That's actually a different firm called Apollo Group (which is mostly comprised of Phoenix and a small number of other things) – Apollo Global is a much larger private equity firm with a confusingly similar name
> The active engagement of Twitch viewers can often help boost sales for games that prove popular among live streams.

Can users purchase games (from Amazon) directly through Twitch? Amazon could offer streamers a referral cut, too.
Amazon doesn't want to pay a tax to apple when they sell videos/service through an AppleTV. Amazon Prime app is available on other media players.

Apple on the other hand doesn't support their video ITunes content on non apple devices.
I'm not sure why you think anyone who disagrees with you hasn't done any reading on the topic.

I based that inference not on the fact that you disagreed with me; but on the quality of the arguments you were making.

If you spend even a little time around a junkie it's not hard to see the logic behind making addictive substances illegal.

I've personally known several heroin users, and have lived in neighborhoods that were chock full of them (in fact, quite famously so). Enough to know that (unless they choose to tell you), the vast majority of the time you'd have no idea they were using.

It is in fact exactly these experiences which led me to study the problem more closely. So on balance I'd recommend looking at data and published studies, not just ones subjective experiences when interacting casually with (the most visible, worst case) users.
Yea i found one rare gem on flippa. Feinternational is also ok but both are limited. Flippa is mostly low end and fe is mostly 50k or more range. Honestly, look for word of mouth if possible too. Niche online communities are a good way to find potential sellers/sales

I am actually a bit against nude beaches, as I rather have all beaches have clothing as the decision of the wearer and not culture. Nude beaches has always sound a bit like reservations for foreign culture, barely tolerated and put out of sight.

I would also like to see nudist and Muslims go hand in hand in a common demonstration against clothing laws. A common demand that society should be more tolerant to other peoples views and culture, and sign of faith that they too can do so. In this fantasy, it would mean a end to phobias against other cultures.
I used to send emails from my own servers, with everything configured according to the best practices, as much as I could. This was for account management emails: things like verifying user accounts, resetting passwords, etc.

It seems my emails were getting into spam boxes or outright rejected over 50% of the time, which obviously was driving users away. Mails would sometimes be classified as spam on my own Gmail, even after telling it multiple times to not mark those emails as spam. So I switched to Mailgun, and things have been much more peaceful - sometimes emails take a while to arrive, but I don't remember the last time anyone said it was in spam. It was not about the email content, as the content didn't change...

What's your experience with this? I suppose some domains/TLDs and certain IP address ranges are more prone to be classified as spam than others, and that's why I prefer using an external service: hopefully these guys can control their infrastructure in ways I can't do with mine. But I'm also a supporter of Internet decentralization, and email is one of those things that in principle is easily decentralized...
I was told that a person with an H4B VISA can work only after the PERM has been accepted, during the adjustment of status (the last step of a green card process)
Sometimes programmers need to look at unusual files: binary files, very big files, odd data files. Epsilon was designed without the limits of other editors, so it can handle these kinds of jobs, as well as ordinary files. For example, with Epsilon, lines can be as long as you like.

This text editor gets it. Such a contrast to some of the editors we have today where anything over a few megabytes is an edge case not worth fixing.

I don't think it's hard to predict that police will harass a black person in a white neighborhood if someone complains, and my guess is that it's not the first time it's happened in that particular neighborhood.

I would guess it's not the first time the police pulled a report from Nextdoor.

I don't know, but if that's your premise, this particular world must be very confusing for you ... :)
Ask HK: Do You Use Schisandra?
Schisandra is an asiatic plant, a climber with clusters of red berries used in traditional chinese medicine. I'm taking a look at some scientific papers about this plant, and things got interesting:

Antioxidant:

"Schisandra chinensis is a common herbal medicine with sedative and tonic actions
can significantly inhibit or directly scavenge free radicals and enhance the antioxidant function in animal. Its polysaccharide possesses many pharmacological actions such as antioxidant, antitumor and immunoregulation." (Yue et all. Plos One 10(7) Aug 2015)

Stress management:

Stress-protective effect against a broad spectrum of harmful factors via stabilizing Cortisol levels

Non-specific confirmed Liver protection against toxins

Ip, Mak, Li, Poon & Ko, 1996. Effect of a Lignan-Enriched Extract of Schisandra Chinensis on Aflatoxin B1 and Cadmium Chloride-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats. Pharmacology & Toxicology 78(6)

And a long list including: Improves mental performance, Reduces tiredness and sleeplessness, may help enhance vision, helps normalize blood pressure

In short, looks like a wish list for coders. I'm always sceptic about this things so, if you used it, could you please share your experience? thanks

The implied answer is typically "yes". It's the _correct_ answer that's typically "no".
I guess I'm reading it as the plaintiff having to 'sell their access' to the system, as part of the potential proceeds, in order to get justice.

