Agreed, though in this case it's more like smoking, or exposing yourself to a large dose of radiation, because there's a latency in between the event (Brexit vote) and the ultimate outcome.

Just because you don't develop cancer the very next day doesn't mean you won't suffer long-term health consequences[0]. Likewise, just because the outlook two months later doesn't look dire, that doesn't mean the UK won't suffer long-term economic consequences from the vote.

(The disease analogy breaks down when you also factor in the uncertainty around whether Article 50 would even be invoked after the vote, or the uncertainty around what the ultimate outcome of the exit negotiations will be.)

[0] Likewise, just because you develop cancer, that doesn't exactly mean that you got it because of that exposure either.
That's one bunch of sad looking people.
From the outside it looks like the owner is using "startup" as a cover to run a consulting shop with significantly underpaid stuff. In any potential liquidity event given the revenue structure and company age it's likely that it pretty much will be valued as a consulting shop with 6 consultants.
Heat dissipation is proportional to the surface area, so this suggests a reason that information density is (physically) bound by surface area, rather than volume.
Theoretically you could negotiate a deal where you don't have a responsibility of reporting to your first round investors (not far fetched given the current climate).

In practice seed investments consist of multiple $100k-$250k checks, which are generally too small for the investors to put any pressure on your startup. Seed investors write dozens or hundreds of these checks, and they don't have the bandwidth (nor desire) to put any pressure on the founders. The pressure kicks in when you raise series A and get partners on your board who only make a few investments per year.

Since this has happened my (gen 1) chromecast experience has gone almost totally to crap.

The built in functionality is supposed to be smart about down scaling for wifi speed, and thus has removed all options to do it manually; unfortunately it utterly fails (I believe because wifi speed is fine but the bitrate is too high for the hardware).

Lots of people don't like this update. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chromecast/5IG1...

Streaming from my android is also much worse, with high bitrate streams that I used to consume regularly no longer working at all (e.g <1 fps).

I have been extremely happy with my chromecast until the last few months, and it honestly has become something I really dislike now.
Can anyone confirm: What I heard from VCs is that the hype AI is over again. Not that they don't see a future in AI but ...

- It's more difficult than expected; even narrow focussed Ai powered bots have huge difficulties to understand

- It's just another channel for existing products/business

- Often 'AI' means a chat based interface with a well defined command set like a CLI we all know

So, is it still wise to write AI-powered on a pitch deck?

License requirements are generally not well understood at large, even among activists and other people involved with copyleft/free culture/etc. There's a plausible scenario where content author B takes content author A's work, creates something based on it, adds what looks like is the necessary (minimal) attribution that you're talking about here, and then content author A regards it as an attempt to diminish the credit that is due to them.

Content author B, being a thoughtful person and wanting to mitigate this response, but not wanting to allow B's own publication to hinge on establishing a dialogue with A beforehand, may look at this and opt to take a "safer" approach, which involves liberally giving credit so that attribution is well-known. (In other words, what the phrase "for good measure" means; no one can reasonably say that B was trying to diminish any credit due to A.)

Now, your comments here are indistinguishable from the ones someone would have posted after looking at the facts that we have and asking themselves, "what's the worst possible way to interpret this situation so that I can infer malice from this series of events?". I don't know if this is what you did, but the point is, your output here is indistinguishable from that of someone who had.

Here's where the strang-loopiness shows up and where the kicker lies: if you take exception with this line of argument, (so long as you're internally consistent) then you are necessarily compelled to be upset with your own earlier statements that you've made here.
Absolutely agree. Another commenter says "doesn't matter if he's planning to run the car into the ground" but a) we don't know that and b) In theory anything mechanical (or electronic) has a useful life whereby that life is reduced by wear and tear.

You also are unable to avail yourself of worker's compensation if you get hurt and unemployment compensation when you are laid off.

It astonishes me that anyone could be so ignorant as to say there is nothing wrong with making people invoice you. As you've correctly stated, it's a completely different relationship. Even the liability is different.

