Disagree. Gate's main point is that the book is not rigorous, but it's based on a peer review literature (just making it accessible to laymen). So while some more technical people might get annoyed at the lack of rigor, it doesn't mean that it's not there, they just don't harass you with p values and endogeneity tests in the book.
I saw that, that's nice, usability seems better than ddg, but what about privacy? Is it better? similar? worse?
So they've stopped working on their own self-driving car from scratch, but they haven't stopped working on self-driving cars.

They just want to progress to semi-autonomous cars with a 3rd party instead of leapfrogging to fully autonomous built in-house, which makes sense.

The headline seemed a bit more ominous...
This actually seems reasonable and fair under two criteria:

- Questions... people need to ask questions (but not ad nauseam).

- Compensation... 'need a job' should not translate to a desperate wage

Understanding and acknowledging your employees have a life after work is important. The only question I have is how, or do you give out bonuses from your yearly profits.

>"For your convenience the banks actually allow new charges on the old cards after they are cancelled."

I have not heard this before. My bank certainly doesn't do this and its a major bank. I actually proactively ask for new cards periodically so that the old ones are no longer valid.

Makes sense. Removed the "name" field.
How I detect fake news
Started exercising.

But seriously.

"Maximum results" is nebulous. I always recommend starting off by understanding that what you're seeking is a long-term process: it takes time.

First: start moving. Doesn't matter what. Don't overstress joints and ligaments unused to strenuous activity. They develop an order of magnitude more slowly than muscles. Walk. Take the stairs. Favor self-motility over technology. Take breaks from sitting (or if you have a standing desk, take breaks from standing). Explore your range of motion. Stick to bodyweight exercises (pushups, pullups, planks, and squats).

Try Nerf Fitness if you lean that direction (the FB group is highly supportive).

Once you've been walking, try something like a couch-to-5k/10k. Zombies, Run! is fun. Try something like the Primal Blueprint (also has a 21-day "reset" plan which can be beneficial).

Enlist partners (not necessarily "gym buddies", but people who will hold you accountable on the days you cannot).

Plan for the long haul.
Another question I have is... who's behind peekier? And how is it funded (servers are expensive, development costs, etc), how does it make money (Google makes money precisely because it doesn't offer those privacy features), and if it doesn't make money what's the agenda behind it?
Experience Design in the Machine Learning Era
I use Emacs with evil-mode (vim bindings) and Programmer Dvorak for my keyboard layout.

It's like anything in life, you just have to make yourself do it. There's no substitute for putting in the work and time. Sure, it's painful for the first few months, but I believe it pays off in the end.

I think the biggest thing is this: you say you try every few years to learn these editors. Don't quit next time.
It's totally worth it.

For me, I learned vim & touch typing at the same time. Generally I learned while doing side projects, supplemented with general vim sessions (such as the built-in tutor, and http://vim-adventures.com/).

Many find it easier to start off with GUI vim as your favourite keyboard shortcuts are still there, but I found that too much of a crutch. Once you commit a few standard sets of motions to muscle memory, I don't think you'll find that much holds you back in day-to-day typing. If you notice yourself doing something repetitive when editing, go and look up how to do that thing more elegantly, and carry on.

I'd also just ignore all the customisations until you find yourself at least somewhat productive with the 'factory settings'.
Yes of course and don't believe the politically-correct or politically-motivated nonsense of "everyone can program".

If you have paid any attention to the society you can see the different classes of personalities. Some of them, naturally, are polar opposites.

For lack of a better word the "artsy" types are generally not "cut out to program".

The people that are cut out to program are generally in a small subset of the "thinking" types.

I know I'm generalising but that's the point, you can almost never state something about a large population and have it hold true or false in all cases so exceptions exist but they are negligible.

Try explaining binary to that kid in your school that loved ballet dancing and theater. You can see a part of them die in their eyes in the first 15 seconds.

Try it with that other nerdy kid that keeps to himself and you see his eyes shine as he has the ah-ha moment. Chances are he doesn't see "the point" of dancing, too.

These differences exist and they are everywhere all around us from a young age to adulthood. Denying it doesn't help anybody.
I love the new keyboard, took two days to get used to it. The old one now feels wobbly and squishy.

The difference is in GoW battles between armies destroy the armies. Nobody would play M:TG if every time you lost a land it went into a shredder. Now imagine your Power 7 are set on fire before you eyes when you lose instead. GoW is designed to consume resources which can only be replaced by unrealistic wait times (days, weeks) or purchased for cash.

