>4. If Fulfilled, now I have to research how reputable the selling company is. Just yesterday I found a company selling baby formula, whose domain name was registered last month, and via a privacy service!?!!? If you can't list your business address, I'm not buying from you.

Come on, basically every registrar forces private registrations on by default now.

It's very easy to lie in whois data, those that want to conceal their identities will just lie instead of using a proxy service.
I agree that male friendship has suffered a lot over the past few decades, and the decline of overtly exclusively male organisations for adults probably has something to do with that. The only real exceptions I can think of are athletic leagues and religious activities. Basically you can play in a men's soccer league or go to a men's bible study and nobody will think it's odd or sinister, but joining an overtly male only social club will probably be viewed differently. I wonder if the guys in this article would have just joined a local lodge of some kind 50 years ago and been happy with that.
If this turns out to be true, I will not purchase Apple laptops for myself again and I will seriously investigate switching our whole company.
Now that was some well-written prose! I wish I could upvote you ten times.
If it was a quadratic, you could (in effect) complete the square and thereby get it to a form like

a(x - b)^2 + c

At that point, you get the answer by inspection. I.e., in this case, if a is positive, then the function is minimized when x = b, and the minimum value is c.

In lucky cases, fourth-order polynomials could be put in such a form. Odd-degree polynomials will not have a unique maximum.

46% may reasonably be described as close to half, but the details on the support for legal abortion in the poll (both on the page you linked and the additional information from the poll linked from that page) is inconsistent with the idea that "pro-life" identity equates to not supporting legal abortion, as the proportion of the population opposed to legal abortion is much less than half the proportion identifying as "pro-life".
Anyone that hasn't yet, check out Black Mirror on Netflix. It has a lot of ideas in it that I am surprised to see in a show in 2016.

I love Elon Musk but I think he is solving the wrong problem when it comes to making human beings a space faring species. The fragility of human flesh is the barrier to colonizing space. You can try to solve this problem by wrapping it in a contained atmosphere or wait a thousand years and send humans to Mars in a different kind of space ship. One made of metal and silicon that can recharge its batteries so long as it has a line of sight on a distant star.. maybe as the article says: "a robotic body [standing] roughly two millimeters tall"

The greatest challenge we face is keeping this incubator called Earth alive long enough for us to develop the technology to abandon our flesh. But I imagine if that day ever comes what it means to be human will have been destroyed in the end anyways.

They certainly do know how to tow a line or two on the editorial section, but I can't stop reading them for their business journalism. They are number one in that department for a reason.
Having spent the last few years working on the jobs industry/problem, I wish you the best. Most of the major players function on antiquated business models that have carried over from the newspaper days. Measuring success is still done on a pay-per-click basis, which in the scope of hiring really makes no sense. I hope you can move the needle forward!
Do you think it's the product people asking for grey fonts on a light grey background? (What the article is saying).
Usually fraud systems are black boxes to prevent abuse, not because they can't be human readable.

I agree however that to my eye it does usually seem excessively black-box, as it's not like most fraudsters are idiots, they already know what tools are arrayed against them.

Well I believe that if Microsoft had made .NET as they originally were thinking of doing, meaning having .NET Native in 2002 instead of 2016 and not having the internal fights between Windows Dev and DevTools, maybe C++'s role on the desktop wouldn't be what it has turned out to be.

On the Apple side of the fence, C++ was mostly used for IOKit with everything else that wasn't inherited from UNIX, being Java or Obj-C.

Only later on they decided to drop Java, focus on Obj-C and their C++ usage only increased when they decided to sponsor LLVM and move their toolchains to it.

Now we have LLVM as one of the major research compilers available, including for Rust, with all three major desktop companies sponsoring it.

However I think this is probably the area where they will stay, systems programming infrastructure.
The first sentence in Your last statement in your conversation to your daughter is profoundly wrong. Your daughter was not in any way made to better understand fractions by this interaction. By the way, .3333 is a rational number and therefore equal to a fraction.

Old and in the way
I'm not sure how seriously to take your predictions, but although Apple is making some fast and efficient processors these days I think seeing it cross over to their lap/desktop line ups is pretty far out in the future because of software reasons.

It's not like a program made for amd64 processor could just run on an ARM one, so most programs people know and love just wont work. Also, emulating 64/32 bit is a pain and very slow for ARM.

