I get what you're trying to say but I just want to point out that reality still probably hits harder when life was always hard.

Growing up with nothing into an adulthood with no support network and few prospects, where our society blames you for being in that situation, is a harder draw than being taken care of until you're halfway through college then having to find your own way.
The main problem here is attribution - and with many ad platforms pushing the 'viewthrough conversion' metric, it becomes very messy when hundreds of millions of users start getting tagged as having 'viewed' a video too easily. Future purchases can then be tied back to that 'view', even if it was insignificant in the buying process.

This is where as an advertiser I would be very interested in the distribution of view lengths, to better understand the user's engagement and likelihood that the video made any impact on their behaviours at all.

Although being totally honest, you can't rule out the impact of even a passive 3 second peripheral glimpse of brand video content. Most traditional advertising - TV and outdoor, for example - is not actively viewed, but rather passively 'seen'.

Ultimately it comes back to being pragmatic in the way you assess advertising effectiveness - the promise of digital is perfect ROI analysis and measurement, but the reality is far trickier.
The setup process for other platforms is a bit more involved though. It's not as straightforward as PHP (which is just choosing an Apache site type) or MariaDB/MySQL (which can be setup in a couple of clicks on the site).

There is a Django setup guide on the blog [1] that could be looked at for the process to setup things like Rails, PostgreSQL and a few other things.

There are probably a good dozen very promising and radically different approaches I've read about in recent years, from compressed air storage, to liquid metal, to MXene clay, to salt water, to 'carbon enhanced anodes' in a tweaked lead acid battery, and many more...

In late 2013, it looked like we were on the cusp of finally breaking through the cost per kWh barrier in a matter of months, and I got so excited I started a business built around the anticipation of just one of these things panning out. Then? Crickets. One company I invested in is now a penny stock, and just announced a product which costs twice as much as the Powerwall for the same storage (oh, and it's probably worse in about every other way, too). I might cry if I had any tears left to shed over this.

To be honest, I've started to wonder if any breakthroughs that may have happened in this field are being suppressed for some kind of political reason(s). You would think that couldn't go on indefinitely, though.
Truth, Transparency, and Trust: Establishing Our Connection
That works for impulse buys online I expect; doesn't seem useful beyond that. If you're running a one day festival you can have fantastic ad response - but if it rains the visitor figures are rubbish.

That's when you rely on metrics like bounce/view period to decide if your advertising worked.

Which prompts the leering, misinformed troglodyte to consider the error of his ways, to "imagine the possibilities". Ahh, man.

Having used GIMP and Photoshop, the practical point of GIMP development, in my view, is to provide a baseline for other graphic editing software: i.e., your product's quality cannot drop below what GIMP offers.

It's possible, and it works. Read the topvoted comment there and follow its links.
Nullable types are fine. The key is to make them explicitly nullable, so that programmers are allowed to use non-nullable types as well.

Both need to be permitted. Ideally by way of sum types, but Kotlin's approach should be okay.

Ah, fair enough, my misunderstanding. As for your points about people misunderstanding costs, I've no doubt it happens sometimes.
I use GIMP exclusively. Last time it allowed me to turn SVG animation into GIF. It literally took few seconds to complete. Many people bitch about GIMP, but like in arcticle, they just trying to hide their laziness to learn new things. I've nothing against them, but one thing, most of them in my circles are using pirate copy of Photoshop instead free GIMP. Some of them arguing about RBG/CMYK missing in GIMP, but most of them does not even know that.
Not necessarily. The article mentions phones being paired with iTunes - I assume this involves entering the passcode on the phone (haven't used iTunes for my phone in years, so I'm not entirely sure, but by my understanding of the iOS security architecture, it wouldn't be possible otherwise). This probably results in some sort of authentication token that iTunes stores and uses to get the device to perform backups. So yes, there's a command to extract data, but it's not unauthenticated or anything like that.
... if there's only one advertiser you can buy placements from!!

Or indeed if all advertisers are using the same misleading metric.
To a certain extent, this comes from historically creating safety-critical software which is an entirely different process compared to what is done for web apps etc. I don't think Tesla are as robust with their development processes, but they are able to make up for it with over-the-air updates.
I wonder if one of the problems is that the focus is too much on costs.

What I see all the time in IT security that for many people doing security means spending lots of money on products with highly questionable promises. It's very doubtful that many of the security appliances you can see at RSA or Black Hat do any good, in many cases they add additional risks. But the industry is selling a story that the more boxes you buy and put in front of your network the better.

For a lot of companies there are very cheap things they could do to improve their security. This starts with such simple things as documenting on the webpage who outside security researchers should contact if they think they found an issue in the companies infrastructure.

So I have quite some doubts that the formula "spending more on security == better security" holds.

