> The equivalent would be a site that contains an ID for illegal drugs, and when you click the link it connects to a pharmaceutical 3D printer that instantly constructs the drug from raw materials in violation of narcotics law.

And the user had to previously choose how to route these requests to 3D printers through a completely independent application. The original site itself doesn't make the IDs do anything. By default clicking those magnet links does nothing at all. A UPC code is a good analogy.

So the printer is clearly doing illegal things. But is the original site illegal because a totally different person automated drug-buying? And it's not a pachinko setup either. These are truly independent actors.
Maybe you're increasing the work by deciding an order. I've testing this approach several times of actually laying out complex arguments graphviz-style and watching people's eyes as they review it. Everyone seems to traverse the graph differently, depending on which parts challenge them.
I think there is certainly room to present graphs replete with pleasant and unpleasant traversals highlighted. It should also be possible to deconstruct misleading traversals.

But those sites you're talking about are actually distributing content illegally. They're not linking to things, or doing even less.
Standardized testing really doesn't help this either. Yes you could take a couple of weeks to do a deep dive on an interesting topic to get the students engaged, but to pass the test they need to be memorizing the same dates and names that everybody in the country has to memorize in order to pass the test.

Granted, most teachers were doing that anyway, but for the few who bucked the trend they were reined in by the SOLs.
Business Idea of the Day – Habit Replacing App
Ben in the book "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" summed up how one becomes ready to be CEO of an early stage company nicely. You become trained to be a CEO of an early stage company by becoming the CEO of an early stage company.

It's not a defined role, its deserved by someone who is capable of pulling off success in business by controlling anarchic situations. It's not like they can teach the skills to do that in school.
Presumption of guilt is fascist. Prosecuting the accessory before the crime. Content is not inherently illegal in and of itself. Was it was actually found to be illegally published by an EU court? No. I would argue they have no copyright here. She is very much in the pubic domain. (sic)

Well, I don't know how much uninformed about economics you actually are, but I think that at least part of this perceived verbosity is due to you being acquainted with it through stuff aimed at lay people. The Economist is a sort of popular economics reporting magazine (a "pop-econ" magazine). The stuff they write is aimed at a general audience.

Though admittedly economic articles are do seem verbose when compared with math or physics articles. But there's a lot of variance in their verbosity, too: theoretical articles are pretty much just math. Empirical guys on the other hand are always somewhat verbose, as they like having some plausible stories behind the mechanisms they're testing or to explain why their instrumental variable is exogenous. The literature of subfields are/were almost entirely verbose, such as in the case of the old institutional economics.

I'd say that it all boils down to: how wide the intended audience is; how established is a field or subfield is; how do new articles fit in with the older literature. When all you've got in your head is some hazy philosophical point, trying to formalize it from the outset will probably just alienate you from the discipline. So older literature will be, on average, more verbose than current literature. On the other hand, if all people do is point out more and more new issues, and if every new article is "orthogonal" to each other, they might never produce a succint framework (in which case it all turns into philosophy). And this goes for other fields too: mathematics was a verbose field too until some of it's ideas became common sense, and so was physics. Economics is still undergoing a lot of changes, and will probably undergo a lot more as economists focus themselves on narrower issues and as more data is collected.
Embrace contrived progress meters.

I put every trivial to-do related to a repo into a github issue.

I commit routinely, even for small changes, with a short message.

These stink of make-work, but they expose my progress to my other remote colleagues.

Slack is an exception...using it as a progress meter just annoys others.
Is this really "the market's price" if workers are not allowed to choose their employers?
As for the danger part. It sounds like men are socially forced to accept danger and risk, I doubt most men really want to do it, but they are forced to be providers while us women are socially forced to be caretakers.
'Courage'
I disagree. True, command lines are another shadow on the cave wall, but they're a sharper shadow: they show more of what's actually happening, and they give you tools to get more information about, as Stephenson would put it, "the tangled nam-shubs beneath." This is arguably not inherent to the command line, but it's definitely inerent to how GUIs work: GUIs cannot compose, are harder to script, and cannot show the kind of info CLIs can, if they wish to remain accessible (there's a reason there's no graphical method to get the inode number of a file). I think Stephenson expressed this quite well.
Not necessarily, it can be extended to support multithreading:

A guy I used to work for once described his path to the top of a large company as, "being lazy enough to want to delegate everything, having enough experience in enough fields to know who to delegate to, and being smart enough to know what tasks are worth your time."