If you're a contractor and the guy who signs your checks says "nice ass! Now shut up and do your work" He's pretty much just pissed you off and as a self-employed contractor, you're free to decline and move on to another "client". If that same person is your employer, he's broken several civil laws and in most jurisdictions, committed an actual crime.

We could both go on for hours on the differences which is why this whole thing amazes me.
I think it's reasonable to ask someone for a PR but it's also reasonable for that person to ask the maintainers how to do it. As a maintainer of a fairly popular library, I would love if everyone who "+1'd" a feature request asked on our slack channel how to implement it, or even emailed me. I've started closing feature requests that we aren't going to implement (don't belong in the core library) with something like "Closing because we will not implement this in the core. If you'd like to implement this as a plugin, post here and I can direct you in the right direction."

My experience is that startups uniformly pay less (significantly in some cases) than established companies. They also (warning: anecdata) fudge the pay schemes, doing thinks like counting a hiring bonus which can be clawed back as part of salary, or running a "stock options/equity" scam, etc.
It's true that the real ramifications of Brexit remain to be seen. But it's interesting to see how many people want Brexit to fail. What if we don't need a fledgling world government in the form of the EU? What if its okay for different groups of people to retain their autonomy and their sovereignty--something people have fought and died for throughout history? Would that be such a disaster?

The cost of basic groceries & clothing is down dramatically over the last 50 years. The price of housing could be too, but we've decided that it's more important to keep prices rising and supplies limited.
Also if he is reporting income then he is calculating depreciation (or should be) for tax purposes.
This comes up a lot in a discussion about taxes, and there's a big logical problem with it.

We have a much higher wealth gap than those countries. So tax burden as a percentage isn't a useful metric.

If we had a healthier lower and middle class, they would be paying more in taxes, which would ease the burden on the wealthiest considerably. But our middle class is shrinking, and the rich are becoming extraordinarily rich. So of course their tax burden as a percentage of the whole is going to be more.

The concern people have is about the taxes that individuals in the top brackets pay in relation to the middle and lower brackets, but also this acts as a proxy for concern about infrastructure, safety nets and an ever shrinking middle class.
AI is still having trouble competing with us in terms of general intelligence and creative ability. I will be very surprised if AI can ever generate a movie, song, video game, or book completely on its own that can actually compete with human created entertainment.

I did exactly this! Bought a used NV2500, went to town. Took 7 months to build. Have closets, cabinets, cooktop, sink, wood floors, butcher block counters, fridge, electricity via solar, bed, etc. etc.

I knew nothing about insulation, wiring, woodwork, power tools, etc. and learned everything as I built it.

Was not cheap, because I didn't want to give up any luxuries, so breakeven is in a matter of years, not months. However, its been treating me well. I have spots that I prefer in South Bay and in San Francisco depending where I'm working out of.

In the 1970's TV series Trapper John, M.D. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapper_John,_M.D.) one of the characters, "Gonzo", is a doctor working alongside Trapper John, while living in a motoro home ("The Titanic") in the hospital's parking lot.

Man, think of all the money you can save if you have a good income, and live in a motor home virtually for free.

Gonzo legitimized the whole concept. :)

You're right, but almost all colloquial usage of Big-O seems to be close to theta-O because people pick the tightest bound they can.

For a succesful coup, you have to do a few things very quickly (hours),

*Take over the media (simply not possible in America
due to the volume), initially to block
information

*Take over the Military (Too large and diverse
to accomplish in America.)

*Arrest/Detain all political opposition.
(there are simply too many local governments
in America for this to happen.)

You have hours to accomplish all of this. If you can't manage it in hours, you will have an uprising and if you aren't quickly put down, you are in for a civil war.
Oh, in that case I had no idea what I was talking about. Still a pretty useful 'feature' in any case.

