It's an interactive Game of Thrones map. It shows you where everyone is at a given time. You select who you want to track, drag through time and the character path trails show up on the map. The interface is genius, best I've seen for messing around with (thing, place, time) triples.

Evernote supports XML and HTML export. I have mine on external drive and in Dropbox. Migrating to a new platform would be horrible, but at least the data's there.
I have it on good sources that they dropped anonymity not because of harassment, but because of the history of anonymous apps fizzling out. Anonymous apps generally fail to generate sustainable, long-term growth.
What do you mean by true success? The more of an ecosystem you can provide for the more competitive you can potentially be. If Ford and Toyota owned or control enough oil, like say certain countries do, and they would sell that oil cheaper to you if you owned a Ford or Toyota - and yes, they could potentially be more successful.
Doing something like a PhD is a great place to find other people who might be interested in co-founding a startup!

NB That's what I did after ~5 years in academic research at a UK university and never really regretted not finishing by PhD as I had no intention of going back into research.

I've been using Macs for years, and these are some pretty amazing problems you've had, I can't imagine ever experiencing them. You've had some bad luck, friend. Sorry to hear it.

In all my years using Macs, I've never had any of these, and I push my machines quite hard. They've always kept up like a pro, always reliable.
I got tired reading this, but had gotten too far not to finish.
That works the same for both sides. Many people I know would never use an iPhone. Most people in the world don't use iPhones.
>That being said, probably not a good idea to become responsible for other people before you've got your own life figured out.

That seems rather offensive and narrow-minded. Sometimes life has its surprises that weren't expected. Life can also throw us curveballs. One day you might feel like everything is going well but then something changes. I'm sure some of the 300 or so people at Twitter who are about to lose their jobs probably thought they had things figured out.
I think the key is to get past the "mediocre/o.k." skill level .

The problem with going deep is picking the right discipline. Since you may pick wrong initially, going broad first allows a chance to pivot to a different skill to go deep on.

The first skill is the ability to learn in a fast organized manner.
Outside of any other information, it does imply that.
Attacks Against the Architecture
Absolutely. So when I'm looking at a product, one of the things I ask myself is, "does this company have a history of releasing immature products, or dropping support for their products quickly?" Obviously it can't be foolproof, but if either of those is a company's general MO, then it's more likely to happen to a new product of theirs, than a company which rarely does that.

Beyerdynamic DT-1770. But I had a good DAC and my old head amp already, so it was an obvious choice. If you're missing these, I'd go with Shure SRH-1540 for lower impedance.
I think the moral of the story is that no single piece of financial advice is likely to apply to everyone.

For most people 100k before putting anything into your 401k is overkill, but for someone who wants to buy a house in SF it probably isn't.

I just recently left Morocco after spending some weeks there with a group of travellers. The high incidence of catfishing on Tinder was a bit surprising to us. I wonder if it's a related branch of the sextortion trade.
I'm guessing this is a bit of misdirection. Outright discounts on the purchase price probably were rare and not supposed to happen, as he says. However, from what I've seen from new buyers in that period, it was nearly universal for Tesla to waive the $1,200 "destination fee," which is effectively a $1,200 discount on the purchase price. They also have a referral program going which gets you $1,000 off, although that's been going for something like a year now and isn't new for Q3. That's a $2,200 total discount on many vehicles, which isn't a whole lot on a car that starts at $66,000, but it's something.

Side note: Gravity is such a great movie. I love it's simplicity. It's a monster movie with (essentially) 2 characters and the setting is the monster. Then brings this incredibly simple vision to life without feeling sparse or experimental.

This even extends to the title:tagline as you mention. Four words, "Gravity: Don't let go", efficiently conveys the whole tone of the film.

This is moronic click-bait. If you're a wage slave, take the extra 5% from your employer, it's literally free money even if you can't use it. If you have the sums the author is talking about, keep it liquid to play with or whatever he's advising.