It seems quite possible that Apple is pushing iPad pro for work to get "desktop" programs working well on the chip, but it seems a bit of a ways offs to have those power efficient A chips anywhere outside of mobile...
I won't argue that it might be the best thing about a Mac, but at the same time it isn't a great feature. They get dirty way too often and will lose contact, the size difference between old and new always bites me (my wife has the older size), and I've never seen a time where it saved my laptop (and I have four crazy kids running around and work remotely some).

It has always been unreliable for me. On multiple macbooks and adapters. Sometimes it does not light up at all. Sometimes lights up faintly. No major issues (just detach and re attach) but not as good as the physical grip of a USB port. Maybe I've been unlucky.

Thanks for the reply.

Ironically, we probably have much less interest in 3-D Secure if Radar will now let us deal with the same "sudden spike in dubious sign-ups" problem anyway.

One interesting possibility might be if the kind of rules you allow for Radar could be used to determine whether to apply 3-D Secure if it's available, so we could enable it selectively for countries where people don't already have a zip/postal code to verify for example.

However, for my own small businesses, I suspect we'll be more interested in what Radar can do, particularly to add immediate extra security checks if we are suspicious of a pattern of requests from a certain part of the world.
Google the article title, then click on the google news link. full article bang!
Most merchants don't want a rule engine, or rules. Most merchants want either a declined transaction (possibly with explanation -- possibly), or an accepted one with a guarantee against chargebacks.

If Stripe is sure that their models work, they should offload the chargebacks from the merchants.

A friend of mine worked for a startup that did exactly that. They were sold to an online payments behemoth in about 2009.
I've bought 4 of 5 of these goddamned Magsafe1 to Magsafe2 adapters, and they ALL fail over (a very short amount of) time. Sorta non-sequiter, but god it's terrible.
Sample size of one: I think I understand calculus, the needs of calculus, and how it is profoundly meaning to understanding things around me. Can I do calculus? no. I couldn't do calculus because I really couldn't do algebra. I think that if I had been taught the concept and relevance of calculus earlier, and only had to worry about the execution of calculus later, I would have been much better off.

understanding what derivatives and integrals and trig functions mean should come before we are forced to execute their use, or learn proofs, or even really go beyond basic notation.
Probably the most important thing that literature can do, in my opinion, is transport us into someone else's mind. Even if it isn't necessarily pleasant, it can still be broadening.

I am not using such a definition. I am an American, and I am thinking of American places like Kenyon College, Hamilton College, Harvey Mudd College, Union College, Claremont College, etc., etc.

> Universities are composed of colleges in USA.

This is pretty rare terminology in the US, being mostly found in Ivy league or other old schools. Most "colleges" in the US are independent institutions.

Seconding the Marvin recommendation. If you need an iOS ebook reader, look no further, and you can read Kindle books with it too, after downloading them via a Kindle app and shoveling them through a Calibre-powered format conversion.
I graduated with a mechanical engineering degree, meaning I took 3 semesters worth of Calc and 3 more semesters worth of differential equations. So I'm not one to hate on math or calculus specifically. But I think high schools should focus more on statistics.

Statistics is relevant to more fields than calc. It matters a lot more in business and in all the jobs where you use calc you will also have to use statistics. It's also useful for citizens to understand statistics better - and educating citizens is truly one of the purposes of public education.

>At the blockbuster level, which is where some disruptive action would have to happen before the mass media starts declaring the disruption of film, I don't see any films while skimming over Boxofficemojo [0] that aren't either part of a franchise, anchored by an A-list actor, or based on a property like Marvel or a popular book/toy.

There are some exceptions. Avatar, whatever you think of it as a film, was a blockbuster film with a blockbuster budget. Though, in that case, it was the director who was the A list so maybe that's just an addition to your list.

But, to your basic point, with the amount of money that a blockbuster-type film takes to create, the finance guys are definitely looking for factors that will help bring people into the theaters.
I'm voting with my wallet, as they say. If enough people do the same, perhaps they'll come around after an iteration or two.

This Conversation with My Mother Made Me Rethink Why I Am Building My Startup
Excellent summation and glad you could share your perspective. Like you point out, it genuinely takes money to create a quality product that meets expectations - you know, feels like a good film. I guess that's why it's kind of funny to watch knock-offs / direct-to-VOD like "Transmorphers" and instantly see why "Transformers" cost something like $100,000 per day during some of their more elaborate scenes (outlier I'm sure but I believe that figure / rumor).