At least for the ycombinator crowd, the lesson learned should be how to design such a game assuming your morals allow it. I briefly considered writing a parody that openly abused you for spending money in game. BROADCAST: "Hey everyone, this idiot just spent $10 on some bits on a server in California!" But yeah I would feel bad even making money from that game, and it seemed like a lot of work for something that would probably net $35.

I think the idea is that Alphabet will be spinning this department to become their own company. This means they need to have a product that they can sell and not have the bottomless well of funding they previously saw.

I use keybase.pub to host a whole hugo [1] site. It was very easy to put it together. Updating it is just a hugo + rsync to my keybase public folder.

I also stash some dotfiles in my private folder, and it's extremely handy for sharing signal desktop client safety numbers with other crypto minded friends. I use it for my ssh public keys as well.

I've also used it for snippets with coworkers (secrets or no, it's really nice to be able to sent python /keybase/private/foo,bar/test.py in a chat window, and it can be directly pasted without needing to share the script, or relocate the paths in the command.

I feel like I've naturally developed tons of ways of using it at this point. I'll probably come to depend on it, soon enough.

I started to use Vim maybe six months ago and I found it obviously quite difficult to start with but I took it quite slow. I use Visual Studio at work and installed VsVim so I practiced VIM at work and at home on personal projects I used Vim exclusively.

To start off I used no addons at all, and didn't use any for probably a month or two. I'm a front end developer and spend most of my time in Javascript and Rails at home to give you an idea of what tasks I'd do in Vim.

Eventually I started to notice things I found hard in Vim and slowly set about finding some addons to complement my usage, maybe just two or three at a time. I still probably only use about ten addons so it's not too heavy.

Was it worth it? I'd say so, I'm still learning but I can do most things without using the keyboard although I'm certain there are more simple and elegant ways to do things in Vim heh.

Oh and the best tip I heard? Don't place anything in your .vimrc you don't understand.
Looking at the data from my Unifi switch, each UAP-AC-PRO is drawing 2.5 to 4.5W.
Only in constructed formats (where you build a deck out of your entire collection). In limited formats (which are hugely popular), you and people you play against build decks out of a common pool of cards. There is an entry fee and there are awards for finishing in top spots. So, in the long run, if your win rate is high enough, you can play for free or even make money, but if you suck, you're going to spend a lot.
If you have a registered firearm some jurisdictions will demand the weapon. If you refuse, you get Baker Act'ed. Once they take the firearm, they hold it because they do not view a depressive as mentally fit, ever, for it. You can also go on a registry of mentally defects which prevent you from purchasing another firearm. Some employers covertly access the same list making it hard to get gainful employment in more sensitive tech areas.

The leaked Podesta content goes back quite some time, so yes, there are old emails in there that still had DKIM signatures from a 1024 key.

The email in question is not one of those, and uses the 2048 bit key (emailid/2038).

Also, your assertion that hillaryclinton.com was compromised ... where did you get that? Those emails were released by the govt because of FOIA requests. The DNC was hacked and therefore "compromised" by persons unknown (but some people did a lousy job of attributing it to Russia). The DNC is not hillaryclinton.com, tho.

Well. The concert reseller still has to serve all the clients.

It may display that there are "no more tickets for this concert [at the moment]" but it shouldn't display a 503 error to half of the users and it shouldn't overload the external-ticket-reservation-system either.

That makes an interesting problem where some systems will have to handle queueing/buffering/waiting/erroring nicely for each other =)
What makes you throw away a resume?
Have you considered offering a "chain breaker" service?

What is a chain? (provided in case this is a UK specific term)
A common problem with buying & selling property.
In order to buy a new house you first want to know that your current one will be successfully sold.
As such, you may have a queue of buyers all waiting for someone down the line to get a buyer for their property; as if they fail to get a buyer they drop out causing the next person in the chain to have to find a new buyer before they can buy.
Equally sometimes people waiting in a chain are "gazumped" (another buyer makes a better offer to the current buyer), thus pushing out the current buyer and impacting the buyer's chain from the other end).

You could provide a service whereby buyer and seller have already met, but are stuck in a chain. You'd be able to buy the seller's property and hold it for the buyer until they're ready.
- If they're able to sell their property they can then pay you the price of the new property plus the "holding fee" before moving in.
- If they're unable to sell their property they have the option to sell their current property to you and take the new property as described in the previous step; or to remain where they are simply paying you the holding fee for having held the original property for them, with the new property then entering your portfolio of properties to do up and sell on to the highest bidder.
- These holding fees could be charged monthly up front should that prove simpler than lump sum amounts at the point of decision.