If you contribute to a Roth IRA (after tax money, ideal for those under the 25% marginal rate), the contributions can be removed at any time penalty free. It quite literally can be treated as an emergency savings account if you have no other liquid savings available, and insist on investing every available dollar (and is also protected from creditors in almost every state, something a savings accounts is not).
What are some irc channels where freelancers are getting hired?
After the recent fiascos of upwork, first them raising fees to 20%, then lots of disgruntled freelancers who were cheated by shady clients, I just couldn't help but think that a lot of freelancers and tech-savvy hirers might have gone the good old route of irc chat rooms.

So, are you aware of any such channels where freelancers are getting hired by prospective clients?
It was common for Tesla to waive the $1,200 "destination fee," and they also have a referral program going which gets another $1,000 off.

There were also some stories of people getting bigger discounts, like getting the 60kWh to 75kWh battery upgrade at no additional charge. Those were supposedly rare and were not supposed to happen, though.
I just finished up a design with references to NXP documents, blog posts, etc... Time to go through and capture all of that info.
It's likely more than that. Arch generally is viewed as an "extreme" distro, since you have to manually setup everything.

Nothing wrong with that, but generally that's not a linux newbie distro.
What's your point? Everyone knows that very talented artists who produce original work are sometimes very richly rewarded (Jeff Koons comes to mind). But like football, most everyone else is not. This is not exploitation.

FWIW the world is also full of studio musicians who have more musical talent than big name stars but get paid modestly.
The flip side of banks letting people go with ease is (a) higher compensation and (b) the ease with which rivals will hire. The banking job market is extremely liquid (unless you did something naughty).

Usually it's issues with assumptions about the completeness of the platform; e.g. ZeroMQ assumes that if it's on a UNIX-ey platform it should use UNIX sockets rather than TCP and doesn't check to see if it's actually supported.

I'm not very familiar with OSX, but I'd be surprised if there weren't differences between it and mainline Linux that needed special care and I see this as similar.
It's probably good that you missed it. They made a huge improvement in the Autopilot hardware in cars built after October 10th. Tesla says that with software updates, that hardware will be capable of full self-driving.
I ported Caffe models to JavaScript in my free time http://chaosmail.github.io/projects/. however, since I know about Keras.js and it's GPU support, it doesn't seem that fancy anymore.
For me, the problems with Google's latest move to capture more of my data are 1. The value prop to me is minimal compared to the amount of data they are gathering, 2. There is no way to opt out.

1. All of the hardware offerings Google made are subpar copies of other products. They did the minimum viable thing to get your data. Google's Assistant, with all the data and cloud processing power in the world, is equivalent to Siri. Assistant is not a leap forward, just a rebranded OK Google.

I'd had the same feeling in the past about Google's Social efforts. It's more blatant that Google's mining my data when their product offering is just a copy.

Contrast that with Search, Maps and GMail. When those came out, it mattered less that Google was scanning my data because the products were leaps and bounds above the competition.

2. Google has taken over enough of your daily lives with Android, GMail, Search and Maps that it's really hard to opt out.

We've vilified Apple for its closed ecosystem but we ended up with an alternative much worse in Android, one where all of the data you've generated is available for everyone to harvest.
2nd tier at GS is now in Salt Lake City and 3rd tier is Bangalore. They will never move him to New Jersey because they'd sooner move the role to SLC.
For me it's not even about being unix-like (though sounds nice). I would just want them to get rid of all the legacy garbage and start from scratch. They have nice design language, good programming environment, multiple platforms - everything is dandy. The only problem is all the stuff left for compatibility reasons.
in fact companies can cash out and remain private. private placement or selling the company are two big alternatives, and there are others.

> So I'm kind of resigned to not having all that much money left when I'm too old or sick to work. And then I'll probably die. But at least I'll have lived somewhat by then.