If you don't have the requisite funds, you sell part of your potential proceeds (which become profits to the investor) in order to get access to the justice system. Or, in Hogan's case, sold his case (access to the justice system) to Theil so they could both achieve their goals.

(so maybe, it's just a less-clear phrase than it should be?)
I'll stick with Emacs for now. $250 is a bit heavy for those of us with little disposable income.

In addition, I fail to see the advantage of this over Emacs: Emacs already has pretty much all of Epsilon's features, and a larger community. Furthermore, I highly doubt that its extensibility features are as extensive.

It's kinda cool, though.

Sidenote: why do I always see the HN headlines up to a day ahead in the previous headlines? Is this just thing everybody sees? Or am I just really lucky picking my threads?
There is a serious misrepresentation in this issue.

These companies already have 'equal pay' for 'equal work'. Google and Amazon have published their figures at 99.6% equality.

Ergo - the 'pay gap' - does not exist, or is at least misrepresented.

The 'gap' is a function of people doing different work.

Now - there may be a degree of unfairness with respect to advancement, specifically, men are more likely to be employed in senior level positions.

But it's unfair to characterize even this issue in simplistic 'equal' terms. In high tech, those with tech credential have a significant advantage. Given this, the fact that only about 15% of Eng. grads in the US are female, creates a credibility issue around the 'equal' problem.

If those willing to obtain the necessary credentials are skewed in one direction, is it really fair, or even 'equal' to skew the balance in the opposite direction? Is this 'equality' or 'ideology'?

"Companies that sign the pledge must conduct an annual study of gender pay and review hiring and promotion processes for bias, among other steps."

At least this part, seems reasonable.

But it's a very fine line between: 'making sure we are fair and equal' and 'promoting women, because, well, we need our numbers to balance'.

Finally, of course, there are the optics of the situation. However much companies believe they actually need to do this is one thing, the other is, the kind of 'corporate image' they want to present to the world.

In 2016 - there are very drastic differences between genders - 'socially constructed' or not - they exist. I know very, very few women who want to create a new company - or at least go so far as to actually try to do it. This could be a function of many things (role models, networks), including many factors and complex ways in which we are socialized into the world. That said - it definitely indicates a 'funnel problem' which cannot be realistically avoided by industry participants.

We need thoughtfulness on this one, not populism.
That statistic only targets drug crime (possession, selling, manufacturing, smuggling), but not the associated crimes like theft, robbery and prostitution, or burglary/forgery (e.g. to get "legal" drugs from pharmacies or Rx blocks from doctors).

Depending on the crime, in Germany up to 26% of specific crimes (here: vehicle burglary) relate to known hard-drug users (https://www.polizei.nrw.de/media/Dokumente/Behoerden/LKA/Lag... page 5, section 1.9).

When assuming similar numbers for the US, I'd rather think of up to 40% of inmates in due to drug-associated crimes.

edit: Also, violence and gun crimes should be counted to drug-related, if the crime was committed in relation to "turf wars" or similar gang activity... and furthermore, drug convictions usually make a person next to unhireable, which leaves the convict without legal means to earn money other than social security, which isn't nearly as comprehensive and extensive as e.g. Germany's system. This in turn leads to more drug-related crime... all of which could be avoided by simply legalizing the most common kinds of drugs.
Thanks for clarification. I am just worried about the possible implications. My main concern is the message you send whenever you share this email account online, e.g., on a résumé, with a job application, or with a government agency.

If this company has this history, or even worse, it recognizes itself as "kind of left-wing" (and not funded by a left wing party), you never know how people see that. We should have freedom of speech, yet you can't say certain things publicly.

Ah, I don't understand the downvotes in my parent comment. It would be great if people could clarify that.
I don't play computer games either, or watch Twitch streams, but I have watched quite a few "Let's Play" walkthroughs on YouTube (mostly old adventure games). You get to experience the game's story and puzzles without the frustration. ;)
I'm laughing at your NIMBYism, but some big city along the northern California or southern Oregon coast would make the corridor from Vancouver to San Francisco more contiguous, which could help to justify a high-speed rail line.

