I initially cringed when I saw this, so I went to go download my transactions from coinbase. I realized after looking through them that some of my BTC outbound transfers were to btc-e, and some of those were to cryptsy. So, considering cryptsy kicked the bucket with much of my coin, and I can't get their records...now what? Those outbound transfers are financial losses, and in the grand scheme I lost money due to Cryptsy; but will the IRS settle for that?

The first article presented evidence that Uber is a fundamentally unprofitable enterprise, with negative 140% profit margins and incurring larger operating losses than any previous startup. Uber’s ability to capture customers and drivers from incumbent operators is entirely due to $2 billion in annual subsidies, funded out of the $13 billion its investors have provided. That P&L evidence shows that Uber did not achieve any meaningful margin improvement between 2013 and 2015 while the limited margin improvements achieved in 2016 can be entirely explained by Uber imposed cutbacks to driver compensation.

Thus there is no basis for assuming Uber is on the same rapid, scale economy driven path to profitability that some digitally-based startups achieved. In fact, Uber would require one of the greatest profit improvements in history just to achieve breakeven.

You should be able to edit text in a familiar manner regardless of what kind of text it is. It might be source code, or it might be an email, a webpage, a document, your shell, a debugger, or anything else you can think of. No matter what you're editing you'll have the same features, keyboard shortcuts, etc available.

A programmer who wants a good universal text editor will find one that also has good integration with their compiler and debugger; emacs and vim are both pretty good choices there.

Pretty hairy is an understatement.

I recently got one of the [Nokia classic phones][1] and frankly, it's such a breath of fresh air. I know, I know, I'm being nostalgic and it can't possibly replace my iPhone but it does do several things much more efficiently.

I can load an SD card with lots of podcasts and music and have a player that'll last an entire week. If I have a new file, I can load it on via Bluetooth in the morning before I leave for work. Sure it's not that fast, but for just one 10-minute MP3 at 192 kbps, it's okay.

I have my work iPhone if I need 4G on the go, but when I want to disconnect a little, it's perfect!

Well done Nokia/Microsoft for keeping these phones alive. And for shipping them with Snake preinstalled ;)

I didn't say it involved math. I said it involved mathematical thinking.

You may have bodged together the relevant concepts by experience. That works perfectly fine. But there is a faster way to learn and teach it... if you can get people past the idea that there's some sort of virtue in bragging (for lack of a better word) about how math has nothing to do with programming and how little they know about the mathematics involved in programming. It's all way easier if you start with the concept of an isomorphism and learn how to compose them from the beginning, rather than having to rewrite the same concepts in your code over and over again without realizing it.

I'm not the parent, but I'm in the market for a new fitness based smartwatch to use with an Android phone. To date, I've had

- MS Band and MS Band 2:

+ HRM, GPS, Always-connected Bluetooth usable for Android Smart Unlock. Decent Web interface for fitness tracking. Syncing more-or-less works. Build-in sleep tracking. Decent screen.

- Mediocre battery life (24-36 hrs). Touch-to-see screen (or < 24hrs battery life with always-on setting). Is now abandoned. No music storage on watch, so I need to carry my phone.

- Moto360 sport

+ HRM, GPS. Android Wear always connected, so Android Smart Unlock works. Music on watch, so I can run w/o phone. Always on screen.

- Horrendous battery life (12-18hrs), MotoBody is a dumpster fire. There is no web interface, and the calorie tracking is inconsistent. I can do the same 6 mile run in the same time with the same average heart rate, and one day it will say I've burned 350 Kcal and the next day it will say 1100Kcal. And Google Fit is even worse. There is effectively no sleep tracking, since the battery will be dead by the end of the day.

I've ruled out the fitbits because they do some funky bluetooth thing which is not usable for Android Smart Unlock, and because they don't offer a model with HRM, GPS and BT Music playback (AFAICT). Even if I could forgive that, my wife has a Charge HR, and she has horrible issues with sync.

I was thinking about a Pebble Core + Pebble Time 2. The core would be an added device to carry in order to get GPS and music, but it is at least smaller than my Nexus 6p. I wonder what will happen with the core now that they've been acquired.

I was also thinking about the Polar M600. But the Moto360 has scared me off a bit from AndroidWear, so I've been waiting for my Band2 to die.

This is a very interesting article - thanks for some actual reporting.

Note: Uber could be in violation of NAFTA and many other trade deals - as they maybe 'dumping' a product (in this case a service) on other markets, massively unprofitably, in order to put competitors out of business, after which they will ostensibly reap monopoly profits.

I'm still not quite sold on Uber, I think there is some interesting value here ... but there are some dubious issues.

If Uber falls it will be painful for other entrepreneurs - they are definitely keeping some 'animal spirits' going among investors. A lot of institutional money is in Uber, if they pull out of other things ... well valuations will get harder for companies looking for bigger C and D rounds for sure :)

They definitely are for most customers: it is extremely expensive to gather and label enough data for a deep learning model to work correctly. It's very unlikely that you'll manage to configure and train your models + generate input data that Google lacks to make your model work much better than what Google already provide with their "generalist" API.
You deleted far more than just fuels. "Hydrocarbon gas liquids", "Still gas", "Special napthas", and "Kerosene" include significant non-fuel uses. Those bring the total as high as 3.390, though it is impossible to determine from that chart how much is fuel use.

