I should have consulted with the authority on derogatory terms before posting such a thoughtless comment. Thank you for the correction, lord derogator :) But, again, I wasn't saying it actually is a derogatory word, it just has the harsh sound of one. Maybe it's just because it sort of rhymes with the derogatoriest word of all.

In addition to the answer given, your insurance company may not cover you if there is a problem when you rented your place out.
"The source to a Java-based Mario clone that is very different to Mario." you mean. Mario is over a decade older than Java. The NES did graphics in a wildly different way than is being done here.

And we're using Box2D physics and floating point math :p

The thing to note here is that you can make an incredibly entertaining game with a few hundred lines of code, and you can do it a lot faster than in the 80s, less memory and speed constraints, looser types, easier higher level languages.

At first I thought the pricing model was backwards, but then I considered that for each logo that was purchased there is an increase of social validation which makes it more tempting for other to buy. I also immediately thought that he marked 17 as sold to give the impression that anyone bought his logos

Finance. The world doesn't need the SEC and SOX and the rest of their unnecessary services. Human organization doesn't begin when you qualify for Reg D therefore everything related to financial instruments is about to be codified into open protocols (equities, bonds, futures, contracts, etc). Much like the Airbnb and uber scenario the entrenched interests will lobby to maintain the status quo but ultimately the value derived from frictionless organization is too valuable to keep monopolized by those with opposing interests of the public.

Proper threading and down votes introduces self regulating mechanism. It won't increase the quality on poor videos, but will help distil usefulness in niche videos.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, but this is a very good point.

Companies like the National Multifamily Housing Council, National Apartment Association, National Association of Regional Property Managers, and various Realtor affiliated groups spend tens of millions of dollars each year lobbying to pass legislation that makes it incredibly difficult for non-property-owners and non-agents/brokers to do anything involving managing other people's property in many states.

Legitimately curious to know how Airbnb plans to get around this in the US (and several other countries with similar laws).

From the article, they're starting this as a pilot in Japan (and not sure about the laws there), so maybe the short-term only involves more loosely regulated housing markets.

I think you maybe misunderstand the point of this web site.

The designer has no interest in selling all or even most of the logos at the sort of market rate they could actually command. The website is much more useful as a portfolio/marketing tool than as an actual logo store. What the designer wants is for the price to rise high enough to prove that he can sell logos and to set expectations for clients who want custom work, while also guaranteeing that most of the logos go unsold thus keeping his portfolio active and engaging.

If the price went down with each logo sold, he might never even get that first sale, and if he did, there would eventually be a snowball effect which would lead to everything selling out, and his no longer having such a neat attention-getting portfolio.

Yeah, I have experienced that as well and I get your point, that's mainly why we have created a whole structure and registered an organization, even if we can never predict what will happen next we can always do our best to get the odds in our favour.

That exactly what this is. Person A goes to school, takes out loans, diligently pays them back. Person B does the exact same thing, but gets his/her loans forgiven.

It's more like "You get what you pay for if you're careful."

There's a cd in the tray, but we don't know who put it there. Maybe if you're logged in on a specific terminal?

I could contrive some scenarios where it would be undesirable though: Maybe if there's a rewritable (or not finalized write once) disc also in the system for something important? Let's say, a diskless system without pxe support, so it boots from a cd drive, but doesn't mount it. An unauthorized user with access to the burner could disrupt the next boot.
You seem to be suggesting that something unfree is going on here, but in this case there is no evidence for any of the candidate causes that you list. The reality is that the tendency towards commodity pricing is only a tendency, with a highly situation-dependent lag and inertia, even in the absence of more direct restrictions on competition.

As opposed to what other kinds of rice? As far as I know, brown rice is not any worse or better for you, despite popular belief. It's like the difference between HFCS and table sugar. There's a technical difference (e.g. a little more hull with brown rice, or 5% more fructose with HFCS) but it's not really significant in the context of a normal diet.

If you mean different types of wild rice, okay, maybe. But I don't think wild rice was ever a staple in Asia. At least, not in the past few millennia.

Diabetes is likely rising for the same reason it's rising in every other wealthy region.

The coming economic revolution based around data
"Mr. Burt, the mayor, caught many off guard in May when he said that he believed the zoning code says software companies aren’t allowed in the downtown. In recent weeks, he said he wants to update that code, allowing for software but restricting companies from taking large swaths of space, like Palantir and Amazon have done, together occupying hundreds of thousands of square feet."

As a young person who has moved to Palo Alto to work at a "software company" I find this sentiment very frustrating.
Kind of. The NFL does not release the drugs that players are testing positive for. Test positive for Adderall and it's the same as testing positive for Winstrol. Players are incentivized to take Winstrol (or other AAS), and if they test positive, they just come out and say it was Adderall without a use exception (TUE).