That is fine and all if you don't have family (ie kids) but if you do you really should put money away so that you don't become a burden later. Right now my generation and a little older (Gen X-ers) have parents that were slightly irresponsible with money (buying ridiculous houses and double mortgaging etc).... and now when they get sick and old guess who has to pay. One might argue you that is fair but it certainly wasn't the case for the previous generation.

The grandparents (ie greatest generation or whatever they call the war/depression generation) typically saved up.

This is a good thing because wealth takes time to build up. Our country did not become wealthy overnight.

I think its a slur of excuses we tell ourselves. We just don't care all that much.

Way too hard. The internet only exacerbates these issues.
This blog is even a prime example. It's telling you what to think so you don't have to, and it matches the popular bias so its easy to just praise it and move on to the next insta-fad.

Things like switching windows, working with multiple screens, having an overview what's open.

On the system side I love linux. Updating all software with one command is great, but isn't connected to the GUI. In fact, I find the Ubuntu software center so hard to use that I always revert back to the terminal to install/update software. And that's what I meant with my original post. I love the functionality that Linux offers, but for many day-to-day tasks having a GUI can make life easier. And that's where Linux always disappoints me.
I have a fairly fundamentalist view of free speech, so in my opinion the only reasonable standard where censorship would be an acceptable solution to any speech is either:

a) content that violates an individual or entity's privacy; or

b) direct incitement to physical harm to an individual, group or property; or

c) to protect the platform from legal damages or other legal quandaries

Unfortunately, most codes of conduct tend to be structured around public perception, which better serves a business' long-term interests over the "killer feature" of a truly open platform, which is seen by many as more trouble than it is worth, from the perspective of the platform owner.
[disclaimer: I co-founded Mozilla Research, which sponsors Servo]

It's awesome to see the Gecko team continue to tackle big, ambitious projects now that electrolysis is rolling out. And I'm so excited that they're betting big on Servo and Rust. Servo has really been taking advantage of one of Rust's promises: that you can reach for more aggressive parallelism and actually maintain it. I believe recent numbers showed that effectively all of Firefox's users have at least two cores, and about half have at least 4. The more we fully utilize those cores, the smoother we should be able to make the whole web.

Over the last year, all three communities have been laying groundwork to be able to land Rust components in Firefox and share components between Gecko and Servo, and now it looks like that's teed the Gecko team up to commit to making use of some big pieces of Servo in the coming year. Some of the initial builds of Firefox with Stylo that Bobby Holley has showed me look really amazing, and WebRender could be a game-changer.

And the Servo project is just getting warmed up. ;) If you're interested in what they're up to next, check out Jack Moffitt's recent presentation from a browser developer workshop last month:

Sure, for the person performing it. In this case, people were put at risk who had no opportunity to opt out. And just to clarify, the problem isn't the autonomous driving demonstration---it's the lack of a backup in the form of a human driver in a position to take control if something went wrong. That's a shocking level of complacency given the inherent risks of a fully loaded 18-wheeler truck and the immaturity of self-driving technology.
`git checkout my_branch` does something else that is quite different: it changes the current branch!

Also, `git checkout my_branch` is very different from `git checkout my_branch -- .`

I strongly dislike the double duty of `checkout`. It's made worse by the fact that `git checkout my_branch` will never lose uncommitted changes, while as `git checkout files` will.

Check out the New Yorker article[1] about how the series Silicon Valley nails Silicon Valley.
My favourite paragraph:

>Teller ended the meeting by standing up in a huff, but his attempt at a dramatic exit was marred by the fact that he was wearing Rollerblades. He wobbled to the door in silence. “Then there was this awkward moment of him fumbling with his I.D. badge, trying to get the door to open,” Kemper said. “It felt like it lasted an hour. We were all trying not to laugh. Even while it was happening, I knew we were all thinking the same thing: Can we use this?” In the end, the joke was deemed “too hacky to use on the show.”

I'm not sure I know what "isomorphic" means in this context.