Of course removing the slave labor will radically change the economy and render parts of it untenable. imho an economy predicated on slave labor doesn't really deserve to exist at all.
Remote work is like catnip to me. Not the actual work thing (I spent 18 months working for a Texan university while five time zones away, so I know a little about it) but the thing for me is the movement

Remote work should be everywhere. Almost every office job could be done remotely with far less crappy distraction. I think that there are genuine difficulties with close co-ordination, with productivity etc, but these are far far out weighed by the gains (I got some real work done remotely and I was not the one of the best)

There are I think three things preventing remote working taking off

- managers cannot manage. With remote worker you have to manage the work itself, which means the proxies for good work (ie telling if someone is a good worker, is engaged is enthusiastic etc) are gone, and so it is necessary to define the work upfront, decide if you are getting that work and correct. This is really hard and usually the managers reporting line wants them facing up most of the time thus reducing the time they have to manage.

- companies cannot compete. If your company is the only factory in say a thirty mile radius, you are a monopoly employer and get to pick the best workers for a pittance. If more factories spring up, you are now competing with those other factories for the best workers and salaries should rise. Now imagine the radius is 30,000 miles. Companies are now competing against every other company for their workers. It is possible remote workers will act like football superstars and extract majority of profit from firms

- the "out of place"'tipping point. Untill 51% of coworkers are remote the company culture does not change and you are a second class citizen

I think these are big headwinds for remote working
I mostly read the site on a tablet and the font sizes are microscopic, especially in the comments.
While in general I'm not opposed to free trade, I think this is the right move because of what I've read about the TPP specifically. But I rarely read anything positive about it. Could someone who knows more about the TPP explain what the positives of the deal would be?

With Microsoft upping the free space requirements, are 32GB devices going to be abandoned? Upgrading a Stream 7 from Windows 8 to 10 will result in a shorter support lifecycle for people not willing to start from scratch installing the Anniversary update from USB. Windows 8.1 is supported until 2023. Windows 10? 2025.

BUT ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle?C2=18165&force... ) :

• Updates are cumulative, with each update built upon all of the updates that preceded it. A device needs to install the latest update to remain supported.

One is better off to not have upgraded to Win10 on the Stream.

When these were being dumped onto the market for $80 they came with free Office 365 Personal that I used on another machine. They also came with $25 credit on the Microsoft store. Sort of a no-brainer. If you run Chrome for any video they are able to play Youtube or Safari videos. It's a gym tablet, i.e. you won't really care if you accidentally crush it with an ellitical beam. The other use for the Stream is as a Chrome Remote Desktop for a real device.
Hmmm, I wrote a todo-inator that extracted todos etc from code comments. I would use that as micro-tickets so my progress was visible to me. Expanding the idea to show others what I was doing was a blog thing that never took off but I like the general idea.

This is a cool idea. I'd love to see it easy to create apps that can communicate using something like this and/or Bluetooth mesh networks
You're right wireless charging should already be here too.

As for the headphone jack, I tried to clean it many times
but couldn't fix the problem. Although, I haven't tried compressed air yet.

We have wifi sync, bluetooth peripherals, the only remaining thing for a cordless future is wireless charging.

Maybe we'll see the removal of the lightning port as yet another bold move. It would line up with
Apple's vision. But then I think Apple will develop some kind of a new short-range wireless transmission protocol that's inconsistant with everything else.

If they'd fix all the problems, what would be left to sell :)?
I love text editors, especially Vim.

However, I realize we no longer are tied to paper or use low-power, low-bandwidth computers. Images, still and moving, effectively are as easily handled by the computing platform as words. I believe the reason humans have used text so much more than images so far is that never before in history have we had a platform that efficiently handles multimedia. I need to effectively express myself using images; you can see people naturally doing that for casual purposes with Snapchat, etc.[0]

But even with my eyes opened and my willingness to move forward, I'm limited by available tools. There is no productivity tool that a user can use to efficiently process mixed text and image (and audio).

We need a Vim for multimedia, or at least a Word.

[0] Yes, text is still a great tool, but it's not the best tool for every job.
IBWCL is dated, true, but it's still an excellent essay, and I would argue required reading for anyone learning about programming, computing, and/or UX/UI. If nothing else, it provides an excellent understanding of what abstractions are, and what sort of tradeoffs you make by using one, while still being more or less comprenhensible to the layman, unlike Steve Yegge, who covers more programming-specific topics, although often of the same nature.