I still ask the question, why use default GPS coordinates? Even after moving the default to a nearby lake, there's still a large chance that police and investigators are going to prowl around the lake trying to find whoever's house lays claim to the center of the lake. Why not have defaults return invalid or perhaps a square box instead of a point? Moving the point around isn't going to fix the root of the problem.
Well in my experience as I mentioned in another comment is regular users with no AV solution will get infected almost 100% of the time in a short period of time. The same users with a good AV product I usually don't have to deal with them again. I have no idea how anyone couldn't agree AV solutions have a use.

I didn't put any words into your mouth but was just pointing out better things to do to reduce your attack surface than not installing AV. Java is dead and I can't recall any site needed to use in years that requires it. Flash doesn't need to be installed standalone at all anymore and shouldn't be. When a site requires Flash I fire up Chrome which has Flash built-in and is of course way more secure.

AV does have limited use for advanced users... I have gone back and forth between having a 3rd-party AV solution installed over the years. I have a high end PC and the product I use has little impact resource wise so why thinking is why not?
Teen Hacker Faces Federal Charges (1998)
There's an excellent book published by No Starch Press that's full of ways to use GIMP. It's excellent because it is as comprehensive as the older Adobe Photoshop books that people used to buy.
So there is no possible way that the issues could be related.

It's only that stupid social justice that makes people talk about demographics and socio economics as we all know. There is no other reason to look into it...
I'm positive it can make its creators filthy rich with the special journalist subscription that offers automatically generated dramatized versions of the research updates. In the dramatized version, every researcher becomes either a child prodigy, a person struggling with social issues, or Elon Musk; every research is a serendipitous breakthrough and destined to save the world at least once; all the while meeting a strong opposition from the established corporations, governments, and other wrong-doers.

But seriously, I'd subscribe to such a service, just out of curiosity if nothing else.

"This approach removes the GUI layer from TDD and unit testing. It does not mean the GUI is never tested but just acknowledges that it is not cost effective to pursue automated GUI testing, particularly as part of TDD. Integration and user testing should cover the GUI."

Hence, not tested at all via TDD.

Hanjin has max 13.000 TEU vessels. That's maybe 8000 containers. One crane can unload at around 30 containers per hour. You might be able to use 6 cranes on such a vessel. It works out to 45 hours to unload such a vessel if completely full. I might be off a bit in some of the calculations, but 12 vs 45 hours is quite a big difference.

There's various physical limitations. You cannot have too many cranes working on a vessel (need to have space between cranes). Further, most cranes aren't that quick. Depending on a region you might hit 45 containers per hour, but that's pretty high (usually only seen in Asia).
There's a cultural difference among traditional automakers in which new innovations are withheld from being released as they are not required to maintain a competitive position. This is very different from the attitude in the Valley/startups in which there appears to be a genuine desire to advance innovation of mankind.
I came from a well-to-do family and well... my parents pushed me to go into medicine/finance/science, partially because they perceived those industries as making a lot of money and for the prestige. Science might not be as lucrative as finance/medicine, but in my circles, people certainly respect an intellectual scientist more than they do a lowly designer (me!).

I went into tech as a designer before the wave hit largely because I love computers and the digital medium. They opposed it because of the uncertainty of the industry ("How do you make money as a designer?") but supported me financially while I went through college. Long story short I was able to help make a lucrative company in SV.

I guess to answer your question, I very well could've gone into science because of my parents and well, the prestige.
The Bering Strait is only 53 miles/85 km wide, and the native peoples of Alaska and Siberia routinely crossed it in their indigenous boats (and over the ice, in winter).

Also, there are plenty of plant foods available at the latitude of the Bering Strait.

That doesn't really say anything one way or another about the premise of this article, but it's simply not true that a land bridge was required.
Like most situations, you will get the wrong answer until you find the right way to ask the question. If the goal is to maximize time spent, then what you have to do is learn how your body works. And your body works in a certain way, you just have to comply. If you fight it, you will get worse results. I'm saying all this because from the question one might believe that you can -choose- your routine. What I've found is that you have to discover it, you have to discover how your body works.

Eat.

Go outside.

Eat, before 18:00 ideally, before 19:00 in practice. Food will keep you awake during the night and you won't be able to wake up with the Sun!

Sleep (~23:00, ~8 hours). You have to choose your bed time depending on when the Sun rises.

You have the gist right but a couple of corrections:

1) The board doesn't set the price arbitrarily. They engage a 3rd party accounting firm to do a 409A evaluation of the company. The 3rd party essentially sets the price. It's true that determining a market price for private company stock is just as much art as science but it's not completely arbitrary.

2) The company ABSOLUTELY CANNOT offer stock options at a discount to the 409A. There is a good chance people would go to jail these days if they did that.

3) The discount that you are talking about is the discount from preferred stock (which investors generally hold) and common stock (which employees generally hold). Preferred stock is legitimately more valuable because of various privileges attached to it that are not attached to common.

4) If you immediately exercise your stock upon granting you won't face an "exercise tax" interaction because the price at which you exercise will be the same as your strike price. If you can afford it this, is often a good idea. You have to file some paperwork with the IRS called an 83B to do this right.