Your service already avoids the need for a chain; but this alternate offering allows you to capture a part of the market of those people not interested in your full service, by having the potential buyers ask that the property be purchased by you instead of the sellers coming to you.
This happened to myself and my housemate recently, this draconian practice is still alive and well in the USA. We have Service Electric, who uses PenTeleData as their provider, and I can honestly say they are the worst service imaginable.. I'd rather have Comcast.

Neither of us use torrents, we prefer streaming services that have everything we need. Regardless, our internet was turned off without notice two months ago. The most frustrating part was that they didn't tell us, it just went off.. so it took us nearly a day to figure out what was even going on. This included a dozen calls to the ISP trying to figure out what was going on, and the surprising part is that they didn't know! There's more to the story including absolutely most incompetent tech support I've ever seen, but a little over a day later we had it turned back on. We asked what we could do to avoid this in the future, and were told not to torrent.

Fast forward to a few weeks back, our internet turns off again. I call and find out that our internet has been cut off for 72 hours due to torrenting, which turned out to be a TV show. A TV show neither of us watches, so the circumstances are suspect.

When I questioned the operator about this, she flat out called me a liar, with no evidence to support her argument. When I suggested that we might cancel our service because of the poor treatment, she said go ahead. Of course, she knew that there are no other ISPs where we live (out in the woods).

So here we are again, our internet may get turned off permanently and without warning for no wrongdoing on our part. Rather strange times we're living in where scumbag companies can get away with this, ruining peoples lives so they can increase their own profits by 3.2%

Burn in hell, PenTeleData, I'm sure you're monitoring this as well.

That is only true for constructed (I've known people who made a living out of playing 8-4 drafts on mtgo).

My 2cents on how I picked up emacs:

Keep using your 'main' editor for coding for now.

Get a shell/terminal that you can open/close with a hotkey (iTerm2 on Mac or something like yakuake on linux)

Run the editor you want to learn (I recommend emacs) in your hotkey terminal (basically you want an 'always there' emacs that you can just pop open at the press of a shortcut key)

Spend 5 minutes learning the basic commands.

+) Move the cursor around.

+) Open a file.

+) Save a file.

+) Switch between buffers/files

Now while coding in your existing editor, use the hotkey window with the new editor as your 'scratchpad' or diary. Note down ideas, todo items, thoughts about the code your are writing etc. Google commands as you need them and you'll pick things up bit by bit.

You don't see the productivity drop because you're not using the editor for your main task of coding, but you'll be using it 'little and often' which is a great way to pick things up.

I made the full switch when after a year or so at work I found myself pseudo-coding and stubbing out methods in my scratch file in emacs and copying them to my IDE.

YMMV but hope that helps :)

Interfacing with retailer buyers is labor intensive and they were trying to sell pebbles everywhere. So you have like one employee-equivalent (across multiple departments) per major client (amazon, target, walmart) and maybe half an employee per minor retailer and you can easily use maybe 30 employees just keeping the retailers entertained. Even if you only sell one unit to walmart it still costs you like one employee-equivalent just to keep the monster fed with paperwork and contracts.

Also hardware has very expensive customer support costs, lets say they had 1e6 sales and fifty customer support (to keep the math easy) and lets say a typical customer support dude burns an hour per ticket total (including training and everything back office) and works 2000 hours per year, thats 100000 or 1e5 customer service interactions per year. Thats only a 10% support rate. Of course the annual rate was probably much lower than 10%, and they probably had a lot less than 50 customer service employees, but you can see how selling consumer hardware can be incredibly expensive. Its very difficult to have a million units out there with fewer than say five people baby sitting them.

There's also the SV stereotype that it takes about Y folks in SV to do what 1 person in Chicago would do, where the value of Y is extremely debatable but certainly larger than 1. The nicest way to put it is if it takes six months to soak in the culture and we intend to double in size and sales every six months then need a team twice as big as it "needs" to be today to be ready in six months, and of course six months from now the team will have doubled again to keep up with the onramp to the next doubling 12 months out, etc. Of course when the growth rate doesn't achieve or flatlines or goes negative for a couple quarters then you have like ten people to do a one person job, so all sad company stories end this way, with why do you have 10M units worth of employees with only 1M sales, no wonder, blah blah.