Knowing this stuff is important, because in computing, abstractions are pretty much what we do. We build them, manipulate them, argue about them, consider them harmful, and continue to travel up and down the endless stack of turtles. Knowing why the endless stack of turtles exists is important and useful, and that's part of what this essay provides.

For the last problem you can bend the sheet such as the two arrows point in to the same direction(up) and are in the same side, that is a rectangle. On the side of the arrows(left of the rectangle), the bottom half is an arrow pointing up and the upper half is an arrow also pointing up.

Then you bend the paper such that the lower side meets the center and the wrap around the upper side around the previous bend. I got a cilinder

I see a fundamental conflict for writing between persuasion and logical argumentation.

Persuasive writing means I want to reader to get into an agreement habit. Start with something uncontroversial and work towards your core point. Avoid detours. Avoid negative triggers. In contrast, for a logical argument you should include objections and address them.

Persuasion works on a more psychological level and logic is not that relevant. As long as you don't trigger too many bullshit detectors in your audience, you are fine without logic.

I resent your comment about immigrants, it comes off as extremely racist.

I'm a woman, My brother and I are first generation korean-american developers, and were trained by our father to be computer literate, so we could get jobs. He taught us life isn't easy.

We experienced some racism, low ball offers,horrible working conditions.Both of our working circumstances don't seem that different then yours.

But it's crystal clear to me a lot of the working conditions for developers just suck in general. My brother and a few of his friends attempted suicide, he worked in silicon valley for a startup, his friends worked all over the place. He was bullied and threatened by his boss.
My father had to drag my brother back home on the east coast to take care of him. My brother still isn't the same even years later.

Hell, Just listen to some of the horror stories from amazon.
>not to in any way denigrate the design. its very cute an clever for simple controller applications. but it really kind of folds a few functions in the ur-instruction with reasonable interpretations that turn part of the machine into a nop.

It's not like SUBLEQ is a very simple instruction either. It has to read two memory addresses, perform arithmetic, and write the result back, on top of possibly branching.

This machine writes a fixed bit to one address, and reads one bit from another address, branching on it. Even if you break it down into micro-ops, that's two instructions. Set-bit and branch. I'd call it simpler.

Only Guile does that, AFAIK. And Chicken's threads are perfectly usable in most cases. And you can always fork(2), if you really want to.
That's a great idea for a start up. You don't even need everyone to test things. Just getting a sample by brand, location etc would be enough.
Well, one point is that if the US decides not to ratify it or takes too long, there is a competing agreement that China has proposed that would give greater trade freedom to China, and their proposal has far less in terms of ecological and human rights protections. Not to mention that it would mean that the US loses a bunch of leverage against China economically.

"Golly, your honor, I had no idea that magnet links could be clickable and that, if people clicked, they could download the file, thereby facilitating copyright infringement..."

Good luck selling that line of argument. You might have an argument if the protocol actually did trigger off of unlinked UPC codes and sites didn't have to construct special links that conform to a standard (in which case you could download movies by browsing Amazon or IMDB). But if a site publishes magnet links there is no denying knowledge of what those links do. Or I guess you could try to deny but no judge or jury with an IQ over 50 would believe it.

This is based on a survey of Management Consultants. For those who have not worked with Management Consultants, or seen the Showtime series "House of Lies", these are not the guys you want to be your CEO. (The TV show is fictionalized, of course, but it's based on a book written by a management consultant.)

Their characteristics are rapaciousness, self focus, political and emotional manipulation and greed. They do well for themselves, not so well for the company.

So, I question the premise of this article from the beginning as its source material is not successful CEOs who spent more than 10 years at the company in question or in the CEO role.

Edit: I see I'm being buried. To be fair, there's a difference between a "management consultant" and an consulting engineer. consulting engineers get stuff done. Management consultants can also come up with great ideas (as shown in the show I referenced above) and can legitimately add value. But they are best as consultants, not employees and not CEOs. Of course generalizations are false if applied strictly- there are exceptions.

I just think that a better survey of successful CEOs would be necessary to draw any serious conclusions.

AND - more specifically- having worked with management consultants and a variety of CEOs of startups who didn't have startup backgrounds, for a startup you generally don't want a management consultant as your founding CEO.