The professionals in industries like yours make things look easy, so to speak, in that understanding behind-the-scenes effort and organization is absolutely staggering to witness first hand. I've done some minor level sound work (boom mic) but also drop in on some sets when filming around town, like Fox's cancelled "The Good Guys" and I can really appreciate the intensity and costs associated with such productions.

The internet is a lot like an open mic night, and in this regard, there are some gems to be found, but it's going to take wading through a whole lot of...ugh...
Conversely, I have several adapters permanently attached to chargers and have never had a problem.
I think that a student not well versed in how to perform calculations will not do well with the theory. Last night in the calculus class I am currently teaching a student could not correctly translate the fact that f is increasing where f' > 0. This on a problem where f' was linear. He just stared blankly at the inequality 2x-3>0. Anyone well versed in this sort of calculation is not going to fumble around at this problem. He thinks calculus is the problem when it's his knowledge of algebra that hinders him.

Yeah, the line in the article about demand for calc teachers outstripping the supply suggests an obvious remedy...

Unfortunately, the fragmented (ie, redlined) us public school system means that higher teacher play is impossible in lower income areas. So private schools will pay more for the calculus teachers, and the low income public schools will continue multi-classing pe teachers for the task. And in another twenty years we will continue to lament the increasing lack of social mobility in this country...
this seems like a great idea, i just wonder how it will scale... wont you max out the allowable CC numbers in your BIN?

No, these are light items and the apartment office is less than a minute walk away from my door.

I think the main issue is that there's only one lady staffing the office part-time, so it's sometimes closed when the driver gets there. That's not a problem for the major carriers: their drivers are professionals who know their route and when to be at the office; and if they they're late, they just put the package back on the truck for tomorrow. Amazon probably pays their randos on a piecework basis and they're not incentivized to follow the instructions and return the package to the shipping depot when I'm not at home and the office is closed.

I have communicated the office's hours to Amazon Logistics, and they said they'd enter it into their system, but that has done absolutely no good: the problems persist. A good carrier would have drivers that could read signs and update and retrieve notes from their own systems without requiring customer intervention. Amazon Logistics is not a good carrier.

Edit:
Did some Googling and found this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/amazon/comments/53ybde/amazon_logis...

> Amazon put enormous pressure on drivers, the reason drivers put parcels in recycling bins is due to the fact that we are reprimanded for returning to the depot with parcels. They expect 100percent delivered everytime.

No wonder they suck.
If it's keyboard driven, probably "?" should bring up a modal with a summary of keyboard shortcuts. Many apps (gmail, trello, intercom, twitter, facebook, etc..) do this.

Personally I'm glad to see MagSafe go away if that means I can use charging ports on either sides of the laptop. Sitting on the right side of the bed with the charger connected is a huge hassle when you only have a charging port on the left side.

The cables of Apple's MagSafe charger are also quite crappy, they tend to fray after 2-3 years of use. I hope that gets better with USB-C and if not at least you'll have better third-party chargers available.

Living in VR, and the implications thereof, have been written about in SF for decades. The earliest work is "Simulacron 3", from 1964. It's been done to death in anime. "Sword Art Online" is probably the best known stuck-in-VR anime, but "Log Horizon" deals with the philosophical aspects in more depth. Hanson is not breaking new ground; he's recycling SF as economics.

Read Hanson's list of "wild ideas".[1] "By 2100, the vast majority of "people" will be immortal computers running brain simulations." (And the rest will be keeping the server farms going?) "If we keep writing down common sense datums until 2100, we can make computers as smart as people." (After 30 years of Cyc trying that, that's probably a no.) "If we allowed complete freedom of contract, law could be privatized, to our common benefit." (He's at George Mason University, which is a right-wing think tank, and has to say stuff like that to get tenure.)

Why not cooperation? Competition lets a market — something not known to have human values — decide how you can serve. With cooperation, you work together with other humans and can decide together the best way to serve each other.

Of course, scaling cooperation, and especially decision mechanisms is hard. Markets are great at scaling at least (well, until externalities crop up), but they definitely aren't the only solution! (especially in a world with realtime worldwide computer mediated collaboration systems)