When you use a git GUI some console actions can be made easier:

- I can stage/unstage/reset my changes line-by-line

- I can observe the whole repository structure as it was at the moment of commit

- Gui client automatically keeps my submodules in the valid state so I don't need to check their state after each checkout

- I can quickly review the whole repo history (sometimes it can be useful when I am involved in a new project)

- I can see clearly the commits which are going to be pushed
I keep a small toolbag (heh-heh) that I stuff the essentials into: hammer, measuring tapes, screwdrivers, etc. My entire collection of useful tools (that aren't in the bag) would easily fit into a small UHaul box. Even though I rarely use them, knowing I have them helps keep me from panic buying.
I can't even test the functionality because it won't let me pass the first screen because I don't have config user.email set in my gitconfig.

http://imgur.com/a/T4s4o

I have a pre-commit hook that is installed on all new repo's I create/clone that warns me, and then I set an email address PER REPO. This way I can work on both $WORK and open source projects on the same machine while having different email addresses per repository.

The assumption that a user needs to have user.email set globally breaks my entire work-flow.
I think the canonical example of bad adventure game design is a "puzzle" in the Gabriel Knight series to construct a false mustache to disguise yourself as Lt. Mosely, who does not have a mustache, to commit credit card fraud.

A lot of the top 10% is caused by wealth disparity between states. Being in California or New York you can be the top 10% of wealth for the U.S., but just be doing "OK" (and not anywhere close to the top 10% of California or New York earners). So that said there needs to be clear distinction between the top 10% and the top 1%.

Not disputing you, but why is WrkRiot so repellent? It's unique and recognizable. I'll admit that "Riot" is just weird, but is that the main reason?

(not trolling, I'm serious)
In my thinking, this has two answers.

1) First, an old parable:

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.

I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

2) If I've learned one thing, its that without other people, life is largely meaningless, or at least, a very much great deal emptier. As such, I do not think it is a logical gap to say that therefore, a large component of the "meaning" of life, lies in one's interactions with other people.

> We have a much higher wealth gap than those countries. So tax burden as a percentage isn't a useful metric.

Which is why I compared tax burden as a percentage of total taxes to income as a percentage of total income. In Sweden, the top 10% make roughly a quarter of the income and pay roughly a quarter of the taxes. In the U.S., they make about a third of the income, but pay almost half the taxes.
Because of those cuh ray zee tax increases, of course! /s

Not sure seriously. I'm with you, these people all look so sad. I'm not sure if it's a work life balance thing or if I'm just crazy thinking that, if I could insanely increase my income, I'd be happier...
At least here in the Pacific Northwest, old VW Westfalias seem to be the hot item right now (I know of at least two Westy-specific repair shops in just Seattle). But I have no idea what it would take for VW to import them. Getting rid of the "chicken tax" would be a start, as that's going to add 25% to the price right off the bat.
The author clearly worried about many of the same issues affecting his own democracy, and wrote about it too. It's not just a parody of totalitarianism if the author describes the same issues in democracy.

Totalitarianism is absolutely relevant for democracies, because many are only nominally democratic, many employ totalitarian practices and many turn into totalitarianism.

My understanding is that most (informed) people who complain about the rich not paying taxes in the U.S. are talking about capital gain taxes, inheritance/state taxes and other forms of money-from-money types of wealth. They might also be thinking of accounting tricks and deductions that severely reduce the actual tax paid for most people wealthy enough to hire the legal and accounting help required to get the most of tax laws and loopholes. Income/pay taxes in and of themselves are fairly progressive.
My point is that the puzzle should be updated to inform the reader that designing the right kind of box is a part of the puzzle:

"Jan and Maria each have plenty of padlocks, but none to which the other has a key. Using only the padlocks, keys, and a custom-designed box, how can Jan get the ring safely into Maria’s hands?"
Those jerks, they're always one step ahead.

Last year after getting made redundant from Cisco I was looking for work but there was nothing for 4 months as a Devops guy near where I live but there was plenty in London.

1. I agree with you it need more information for now it is in development stage so we don't have specifics on switches or speakers etc. As for battery life it would be hard to estimate becuase there's so many combinations and power consumption would vary widely.
We currently don't have any more plans for public consumption at this point

2. We plan on allowing third party manufactures but we are not planning on open sourcing it, since we want to maintain quality similar to what apple does with their lighting connector

3.we plan on expanding to business and students and with the current options it is possible to build a laptop with those user needs. In the future if we find one specific user base need something particular we can easily add it in the form of a module.