That's very intriguing to me -- I've rarely/never seen it be slower, and usually at least several times faster. Are you using benchmark.py? If so, can you send a link to a Gist with the output? It may be that the C module is not compiling, and it's falling back to the much slower pure Python module.
I think "ϵpsilon" was my first programmer's editor, although I think I had previously written programs in EDT, Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++, QBASIC, GW-BASIC, ZBASIC, IBM Basic, Applesoft Basic, WordStar, and a thing called Video Scribe for HDOS. It was so much better than nearly all of the alternatives, even though I didn't use its IDE features.

It was super helpful to me to have used ϵpsilon when I got my first Unix account in 1993, because I already knew how to use Emacs, almost. Some of the basic keybindings (like exiting and changing windows) were different enough to be an obstacle.

And then I never looked back. From then on I used my 286 to run Procomm+ and Vernon Buerg's LIST.COM, not to write programs on. Sorry, ϵpsilon. Emacs is an entire universe.

(Since then I've also programmed in vim, IDEA, Eclipse, some prototype editors I've written, Arduino, XCode, Notepad, OpenSCAD, and browsers, mostly in order to collaborate with other people and occasionally because they are better integrated with one or another more or less shitty system than Emacs is. But Emacs is pretty much the most convenient way to program for me.)
This is great for the US and many foreign entrepreneurs, but would suck for other country's startup efforts. Its like the Golden State Warriors getting Kevin Durant.
Indeed, that works, thank you :) I had previously tried "vscode" and other variations, but it appears the executable name is the super-generic Code.exe. There's still the problem of VS Code opening when I wanted VS, but for this case I'll try to use "devenv" instead.
> it's that you can't distinguish them from lucky winners.

Jim Simmons doesn't agree, see Renaissance Technologies as an example. And time would week out lucky winners; luck isn't consistent over long time periods and this is just one example.
I was involved with a compiler pre-2006, and it's a fairly obvious observation that the Intel and AMD instruction decoding of the day was happier with multi-byte nops over multiple nops, for different reasons, but still faster for both.
Someday, I'd love to see an x64 Visual Studio. I've read the arguments (there's two canonical blog posts about it), but I'm just really sick of it hitting the memory limits on a 32-bit process all the time, when I have another 12 - 28 GB of RAM sitting unused.
I think it also comes with age. I'm nearly 40 and frankly I don't care what others think about my programming prowess, for better or worse.

Agree on your advice to your kids. Was telling mine something similar over dinner tonight, though my eldest is only 7.

I think the biggest liberation is not keeping up with others. But it's also generational as well. This guy is likely under 40, has a big mortgage etc. The game has (sadly) changed now in that failure is not an option due to crippling debt. At 56 you won't have had to face the same challenges the next generation face. It truly does suck. I think this is crippling productivity as people just cannot take risks as easily any more unless they are fresh out of school.

Sigh! Anyhow have a good weekend and I agree we should not let the above stop us no matter how tough it gets!
I used emacs at a very basic level for many years, and then I switched to vim and I was very happy. The way of vi fit me so much better than all the chords with emacs. I used vim for about 10 years. Lately I've transitioned back to emacs, because VimL/VimScript or whatever you call it is a nightmare, and I began looking into org mode in emacs and I wanted it very much.

So I installed emacs with evil, got into a place where vi key bindings didn't work and I was stuck. So I turned off evil and stuck with normal emacs for a while. Until I knew I wouldn't be stuck if I got thrown out of vi key bindings. Then I turned evil mode back on.

No need to wait a year or more. Just Get a basic familiarity with plain emacs and then switch to evil. You get the best of both worlds.
>For a hash table, the general "promise" is that you map a very large space of keys (e.g. all strings) to a very small space of indexes using a simple function

Well, AFAICT there is no mention of any of this in the document. No "promise" or any such thing has been said or implied. Please stick to what the author has actually said rather than what you imagine people are thinking about when reading the document.

>. Common sense might tell you that this shouldn't be possible ("how can you put something big into something small?")

No, it doesn't tell me that at all, because that point is not brought up in the document. But is that how you think most people learn? Using common sense?

>But by saying "let's assume no collisions" the reader is asked to just ignore the logical contradiction instead of solving it.

