be a great start to contributing to OSS.

Funny thing is, some Linux distros are already more Windows than Windows itself (has become)

Many of my older family members prefer Linux Mint to Windows. Also, most Browsers and Office Software are already cross OS, so they even get the same stuff they know from Windows.

The 2fa that has finally been pushed out by Apple is a great security precaution, however there will still be a large percentage that will not use it. Due to the fact of not knowing what it is. I repair phones and customers are just starting to cotton onto what find my iPhone is. There are even those who have it activated and don't even know how to use it.

Finally from a precaution avoid inputting your email address in the lock message. Also register an iCloud email. There is a better chance of apples servers detecting this as a fraud email than any other email sever thus (hoping) it will trash the bait like this.

Yeah, agree with a lot of this. I've tried pretty hard to take the feedback I've seen on Hacker News and improve the hiring process for Data Scientists at my job–in particular, we make hire/no hire decisions based primarily on take-home assessments that are heavily based on our real work, have standardized our interview questions, invest time in answering applicants' questions early in the process, and try to minimize the number of onsite interviews.

It's a bit challenging–no matter what you do, someone is going to be unhappy with your interview process–but it seems to work much better than the default of asking a bunch of algorithmic questions on a whiteboard.
The main difficulty with a side street like that is there isn't actually enough room for 4 vehicles across--2 parked and 2 going in opposite directions. Humans can deal with this pretty easily because it's usually fairly obvious who can most easily yield or even back up a little bit. It's not an especially hard problem and 2 vehicles that could formally communicate would make it easier yet. However, if the behavior depends on essentially social signals, that's somewhat harder but far from impossible to model. (You probably program the computer to politely yield if at all possible.)

However, as you say, this is yet another case where vehicles aren't expected to unthinkingly follow lane lines--if they even exist.
The really fascinating bit is how transient that kind of growth has seemed to be. All it takes is FB tweaking their algorithms to close the hole you discovered and suddenly your growth story is over. So the key is to use the window of time you have to exploit the news feed to transform your company into something that doesn't need to do shabby things like exploiting the news feed to stay alive. If you just keep riding the same pony, FB will eventually shoot it dead under you.

BuzzFeed is the one example I can think of of a company managing to use that transient effect as a sort of "booster stage" into becoming more of a general media organization, but there are plenty of others who failed to pull that transition off (Upworthy, ViralNova).
He can to a point, but once he gets tired / bored the behavior comes out even in public.

Yesterday my wife took the kids to the beach and tried to get a photo of the three of them together. In the sequence you see him pull our 3-year old down and then start chewing on his fingers while he's smacking our 1-year old in the back (not hard but quick repeated pats). The last shot is him staring at the camera with his fingers in his mouth and his other hand hitting the side of his head.

It's an incredibly sad photo for my wife and I to look at. He's obviously tormented by something internally but nobody we've worked with has a clue what it is or how to help him cope with it.

Negating K-9 Autostart (and other features)
Within K-9 Installation notes it specifies which permissions it needs to set:

I have no problem with most permissions, but wonder is there some other solution, or can a ‘Switch’ be setup to control when they are functioning, or can the function be removed?

Why do I want this : I only want K-9 to operate when the VPN is in operation!

Question regards permissions below:
- Run at start-up - This allows you to receive e-mail as soon as you turn your device on

- Prevent the device from sleeping - This allows push and poll e-mail to work

- Read sync settings - This allows us to sync contacts and other information

- Full network access - We need this in order to contact your email server.

Any insight(s) appreciated!
PostgreSQL's documentation is an excellent reference - you can learn SQL, and learn it well, just from the manual. It is pretty dry, though.

OpenBSD's man pages are also excellent reference documents. One really great thing is that they document all possible behaviors, which is disturbingly rare for (e.g.) Python libraries.
For what word representations are, see http://technology.stitchfix.com/blog/2015/03/11/word-is-wort...

Sentence classification is the generic term for bucketing sentences into different labels - those labels could be "positive", "negative" and "neutral", thus allowing for sentiment analysis.

But they could also be other labels such as "sports_news" or "finance_news". This library allows both.