Since the NFL won't publicly rebut their arguments, NFL players are free to lie and make up ADHD diagnoses.

Apologies if you were saying this, but some people (including commenters to that article) are confused.
There was also a converse experiment: a population of dogs was un-domesticated by breeding for a strong wild response. I don't have the exact reference, but recollect that the process also took a remarkably low number of generations.

The common saying is "more data usually beats a better algorithm". However, this is only for short term progress. Long term progress in the field of AI clearly requires better algorithms, and doing more with less data is exactly the kind of problem that a startup in the field could solve with a clever idea.

That said, these startups will have to be extremely research heavy — how does one draw the most talented researchers to work for a small group of people with minimal pay over working for a large company with a high salary and all the computational resources you might need? And what kind of product could theoretical research produce in the short term that would keep a startup afloat long enough to come up with ground breaking ideas?
But you could have gotten it done much faster by paying more...

>There are few asset classes that have outperformed super-prime real estate in the last 60 years. Consider that the median home in Palo Alto sold for less than $20,000 in 1956, versus $2.5 million today — an appreciation rate of 12,500%. Compare that to an approximate 5000% return for the S&P 500 over the same period (much higher with dividend reinvestment, but you’d need to pay taxes on said dividends, making this calculation challenging).

Normally when you're comparing asset classes you don't compare the average of one class to the absolute best possible case in the other. The last fifteen years have been, IMO, a bubble-fueled aberration, and places like Palo Alto are ground zero for that bubble. I'll bet the S&P 500 compares much more favorably to average real estate appreciation over the same time period. Also, why the 60 year time frame, as opposed to, say, 50 or 100?

If the idea is to put people in houses we should do what the Koreans do. They have a contract type called "jeonse", or "key money". It's kind of an intermediate between renting and owning - essentially you give the owner a large lump sum (but not enough to buy the property) for two years. You don't pay rent, and you get all your money back at the end of the contract.

You benefit by getting a place to live without paying rent. The owner benefits by having the use of your money for two years (which he may be using, along with his own money, to buy the place).

It's easier to go rent-->jeonse-->buy than rent-->buy. I'm not really sure why we don't have something like this in the US already, particularly when you can't get a decent return on your savings.
Those lobbies make it hard for anybody who isn't licensed to do provide any services related to real estate.

I didn't see the part about piloting this in Japan, partly because I'm on my phone and the linked article has a terrible layout on my browser. I don't know what laws govern this sort of thing there, so my comment about skirting the law doesn't necessarily apply there.
I can't believe David Schomer's name hasn't come up yet, and only a passing reference to his shop Espresso Vivace.

ftfa:
> Only recently, some aspects of the Physics and Chemistry behind the espresso coffee foam have attracted the attention of scientists.

Leaving the weasel-words aside, David at least initiated work on creama (and much more) in 1990s w/ his work, recorded in Espresso Coffee: Professional Techniques[0] c. 1996.

He is camped firmly in the space he helped define in the 90s, and doesn't appear to be going away. He's (in)famous for touring the other shops in Seattle and trying their coffee (espresso), and leaving the cups barely touched, muttering of "lemon defects". After 20 years parked where he is stylistically, he's not getting the attention of people looking for 'new hotness', but if you're for a coffee with its roots in taking measurements, iterating, iterating, iterating and sticking w/ principles at the expense of current fashion, Espresso Vivace is worth a trip. I prefer the "cart" which is a literal hole in the wall beside Chase Bank on Broadway[1].

I'm not a "fan" of many things, and his coffee isn't always my favourite, but seeing no mention of him yet strikes me as absurd.

pre-edit: scanning TFA has me scratching my head even more -- referring to the grounds as "powder" is just wrong. If you're going to bother to fuss this hard over coffee and technique, pedantry here is required.

edit: more links, date clarification

Actually we need better moderation powers when trolls start to fight on our video comments. Some stuff gets offensive with racist, bigoted, and homophobic slurs and other things. It is just not something I'd like to have under my Videos, but when a video gets popular it attracts more people to comment on it and sometimes they are trolls. I think those slurs should trigger some sort of moderation to hide them until they are approved or deleted, like posting multiple links might be spam, etc.

It's more than that though. "Citrus" was a flavor that roasters were trying to bring out, which is fine (and interesting). However, what happened with hoppiness in IPAs happened with acidity in American espresso. As roasters' palates got accustomed to a particular roast, they needed to keep going further in that direction to create a similar flavor. Thus, escalating acidity, and the rise of the sour bombs in 2011 or so. I feel like things have tapered off a bit in the past couple years (at least on the East coast).