Sure, you think those are the logical contradictions in the readers' minds. Can you actually establish that?

> But bad simplification can be very annoying for some learners.

A list of what is annoying for "some" learners is quite possibly very very large. Lets not....

Anyway, we can go down this rabbit hole, but it isn't actually productive, and quite boring to be honest. My point is that every-time someone tries simplify something for beginners, people seem to relish that opportunity to show everyone how "smart" they are about trivial data-structures. Yes, if you want somebody to make an expository article for beginners with the detail of something like TAOCP, then yeah, you're going to be disappointed. But, you can and should learn Newtonian physics, even if its "wrong", before you move on to Einstein.

It takes a lot of upfront work, but I haven't had to do much maintenance on it since the initial setup and my emails get delivered. You have to set up SPF and DKIM, appeal to the blocklists, and set up reverse DNS. Then you have to, you know, not spam people. I highly recommend mail-tester.com, you can send them an email and they'll tell you how to improve it. Here's my score: https://www.mail-tester.com/web-ghs5t5
I'd say that rainwater isn't all that pure, but setting conductivity aside, what about basic heat? Plasma is hot, very hot. Rain, liquid water, is very cold. To keep the plasma you would have to vaporize the water. That requires massive energy. And the amount of water on a wing is insane. Even if not on the leading edge, lots of water flows along the wing surfaces. At 300km/hour it would be like randomly pouring buckets directly on the plasma shown in the OP. I doubt it could be made stable enough without heating the entire wing red-hot.
I can't seem to enable indexing for my team's public repos, only my own. Other sites with GitHub login (e.g. Travis) allow you to login as your team rather than your individual user. Can this be enabled?
Over any one year, sure, even over a few years, sure, but when you see consistent winners over decades in numbers that exceed what random chance would expect, it's foolish to still insist the market is random other that it being a good way to sell books. I know what the book discusses, and the book is an unproven hypothesis, it doesn't need to be disproven as it has never been proven in the first place.

That markets are random is a hypothesis only; one lacking sufficient evidence to declare it a theory.

No one has proven markets are random and that's where the burden of proof lies.
Would you rather they pay you back than cause 30k+ per year to the taxpayer. How about they are in a job program and earn it back for you and garnished wages until it is paid.

Also did you have insurance? Did it cover it? Do you need someone locked in a box for years because of it? Is it that level of crime? What if you have a son and he did it, would you want him turned into a lifetime criminal? Our current system is basically locking people into a life of crime and bringing criminals together to further spiral into it.
Renaissance Tech? Clearly at some level of expenditure you can beat risk/return of the market, but it doesn't necessarily scale either up or down. You need enough money to hire your army of PhDs, but not so much money that it starts to affect the market.

edit: heh, snap.

San Francisco ain't my backyard, by a long shot.

> some big city along the northern California or southern Oregon coast would make the corridor from Vancouver to San Francisco more contiguous, which could help to justify a high-speed rail line.

AFAIK, the geography of the Northen California to Southern Oregon coast isn't real conducive either to a high-speed rail line or a big city.

(If you want a Manhattan of the West Coast, it probably would make more sense to try to build it in the LA area, where an extra couple million people packed in a tight area would still obviously require radical new local infrastructure where it came together, but wouldn't be as significant of a relative increase in demand on regional infrastructure.)

At least 4 things:

1) Apple had iPod and iPhone, 2 massive hits, most companies are lucky to get one. The hangover will be long.

2) There doesn't seem to be a lot of 'meta' thinking. Watches have been around. Cars - definitely a big lateral move, but what does the car do that is special? Is Apple able to make initiatives that are more than the sum of it's parts?

3) Apple would not exist without tech foundations. Engineers delve into areas that are boring to designers. Without engineering leadership ... the designers won't have the building blocks they need.

4) Software. Software at Apple is lagging. So much focus on physicality, and UX. What about that the fact that my 'Notes' app on Mac is a POS and doesn't work? It's broken. iTunes is slow and crappy. The UX keeps changing in odd ways. Weird things happen on my Mac. Are there problems in the foundation?

X is data. There is no defined structure to it apart from the fact that there are N elements and you can select them. Is it a linked list, is it a random access array? It is not yet defined to be structured in any way. Furthermore you can analyze (and implement) this algorithm independent of the assumptions you make about how the access operation is performed, and then add those assumptions back in if you want to do another analysis.