5) It's when you wait some period of time that you can face an exercise tax. This is because over time the company will do additional 409As and if the company is succeeding those will indicate that common stock has risen in value. It's that difference that you might have to pay taxes on. It's this tax that this bill aims to let you defer.
You can use the separate plugin to convert RBG to CMYK in GIMP. Not as good as Photoshop obviously, but I've made print ready images with it.
Not often.

But making it costlier to participate only makes the proposition riskier or fiscally unfeisable.

That hurts employees.

Startups are useful in that they trade off innovation for risk - a handful of startups make huge impacts and grow into successful companies.

People know that when they sign up to work for a startup - finding out they can't realize the upside potential is the surprise.

It's also a decent, free and Free product in its own right, even if flawed. Just being Free makes it better than Photoshop for me. Calling it the "baseline" is pretty dismissive. It's better than Photoshop in some aspects.

Even if it was the baseline, here's the point of GIMP development: to make it a truly great alternative to Photoshop and similar proprietary tools. Even if you never quite achieve it, even if the target keeps moving, it's reason enough for continuing development.
I think it reflects the reality of what people apparently consider great: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_inventors

Though, admittedly after Edison, Carver, Whitney, Franklin, Moorse, I ran out of people I consider "famous" inventors, so the list doesn't really impact me. I do question their inclusions for some inventors though...as quite a few were not born in the US, and only came to the US later on, but that's my own hang up)

I also suggest that this is a prepared result and not a search result so I don't hold it to the same scrutiny. I treat it the same as an advertisement.
> For that matter we should get rid of the AMT entirely. The fact that we have 2 separate tax systems for individuals is insane.

It really is. The AMT is the perfect example of when you give someone an inch they take a mile, which is why some people fight so hard against the enactment of new taxes.

The AMT was originally enacted to catch a handful (less than 200 I believe) people who were at the time of enactment (1969) very rich and who were paying no taxes. These people had an AGI of over $200,000. That's $1.2 million in today's dollars. The AMT now affects over three million tax payers, mostly because for many years, the exemption was not properly indexed to inflation.

It wasn't anti-science, but you should generally be cautious every time someone makes a sweeping claim. There's been a lot of stories here about science journal bias, poor research, and bad studies. Science is not a synonym for accuracy or truth.
Ok, what am I not understanding here?

If they are only counting a view as over 3 seconds. And then only averaging the those views what is the problem? They tell me 1000 people viewed it (over 3 seconds), and then say the average view time was 10 seconds for those 1000 users. How is this an issue? Why do I care that 9,000 people scrolled past it and weren't counted in the viewer numbers? Now if they were reporting this as 10,000 viewers and saying 10 second average, I see the problem. Is that what was happening? Or what am I missing?
Intent matters. The intent was to send a group of dangerous and heavily armed men in to detain an innocent person. That's aggravated kidnapping.

In common law, if somebody is killed in the commission of a violent felony even if the death was unplanned, it's "felony murder". In most of the USA, "felony murder" is first-degree murder.

As I write this, there are just a small number of comments, all saying "there's no money in research" and "scientists are paid less than McDonald's burger flipper". It's like a whole section of disgruntled grad students who wanted to be professors. There is tons of money in science! People who "fail out" of or never wanted to pursue the stupid academic dream become active in patent law, become managers at pharma and biomed companies, oversee quality control at chemical firms, write documentation for medical devices, run labs, work as lab techs. These are all good jobs compared to the jobs the majority of Americans are qualified for.

Seems like HN has a very warped view, this view that "there's no money in research" means some poor kid is better off flipping burgers into her 50s than becoming a lab manager.
I think as developers we are so used to pain that we forget how "easy" development can be if we allow people the right tools.

If any language had the tooling and development Java did it would hold the market share. It's my opinion that if Rust makes a similar IDE experience (even just using Eclipse's platform) with every feature like code completion, formatting, debugging, the hole 9 yards and integrate Cargo into it they'll win. But, here's the caveat: It needs to be FLAWLESS integration.

I've been a java developer for my entire programming career. Java was my first language when I was 12 and I'm 19 now. I still can't use javac without looking at a compiler guide since I never use it. Eclipse does the business and I don't ever even need to think about what's going on outside my code. Not once.

I would say this is actually not something very specific to China or East Asia. People actually act like this all around the world, this is especially true in the US, where connections and background are important for a variety of things (even more so than in China), quid pro quo is a commonality, and interest coalitions are unbreakable and control everything. This is just how the human society work more or less at the current moment.
True, but is it the IRS' fault if the corporation refuses to create a market for their shares? If the IRS didn't tax these shares, it would quickly become a tax shelter of epic proportions, no?
It will be interesting to see how they fix it, I'd guess it would have to be an iTunes and iOS fix because if it's only iTunes there is nothing stopping me from using an older version of iTunes to get a backup. You would need an iOS bump to force the user to upgrade to the newer iTunes before it would allow it backup.