Also, keep in mind that some fuel uses, such as welding/soldering gasses, don't have an effective replacement at this time. Cutting fuel use to 0 at this juncture is effectively impossible.

I can't help thinking that this company thinks the Nokia brand still has way more pull and cachet than it actually does. I could be wrong, but I don't think slapping Nokia on an otherwise bog standard OEM Android device is likely to win over many hearts and minds.

Yes it's god's will and a punishment for gay marriage. /s

Right here. You're using sarcasm, which is a form of ridicule or mockery, and it's dismissive. If you were having a face-to-face conversation with someone who held these beliefs, would you say this in this way? I would hope not, because it would be impolite to do so.

Also, how would you express this without being snide or snarky? I tried, but had a hard time coming up with something that was fair. In this thread, that's your first comment, and the first one that alludes to conservative Christian beliefs as a reason people don't act to protect the environment (or something, as the more I try to figure out exactly what you're trying to imply by just that statement in the context of this conversation, the more trouble I have).

Let me try, though. Given you've said very little, I'm fully aware I'm making a lot of assumptions which could very well be wrong, so feel free to correct me. That's also part of the point. By saying so little, you're forcing people to make assumptions of what you mean or imply. This is particularly problematic in online discussions on contentious topics where people are less likely to interpret you charitably, sometimes even without intending to.

People who deny climate change and don't care about the environment are Christians who interpret the Bible literally and blame hurricanes and earthquakes on gay marriage.

Is that a fair rephrasing of what you meant with your first comment? I've taken some of it from what you've said in your subsequent explanations. I'm aiming to be fair and accurate, so if I'm not, please correct me.

Generalizing all who deny climate change in this way is unfair and attributes beliefs to them that many (most?) don't have. There are a lot of people who deny climate change for a variety of reasons. There are also a lot of Christians who care deeply about the environment and believe that climate change is something we need to address as stewards of God's creation. There are also Christians who are not opposed to gay marriage, and many more who don't believe hurricanes and earthquakes are caused by it. If you don't mean to make such sweeping generalizations in your first comment (or even your subsequent ones, frankly), you're not being very nuanced in your statements. The percentage of people who hold the beliefs you describe I suspect is a significant minority.

If at this point you honestly don't see how your comment isn't civil or constructive (or at the very least is likely to be construed as impolite), I don't think anything more I can say will make a difference (which is on me), and more likely make you think I'm being vindictive or needlessly argumentative (which if I continue the discussion, I would be). Be well.

That they have the webcam and microphone is not 'creepy'.

They just want you to be able to take a test remotely without cheaters.

If this were a regular website, sure, but it's for a specific reason, during a specific event, that ultimately you are participating in.

If you were to go and 'take an exam' on Amazon campus - they'd be doing the same thing - but a human proctor would be looking for the same things :)

I think the contextualization of it (i.e. it's 'your home') definitely seems 'creepy' - but I don't think it's a cause for concern - there's a reason they are doing it, it's not nefarious, they are open about it.

Again - it may feel a little creep-show because we're not used to this, or rather, in any other situation it would be truly creepy ... but I don't think there is cause for concern here.

I also think that the logical questions are not unreasonable.

OK -- Tannenbaum's "station wagon full of tapes" updated for the 21st century.
I think the NBA is by far the most forward-thinking of the four major pro sports and NCAA. They did just sign a pretty massive cable package that in effect for the next nine years and slow progress with streaming, but they are also heavily invested in finding new revenue streams to help replace what will likely be lost one day with these cable deals.

It will be interesting to see how the financials of that work as cable keeps bleeding customers. I think the entire situation will be a mess as long as these long-term contracts are in place. ESPN has rights to stream their NBA games digitally but you can't stream those ESPN games through NBA League Pass digital, nor does NBA League Pass allow you to your local team because that would interfere with local television rights.

As long as you have all these different rights packages in place, it will handcuff the league from producing something centrally that appeals to the most people. However, that type of service is also less likely to bring in the money that ESPN and Turner and the local sports channels are bringing to teams, so what's happening is in the best financial interest of the league, at least in the short term.

Did you lost yourself into the huge amount of political information during election campaigns ?

What I find most fascinating is that we look to others to change principally before ourselves. Invariably when there is terrible news such as this, people will discuss the 'deniers' etc.

But the deniers aren't the most pernicious. Those who know perfectly well what they are doing is hurting the planet but do nothing about it are the most pernicious (aka - me). I know what I do is bad, but how do I not do it?

I live in New York City. Take public transportation everyday and probably consume less plastic goods than the average (my household is about 1000 sq. ft and therefore requires less chemicals to clean, less furniture to fill with etc).

A friend from San Francisco said to me "I view NYC as a giant pile of trash." And I can see her point, it's out on the street and in clear daylight. She's right. But just because San Francisco hides its trash better doesn't mean it doesn't make any.

So though I can argue that I pollute less on a per capita basis, I still do. What should I do?