For sure, (tail) recursion places a pointer to a function on the stack while a loop is a conditional jump. They're not the same thing. I think the similarity between n-1 and --n is a red herring, here.
I am not directly answering your question but this could be useful:

He's not like Belson's spiritual adviser if that's what you mean. He was just an engineer, but he gave talks about meditation to anyone who wanted to go.

Google employees can give themselves whatever title they like, and give talks (or invite people to come and give talks!) on any subject they like. That's why there's so many weird talks at Google - it just takes one person to agree to it.
There was a personal site by a guy named Rademacher (sp?) that had apartments on craigslist in San Francisco overlayed on google maps. IIRC, it was a solution to a pet peeve that became really popular. He later formed a company with some other GIS-in-the-browser people that quickly got acquhired by some big tech corp.

I totally agree. You can be much smaller than Apple and still win. My point is that Apple's iPhone is a behemoth, and until now, Google's Nexus phones have been a niche product. Now, they're starting to compete more directly with the Pixel, which is a truly high-end phone. But until they get meaningful sales numbers, it's still very much a niche product. I agree with the article that Google has made a phone with the _specs_ to compete. But I've heard this before and yet the iPhone still dominates the high end phone market.
I'm all for it, but only because I'd love to poke around in the google-brain. For the problem of filter bubbles, I don't really see how it would actually help?

I mean, I know Facebook will avoid showing me articles from breitbart, and google knows that 'python' is a mostly a language for me, and not a snake. Both companies have said that, repeatedly. Opening the algorithm would help if there were a secret conspiracy to influence people via search ranking, but nobody is seriously alleging that.
Agreed. Samsung are the ones with Google's target on their back. Until people stop thinking of the two types of phones as Samsung/Galaxy phones (meaning Android) and iPhones, Google can't have their target on Apple.
I feel for these scientists. I understand what they went through- I went through it myself during the run-up of biomedical training in the mid-to-late 90's. After being a PI at a national lab for a few years, trying to get funded against more experienced scientists (some of whom copied my ideas!) I decided to move to industry.

Now I have a job with a well-defined 20% time dedicated to research with effectively no limits on what I can do. I don't need to ask for funding- the resources I need are just expenses I charge against my company's effectively infinite budget. If I want to write a paper, I do- and those papers get cited far more highly than my previous papers, because my employer's name is gold.

My salary is high enough that I maintain a lab in my garage and self-fund most of my experiments.

This path doesn't work for everybody (the number of positions in industry that allow this freedom is limited) but in my experience it allowed me far more time to be a productive researcher than if I had tried to be a professor at a tier-1 university or a researcher at a national lab.

Interestingly, my PhD training (in biomed) turned out to be ideal for being a data scientist, and my personal interests that I pursued during my training turned out to be ideal for working at my firm. In some sense, PhD programs produce the best programmers and researchers in industry, along with teaching a fair amount of how to deal with politics, which is critical in both academia and industry.
Agreed.

I do not understand how anyone reads this article and comes away with the impression it is even remotely correct.

I could barely finish it, it was so poorly written, full of questionable ideas deliberately glossed over, and ideas that just do not add up to the conclusion.
That is pretty mind blowing. Not such a revolutionary idea in the JS space after all.

This is a problem that badly needs to be solved.

The problem that needs solving is to make ad networks and advertisers do a better job, not to transfer the payment model of the internet from companies that want to pay for marketing to users who have comparatively very little money. Approximately $70bn is spent on digital advertising in the US alone. That's hundreds of dollars per person. No payment model that relies on direct payment is going to maintain that sort of funding level, so no one who makes money from adverts is going to accept it.
I'd happily display ads on websites that aren't incredibly obnoxious. I think ad-blockers need to have some sort of ad-policy or vetting system in place that when websites conform to them, I as a user get prompted with the option to turn ads on to support the website.

I'd much rather that than essentially have to pay out money to browse online.
